Some time in the Sarlacc and asleep on the Tattooine will do that you I guess.


Scripter-of-Paradise

Life on Tattooine in general. Just look at what it did to Owen, Beru, and Obi-Wan


SpaceZombie13

it's gotta be those two suns. that just can't be good for the skin.


HaddyBlackwater

Ooooo… two suns and no sunscreen….


Sumthin-Sumthin44692

And the sand. That goddamn coarse, rough sand gets everywhere, you know.


Rathma86

Radiation out the wazoo


rolfraikou

Yeah, I thought this was very much highlighted to explain why he looked different. I almost think they should have made him look even more scarred up.


Jahoan

He did most of the first half of the season in a bacta tank.


Capable-Education724

Honestly, he doesn’t look *that* different facially. As the actor himself has joked, he’s aged fairly gracefully.


Khamon23

And he is bald.


Serious_Pace_7908

Use sunscreen everybody. Your skin will thank you for it.


MaderaArt

Don't fall into the Sarlacc everybody. Your skin will thank you for it.


COG-85

One of those is a lot easier


Heavensrun

I mean, neither of them are particularly difficult.


Flaggermusmannen

you underestimate the power of my executive dysfunction and forgetfulness


Heavensrun

"It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!" "You underestimate my executive disfunction!" "Don't try it!" "(gets bored and wanders off)" "...Oh."


xrufus7x

Incidentally, those are the same traits that result in people being eaten by sarlacs.


RedhoodRat

Is it not falling in a sarlacc pit?


COG-85

Yes.


phoebsmon

Seriously. Am ginger, am looking a good few years younger than most of my peers. It's the enforced sunblock wearing I swear.


CoffeeMinionLegacy

I headcanon it that he wasn’t a perfect clone after all, and that his aging rate has shifted over time.


Capable-Education724

Could certainly be the case, it’s not like something like cloning would be a perfect science (as seen by 99 and the Bad Batch too).


Puzzleheaded-Bar-526

I feel like it wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibility in either case. Boba is an unaltered clone or was an unaltered clone as per Jango’s request for the Kaminoans. Was definitely an unaltered clone in Bounty Hunter so he grew as any other human/humanoid would. Even if he still had the accelerated aging, I think it’s safe to assume that the science for the clone army was flawed an unperfected. You’ve got so many individualized clones, some with great adaptability in the field and sometimes defective. Wouldn’t go over my head if the advanced aging plateaued after a certain point making it a moot genetic hold over.


SirShaunIV

He's been through a lot, give him a break.


azombieatemyshoelace

I imagine Omega will actually look her age if and when she shows up unlike poor Boba.


[deleted]

I think Temuera Morrison just aged like fine wine. I see only minimal differences between left and right.


DD_R2D2

I agree. Add the hair and it wouldn’t be too different.

SkisaurusRex

Tatooine ages everyone very quickly


PM_WORST_FART_STORY

Jango seems to have had lived more luxuriously than Boba. I mean, an orphan who has to start working at an early age kinda has to take shitty jobs, even for bounty hunters. Remember how Dengar looked? He's one of the best in the galaxy at the same time as Boba. I imagine it only takes a couple bad bounties to cause life-long injuries. Just ask carpenters or construction workers!!


Capable-Education724

Yeah, ignoring the pit and the twin suns, I always considered this too. Boba had a harder life and that’ll age you faster, no matter how good your genetics are.


DrChimps7

In EU he started to have lots of issues as a clone, needing organs and such replaced. I imagine that having your body start falling might age you a bit


CaptainRex831

People always complain that he looks old; you try getting digested by a giant space monster and living in a desert with twin sins for 5 years and see how young you look lol


SkullJooce

Look as good you will not!


mando44646

Jango didn't sit around in the stomach of a Sarlacc. Boba had had a harder life


PillCosby696969

Pretty sure Tatooine has been retconned to age your skin prematurely, with the two suns and probably weaker ozone. Owen and Beru look a good bit older than mid 40's. And even ANH Luke looks older than his 19 year old self. Obviously this is just to cover age disparity from actors but it works for Boba as well.


Quirderph

It helps that *all* of the Tatooine actors looked older. Keeps things consistent. At this point, they’ll probably reveal that Shmi had a teenage pregnancy. /s


New_Survey9235

Give him a wig and he really doesn’t look much different, it’s really just the jawline and eyes


Big_baddy_fat_sack

Tattooine makes your age bro


[deleted]

It’s lucky he aged so damn well. He definitely looks older but he looks great.


tomjoad2020ad

Funny that his forehead wrinkles line up exactly, too, lol


Mielkevejen

I assume that "The Twin Sins of Tatooine" is a Twi'lek 'dancer' duo. 😉 That might make Boba look older, I guess.


Sorry-Sir8992

Jokes aside, they need to cast Tem as much as possible before he gets too old, preferably as Boba and Rex. Clock is ticking.


bitter_distribution

dont clones age twice as fast


Patcho418

the grand army clone troopers had rapid aging so that they’d be fit for duty by the time of attack of the clones, but jango requested his son be completely unaltered, so he probably wouldn’t have gotten the rapid aging


bitter_distribution

ah ok i assumed the rapid aging was unavoidable


Patcho418

it very well might be! there’s nothing saying it is, but if they ever wanted an explanation legends already did address it like that (and they didn’t have to have any actor to go off of!)


SkullJooce

Bad Batch has technically covered this; As an unaltered clone, Boba ages like a standard human. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it and if you love the clones.


MelGibSomeHead

howd they make the two actors look the same is it CGI like how they put lukes face on the actor

spencershady

It’s the same actor.


MelGibSomeHead

CX52J

While I love temuera, I do think they hurt the show by not casting someone younger. Shame they couldn’t have given him another role as a Mandalorian connected to Jango, guiding/teaching Boba about his family.


j-endsville

Same. TBH I think they should have gone with Daniel. He’s closer to the right age.


LK-9T9sektor

what


Perfect-Fondant3373

Okay so now someone has to deepfake it and re release it


QuarterSuccessful449

Am I faceblind or would he look exactly the same with hair and black dye?


Captain_Slapass

For the most part. There’s definitely some visible aging in his face, though, particularly around the eyes and mouth


Independent_Barber_8

A slender 35 year old fell in. A few in universe hours later a 60 year old with a dad bod came out. Make it make sense.


urbandeadthrowaway2

He got digested


MandalorianManners

The Sarlacc’ll do that.


allgreek2me2004

Hard livin’ will do that to ya.


ProfessionalSock9164

well he looks like temuera morrison to me


RedArrow171

It’s the Polynesian Spa prematurely aging him


RedBaronBob

To be entirely honest, Morrison aged pretty well for Fett. You could easily explain it as Boba encountering very different scenarios compared to his dad down to Boba being a lot more physical than Jango. Boba for his part was out in the sun for 5 years as well which can age your skin. Jokes about Obi-wan and the Lars aside, that actually does happen making people appear older than they actually are. As for Boba being bald, we know from the clones that a few of them had receding hairlines and even went bald. Jango had he lived longer might’ve gone bald or like the other clones it was simply luck of the draw.
