 The Empire Strikes Back

 Jeremy Bulloch

"On April 10 [1979] ... Jeremy Bulloch had his first day on camera in scene 380, transporting Han Solo in carbonite and shooting at Luke Skywalker. 'I remember the director saying to me before we started, 'This character has to be a very cool customer. Imagine you’re walking down the street in a Western town. He's quick, but stealthy.'" – The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Remembering the late Alan Harris today on the anniversary of his passing in 2020

For a costume fitting in 1978, he wore the all-white prototype #BobaFett costume, but also played Bossk and a Bespin Security Guard on screen in "The Empire Strikes Back" – one of the ones pushing Han Solo in carbonite down the hallway

"Everyone dies. ... I bow to no one and I give service only for cause." — Jaster Mereel

On this day in 1996, "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" was published, featuring the short story "The Last One Standing" by Daniel Keys Moran, where the old school "legends" story follows #BobaFett's life from his beginnings as Journeyman Jaster Mereel (before that was retconned) to his "final" encounter with Han Solo

 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

 Han Solo

"Return of the Jedi" Weekly #83 was released in the U.K. on this day in 1985, featuring the "Jawas of Doom" cover art by Tom Palmer.

The issue itself doesn't include any Fett fiction: it has parts of Star Wars #91, Star Wars #51, and a few other stories.

"Jawas of Doom" is truly contained in Star Wars #81 and has one of the "legendary" tales of Fett escaping (and falling back into) the Sarlacc.

The ship was a re-paint of an earlier "The Clone Wars" Slave I from 2010 and the Han Solo in Carbonite was a re-paint of the "The Saga Collection" version from 2006. A #BobaFett figure was not included in the box. "The Vintage Collection" intentionally had packaging to resemble the original look from 1980 with some slight changes.

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..."

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.

 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).
