Star Wars Prequel Star Reveals Funny Stories About Handling Criticism in ‘You Can’t Say That!’

Overview of Daniel Logan’s Experience as Young Boba Fett

Daniel Logan, known for portraying young Boba Fett, encountered significant backlash from Star Wars enthusiasts.
In response to criticism, Logan adopted a defiant stance against negativity.
Many believe the Star Wars franchise should now look beyond Boba Fett’s narrative following the events of The Book of Boba Fett.

Star Wars, a monumental franchise in the cinematic universe, occasionally faces backlash from its passionate fan base. Daniel Logan, the actor who played a younger version of Boba Fett, has recently shared his unique perspective on confronting criticism directed at his character and performance.

The sprawling Star Wars saga has witnessed numerous evolutions throughout its history, introducing a rich tapestry of characters. Though the prequel trilogy received its share of criticism upon release, it introduced several iconic characters, including Boba Fett. This fan-favorite bounty hunter first appeared in the original trilogy, serving Darth Vader before making a return as a young boy in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. More recently, Boba Fett has been reintroduced in popular series like Star Wars: The Mandalorian, capturing the attention of both long-time fans and new audiences.

Logan, who portrayed the young Boba Fett, expressed his enthusiasm for the character’s revival during an appearance at GalaxyCon Richmond. He shared insights about scrapped plans for Boba Fett that might have addressed lingering fan debates, while also reflecting on his interactions with critics of the prequel trilogy.

“When I first started in Star Wars, it was only original fans. If you guys remember, Jake Lloyd and me were the only two kids in Star Wars. You would have people walk by and go, ‘Oh, there goes that crappy kid that played Boba Fett.’ And I’m like [makes confused childlike face].And they’re like, ‘Oh dude, he sucked. Episode II was the worst Star Wars film.’ Fans don’t realize, they’ll come up and be like, ‘Hi Mr. Logan. You were in Episode II and that was the worst film of Star Wars.’ And you’re just like, ‘Oh, thanks.’ What do you say to that?”

Logan’s experiences highlight the severity of backlash faced by the prequels. However, his approach to negativity was surprisingly candid. He recounted how online critics would comment harshly on his performance. In a humorous yet bold assertion, Logan recounted his response to negative remarks.

“I grew up pretty tough, ”Logan said.“and when I came into the world, I had the keyboard warriors like, ‘Oh, you suck!’ I didn’t realize now I’m a celebrity I guess, so I just went to, ‘Oh yeah? Come and say that in a parking lot. Meet me right here and we could talk about it. I’ll beat your a**!’” While this recollection is amusing from a distance, it also underscores the youth and raw emotions Logan experienced. He noted the concern from his manager, who cautioned him about the permanence of such statements, yet Logan remained unapologetic, stating, “I don’t care! They said this about me!”

Fortunately for Logan, perceptions of the prequels have evolved, and he has since enjoyed a more positive reception during his returns to the franchise. He has lent his voice to various characters in Star Wars video games and animated series, contributing further to the connection between the prequels and original trilogy through projects like The Bad Batch.

Despite Logan’s fondness for Boba Fett, current sentiments suggest that the Star Wars franchise should now explore new storylines beyond this established character. With Temuera Morrison, the actor behind Boba Fett’s adult persona, stepping back from the role, this may be an opportune moment for the franchise to pivot and introduce fresh narratives. Logan could potentially play a role in future projects, perhaps as a live-action clone character, which would certainly resonate well with fans who have grown to appreciate him over the years.
