This ‘Boba Fett’ Star Lets Slip That [SPOILER] Happened During an Interview

This has become an inside joke amongst Marvel fans with actors featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo. Star Wars is usually able to keep pretty tight lips regarding their shows and movies. However, sometimes actors do get bombarded with so many questions and accidentally let something slip. In a recent interview, The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison may have done exactly that when he spoke about an action scene featured in the show.

10 Relatively Unknown ‘Star Wars’ Characters Who Received Their Own Action Figure
Star Wars action figures were the primo toy line for so many kids that grew up in the 1980s. It was the toy line that started it all. When Lucas, through Charlie Lippincott, set up the deal with Kenner, it was with the idea that the money for the films would come from the merchandise, not the box office draws. That worked like a charm. From the "early bird special" released during Christmas 1977, Star Wars action figures were in high demand for the entirety of their run. Of course, they had some challengers later on with G.I. Joe, He-Man, and Transformers, but none of them had the story to back them up like Star Wars, which partially contributed to the variety of action figures produced.

Check Out This Newly Released Concept Art For Dark Rey's Lightsaber
Dual-bladed lightsabers have been a Star Wars fan favorite since Darth Maul famously ignited his dual-bladed lightsaber in The Phantom Menace at the start of his epic lightsaber duel with the Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo. In the concept art for Duel of the Fates, the purported Colin Trevorrow treatment for Star Wars Episode IX that never came to fruition, Rey was going to wield a blue dual-bladed lightsaber, an idea that I really would have liked to have actually seen happen. The idea survived, somewhat, in J.J. Abrams' finished version of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. It is instead the evil "mirror vision" of herself (aka "Dark Rey") that we see wielding a red dual-bladed lightsaber, similar to, but stylistically different from, Maul's.
