Oh Why Did They Change His Voice??? (Page 1 of 3)

Same here.

i love it.It fits better. I admit if they had kept it the same, the expanded universe could have explained it(Notice how 3 members of delta sqaud DON@t have tem's voice) but it fits to have Tem's voice.

What i would have liked to see changed was the scream when han accidently acitivates the jetpack. I dnt think the scream fits at all for Boba, it should b removed full stop.

That one I do agree with, the scream should be removed. Either that or Ben Burtt can play with it a bit to make it deeper and more manly, maybe shorter too. But removed entirely would be better.

In the dvd versions of the OT Boba has a different voice than in the VHSs. This is because some idiot decided to make a very bored Temuera do a half-hearted attempt to copy Boba's voice and then they decided to dub this in as Boba's voice in the movies.

Yeah the scream is so wrong. But then the flirting with Rystall is too. Ah they should have just left him how he was. There were many possible reasons why Boba's voice could have been different - synthesizer, accident etc.

I also noticed you can tell when it's Jeremy acting and when it's not. Jeremy just has Fett's moves down so well. He was right to say "He's slow, but he's fast" it's so true!

It's hard for me to really take a side on this because I have not seen the OT on VHS since I was probably six. I have no memory of hearing Boba's voice from the VHS. I didn't know his voice had been changed on the DVD until I joined the message boards here at BFFC. Now, I have heard the old Boba Voice from downloading his phrases, and I really do like it better. It just seems to fit him... can't explain it. Also, I agree with his scream is something that could be changed for the better. My brother claims that it is used a few other times in the movies, like when Padme's ship is blown up at the begining of Episode II, someone has a all too similar scream...

it sounds similar but it isnt the whilem scream

I know that part, when an elven warrior falls off the Deeping Wall and screams like a little girl.

Oh silly people...he wasn't FLIRTING.  He was scanning her face to match her up with a bounty on his list.
He killed her later, when nobody was looking.

Yet if you've played Republic Commando, all the clones have different voices, yet came from the same template.

I started watching the Original Trilogy when I was about 4, and watched it pretty much weekly if not several times per week for the next few years. I grew up with the original Boba voice, and when I bought the 'remastered' DVD collection, I was mortified. Both the scene with Rystall, and the new voice woke an anger inside me the likes of which have never been seen. Were the person who did that present, I very likely would've made his knees bend the wrong way, broken his spine, and made him look as I stepped on his throat, helpless to do anything.

*breathes deeply* Ice cubes Johnny...remember ice cubes....ice cubes are cool, be cool. Bloody psychiatrist stuff doesn't help anyway.

If you haven't already assumed, I hate the voice change with an undying passion. I hate the voice, I hate the Rystall scene, and I most definitely (even though it was in the OT) hate the scream. Those responsible for the changes should be publically executed, and I would find no greater honor than being on the firing squad.

But pertaining to the subject: Why did they change his voice? Because sadly, I'm not entirely sure if Lucas knows his characters as much as his fans do. I'm not going to get into the whole 'Greedo shooting first' ordeal (HAN SHOT FIRST GORRAM IT), but I do indeed believe that The Flanneled One has lost sight of the glory of his original creations. This would also help explain why Episodes I, II, and III weren't even close to the greatness of their predecessors. Long live the OT, and let the fires of Tartarus consume he who slaughtered the image of our exhalted Fett.

Ditto to that. Lucas lost the plot when he wrote Ep I to III. But it's all about the money. If he wanted to do more films why didn't he start them with Luke passing the torch onto another young novice who had to prove themselve in a time of turmoil, at least then things would have tied together more easily.

Dervish, welcome to The Boba Fett Fan Club boards. I think you bring up some great points. About preserving the pre-SE Fett, that's what we're here for. You can find video clips of the pre-DVD SE here at BobaFett.com.
