"The Book of Boba Fett" is changing the way we understand the titular Star Wars icon, who first showed up in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" as a taciturn bounty hunter who barely spoke three lines. In the new show, he's taking over Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire on Tatooine and getting a lot more chatty. That change hasn't sit well with everyone, including star Temuera Morrison.
"I was not very successful, I was hoping not to say as much as I have already in the first two episodes," Morrison recently told NME. "I speak far too much. In fact, in the beginning, I was trying to pass my lines on to Ming-Na [Wen, who plays bounty hunter Fennec Shand]. I said: 'Excuse me, director, I really feel that Ming-Na should say these lines, 'cause I wanna stay mysterious. I wanna stay quiet.'"
