Portrayers

Boba Fett has been portrayed by a total of six actors throughout all the Star Wars productions. In his first chronological appearance, which was in Attack of the Clones, he was played by actor Daniel Logan. Fett is scheduled to be one of the characters featured in the upcoming Star Wars live-action series, and once again be played by Logan. Fett appeared in an episode of the Droids animated series, where he is portrayed by ILM modelmaker, Don Bies. In the special edition of A New Hope, he is portrayed by another Lucasfilm employee, who was uncredited. In both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett is played by Jeremy Bulloch. In the original and special edition versions of both movies, he was voiced by Jason Wingreen (but his only line in Return of the Jedi was a scream), however, in the 2004 DVD versions of the two films, he was voiced by actor Temuera Morrison, who had portrayed Boba's father in Attack of the Clones, and the voices of all the clones in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In Return of the Jedi, however, he only did the laugh of Boba, which was added in to match that made by the young Boba in Attack of the Clones.

Morrison did not, however, redo the scream Boba made when he fell into the sarlaac pit, and Jason Wingreen's scream remained. The reasoning behind the controversial move of replacing the voice of Wingreen is that as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well. In the special edition of Return of the Jedi, new shots of Boba were filmed. In these scenes he was portrayed by Don Bies, who had also voiced him in the Droids animated series and the animated portion of The Star Wars Holiday Special. Note that the stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI, which are supposedly clones of Boba's father, Jango, or Boba himself, have not yet had their voices redubbed by Morrison, as of the latest versions of the films. Whether or not Lucas intends to or will include this in his next or final versions of the films, has yet to be announced.
