Biography[]

Daniel Logan

Daniel Logan, circa 2000

Before filmmakers offered Daniel Logan the role of young Boba Fett in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, they offered the part to an 11-year-old New Zealand boy, Tupoutahi Winitana—Bodie Taylor's co-performer in the Māori stage production Ahorangi 2000. Due to the significance of Winitana's role in Ahorangi 2000 and scheduling conflicts between the stage performance and filming, Tupoutahi was forced to turn down the Star Wars role.[3]

For his role in Attack of the Clones, George Lucas allowed Logan to give his own interpretation of the character[4] and one of the ways he prepared was by reading Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary.[5] He was nominated for the 2003 Young Actor Award for "Best Performance in a Feature Film - Supporting Young Actor."[6] Logan was originally slated by Lucas to reprise his role in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, with Lucasfilm holding him for a year until it was his turn to shoot his part, but his participation was ultimately written out after Samuel L. Jackson convinced Lucas to not have Logan's character return to kill Jackson's Mace Windu, as Jackson felt someone powerful as his character deserved to be killed by someone far more threatening than a "punk kid."[7] Logan later reprised his role as Boba Fett in several episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.[8] He was rumored to play a part in the unproduced Star Wars live-action TV series.[9][10]

Logan appeared in the Star Wars documentaries Bucket Head,[5] From Puppets to Pixels and Heart of an Empire. He had a blog at StarWars.com,[11] and has appeared at multiple Star Wars conventions and reported from Star Wars events.[12][13][14][15]
