But I was so nervous that some of it was just going straight over my head. Obviously they had their ideas about what they wanted to do, and they must have told me that they wanted me to play the role again. I was just listening - I wasn’t discussing anything. What did you discuss with them in that meeting? What happened when you finally got the call that the series creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni wanted to meet with you? I felt so grateful that after all this time, something came to be. They could have called other people to play the part. In this day and age, they have a number of options. My agent and I had a number of discussions - when are they going to call me? But then I kept forgetting about it. There was a lot of stuff online about a possible “Star Wars” bounty-hunter film, and then I was watching all the new “Star Wars” movies coming out, wondering if they were ever going to do anything with Jango Fett. How long have you been awaiting your opportunity to return to the “Star Wars” series? These are edited excerpts from that conversation. Morrison, who has also starred in films like “Once Were Warriors,” “Moana” and “Aquaman,” spoke on Friday about assuming the mantle of Boba Fett and his history with the “Star Wars” franchise. (Multiple Morrisons appear in “Episode III - Revenge of the Sith,” in which he played various clone soldiers he has also voiced Boba Fett and Jango Fett in several “Star Wars” video games, and his voice has been retroactively added to Boba Fett’s scenes in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.”)
