Despite being one of the most successful and well-known film epics, “Star Wars” “ruined” the careers of several actors, as they disappeared after having leading roles in the galactic productions created by George Lucas.
One of the actors who had a leading role in one of the films of the franchise was Daniel Logan in “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones”, giving life to Boba Fett as a child.
However, after his 2002 role in the prequel, little was heard or seen of the young actor again. Today, 21 years after he played Boba Fett, here we tell you what he’s been up to and show what Daniel Logan looks like now.
What happened to the boy who played Boba Fett? He is already 35 years old
In the “Star Wars” universe, it’s common to see child actors playing beloved characters when they’re young, like the boy from Mexico who plays young Cassian Andor in the Disney+ series of the same name with Diego Luna.
- Diego Luna stars in movie ‘Nicotine’, which you can watch for free on ViX.
This is also the case in 2002’s ‘Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones’, where bounty hunter Jango Fett’s (Temuera Morrison) DNA is used to create a clone army for the Republic.
The only condition Jango made him accept, other than his payment, was that he keep a clone without alterations or accelerated aging, whom he named Boba Fett and cared for as if he were his own son.
The actor chosen to bring young Boba Fett and the child clones to life was New Zealand native Daniel Logan, who was 13 at the time and had only appeared in a few commercials and a few series.
At a panel in May 2022, the actor admitted that he was surprised that he did not return for 2005’s “Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” although he did return to play Boba Fett in the future.
After passing through the Star Wars films, Daniel Logan moved away from acting a bit and has only played a few roles since then, such as in ‘The Legend of Johnny Lingo’ (2003) or ‘Star Trek Continues’ (2014). .
He has also starred in “Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens” where he plays a pilot named Captain Fett and has a helmet in Boba’s colors. His last screen performance was in 2018’s ‘The Griddle House’.
However, Logan has always expressed his love for the original Star Wars Mandalorian, and between 2010 and 2012 he reprized the young Boba Fett in six episodes of the animated series ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’.
In addition to the fact that in the 2021 series ”The Book of Boba Fett” his face was used to show flashbacks of the bounty hunter and he is the voice of Boba Fett in the 2022 video game Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’ .
