 The Mandalorian

On this day in 2020, #TheMandalorian Chapter 15 (Season 2 Episode 7) premiered featuring #BobaFett moments like these

In case you missed it, in the shot of "re-armored" Boba Fett from behind, you can clearly see he had an additional, all-black kill stripe on his helmet; Hasbro's toy helmet version included that detail, which disappeared for some reason in #TheBookOfBobaFett

 Slave I

The new 593 piece LEGO set retails for $49.99 but has shown up ahead of the August 1 street date already at Costco for just $38.99

In case you missed it, the alternative name isn't just a LEGO thing – it's one of actually several new official products using the name "#BobaFett's Starship" (or "Boba Fett's Starfighter") instead of Slave I ... even the official #StarWars databank changed its web address and the text description wiped *almost* every prior mention of the original name

For more on all the changes, we tracked them down last month: https://bobafett.club/starship

 The Mandalorian

In #TheMandalorian, it sure looks like "re-armored" #BobaFett has a 19th kill stripe that's black in the back

In his previous "Return of the Jedi" look, even with Sarlacc damage, there were 18

ICYMI: Disney added "In Memory of #JeremyBulloch" back around 12/31 or so to the credits of the Season 2 finale for #TheMandalorian.

The original actor to play #BobaFett passed away the day before the episode aired. We miss him dearly.

Nicely done, Disney. Nicely done.

"Pitted and pocked, as if with some kind of acid. ... The Mandalorians knew how to make armor, didn't they. ... 'Been through hell and back.'"

"[A]ll-too-familiar Mandalorian armor. 'Is it even real Mandalorian armor? Looks like something hammered out on a swindler's forge.'"

Descriptions of #BobaFett's post-Sarlacc armor worn by #CobbVanth, now seen in Chapter 9 (Season 2 Episode 1) of #TheMandalorian, here as originally written in vague yet "familiar" terms in #StarWars: Aftermath (2015) and #StarWars: Aftermath: Empire's End (2017) respectively by Chuck Wendig.

 Star Wars Holiday Special

#ThisDayInHistory: #BobaFett made his animated debut in the #StarWars Holiday Special, which aired on this day in 1978 on CBS.

Normally seen on bootleg VHS copies, Lucasfilm included the cartoon segment of the television special as a bonus feature for the "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" Blu-ray release in 2011. Don Francks is uncredited but believed to be the voice of Boba Fett.

For more trivia and transcripts, see our Fettpedia entry at http://bobafett.com/fettpedia/Star_Wars_Holiday_Special

(Correction: We originally said the 2005 Blu-ray release, which is incorrect and doesn't exist. It's the 2011 Blu-ray release that has this bonus footage.)

 Andy Mangels

While #BobaFett used aliases like #SarlaccFood and #SavaBrecMadak in the 1996 comic strip "Twin Engines of Destruction," Andy Mangels first coined the name of "Jaster Mereel" in relation to #BobaFett. In the #ExpandedUniverse, that name was used consistently, although it evolved to mean something and someone else (who was killed off). But that's commonplace. In the short story, "Last Man Standing," published in the 1996 book "Tales of the Bounty Hunters," we have these two great quotes: "One tale tells of Fett being a failed stormtrooper who killed his commanding officer. ... A third account tells of a Journeyman Protector from Concord Dawn named Jaster Mereel who adopted the mask and guise when he was convicted of treason." In this panel from the comic, we can see part of his scars after escaping the #Sarlacc.
