Star Wars Spin-Offs: 10 Actors Who Could Play Boba Fett

9. Jack O'Connell

One from the opposite end of the age scale. O€™Connell is only 24, but the winner of BAFTA€™s Rising Star award has proved he has some serious acting chops. Before starring in Unbroken, he made his name as a hard man who can draw sympathy, playing a cocky imprisoned teenager in Starred Up, and a young soldier abandoned by his squad in '71. He€™s undoubtedly a youthful presence on screen, but he excels at playing troubled young men, often with difficult pasts, who seem to be on the path to something darker. He€™d be a fine choice for a Fett struggling to deal with the death of his father and eager to prove himself. At the end of the day, a bounty hunter beats his own path through a difficult and dangerous universe. O€™Connell, who always seems like something of a lone wolf, would be do a great job of showing us Fett€™s first steps down that path.
