The Boba Fett figure, nicknamed &#8220;Sarlacc goo&#8221; for the paint job effect, is packaged with the RA-7 droid.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The storyline &#8212; written in 1984 by Jo Duffy and illustrated by Ron Frenz, Thomas Palmer, and Tom Mandrake &#8212; has Boba Fett rescued by Jawas in the Tatooine desert. Why is Fett with a droid instead of one of these awesome Jawas? If only the licensing department got in touch with the fans&#8230; they could have sold a lot more of these.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is part of a whole series of &#8220;30th Anniversary&#8221; Star Wars action figures, paired with a classic comic book, re-published by Dark Horse Comics.
