Don voiced #BobaFett in the 1985 Droids cartoon – the only episode with Fett – which has been officially on Disney+ since 2021

It's also widely believed that Don Francks also voiced Fett in the 1978 Holiday Special, although the role was uncredited

Star Wars Holiday Special

Don Francks

Earlier this week we learned that Don Francks, the voice of #BobaFett in the #StarWars Holiday Special, passed away.

Here is our tribute to remember his incredible talent, providing the very first voice of the character we all know and love. He also did the voice of Fett in the "Droids" cartoon in 1985.

Don was born February 28, 1932. He was 84 years old.

#ThisDayInHistory: #BobaFett appeared in the #StarWars Droids animated series.

The fourth episode in the series originally aired on September 28, 1985. "A Race to the Finish" was written by Peter Sauder and Steven Wright. The voice for Boba Fett was done by Don Francks (but once thought to be George Buza due to a misprint in a magazine). For more trivia, see http://bobafett.com/fettpedia/Droids

#ThisDayInHistory: On September 28th in 1985, #BobaFett appears in the "Droids" animated series. The episode was called "The Trigon One: A Race to the Finish" and has yet to be officially released on Blu-ray or DVD.

While George Buza was once credited (incorrectly) as doing the voice, it's now known that the man to speak the lines was Don Francks, who also did Fett in the "Holiday Special."

#ThrowbackThursday: the vintage animated television series "Droids" included one episode with #BobaFett back in 1985 called "A Race to the Finish."

Boba Fett was voiced by Don Francks (not George Buza). The episode was directed by Raymond Jafelice and written by both Peter Sauder and Steven Wright. It was made by Nelvana, the same studio who did the "#StarWars Holiday Special" animated debut of Boba Fett in 1978.
