Unlike most of the other reviewers here, I caught this mini-documentary right after the sixth episode of "The Book of Boba Fett", instead of when it came out prior to the series release on Disney Plus. It's true what the story mentions, right after "The Empire Strikes Back" came out in 1980, my two sons immediately latched on to Boba Fett as one of their favorite characters, even with minimal screen time. Although I consider myself a Star Wars fan, I never did get into the personalities of the actors who portrayed the characters, so much of what was presented here was new to me. The fact that Boba Fett had a life even before he appeared in the main franchise was a revelation, and have to agree with the commentators in the story that the mystery of the character and the 'T Helmet' he wore all contributed to the growing popularity of the world's most famous bounty hunter. Aside from the emphasis on Boba Fett, you really have to tune in to this short, twenty two minute feature to catch the world's largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia. If you think you're a serious collector, that alone will blow you away!

"He went from white plastic to Boba Fett!"
Migraine inducing
I couldn't get past the squeaky narrator.... This isn't the Mickey Mouse club... oh ... yeah it is.
It should have been Temuera Morrison narrating ...
Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett
This documentary on the Star Wars character Boba Fett ties in nicely with the new Disney series The Book of Boba Fett.
The character was conceived as some kind of super imperial soldier with an enhanced costume.
He made his debut in the Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978 as a Bounty Hunter. He was also seen with Darth Vader in a parade.
The characters debut was in The Empire Strikes Back where he was played by British actor Jeremy Bulloch but voiced by Jason Wingreen.
Despite a minimal presence in Empire and The Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett struck a chord with Star Wars fans.
This was a diverting documentary with a focus on Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison who now plays Boba Fett. He made his debut in the Star Wars prequel playing Boba's father.
It would certainly be of interest who might know much about the history of the character. The main omission seems to be the lack of acknowledgement about Jason Wingreen.
