Jeremy Bulloch

Before the cameras rolled on #BobaFett actor Jeremy Bulloch in "Return of the Jedi" (shown top center in a candid moment circa 1982), at least three other stand-ins were on set in his place: Quentin Pierre, Roy Beck, and Jack Dearlove

As noted on various call sheets for the original film, well documented when they go up for auction by Prop Store, these actors were stand-ins for several characters and even on screen, like Quentin was one of the Bespin guards escorting Solo in Carbonite for Fett in "Empire"

It's unknown if any of them suited up for camera or lighting tests, but nice to appreciate their role in production history

#ThrowbackThursday: Boba Fett visited the Kenner headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio circa 1978/9.

It's believed the photos were taken by Roy Frankenfield, with the flame and space illustration effect added later.

One of the shots was used first for the 1979 Toy Fair Boba Fett carded sample and then later the regular "Empire" Boba Fett release.

Jason was born on this day in 1920. He voiced Fett for the 1980 film. According to one interview, he spent a total of seven minutes to do some different takes before it was all said and done.

In 2015, he passed away. At that time, we put together a longer tribute video to him: https://youtu.be/I4UYzn0KGM0

While the board game ultimately portrays him in Pre-Production #2 inspired armor, Fett's prominent inclusion in the game potentially served as a nod to the character's Hoth-based origins.

When Boussh ups the ante with a thermal detonator, we return to this original camera angle three times in a row but in a "reversed" or "flipped" film negative which maintains an eyeline match with Boushh for the continuity of the edit.

Elliot names all of his #StarWars action figures for his friend from outer space. At 28 minutes and 53 minutes into the film, Fett is mentioned by name. Since the film premiered in 1982, this marked the first time on the theatrical screen we heard the name "Boba Fett." He wasn't mentioned by name in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), but he was in Return of the Jedi (1983).

Jason Wingreen was the original voice of #BobaFett. We just learned he passed away on December 25, 2015. This is our tribute to him.

Anyone who saw "The Empire Strikes Back" in theaters or on VHS/laserdisc between 1980 and 2003 would have heard his lines. After 2004, DVD and Blu-ray releases were re-dubbed to conform to the prequels and used Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett.

Jason was born October 9, 1920. He was interviewed for Star Wars Insider #49 (May/June 2000) in which he shared this story of the role: "My agent called me and said to go over to the recording studio, where I met Gary Kurtz and Irvin Kershner. Normally, you see the face of an actor you're dubbing, so you have to lip-synch. But that was no problem here -- I could say the lines at any time. I got in position, they ran the film a few times, and I said the lines. Kershner came out and made a suggestion or two and went back in the control room, I did it again, and I was finished."

#ThrowbackThursday: Extra scene with #BobaFett & #DarthVader in "Classic #StarWars #20" # * Vader: "A particular Rebel interests me, Boba Fett... Luke Skywalker!"
* Fett: "A companion of the man I'm after... Han Solo! One might lure the other, Lord Vader! Should my fellow bounty hunters succeed... Solo could serve that function before we give him to Jabba!"
* Vader: "You're enterprising, Fett! Perhaps we will meet again... when your enterprise bears fruit!"
* A pleased Boba Fett watches Darth Vader's departure from Ord Mantell... visions of a double reward in his mind

#ThrowbackThursday: Han Solo, #BobaFett, and Princess Leia in Star Wars #81: "Jawas of Doom" (1984)

First, Jawas discover Fett survived the Sarlacc but has amnesia! Then they happen to run into #HanSolo and #PrincessLeia who are looking for R2! As if that wasn't enough, he barely recognized Solo just as he falls back into the pit in an out-of-control Sandcrawler! Now that's entertainment.

The fourth episode in the series originally aired on September 28, 1985. "A Race to the Finish" was written by Peter Sauder and Steven Wright. The voice for Boba Fett was done by Don Francks (but once thought to be George Buza due to a misprint in a magazine). For more trivia, see http://bobafett.com/fettpedia/Droids

#ThrowbackThursday: Do you have an original #BobaFett action figure?

Between 1979 and 1983, the same mold for the figure was available carded and by mail-away (via proofs-of-purchase or Sears). The spring-loaded rocket pack was never produced beyond some small handful of prototypes, while some foreign versions have removable rocket pieces.

There are some noticeable differences between the figures, such as the embossed copyright mark on the leg either noting Hong Kong (light brown belt and visor), Taiwan (medium blue vs. light blue), or simply no country of origin (COO). But there are also some subtle paint and craftsmanship variations between the Kenner (USA), Kenner Tri-Logo (European, e.g. darker brown), Palitoy (UK), Poch/PBP (Spain, e.g. lighter olive green chest armor, brighter red visor and right wrist gauntlet, and deformations on the legs and rocket tip), Lili Ledy (Mexico), and Meccano (France) releases.

Present-day photo of the vintage figure by Skeleton Astronaut, shared with us on our public group on Flickr. Special thanks to @Phu_77 (Instagram) for all the information he's shared to help fact-check this post.

#FettFriday: Joe Johnston's Sketches in the "Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook" (1980)

Excerpt: "While most of the film's costume design originated in England, Ralph McQuarrie and [Joe] Johnston designed the Boba Fett outfit at Industrial Light and Magic in California. The costume was built at EMI in London, and then shipped back to Johnston to be painted. Originally the Boba Fett costume was intended to be worn by a squad of supercommandos, troops from the Mandalore system armed with weapons built into their suits. But the costume was adapted for the Boba Fett character by aging, denting, and adding a colorful paint job to one of these suits, while keeping the wrist lasers, flying backpack, and rocket darts originally intended for the supercommandos." #

#ThisMonthInHistory: Marvel Star Wars #42 was published September 23 yet had a December 1980 date on the top left.

But this first comic book appearance of #BobaFett mirrored the same content in Marvel Comics Super Special #16 (bottom left; dated May 1, 1980), Marvel Illustrated Books: The Empire Strikes Back (top right; dated May 1, 1980), and Marvel Special Edition 2: The Empire Strikes Back (bottom right; dated Spring 1980). To add to the mix, you could include the U.K.'s The Empire Strikes Back Weekly #129 released August 14, 1980.

Oddly enough, despite those copyright dates, those variants contained issues #39-44, which makes us wonder which one really came first after all.

#ThrowbackThursday / #ThrowforwardThursday: Marvel's 2015 Line-up for Fett Looks ... Familiar

This first move for present-day Marvel working with Fett is actually something we've already seen before. It's a re-do of their Star Wars #68 comic from 1983. In fact, this isn't even Boba Fett; it's Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa (two Mandalorians) who make an appearance.

(Correction: it's assumed Boba Fett has a different appearance – on the cover and in the center spread is the same character with Wookiee scalps.)

Here's hoping to something new in 2015.
