Clone Wars spoilers from upcoming voice changer helmet?

M

Mr. Sin

I noticed something while using Rebelscum.com today with their Toy Fair coverage:


STAR WARS BOBA FETT HELMET
(Approximate Retail Price: $34.99; Ages: 4 & up; Available: August 1, 2010)
Show off your bounty hunting skills like Boba Fett, the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy, with the
STAR WARS BOBA FETT HELMET. Impressively designed and styled, the STAR WARS BOBA FETT HELMET allows children to pretend to be their favorite bounty hunter as featured in both the movie THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and the new animated series STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS. The helmet also features electronic sounds and phrases and a light-up tracking scope!



-So perhaps Boba will show up in Clone Wars after all?
 
Or it could be a misstatement, confusing the Mandalorian armor seen in the just-concluded 3-parter with Boba Fett specifically.

From the previews of this season, the creators did mention working on story that shows what happens to Boba Fett after Geonosis.

They let that cat out the bag months ago. ;)
 
Hey, the latest episode had...

...a Mandlorian assassin wearing very similar armour to Fett's and voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who also voices the Clones.

Um, all the armour is the same for Deathwatch and they doubled up on a voice artist, so what's your point exactly?

^That the accent used was more than a coincidence ?

and?

I mean seriously, they come from the same planet, they may even come from the same area on that planet, so a similar accent is just a coincidence, no more, no less.
 
But the Death Watch assassin didn't have the Australian accent of the clones. It was the same voice artist, Dee Bradley Baker, but using a more neutral accent.

The point is that all the clones are genetically identical to Jango Fett, and thus to Boba Fett. So if the character in Mandalorian armor has the exact same voice as the clone troopers, even without the same accent, it's natural enough that it would spark some speculation.

On the flipside, though, Baker is a prolific voice artist with a wide range, so it's natural enough that they'd use him for the occasional fill-in voice. It's likely just a coincidence. But with the Mandalorian armor being involved, it's hard to be certain.

Point of order Mr Speaker, the clones do not have an Australian accent - they have a New Zealand accent - Temuera Morrison is a Kiwi :)
 
Well, I suppose technically it's a Concord Dawn accent that just happens to sound like a New Zealand accent.

Which begets the question: why do all the clones have the same accent as a progenitor they never met? Since when was accent a hereditary trait?
 
the RC novels have the clones meeting Jango. he trains a lot of clones. mostly the RCs, but also some of the regular meat-cans
