ROTJ:SE Boba Fett uses the "Return of the Jedi" costume but with the "Empire Strikes Back" helmet and the "Return of the Jedi" stunt jetpack.
Dented helmet
Same as the "Empire Strikes Back" hero helmet, but with a large crack on the side plus touch-up paint
Uses stunt armor which lacks an extra dent on the right chest armor, otherwise only seen on the ROTJ hero armor
Same shoulder symbol as the "Return of the Jedi" hero armor
Same shoulder armor as the "Return of the Jedi" hero costume
Olive green cape (made from a U.S. military half shelter tent) off his left shoulder
Same synthetic braids from "The Empire Strikes Back," not from ROTJ
They used one of the damaged "stunt" jetpacks in the scene with Jabba's dancers

None during filming, but at least three photo shoots with this costume show either no tools, two Anti-Security Blades, or copies of all four tools.
