View on Instagram | Facebook | TwitterOn #ThisDayInHistory, Duwayne Dunham wore the #BobaFett costume and introduced some lucky parade attendees in San Anselmo, California to the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy:
"What I remember about that day is it was incredibly hot. I'm not just talking about the suit, I'm saying that day in San Anselmo was really hot. ... Nobody knew about Boba Fett at that point. ... I would imagine that [for] most people seeing the two, they just figured it was a new character aligned with Vader. We were at the front end of the parade; we were leading the whole thing. We just walked side by side down the street. It was a little funny."
