I noticed that too! Be curious to hear the lineage of it! I know some criticized the one he wore in The Mandalorian.

Yeh, this trailer didn't really get me excited. Not sure why. It is good however to see the slight armor weathering differences between s2 mando and this trailer. Also, I absolutely love the spider droid. Seems like stop motion but I could easily see it be cg but made to look stop motion.
It’s interesting that this seems to follow Georges supposed original vision for the sequel trilogy which focused on the grab for power among the criminal underworld. From the rumors on the crazy stuff that happens, it seems like they want to keep it a surprise or save it for later trailers.

You are not alone, I’m just hoping the trailer is misleading me but it totally feels like Disney has changed boba fett completely
I had a hard time believing boba fett… the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter would “ask” for his fathers armor back..
The real boba fett would have dropped him dead in his tracks no question asked and taken the armor..
Then teaming up with mando to rescue the child.. idk.. I loved seeing him back. Didn’t like what they did
Now this trailer looks like he’s becoming a liberator lol
I’m probably not seeing the whole picture yet.. not fair to judge by the trailer by itself
But I totally felt the same way you did, glad I’m not alone
I can’t tell now, once I get home I want to investigate and see if it’s the same helmets that were used in mando

People do grow and change.
Boba was a deadly hired gun, and once the PT and TCW existed we saw he was a child forced to grow up very quickly. Now he has had his brush with death and has a new outlook. Jango could have been noble once, a follower of the creed, but strayed off the path as his people tore themselves apart through civil war. Boba is now finding his own path, not a bounty hunter but a leader or potential liberator if that’s where they go.
I personally find it more interesting this way.

I totally can see that direction, I’m just getting grumpy in my old age lol
After this trailer I’m now even more curious where they go
I’m hoping that table of baddies doesn’t like him.. and they’ll be hiring everyone and their uncle to try and take him out..
I think his experience in the Sarlaac changed him. His seems more philosophical about life, which I guess a near death experience combined with time alone can do, I just hope they show this in BoB so it all connects better and feels authentic.

Depending on how much time has passed since S2 of Mando and the BoBF, he's either really been through some stuff or he's been pretty careless with his armor for it to be chipped already. That, and/or he used some really cheap paint, I've seen cheap spray paint that's more chip resistant than what Boiba's used to repaint his armor with.
In regards to the helmet, I don't think that it's supposed to be a different helmet, even if that's the case on set. I'm pretty sure that in universe it's supposed to be the exact same helmet we've seen him with in all of the movies we've seen him in. I'm pretty sure that if it was meant to be a totally new helmet, they would have it much more noticeably so and not just noticeable to the hard-core Fet fans who can tell if a single scratch is out of place and give the exact RGB value or Pantone number for every color on his helmet.

Really hope we get to see Cad Bane in live action
New trailer was OK - still waiting to get the feels from this series

I grew up reading Spider-Man comics and one of the only thing that has irked me about all 3 movie versions of Spider-Man is how often he takes his mask off.
I get that you're paying big bucks to Tobey McQuire and Tom Holland and medium sized bucks to Andrew Garfield and you want to see their faces and emotions in scenes but Spider-Man hardly ever takes his mask off when he's in his Spidey suit. In comic books it way easier to draw him talking with his mask on instead of having to draw a human face all the time, so he pretty much always kept the mask on.
I was really chaffed in EndGame when he came out of the portal at the end battle and immediately took his mask off (via nano-tech) and again when he had the Infinity gauntlet (after landing on the ground).

I have had a couple of brushes with death. First was a cancer diagnosis back around 1997, when I was newly married and really happy for the first time in my life (I mean, since the age of about nine or so, when finding reasons to be happy seemed a lot easier). It was totally unexpected; I went into the hospital for appendicitis, which it turned out had been caused by lymphoma.
Several years later, I was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver; for that brief moment when I realized I was not going to be able to avoid the crash, I was sure I was either about to die or at least be very seriously hurt. Instead, I walked away -- or rather, limped away. I was closer to serious trouble than I realized; one of my injuries was a lacerated spleen that I didn't know about until about a week later. Thankfully, the internal bleeding stopped on its own. Took about three days to get all the bits of glass out of my hair. The drunk driver died after he got to the hospital, leaving behind a wife and two children. He was so drunk at dusk on a Saturday afternoon he was driving on the wrong side of the road; I just happened to encounter him at the top of a steep hill and I couldn't even see him until I was less then seconds away from the collision. Because it was dusk, his headlights blinded me to the point I couldn't see whether I would be better off going completely off the road to my right -- I knew there was a drop in that direction but couldn't tell what else might be there -- plus, as stated, I had almost no time to consider any options. I cut the wheel to the right and got as far over as I could and stood on the brake, but my car at that time didn't have ABS. I was probably at something like 35 or 40 mph when we collided, but I have no idea how fast he was moving. He was in a late'90s Toyota Avalon and I had a somewhat newer Nissan Sentra. I clearly remember the airbag expanding in front of me, and that I somehow had sufficient strength that I never hit said airbag. I came away with a lacerated spleen, a bruised heart, at least one broken rib and a broken left foot.
You can bet that these things certainly did affect my general attitude toward life.

On the topic of the helmet, it looks like he really only has it off in two scenes, the initial look at him where he puts it on in what is seemingly his quarters (same place he and Fennec look from the balcony), and then he takes it off in the bazaar/street which is where they seem to end up surrounded and he’s in the helmetless fight. Most likely because it was full of cash that got dropped. He seems to keep it on when talking to the aliens at the table.
Yeah, not liking the less tapered look. Looks more generic. Not sure why they changed it when it’s clearly supposed to be the same helmet.
