The Book of Boba Fett star answers criticism of show

The Book of Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison has addressed criticism of the recent Star Wars series, admitting there are things he would have "done a little bit different".

The actor reprised the role of the titular bounty hunter for the series earlier this year, having returned to the role in The Mandalorian season 2.

However, Boba Fett didn't receive as warm a reception as the main series, and while he praised the love from fans as well as his colleagues, Morrison suggested there are some changes he would have made.

"Feeling the love from all the fans, feeling that we've done something good and the reaction I've been getting from the fans is overwhelming," he told ScreenRant.

The star said he was "very proud, and just grateful for the wonderful opportunity to play Boba Fett" as well as working with co-star Ming-Na Wen, adding: "We had a wonderful chemistry. It was so easy to work with her. She had been my confidant and it was really a duo effort.

"When I was short on information, we had a wonderful crew around us... I had plenty of people to draw on," Morrison continued. "And even that was a journey for Boba Fett, [from] where we'd found him and where we were taking him; the introduction of the Tuskens, providing that nourishment, that family environment.

"Now that I'm looking back at it, I don't know, it's just one of those things. Things are great when you look back, but there are some things I may have done a little bit different. But again, just for me to work with Jon [Favreau] and be part of the Mandalorian family [has] just been quite phenomenal, really."

Earlier this month, Disney+ released Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett, which takes a look behind the scenes of the show.

The Book of Boba Fett is streaming on Disney+.
