In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones a young boy named Boba Fett witnesses the death of his father. His next chronological film appearance is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, where he’s already one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. It’s quite a journey for the character, but most of it wound up on the cutting room floor.

The animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars filled in some of the gaps of Boba’s journey. Daniel Logan, who played young Boba in Attack of the Clones, was brought back to voice the character. However, according to Logan, some of Boba Fett’s best episodes never saw the light of day.

Clone Wars was cancelled in 2013, leaving many episodes unfinished. Netflix aired some of these ‘lost episodes’ in 2014, and Disney+ brought the show back for a final season in 2020. However, none of those episodes included Boba Fett’s unfinished storyline.

“One of the greatest and saddest things for me working on that show was we actually had a whole season seven that was meant to be based around Boba Fett,” Boba Fett actor Daniel Logan says during a panel at Space Con 2025. “It was about to be the story of Boba Fett and how he got his new armor. Because most people are like, ‘Well, he just took Jango Fett’s armor and he used Jango Fett’s helmet.’ But if you remember in the previous seasons, he blew Jango Fett’s helmet up trying to kill Mace Windu.”

The story would’ve explored Boba Fett’s relationship with Cad Bane, which would’ve culminated in a deadly duel. Some of the events from this deleted arc were later referenced in The Book of Boba Fett.

“We ended up doing a story of how he went around and got his armor. There was a story arc of how Boba Fett got his dent in his helmet, and how he killed Cad Bane, but then Cad Bane ends up surviving and then going against Boba Fett later on in The Book of Boba Fett. They just released the chase between Anakin Skywalker and Boba Fett. You can find that online now. So, they’re slowly but surely releasing some of those roughs that we actually filmed or recorded.”

“I remember when I started reading through these scripts, my eyes just filled with water, because it was exactly as a fan what I wanted to see, and what I thought the fans deserved to see of the backstory of Boba Fett. And I don’t know if those episodes will ever be released.”

Clone Wars has a huge fanbase and the episodes have already been recorded. It seems like an easy win for Lucasfilm to finish these and give them a special release. Maybe one day.
