Trivia

  • The scene was filmed December 6, 1994 – years before the film was finished.

  • While it may appear Boba Fett looks right to the camera, according to the actor, that wasn't the intention.

  • The armor that Boba Fett wears is his Return of the Jedi armor with his The Empire Strikes Back helmet because those items were available at Lucasfilm Archives.

  • The shoulder armor is reversed. In this angle, we should see the Mythosaur skull, but it's on the other arm.
