Let men age and grow softer! Jesus Christ I can't tell you how annoyed I am at having scrolled the third iteration of "Bring Back the old Boba Fett" article that popped up around last week. And it's really disappointing to me that Temuera Morrison is seemingly in agreement and wanting to "bring back" a more brutal Boba Fett.
