Alright, alright…I’ll do it.
Bless you! Finally something good to watch!
Different training and life experiences. Also, one has the doubled maturation and accelerated ageing, while the other does not.
9-year-old Boba would have been too small for Jango's armor. He might have worn it briefly in his teens, but -- probably due to better diet and medical care in his developmental years on Kamino -- as an adult, Boba's several inches taller than his father/donor. Boba's armor -- in ESB or ROTJ -- is a larger size, the helmet's larger and a different shape, several pieces have more material, and he's lacking Jango's thigh, shin, and boot armor whilst adding a piece to connect to the larger groin armor that Jango's lacked. The only way it could be remotely the same suit is if Boba melted Jango's down, Armorer-style, and had a new, larger suit cast out of the metal. At which point, it's not really the same suit.
Cobb Vanth is about Boba's size (OT Boba, that is) and that armor was way too small on him, since it was sized for Tem. Something similar in-universe could happen -- Spar or Bossk get some Mando style armor, paint it similarly to Boba, and dress him in it.
If Boba's out in the galaxy doing his thing, it might take a while for word to reach him about these odd goings-on on a Hutt-controlled backwater the Empire never gave much of a damn about. Meanwhile, most people on Tatooine aren't going to know much about what's happening out in the galaxy beyond what they see on the holonet -- those that even have access to the holonet, that is. Some in criminal circles will likely have heard of Boba Fett, have a sense of what he looks like, but have no way of checking up that the guy kicking around Jabba's palace isn't also out scoring bounties three parsecs away. And why would they even think to check something like that?
I've talked with Andy Mangels about that on occasion, actually.
With all of the "certain point of view" EU inclusions in the new canon, he's guardedly hopeful.I know. I still say this would be a much smaller leap that the retconning of Luke and Leia or the timeline prior to ANH.
Exactly. There's an out, given how lackluster this series was in execution. But I also don't trust them to not boof it again if they were to take that out.
That one. I toss this stuff out onto the table in hopes something good might come of it, but the truth is I don't trust the Story Group to open a can of sardines that's already open.
Kast as an adult has dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and very Caucasian skin tones. What are you smoking, my friend?
I've fancast Macaulay Culkin as Jodo Kast for years, personally.
Just wait until Grogus rescue during Order 66 is explained in Obi-Wan Kenobi. They want that Grogu action anywhere they can get it.
Anytime I go to Disneyland I come away with two big reminders
- Disney is still all-in on theming everything with the ST
- They love selling Grogu merchandise
Sadly, I think they are going to push for more Grogu across the board. No matter if it fits or not, and its going to create weird scenarios like we git with BoBF.

I said he could play a character *like* Jodo Kast but even if they did decide to portray him directly, I wouldn't assume Disney would necessarily feel beholden to any prior depiction of him. Heck, Disney's own live action Ariel of The Little Mermaid fame has gone from a blue eyed, red head to a POC. They could easily go with a "reimagining" of the character if they decided to bring him into the live action Disney canon fold. If so, Daniel Logan could potentially be an interesting twist. Or they could dye his hair blonde and say it was close enough. Lol
It's a moot point because I doubt it'll ever happen, regardless.

Always loved Fringe and watching them now in HD even better..
Shame they didn't tie up all the loose ends...but it was a satisfying ending.

I think they see Grogu as their SW Mikey Mouse..

I mean Grogu’s certainly got the ears, er… credentials, for it

If only we had someone that already looks like that, and even goes by Jodo on every forum. If only.

That’s different, oddly enough I can see that workingDifferent training and life experiences. Also, one has the doubled maturation and accelerated ageing, while the other does not.

Why make new characters and try new concepts when they can take ones that were created by someone else, mooch off of their work, completely misunderstand them and fan service the hell out of them to make them almost unrecognizable like they did with Boba Fett? Makes total sense.
And fans are encouraging them to do more of this? For real?

Have Tem grow a beard and he can play Rex in the Ashoka Tano show. He’d be the right age for that character.
What I think could be interesting about Daniel Logan playing a 'Fake Fett' is if the storyline was that 'somehow' he was a failed Clone from Kamino that 'somehow' was taken off-planet (by someone) and not trained as a regular Clone. The failure in his cloning could be why he looks more like young Boba and not adult Fett/Clones. Maybe he remembers being on Kamino and we get flashbacks. Then he either comes across Mando armor, or makes his own out of Durasteel and not Beskar, and is pretending to be Boba Fett to get work.
If DL does Ever play BF again it would feel wrong IMO for him to play a fake version of who he Actually played in the first place..
Maybe Jango lived!!..Boba Carbon froze him until eventually getting the Mod squad to reattach his noggin! and then reinvent himself as an older version of his son till such time as wee Boba picks up the Gauntletts!
If Maul can get cut in half and Fennec can have her torso removed....

Is Logan a decent actor? I really don't know the only thing I've ever seen him in live action was AOTC.
