Trivia
During the development of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Fett was originally conceived as a member of a group of white-armored Imperial "supercommandos" before the idea was scrapped in favor of a solitary bounty hunter. This concept later evolved into the Mandalorians, a cultural group with strong warrior traditions, who sport armor and helmets similar to Fett's.

Quotes
George Lucas: This is a good character. People like the bad guys.

Something enjoyable for newcomers and casual viewers of "Star Wars"...

Running at a mere 21 minutes, the 2021 documentary "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett", that I only assume came into being because of the upcoming "The Book of Boba Fett" TV series, was good enough for a single viewing.

Personally, then I found that "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" offered nothing new to me. This was all stuff that I had seen or heard before. But it was still watchable and enjoyable for what it was. And I suppose for the casual "Star Wars" viewer or new-coming fan, then director Brian Kwan's 2021 documentary offers some great insight into the phenomena that is Boba Fett.

Sure, "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" was a little bit of enjoyable documentary, but it wasn't something that made me go 'wow'. Nor is it something with enough contents to it to support more than just a first and single viewing.

My rating of "Under the Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
