 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

 Jon Favreau

"It's about a bounty hunter, after Return of the Jedi... It's all new characters... I'm actually writing part of the second season now."

Jon Favreau spoke about his Disney+ series, #TheMandalorian, with Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 11th.

Bonus: Before Jon showed his "Boba Feet" Stance socks, which was awesome, Jimmy said Boba Fett was a Mandalorian -- but in the current canon this is not correct, as he just wears Mandalorian armor. Jimmy also says "may he rest in peace," but also in the current canon he's neither dead nor alive.

Season 2 for the show was already confirmed by Fantha Tracks, who spoke with Lucasfilm's Doug Chiang who first let the news out on day one of Celebration Chicago (April 12th).

 Princess Leia

 Luke Skywalker

#FettFriday: No #AprilFools joke here -- this is Leia and Luke both saying "#BobaFett" aloud in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Needless to say, this moment was cut from the final film, leaving it until "Jedi" for the bounty hunter to be named aloud on screen -- aside from the "Holiday Special" in 1978 and "E.T." in 1982.

To see the whole thing, you'll need Bonus Disc 2 from the #StarWars "Complete Saga" Blu-ray set, which is available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1MFG9l0.

(Helmet nod to Marcelo Zuniga on YouTube for amending the raw footage with music to feel more like the final film. We also dialed down a loud buzzing sound effect in this excerpt.)

 Ralph McQuarrie

#FettFriday: "I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said, 'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit -- rockets and so forth -- to defend himself with.'" -- The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (April 2007)
