Happy birthday George Lucas!

These rare shots from 1978 feature the "Pre-Pro 1" (aka PP1) version of #BobaFett with Lucas in both angles at Skywalker Ranch; on the right, he is with Kenner's David Okada

At BFFC, you know attribution is important: we confirmed both photos were taken by toy designer Jim Swearingen. The left one is digitally c/o Alex Howard and the right one is digitally c/o Marcus Schröder

Note the "Jaig eyes" painted onto the helmet, which were omitted in the "Pre-Pro 2" (aka PP2) version

We touched up the sharpness, contrast, and saturation in both shots to match better
