Among
others, Boba Fett is the most fearful bounty hunter in the universe.
There were many question marks about the past of this dangerous and
mysterious bounty hunter, until it was revealed in Star Wars Episode
II: Attack of the Clones. We were introduced a younger Boba Fett,
whom he learned much from his father and shared both his talents and
his notoriousness. We have asked a couple of questions to Daniel Logan,
who played as the young (and probably the new) Boba Fett about himself
and his role and he gladly agreed to share all with YILDIZSAVASLARI.COM.
We hope you like it, here it is:
YS.COM: Boba Fett is one of the most popular
characters in the Star Wars universe. So, how does it feel to be the
most notorious “future” bounty hunter in the galaxy?
D.
L.: Playing a character that has so many fans was great. Being able
to see what the character looks like and how he acts in the future
was an inspiration for me.
YS.COM:
Fans became very anxious when they heard that
a younger Boba Fett will show up in Episode II. What were your feelings
when you first heard of the role? How did you end up with it?
D.
L.: I
was excited, VERY excited. To be a part of Star Wars was a dream come
true. Even at 13, I knew what an honour it was to be selected as an
actor in Star Wars.
YS.COM:
Surely one of the most exciting scenes in Episode
II is the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett on the landing platform.
Could you tell us about the atmosphere in the Kamino Landing Platform
scene?
D.
L.: It
was wet! It was also great fun. Temuera had a rainbow coloured umbrella
and was dancing around the rainy sets.
YS.COM:
A most common part of all Star Wars movies is
a space dogfight. Was it difficult to fly “Slave I”? Could you tell
about your experiences while shooting the Asteroid Field scene?
D.
L.: Not
really. The cockpit was fun to film in. It was all there, no blue
or green screen. It looks as if I have to crawl in the seat that is
situated horizontally, but it was not. Temuera and I had fun during
the asteroid scene. I had to do my “FIRE” and my little evil laugh
when we thought we got Obi-Wan.
YS.COM:
The
first time we see you is the “Jango’s Apartment” scene, In that scene,
Jango tells you something and you close the door. What language is
it?
D.
L.: To
my knowledge it was not a real language. But I could be wrong.
YS.COM:
Talking about the scenes in Episode II, what is your
favorite scene (among yours) and why?
D.
L.: My
favourite scene that I am in is when Boba is holding Jango’s helmet
in the arena. It is very emotional with the way the scene is lit,
filmed and the music. My favourite scene that I am not in is when
Yoda is battling Count Dooku.
YS.COM:
Although you were much young to have more action in
the movie, fans would love to see more Boba Fett. Are there any young
Boba Fett scenes which were cut out of the movie?
D.
L.: Not
that I can remember.
YS.COM:
The character that you are most related to is eventually
your father, Jango Fett. How was your relation with Temuera Morrison
on and outside of the set?
D.
L.: Temuera
and I are very good friends. We still see each other. On set we had
a great relationship, playing father and son.
YS.COM:
You are one of the youngest actors that played in the
entire Star Wars saga. What are your feelings about taking part in
these popular series?
D.
L.: All
I can say is that I am very honoured to be a part of Star Wars. As
I have grown older, I have realized just how widespread and popular
Star Wars is. There are references to Star Wars in so many TV shows
and films. The whole thing amazes me and again, I am very proud to
be a small part of something so big.
YS.COM:
Besides Darth Vader’s armor, the armor of the Fett
family is very appealing. What would be your personal choice: to wear
the original green Boba Fett costume or the silver Jango Fett costume?
D.
L.: I
actually like them both. Jango’s is nice with a shiny new look, where
Boba’s is more rugged and battle damaged looking.
YS.COM:
Some news are popping up from Lucasfilm about a new
TV series. Are you going to take part in the new Star Wars TV series?
(If you will, are there any news about it?)
D.
L.: At
this time, I have no news to give as I have not been asked to be involved.
It is my understanding that the series is still in the development
stage. If I am asked to be a part of the new series, I would be willing
and honoured. Whether or not I am a part of the new series, I am sure
it will be wonderful and the fans will enjoy it.
YS.COM:
If not the TV show, what will be your next project?
D.
L.: I
am actually concentrating on school at this time. I am always pursuing
my acting career as well. I work regularly with acting and dialogue
coaches.
YS.COM:
We are sure that being evil is cool, but would you
rather prefer to be a Jedi Knight?
D.
L.: No,
being Boba is fine with me. But if I was asked to play a Jedi, I would
not say no.
YS.COM:
Are you collecting any Star Wars merchandise?
D.
L.: I
do. I enjoy collecting Boba Fett merchandise. There are so many things
about Boba that it will take me many years to get them all. Some of
my favourite items are the fan made ones. There are many talented
people who are fans of Boba Fett.
YS.COM:
What do you think about our web site?
D.
L.: I
think it looks great. I enjoyed seeing the fan art section.
YS.COM:
What is your message to the Star Wars fans in Turkey?
D.
L.: I
would like to say thank you for supporting Star Wars. I hope to visit
your wonderful country some day.
YS.COM:
We thought one day the young bounty hunter may be emissioned
in our part of the galaxy. Would you like to visit Turkey one day?
D.
L.: Certainly!
I would love to visit Istanbul and the Church of St. Sophia as well
as the Topkapi Palace. I have also heard the Grand Bazaar is a site
to see. There is so much history in Turkey, I hope someday to be able
to see it in person.
YS.COM:
Thank you for sparing your time and sharing your great
experiences.
D.
L.: Thank
you for your wonderful questions,
