#TheBookOfBobaFett costume designer Shawna Trpcic – nominated for an Emmy for her work on the show – recently shared how she achieved this "post-Sarlacc" #BobaFett look: "For this scene I used my kids formula for making slime to rub all over Boba's armor to make the sand stick AND keep to paint job underneath protected"

You can also see in this still that Fett's rangefinder is missing, so surely it was all added digitally to complete the shot

 The Mandalorian

The work done on Temuera Morrison as #BobaFett in #TheMandalorian (plus other characters) has a "Best Special Make-Up Effects" nomination in the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylist Guild Awards next month

Samantha Ward, one of the show's makeup artists, had this trivia to share: "The creatives did not want to see typical burn scars and kept focusing on an 'acid burned bleached' quality to the skin, because of the Sarlacc's digestive acids. The final look utilized multiple pieces of Op-Site medical tape to create sections of textureless patches with highly wrinkled edges. Fourteen various scar and burn scar prosthetic transfers were placed all around Tem's head. Both Brian Sipe and Alexei Dmitriew spatter washy layers of Ghastly, Cool Tone and "Co-Oliv_Ice" (a custom mix that Brian makes of Cool Tone / Olive Adjuster / Rice Paper) tattoo paints from Skin Illustrator over the scars, and lightly over the whole head. This would reduce or kill any cheery warmth his natural skin tone had. More Cool Tone, Pastel Yellow and a Light Sienna striations were used to enhance and and create a unique quality to the scar tissued skin."

#FettFriday: Fett's Sarlacc-proof helmet!

This is a rare Polaroid photo of #BobaFett's stunt helmet, care of ILM's Ira Keeler, in an unpainted state.

The 501st Legion's Golden Gate Garrison captured and shared an interview yesterday with the legendary special effects artist in a video shared on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0chd8qqFAns

Ira describes how the entire Boba Fett costume was made of this kind of kitchen-style rubber for the scene where Fett falls into the Sarlacc Pit.

When Ira ponders the name of a colleague from the production, he's surely referring to Glenn Randall Jr., who also wore the Boba Fett costume for some of the stunts, along with Dickey Beer and Bob Yerkes.

#MandalorianMonday: Is that Boba Fett's armor post-Sarlacc in "Star Wars: Aftermath?" http://j.mp/1NcTDSU

Most of us imagine (or remember reading) #BobaFett escaping the Sarlacc. This is not confirmed yet in the new #StarWars canon. The brand-new book "Aftermath" drops a hint with "picked and pocked" #Mandalorian armor that's "been through hell" being found at the right place and right time -- just missing its owner.

#ThrowbackThursday: #BobaFett stuntman with "Jedi" director Richard Marquand. The man behind the mask here was either Dickey Beer or Glenn Randall Jr., the two on-location stuntmen for Fett in Yuma, Arizona regarding the film work with Jabba's Sail Barge and the Sarlacc.

Shown here is a shot from the Sarlacc scene, and then him unmasked behind the scenes during the filming in Yuma, Arizona. The final sequence also involved two other stuntmen: Dickey Beer and Bob Yerkes.

#ThrowbackThursday: Sarlacc Food No More. In case you missed it, yesterday J.W. Rinzler (Lucasfilm's historian) confirmed that George Lucas does indeed believe #BobaFett survived the Sarlacc.

While we've had no less than five Sarlacc "survivor" storylines, after Disney bought Lucasfilm, all of these Expanded Universe ideas were officially tossed aside. Yesterday's public declaration on Rinzler's Reddit AMA is only the second time Lucas has said Fett lives, after many times saying Fett dies. And this time it wasn't just a hot mic picking up Lucas like at the 2012 Star Wars Celebration VI convention.

 Bob Yerkes

#ThrowbackThursday: Bob Yerkes was one of 3 stuntmen to play #BobaFett in #StarWars #ReturnOfTheJedi. The word on the street is that Yerkes was just needed for a close-up of the Skiff shots (in Yerkes own backyard no less), whereas the other two stuntmen worked in Yuma, Arizona for the larger shots with the #Sarlacc Pit.

 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.

 Sarlacc

If the #ExpandedUniverse is out, we could still see #BobaFett escape the Sarlacc. The official storyline just won't mirror the variety of versions already: #Jawas, #Dengar, and/or being "simply indigestible." If the official word on the street is that the jetpack-clad bounty hunter is still officially down in the pit after this #ReturnOfTheJedi moment -- pictured here in a painting by Dave Dorman -- it could also mean that 1) he's not necessarily dead and 2) he could escape in one of the new Disney/Lucasfilm films. What do you think?

For more about George Lucas' opinion on whether or not Boba Fett is alive or dead, see how it's waivered over the years but ends up now in the "alive" column:

In Star Wars #81, #BobaFett flew right out of the #Sarlacc -- right after the "burp" and right before being found by #Jawas and suffering from memory loss! This panel features #illustration by Ron Frenz, Thomas Palmer, and Tom Mandrake. The #comic was written by Jo Duffy, published by #Marvel, and released in 1984.

"The apparently indigestible #BobaFett at the mouth of the #Sarlacc pit." This artwork by illustrator Rick Buckler was included in the Topps #StarWars Galaxy 3 series as #347, part of their "New Visions" sub-set in 1995. The work was also featured on the cover of Davis Anthony Kraft's Comics Interview "Super Special" Magazine released during the same year.
