The Obi-Wan Kenobi series contained many, many cameos from Star Wars past. While there were a few scene stealers later in the season, one of the best came early on, during the second episode: Temuera Morrison returned as a withered clone, begging for money on the streets of Daiyu.
The actor has played dozens of clones throughout Star Wars history, most recently playing the title role in The Book of Boba Fett. Total Film caught up with Morrison after the second episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi aired and asked how the cameo came together.
“That was the best part of the whole Obi-Wan Kenobi show!” he says excitedly. “I’m kidding. I really enjoyed it. Playing in his story and his time zone – things are changing. I’m repping that whole clone army that doesn’t exist anymore.”
The Obi-Wan Kenobi show and The Book of Boba Fett series were filmed at the same time and in the same place, which made the crossover relatively easy to pull off. It was also the first time Morrison had starred opposite Ewan McGregor since Revenge of the Sith, the two also had key scenes together in Attack of the Clones, which this year celebrated its 20th anniversary.
“It was a wonderful opportunity to get in there and see what they’re doing across the room from where we were,” says Morrison. “That was helpful, it worked out pretty well to do a little cameo. I enjoyed working with Ewan again, going back to Attack of the Clones. We did all of that [puts on clone character’s voice], “Hey, you! You came to see me and this army”, and all that. It was a wonderful time.”
It’s unclear if Morrison will return to the Star Wars universe: He currently has no more cameos scheduled and Boba Fett’s fate remains unknown. The actor previously joked about how he wanted to bring the bounty hunter back.
“We have to bring him back somewhere. We have to see old Boba Fett,” Morrison told Entertainment Tonight. (opens in a new tab). “We reintroduced him. We found out a few things. But I think it’s time for him to go back to his rough ways. There’s no two ways around that. So, I think we have that scope to go back there, but that’s kind of out of line.” my control. I’ll see what happens.
