Yeah! It's not like the Emperor or Boba Fett came back before...wait...

I'm about 90% sure he's not, he's not played by Daniel Logan or Temeura Morrison, he doesn't have the New Zealand accent, and if he was Boba Fett they probably would have promoted the hell out of it. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have been plastering his name and Logan or Morrison's face all over the marketing if it was him. The only reason it's not 100% is simply because I never definitely rule anything out until the show is released and people have seen and can testify to what is in it.
It's not from the special editions, it goes back to the prequels where Boba and his father were both played by Maori actors who used their real accents.[/QUOTE]
Nope. Not according to George Lucas and the Clone Wars TV series.
The fan base doesn't write the canon.
That was in the prequels first.
I am so glad for that.
We do to a degree, when enough of us decide to withhold our money.
I and my friends withheld money from the books for years...we finally won!!
No, he isn't. According to the Mandalorians in Clone Wars, Jango was not an actual Mandalorian, and it's unknown how he acquired Mandalorian armour. Therefore, Boba can not be "Mandalorian by blood."
Yes, thank you, I realize that. I should hope it was obvious my post was not meant to be taken seriously, certainly it seemed to be obvious to those who Liked it.
That's insulting to Rian Johnson.
Attack of the Clones - 2002
Empire Strikes back - 1979
And even if we were living in a Star Wars timeline Boba had lost his accent by 'Empire Strikes Back'.
They basically disavowed him because he had a bad reputation and was a bounty hunter. I wouldn't take their words so literally.
For example, my girlfriend says i'm not her boyfriend anymore. See, she doesn't really mean that. She is just angry.
Sure is cold sleeping in this car though...
He's not a Mandalorian in the new canon.
During the production of Clone Wars, George Lucas told Filoni he wasn't a Mandalorian, Dave took that and put it in the show, and none of the material released since the reboot has called him or his father a Mandalorian.
The Special Editions are canon, so he didn't.
He also has the accent in the recent Battlefront videos games (where he is voiced by Temuera Morrison) which are canon.
Let me rephrase that. Fans that don't make material officially licensed by LucasFilm.

Except, Lucas himself oversaw the Special Editions, where he does have the accent. So, canon is he has an accent.
Darn that Lucas!
The Vanity Fair preview has been released though other sources. This one gives us our first look at Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand, and the first bit of dialogue from the Ugnaught, Kuiil, who's voiced by Nick Nolte.
If he were disavowed, it wouldn't be such a mystery where he got his armour.
If I recall, the ones that denounced Jango Fett as being Mandalorian were Death Watch. I don't know if they have a thing against bounty hunters, or if Fett really did just collect armor from someplace. Somehow I imagine the unfinished Clone Wars story about Boba Fett and Cade Bane dueling might have raised the issue again.
The BTS features for the first Mandalorian arc which IIRC had commentary by Filoni saying that Lucas told them that Boba and Jango were not Mandalorians. This is further corroborated in much earlier sources like the ESB Novelization and Bantha Tracks, which all claim he just wears the armor of a group that fought the Jedi during the Clone Wars (which is all rather oddly specific suggesting this description came from on high).
No, it was someone from the government.
Who, if I recall, was also leader of Death Watch.
Well sh*t!
As much as I enjoy Clone Wars and Rebels I have trouble taking animated series canon seriously over the movies. Until it's confirmed in live action I will keep hope that he is Mandalorian, even if he wasn't born on Mandalore.
Clone Wars is just as canon as the Movies. George worked on it, he approved stories, and even said no to others.
