From The Hollywood Reporter:
“The Mandalorian is bringing a familiar helmet back to the Star Wars galaxy.
Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett in 2002’s Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, will appear in season two of the Disney+ Star Wars series.
Sources say Morrison will play Boba Fett, the famed bounty hunter who first appeared on the big screen 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and who seemingly died in 1983’s Return of the Jedi as he fell into a sarlacc pit. Actor Jeremy Bulloch portrayed the character in the original trilogy.
Boba Fett is expected to play just a small role in season two of the series, after the character was teased in the season one episode “The Gunslinger,” when a mysterious figure sporting the bounty hunter’s trademark spurs approached the apparently lifeless body of Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen).
In Attack of the Clones, one of the storylines revolved around the discovery of a secret army of clones being amassed. The clones were built off of Jango. And it was further revealed that fan favorite Boba Fett was actually a clone Jango, being raised as his own son. Daniel Logan played a young version of Boba Fett in that film. While sources say Morrison is playing Boba Fett, it’s always possible that something sneaky involving cloning is going on.
The Mandalorian season two is slated to bow in October on Disney+, and will also include series newcomer Michael Biehn and features directors such as Alita: Battle Angel‘s Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man‘s Peyton Reed.
Morrison appeared in 2018’s Aquaman as Tom Curry, father to Jason Momoa’s hero, and had a role in last year’s Dora and the Lost City of God. He has kept his connection to Star Wars by voicing Jango and Boba Fett, as well as other characters, in various Star Wars video games. “
Oh look here’s Boba Fett back from the dead, it’s a miracle

Can’t wait for this! The Mandalorian has been some of the best Star Wars content, and it’s going to be awesome seeing Temuera back in the Fett suit.

I thought he was dead? Can Anakin come back to life post-ROTJ too?

“Can Anakin come back to life post-ROTJ too?”
If only…
Luckily, Boba Fett coming back to life doesn’t actually break the whole point of the Saga…plus I think Lucas was okay with stories that brought him back anyway.

I don’t know, I think the whole meaning of Death in Star Wars has been cheapened beyond repair.

Fair point…from a thematic sense anyway.
Maybe if TROS didn’t make everything like death pointless, you wouldn’t have as much of an issue with it.
Here’s the source for my first comment, btw: http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/f/b/f/fbf1b9a6c0a61b14/ForceCast_012012_WeeklyForceCast.mp3?c_id=4196345&cs_id=4196345&expiration=1589566902&hwt=1b9e6465f0a471a86a7a8fc1500cd2af.”
I have no idea if it’s true or not.
