#FettFriday: No #AprilFools joke here -- this is Leia and Luke both saying "#BobaFett" aloud in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Needless to say, this moment was cut from the final film, leaving it until "Jedi" for the bounty hunter to be named aloud on screen -- aside from the "Holiday Special" in 1978 and "E.T." in 1982.

To see the whole thing, you'll need Bonus Disc 2 from the #StarWars "Complete Saga" Blu-ray set, which is available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1MFG9l0.

(Helmet nod to Marcelo Zuniga on YouTube for amending the raw footage with music to feel more like the final film. We also dialed down a loud buzzing sound effect in this excerpt.)
