The Mandalorian season 3 did not go down well with many Star Wars fans, and one of the franchise’s stars has contributed to the criticisms.
Temuera, who portrayed Boba Fett in the second series, was disappointed since he expected to be cast again in the third.
Temeura believes he was assured it would happen after the success of the spin-off The Book of Boba Fett, which would be released on Disney Plus in 2021.
‘I was supposed to be in The Mandalorian season three, but nobody rang me,’ he revealed.
‘I was waiting for the phone call in New Zealand, waiting and wanting to give up.’
Pedro Pascal, 48, who plays Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, featured in The Book of Boba Fett, which appears to have irritated Temuera even more.
‘Well that Mando guy stole a few chapters of my book. I’m sure this guy is, ah, ruining my show. But I couldn’t say anything. I’m not the writer, so I have to bear it I guess,’ Temeura, 62, told Comic Book. Although, it’s worth noting that the New Zealand actor is known for occasionally being sarcastic.
Temeura has spent nearly two decades in the Star Wars world. He began his career as Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones in 2002, before moving on to portray his cloned son Boba, who became a fan favourite following Return of the Jedi.
He physically represented him for the first time in the second season of The Mandalorian in 2020.
The Mandalorian formerly had an average rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience score on the review-aggregation website has since dropped to roughly 50%.
In the most recent episode, titled Chapter 24: The Return, Din Djarin and Bo Katan (Katee Sackhoff) fought evil Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) and regained Mandalore.
Fortunately for fans, a fourth season of the smash drama is in the works.
Co-showrunner Jon Favreau admitted during a recent interview that he’d already set to work on it, telling French television station BFMTV: ‘Season four, yeah, I’ve written it already.’
Maybe we’ll see Boba in that one!
