Jaster Mereel appreciation post, seen here in "#JangoFett: Open Seasons #1" (2002)

Fun fact: before the clones retcon in "Attack of the Clones," the name was originally an alias for #BobaFett, first coined by Daniel Keys Moran for "A Barve Like That" in the "Tales from Jabba’s Palace" book and then in "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett" in the "Tales from the Bounty Hunters" book

 Return of the Jedi

Today we remember the birthday of Ralph McQuarrie, whose concept work led to the character of #BobaFett and eventually this "Return of the Jedi" painting in Jabba's Palace

Ralph passed away in 2012, but there was an Easter egg / homage to this very painting in the third episode of #TheBookOfBobaFett

 Sarlacc

What did you think of #BobaFett's live-action Sarlacc escape?

Previously, in print, we had survival stories in Marvel's Star Wars #81 ("Jawas of Doom") in 1983, Dark Empire #4 in 1992, Dark Empire Sourcebook in 1993, Twin Engines of Destruction in 1995/96, Tales from Jabba's Palace in 1995, Tales of the Bounty Hunters in 1996, and the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy in 1998/9 – each of which told a different legend

Stuntmen Larry Holt, who just celebrated a birthday, shown here with Glenn Randall Jr. in costume as #BobaFett on location at the Jabba's Sail Barge set in 1982.

We spoke to Larry at Empire Con in 2019 and he has some fond memories of this shoot, which also involved Dickey Beer wearing the costume for other stunts.

 Lawrence Kasdan

Happy Birthday Lawrence Kasdan!

In the 4th draft (October 24, 1978), one of #BobaFett's lines: "I am in no hurry, Lord Vader. My concern is that Captain Solo not be damaged. The reward from Jabba the Hutt pays double if he's alive." Another one: "But the chamber is for power goods. What if he doesn't survive? This slime is worth a lot to me..." The 6th draft (March 19, 1979) had all the ones we know and love.

 Return of the Jedi

#BobaFett in "Return of the Jedi"

This shot comes during Sy Snootles' solo and before both the flirtation with Jabba's Dancers (in the Special Edition only) and the arrival of Boushh (aka Princess Leia in disguise).

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.

 The Empire Strikes Back

In the 4th and 5th drafts of "The Empire Strikes Back," #BobaFett had a different reply to #DarthVader:

BOBA (a very tough customer): I am in no hurry, Lord Vader. My concern is that Captain Solo not be damaged. The reward from Jabba the Hutt pays double if he's alive.

 Jabba the Hutt

#ThrowbackThursday: #BobaFett appeared on Mos Eisley in Docking Bay 94 for a few moments alongside Jabba the Hutt, Han Solo, and the Millennium Falcon.

Some trivia: Fett's left shoulder is mysteriously missing its usual symbol; the armor colors more so resembles "Jedi" rather than "Empire," even though that would be out of order (unless Fett perhaps carries multiple sets of armor with him in the cargo hold); and, making the rounds again online, this appearance would connect the possibility that Fett actually torched Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, later warranting Darth Vader's comment to Fett later on, "no disintegrations" (this time).

 Return of the Jedi

"Threepio is standing behind the grotesque gangster as he strokes Leia like a pet cat. Several of the guards, including Lando, bring Luke from the other side of the room. Boba is standing behind Jabba." -- Excerpt from the #StarWars Return of the Jedi script written by Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas.
