For better or worse, it's a joke about geeks. The story is that the characters are having a Halloween party and a neighbor comes by to ask them to shut the blinds because they're bumming everyone out.

You can legally watch "30 Rock" for free, including this episode (Season 4 Episode 5), for a brief period of time at hulu.com/show/44.

Fatcat Studios (aka Jenny Brown) is selling a Kokeshi Boba Fett doll. "This is the bad guy we all love to hate. He is so bad he's good. I got in an elevator once with the guy who played him. I'm so nerdy that I had to tell him how much cool he was in Star Wars. I am not ashamed! Maybe a little." View all of the Star Wars characters.

The doll is only $12, comes with a super-awesome cape, and is available through Etsy.

Update: Also check out the other Kokeshi Boba Fett also on Etsy! Made by artist Craig Galentine a.k.a. Muluc, it's got a different paint job and no cape for $30.

Recently featured in Time Out New York's Public Eye feature was Nathan Stodola, aka Renegade Accordion. Nathan, 26, was interviewed by Time Out and posed in his picture with his accordion and his Boba Fett helmet. Nathan's fandom of Star Wars was clearly expressed in the interview; it's always good to see the Fett Fans representing our favorite bounty hunter.

Check out the whole interview on Time Out New York's site.

Update: You can also fan Renegade Accordion on Facebook and check out the recordings, as well as other photos people have taken of him.

Updated 8/19/2009 – Also check out the ForceCast.net interview with Daniel Logan and Jeremy Bulloch from Chicago Comic Con 2009.

With the news of Boba Fett being in the upcoming live-action Star Wars TV show, we here at The Boba Fett Fan Club sat down with actor Daniel Logan to check up and see how the man who played young Boba in "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" is keeping himself busy as of late.

In the years since AOTC, what other projects have you been working on?

I did a film, called The Legend of Johnny Lingo, just after Star Wars came out. I also did some voice over work in New Zealand. I was the voice of TakaPu, a bird who traveled the Pacific Islands. It was a fun project and still plays in New Zealand to this day. I have also been going to school and taking acting classes here in California.

With all the rumors of Boba Fett being a central character in the live-action Star Wars TV show going around, what have you heard of the show? Also, are you interested in reprising the more mature and darker role of Boba for the show?

I have not heard any more news than anyone else. I would be honored to come back and play Boba Fett again. I do think it is going to be amazing and I am looking forward to seeing it!

What do you hope to see out of Boba Fett as a character in the live-action series? After all, he'll be right around your age in his life as the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter.

I am sure the creative team behind the series will do a great job with Boba Fett, assuming the character is going to be a part of the series. There is a lot more to explore about Boba. If he is part of the series, I am sure many exciting adventures will be seen.

When you're not working, what do you like to do to have fun or relax?

I like to paint and go hiking with my dogs. Near where I live there is a great place to hike that has waterfalls and open expanse to have a great time. I also enjoy playing videos games, they get better and better each year.

Do you still live in New Zealand and travel to all of your appearances or do you live in the States now? If so, is there any major difference?

I now live in southern California. Have been here for almost 7 years now, at least at the time of this interview. There are big differences between the US and New Zealand. First off, there are only about 4 million people in the entire country of New Zealand. Plus southern California is one of the main places for the entertainment business. I love New Zealand and it is a beautiful country with great people. I also love the US, for the same reasons. It is great to be able to go back and forth and experience the best of both countries. If you have not been to New Zealand, try to get there. Great people, great scenic beauties to see and a great time to be had!

You're a familiar face at several science fiction conventions around the world, what is your relationship like with the fan community?

The fans are wonderful! They are so supportive and kind. To this day I am still amazed at how global the fandom of Star Wars is. I have been all over the world thanks to Star Wars and the fans. I really enjoy going to events and meeting people. I hope they feel the same about meeting me! I want to give a huge thanks to all the fans out there. You have made Star Wars what it is today. Without you guys I would not have been a part of something so fantastic as Star Wars.

Do you have any favorite convention moments that stand out in your mind that you'd like to share?

There are so many. But one that stands out is a recent one in France. I was at an event in Cusset, France and it was wonderful. One of my favorite moment from that event was the parade around the town with all the costumed fans. Traffic was stopped and we were driving around all the streets of the town with music playing and people joining in from the street. It was a blast!

Describe to us, if you will, a bit about your relationship with Jeremy Bulloch and Tem Morrison.

Jeremy and Tem are both great guys. I was a fan of Tem’s even before I worked on Star Wars. He was the star of a New Zealand film called “Once Were Warriors.” He played a very nasty guy in that film. But in reality his is one of the nicest and kind people I have met. I had a wonderful time with him during filming and continue to have a great relationship with him to this day.

Jeremy has always been great to appear at events with. We have fun together and I love going on stage with him. He has been a mentor to me. Jeremy is so good with fans and I really respect him for his good nature.

Both Jeremy and Tem are good friends and I respect both of them very much.

Do you get into or have you read any of the Expanded Universe comics or books about Boba Fett, especially those written by Karen Traviss?

I did read the young Boba Fett from Scholastic series. I really liked them. However, I was sad to find out Boba had to throw his aquatic pet into the Kamino ocean, only to see it get eaten by a bigger animal. I do want to read some of the other Boba Fett stories. I am sure they are fascinating! Any suggestions?

Lastly, is there a website for you or do you keep a blog updated with projects or things you have going on that fans can check out?

Yes, I have a blog on starwars.com, http://blogs.starwars.com/daniellogan. It has been a while since I posted, but I will be on there more often. Feel free to stop by.

Thanks for talking to us, I know everyone will enjoy it especially with all the huge news at Comic Con that was announced. Hope your trip to London and San Diego was fun, take it easy!

Thanks for taking the time to read my interview and thanks to therealmccoy and the other great staff at bobafett.com for asking me to do the interview. Take care and may the Force be with you all!

Stay tuned at BFFC for updates on the new TV show.

Besides her writing, her most predominant work within the Star Wars universe has been about the fictional culture of the Mandalorians. To Fett fans, we know the Mandalorians as the group of mercenaries lead by Jaster Mereel that rescued a young Jango Fett from the evil Vizsla on Concord Dawn. Karen, working with colleagues and fans alike, has not only detailed the training of Jango Fett's clone warriors on Kamino under Kal Skirata, but also continued the story of Boba Fett and his shattered family during the second Galactic Civil War. Throughout her works, Karen has even developed a working spoken language called mando'a. The language, which can be viewed in spreadsheet form on her website, is used by countless "fandalorians" throughout the world.

This news about Karen, known to fans as KT or Ka'buir in mando'a, is the topic of much debate among many Mando fans, where speculation about her departure because of canon issues is taking center stage.

Sue Rostoni, Executive Editor and Fiction & Comic Editor at Lucas Licensing, had this to say on her blog:

"I just read Karen's blog — and can't reply to the posts because it's Saturday and I don't have the whole story. Still, I knew there were issues with the Boba Fett title, so I imagine it will be canceled. This doesn't mean that you won't be reading about Boba Fett — He's a major character.

The new chronological issues that the animated series have brought up: Leland is working on mitigating the impact on old and new fiction, but until the TV series is completely finished, he won't know the extent of what he has to work with. None of this is new information –

I like Karen's writing, too. She's a very strong and passionate author."

TheForce.Net later reported that continuity issues appeared between KT's original work and new information about the "Clone Wars" animated series released with a new visual guide book to the show.

According to Karen:

"The canon is beyond my control, because that's the very nature of tie-in work. But that still left me with some personal choices I had to make. I could try to make the retcons. Or I could switch to different SW books that weren't affected by these changes. Or I could decide to call it a day – I had a great run, but I had an increasing amount of non-SW work to get on with that was more important to my business."

She continued the following day by adding:

"I've had a good innings and it was time to step aside and let someone else have some fun. Like I've said to quite a few fans who've mailed me today, I'm just a tie-in writer – I'm not an employee and I don't own the copyright. I was just hired to write a few books within a much bigger story from time to time, that's all. Star Wars was running for nearly 30 years before I showed up there, and it'll probably still be being going 30 years after I'm dead. I'm replaceable and I'm not special. There are a hundred who could take my place tomorrow. I'm genuinely amazed and taken aback by the volume of e-mails I've had and the lovely things fans have said in them. I really didn't know people felt that strongly about me, and it's been genuinely moving to find out that they do. SW fans are good people. My life is far richer for knowing you all."

What happens next for Mandalorians is yet unknown. Traviss was scheduled to write a new stand-alone Boba Fett novel next year, but that has apparently been canceled. Who will pick up the Mando-torch and run with it next? If Season 2 of "Clone Wars" and the upcoming issues of Star Wars: Legacy comics are any indication, Mandalorians aren't going anywhere. If anything, we are just getting started.

Oya!

Among the announcements at this year's San Diego Comic Con was one about the Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition featuring a boss fight between Vader's former apprentice, now "The Utimate Evil", and Boba Fett!

From LucasArts:

Available this Fall via direct download from the Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and the PlayStation®Network, this new downloadable mission continues the story of The Force Unleashed in a new "Infinities" storyline that takes the Star Wars Saga in an entirely new and unexpected direction.The mission begins at the end of the story of The Force Unleashed and re-imagines the Star Wars Saga as if the Secret Apprentice had killed Darth Vader and taken his place at the Emperor's side, becoming the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe. The story picks up as the Emperor sends his new apprentice to the planet Tatooine to dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi — who has been hiding on the planet ever since the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. During their hunt for the reclusive Jedi, players will also explore the depths of Jabba the Hutt's palace and encounter notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett.

LucasArts also recently released a stand-alone costume pack which includes Jango Fett!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was released in late 2008, and has since become a worldwide hit. The game completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice,” unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of this mysterious new character armed with unprecedented powers.

More information about the game can be found at the official website, www.theforceunleashed.com.

Also, Bryan Young (Examiner.com and BigShinyRobot.com) says Boba Fett will also be in season 2.

Updated 7/26 11:45pm: The Hollywood Reporter notes "As reported in the panel session, the series is getting darker and more violent in season two. … [T]he supervising director told fans Boba Fett will be in this season, though I'm not sure if the helmeted Mandalorian guy in the trailer is him or not … just texted the LucasFilm PR rep, and he replied with "No comment!" — hmm…"
