Topic: The evolution of Boba and Jango

I thought it'd be interesting to see what Boba looked like before the standard we know today and what other people think. Personally I got some really cool avatars from it.

first the helmet sketches:

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

Armor and helmet sketches:

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

The armor as a costume:

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

And finally the evolution of Jango Fett:

More on the way.

Nice those are really cool.

Good job on finding those :)

I actually found them on a fan site that got shut down. I have to back track to find it again.

Yeah, those are really cool. I've seen them many times before, though. As you can see, the early Boba has more rockets in his jetpack. Why does he have only one then? :/ A couple of mini-missiles wouldnt hurt.(well maybe Boba's opponent, but....)


TW

He looks like a Tuskan Warlord in that one picture in the armor and helmet sketches, glad they didn't pick that one. But i do kinda like the Gundum looking helmet up top. =P

Yeah, the first helmet looks like a gundam! :P


TW

I don't think so, close though. I'm a real avid Gundam fan, that lookes more like something Kamen Rider

Final Version Boba with head and body sketch:

Is that a sketch of an early IG-88 model in the first pic?

I think so, I'm not sure.

I think that the proto-type armor looks better than the final version. Another factoid for this section is that Ambu Fett and J'mee Fett were planned names for Jango. Jango was setled on because of the Western character D'jango (pronounced Jango) who was also a loner and mercenary.

I think there was also a Zuckuss prototype in there too.


TW

I can't decide on that one, it looks like Zuckuss but I don't think that's who it's supposed to be.

According to Dawn of the Bounty Huntters , the droid is IG-88, and the rest are not for anyone in particular. I would assume they evolved into Zuckuss.

I still think they should have made the armor slightly... more armorish. I mean his legs look like he is wearin a pair of khakis, and his bicep looks totally unprotected.

We actually have a bunch of those on our reference page, in the Multimedia section of the site.

I didn't know where to look exactly on the site.

I did like the fact that they used some of the concpet Fett art later with the clones, in the Clone Wars series.

Like the Jaig Eyes on the helmet and the symbol used for the ARC Trooper pilots:

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

oh cool Sadriel.

And to finish off
Slave 1 cockpit sketch:

Cloud city storyboard idea(the image cuts itself)

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

Jabba's palace storyboard idea:

[NO LONGER ONLINE]

And that's about it,  unless I find the pre production costumes

I had that last pic as my background for a long time

I think that's why the old 80's Empire Strikes Back die-cast Slave 1 toy was white.  Because of that Cloud City escape concept sketch.  I am glad they didn't go with the white color, though.  And also that they went with a more eliptical shape, instead of a complete circle, you know?

It looks like a bowl with a tail and fins. That white concept is ugly. The one we have now is perfect.

yes, the older slave 1's are weird

It's not intuitive? Search and category structures must be over-rated. :P

With all this hotlinking of images off of BobaFettMP.com, especially ones located here, you could also just provide a link. That said, this site would need a lot more visitors to really do some damage, but I'm just pointing it out. ;)

Finally, BFMP wasn't "shut down" by anyone other than Britt, who started it.

Well, as usual I didn't explain enough. Nothing I'm too frustrated about I guess.

I didn't feel like mentioning the fact that the owner of the site decided to closed down, and I didn't look on the site because I already knew where to go and didn't feel like searching. I'm just lazy.
And yes, I should have just provided a link to the site.
