STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Actor Opens Up About Unseen Season 7 Boba Fett Story Arc

Star Wars: The Clone Wars delivered some of the most exciting stories in the Star Wars franchise, and even after its 2020 finale, fans are still discovering just how much more the series almost gave us.

A major unfinished arc centered on Daniel Logan’s young Boba Fett was once planned for the show’s seventh season, and the actor recently shared new insight into what was left on the cutting-room floor.

During his appearance at Space Con, Logan talked about stepping back into the bounty hunter’s boots after first playing him in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

While the final season of The Clone Wars wrapped up several major threads, Logan explained that a full storyline dedicated to Boba Fett was originally mapped out but never completed for release.

Logan described the arc, saying it would have explored how Boba evolved into the armored hunter fans know. According to him, things were far more complex than Boba simply putting on his father’s gear. As Logan explained:

“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. 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 actor went on to share that pieces of those abandoned Clone Wars ideas eventually resurfaced years later in The Book of Boba Fett, though not in their original form. Logan continued:

“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.”

For fans who always hoped to see Boba’s path fully realized in animation, these details are both exciting and a little bittersweet. The idea of a young Fett crossing paths with Cad Bane, earning the dent in his helmet, and building his legend within the criminal underworld sounds like classic Clone Wars storytelling.

Even though his unfinished arc may never be completed, interest in the galaxy’s Mandalorians is far from fading. Lucasfilm is gearing up for The Mandalorian and Grogu, arriving in 2026 and bringing the duo to the big screen for the first time.

Whether Boba Fett appears in the movie remains unknown, but given his past involvement with Din Djarin, many fans are hoping he’ll rocket back into the story eventually.

Until then, the mystery of the lost Clone Wars episodes adds yet another interesting and cool layer to one of Star Wars’ most iconic characters.
