Thundercat Makes Acting Debut in Star Wars “Boba Fett” Series

Thundercat has made his acting debut in Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. His previous acting experience is only as the voice of “Grune the Destroyer” in the Cartoon Network series ThunderCats Roar.

Thundercat joins for “Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm” of the Disney+ series. He plays an unnamed body modification artist. In the credits, the character was called “the Modifier”.

The body modification artist acts like a back-alley doctor. In the episode, Boba Fett (played by Temuera Morrison) goes to him to save future ally Fennec Shand’s (played by Ming-Na Wen) life. At first, he does not care, but after learning that she is dying and is given extra credits, he turns around and immediately starts working on her. He does not return for the rest of the episode.

Will Thundercat return?

Thundercat’s character most likely will not appear again. This is because he is a very minor character in a flashback. The only part of the character that can be worth diving more into is his morality. Did he save Fennec because she was dying or was it only because of the money? Or was it a mixture of the two? But even then, this idea is a recurring trend within the show.

The end of the episode even tackles this idea head-on, with Fett saying that the others will not betray him because he is offering a better deal than the rival gang. It does not matter whether they are being moral or self-interested since both options lead back to him.

Thank you, John, Dave, Rob and the family at Disney and Star Wars for giving me a chance, I have loved Star Wars my whole life,” Thundercat shared. “I am happy to be part of its legacy.”

Denzel Curry Teases New Album ‘Melt My Eyez See Your Future’

Denzel Curry will be releasing his new album Melt My Eyez See Your Future later this year.

On Wednesday, January 5th, Denzel announced a new trailer for the album that was released that same day.

This short clip features calming guitar strums alongside more beautiful instrumentation as the clip goes on. Denzel is in the western-themed video walking through a hilly desert. He can be seen where attire that’s very fitting of this old-west aesthetic and a cool new hairstyle. It’ll be exciting to see how it all plays into this new album and its insightful title. Check out the full trailer below:

Features On Denzel’s New Album

Even though we still don’t have an official release date yet, it’s still exciting knowing that Denzel Curry will be releasing his new album Melt My Eyez See Your Future this year. The trailer above does at least reveal what features and collaborations we can expect from the Florida rapper’s upcoming release. At the end of the clip, we can see all the names listed in the end credits.

Notable artists include T-Pain, Thundercat, Rico Nasty, 6LACK, J.I.D., slowthai, Robert Glasper, Kenny Beats & JPEGMAFIA. Many of these artists are people he’s worked with on music in the past, but names like T-Pain and Thundercat stand out & should be interesting features for the album.

Expectations For Melt My Eyez See Your Future

First, I think I speak for many when I say that this does have the potential to be his best album to date. Additionally, there will probably be a lot of topics discussed and updates on his life since the pandemic started shortly after his last release. Denzel is an amazing lyricist & has a great ear for beats, but I’m mainly focused on what subjects will appear on Melt My Eyez See Your Future. The title itself sounds pretty deep and can be interpreted in many ways. Also, the trailer’s mysterious western aesthetic raises a lot of questions itself too.
