Temuera Morrison Was Given A Custom Māori-Style Boba Fett Helmet

thegamer.com:

The Book of Boba Fett may be over, but Boba Fett seems far from done. After securing the criminal underworld of Tatooine, Fett is taking a break as Disney figures out what to do with Star Wars next. And that gave Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison the chance to return home to his native New Zealand to receive a grand honor.

In a special ceremony on Wednesday, Morrison was gifted a Māori style carving of Boba Fett’s helmet made by Aotearoa New Zealand multi-disciplinary artist Graham Hoete. Hoete presented the carving personally to Morrison who accepted it with handshakes, a smile, and a Haka, a ceremonial Māori dance.

"Wow," wrote Hoete on Twitter. "What a dream come true for this Māori from a small island with a population of 60 people to have @starwars share my work on their platform. I have no words… shedding a couple tears… thank you, Star Wars. E mihi ana kia koutou katoa."

That last bit was Māori for "thank you very much."

In other Star Wars news, we’re still not quite over digital Luke Skywalker and what that might mean for other beloved characters. What happens if it's cheaper for Boba Fett to be played by a digital avatar than Temuera Morrison?
