It’s part of the Lucasfilm canon, yes! It’s from the Scum and Villainy in-universe book (as in, it’s written from the perspective of the Divo family, that cop Tan Divo we saw in The Clone Wars) book, where Mace argued for leniency with Boba and the Judiciary branch was like “lol fuck no”:

ANYWAY MACE WINDU DID NOT SEND BOBA TO ADULT JAIL, HE ARGUED FOR LENIENCY AND REHABILITATION INSTEAD, WE STAN MACE WINDU ON THIS BLOG
Oh I never knew this. This is really interesting to know actually.
Ok so I was stuck thinking about how Boba probably had to step over hundreds of corpses that looked exactly like his father right after watching him get beheaded and it ruined my day so here you go
Jango was a father to thousands, but he wanted a son that was not altered to be obedient. He wanted him to have his own personality and his ability to be self-sufficient.
New Zealand actor Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett in Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clone, will play that bounty hunter’s son, Boba Fett in the second season of Disney+ The Mandalorian. Morrison is no stranger to the Fett family having played both Jango and Boba in the Star Wars videogames. Reports are that the Boba Fett role…
This upcoming Boba Fett movie, it NEEDS to have both Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan in it! They should’ve been trending the second the news was announced! Consider: Morrison could play both flashback-Jango and older-Boba and Logan could play both young Jango (if needed) and in-his-prime Boba. Daniel Logan looks like this now, i.e. amazing. Temuera Morrison is a damn good, award-winning actor; Daniel Logan was a great actor at 14 so imagine what he’s like now. Why would any writer/director/producer pass up this opportuniiiiiiiiiity
People really out here asking for a Boba Fett Movie…
Potentially the first Maori-led Star Wars film? Potentially a whole new outing for either Daniel Logan or Temuera Morrison (or both?) Potentially the chance to start a new, non-white-dominated sci-fi franchise?
Potentially the first ever Star Wars film to have a character of colour as its title character?
In 2002, Star Wars fans learned that fan favorite bounty hunter character Boba Fett was actually a person of color under that distinctive green helmet. Young Boba Fett was played by actor Daniel Logan, who is of Maori descent. Fans also learned that Fett was a clone of Jango Fett, a character played by Temuera Morrison, who is also of Maori descent. Presumably, the adult Boba Fett would grow up to look exactly like Morrison.
(Logan is depicted in the above images as a young kid in Episode II and dressed up in Boba Fett’s armor in a fan photoshoot.)
This week, Disney announced plans to produce a new Star Wars movie featuring Boba Fett as the central character. If the casting for this character remains consistent and is not whitewashed, this Boba Fett film will be one of the most high profile Hollywood lead roles for a Maori actor, ever.
