Boba’s Back! Daniel Logan Speaks

from StarWars.com:

The explosive multi-part finale of the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars kicks off this week on the Cartoon Network, with the airing of “Death Trap,” an episode that introduces young Boba Fett to the series. Daniel Logan, who played Fett in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, returns to the role as the visual inspiration and voice of the character.

“It’s been about 10 years since I last played Boba,” says Logan. “Time flies when you’re in Star Wars. It wasn’t very hard, but I was very nervous the first day going into the studio with [supervising director] Dave Filoni and the rest of the crew. It was kind of like going on the set again. They made me feel very welcome. Dave was such a great director, and he knows exactly what he wants. We worked together really well, and I love how Boba came out in The Clone Wars.”

Fett is slightly older than he was last seen in Episode II, and because he too is a clone of Jango Fett, he physically resembles exactly the clone cadets serving the Republic. “I see Boba as looking at himself as a unique character,” says Logan. “He is Jango Fett’s son. In his heart, he is the only one. And he sees the clones as clones. They may resemble his father, but they will never be him at heart.”

Logan has been a fixture in the fan community since his appearance in Episode II, and can often be found at conventions and events where he interacts directly with Star Wars fans. Keeping tight-lipped about his appearance in The Clone Wars has proven a challenge. “I found out about being in The Clone Wars a little over a year ago, and it was very hard, because I’d go out to conventions, and people would always come up to me and ask, ‘Hey, Daniel! What are you up to?’ I was dying to say, ‘Boba’s back!’ but every time I wanted to, I had to pull myself back. Now that I’m able to say it, I’m very excited, and I probably won’t be able to stop talking about it for a couple of weeks. Or a couple of months, actually!”

Daniel Logan features as Boba Fett in “Death Trap,” airing on April 23rd, and in the two-part season finale airing on April 30th on the Cartoon Network.
