During Star Wars Celebration Japan at the weekend, creative director Dave Filoni shared a new deleted scene from his Clone Wars series.
The scene features a young Boba Fett on the run from none other than Anakin Skywalker and a pretty cool chase scene takes place through the streets of Coruscant.
While the scene seems of little note at first glance, it actually shows us a few things – firstly, this is still a young Boba, barely in his teens, and he’s holding his own against Anakin, one of the Council’s greatest Jedi warriors. He is, of course, doing this with the aid of his Mandalorian equipment which, let’s not forget, was created to stop Jedi.

The other thing worth noting is Anakin reporting back to Mace Windu, meaning this probably was part of the over-arching story that saw Boba going after Windu for the murder of his father.
Oh, and it’s funny to see Boba wrap Anakin in cable just like he did Luke many years later on Tatooine.
Anyway, enjoy the clip and ponder, like I am, just how much Clone Wars goodness there is in a vaut somewhere just waiting for us to see?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
