"Jedi" Boba Fett
1983
Compared to "Empire," the more dirty and colorful version.
It's known that Sandy Dhuyvetter was involved with the hero helmet.
One of the stunt jetpacks is also known to have a lightsaber slash in the back, which is from unused footage that never made it into the film.
There are also two stunt Boba Fett helmets, which have simpler paint jobs.
The helmets are kept at Lucasfilm Archives.
