    Temuera Morrison Gifted with Beautiful Māori Boba Fett Helmet

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    We just wanted to share this lovely Temuera Morrison moment with you. Morrison, who brought character Jango Fett to life in “Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones,” came back to the galaxy far, far away as Boba Fett in season 2 of “The Mandalorian.”

    The official Star Wars accounts were kind enough to add some photos of a pretty awesome gift Morrison received recently. An absolutely beautiful wooden Boba Fett Mandalorian helmet, done in traditional Māori style.

    The helmet was designed and created by fellow New Zealander Mr G Hoete Art.

    Our favorite part? This lovely video Morrison posted, with a very special sign off. “Turou Hawaiki,” which is a reo Māori equivalent of the iconic phrase, “May the Force be with you.”

    Share.
