"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

Penned in verse, would you give Ian Doescher’s 2015 book "William Shakespeare's The Clone Army Attacketh: Star Wars Part the Second" a try?

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

"Although #BobaFett is a very experienced bounty hunter, he's not experienced at running a criminal syndicate or managing forces. He's not normally a newcomer. He's an expert as we see him in most areas. But in this case, he's trying to transition to another position." – Jon Favreau

"We'll see a lot more of (Boba's) true character in this season. And you'll definitely see him have to turn 'barbarian mode.'" – Robert Rodriguez

Born on this day in 1920, Jason Wingreen did #BobaFett's original theatrical voice for "The Empire Strikes Back" just like that

His voice was replaced in the 2004 DVD release and onward presumably in favor of prequel continuity

The accomplished "All in the Family" actor, who passed away in 2015, had this quote published in Star Wars Insider #49 (2000)

On October 1, 1996, the final issue of #StarWars: Shadows of the Empire was published by Dark Horse Comics, featuring this outro for #BobaFett

To be determined if the virtually identical War of the Bounty Hunters storyline from Marvel – still going on now through October 2021 – will wrap up with this kind of respect for Boba Fett

Yet to be confirmed for sure, the autograph on this #BobaFett photo might be the smoking gun ... literally

Joe wasn't just a stand-in: he played a Snowtrooper and a Stormtrooper in "Empire" and a Gamorrean Guard in "Jedi"

Specifically, he'll be in the "Tatooine Rhapsody" episode made by Studio Colorido (Twin Engine), possibly sporting this look which is a mix-and-match of "Empire" and "Jedi" accessories

Happy birthday Joe Johnston!

"Johnston is #BobaFett's original conceptual designer. He has also been referred to as the 'father' of Boba Fett. Joe designed the colors and helmet for Boba. John Mollo had designed the original suit as the super trooper army of millions, but the production couldn't afford it for 'Empire Strikes Back.' Therefore, Joe made Boba a singular character with the paint job he did on him, including the damaged suit and helmet." – Joe Johnston's website (now offline, quote saved on bobafett.com)

Also, in 1979, the cost to build the Slave I (miniature) was $15,000, which adjusted for today's inflation would be over $50,000.

With retro style packaging this time around (not yet shown in the marketing imagery released yesterday), this one is expected to arrive Q1 or Q2 2021. The fine print on these images also suggests there may be other minor differences to come.

The 2018 one retailed for $267 so this 2021 one may be similarly priced, if not higher.

Helmet nod to Diamond J. Terrence for spotting the difference in the 2018 product description and the 2021 re-pack description.

The giant "Empire Strikes Back" #BobaFett on display at Funko in Hollywood is very impressive to see in person

However, upon closer look, some things are amiss, e.g. the blaster is his "Return of the Jedi" one and his chest armor symbol is completely upside down

The "Pre-Production #2" Fett costume dates back to mid-1978 when the figure had slightly different details like color nuances, brown gloves with circle patterns, and a gauntlet flamethrower, which some fans also saw on the Kenner action figure cardback before his theatrical debut in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Organized by Wasted Fett, this last Saturday was the second stage where members of The Dented Helmet have been donating a screen-accurate "Empire" #BobaFett costume he can call his own.

We also spoke with Daniel about bringing Boba Fett back and how honored he would be to play him again.

Stay tuned for more in the coming months as we share with you more parts to his costume coming together!

#ThisDayInHistory: Ralph McQuarrie would have celebrated his 88th birthday today.

In addition to doing concept art that helped define the look of #BobaFett, one of Ralph's production paintings showcased this look for Cloud City with his ship, Slave I, completed well before "The Empire Strikes Back" went into production. He passed away in 2012. #RIP

"Lando Glared First..." by DouggieDoo

"This is from one of my favorite scenes of the Empire Strikes Back. On Cloud City, Vader is torturing Han from behind closed doors, and hearing the screams outside, Lando and Fett are waiting for Vader to come out. Lando, obviously not happy about what's happening to Han, stares daggers at Fett. I can only imagine Boba's face as his helmet turns slightly to face Lando..." -- Douggie

When and where did you see "Empire" for the very first time?

#SupertrooperSunday: According to "The Making of #StarWars: The Empire Strikes Back" by J. W. Rinzler, Ralph McQuarrie's 13th concept drawing of a supertrooper helmet was made in October 1977. As we all know now, this character eventually evolved into #BobaFett.
