#ThrowbackThursday: "Empire" production designer Norman Reynolds drew this blueprint, entitled "Supertrooper II (Prototype Mockup)" in May 1978. This all-white supertrooper would later become #BobaFett.

This helmet sketch was included in J. W. Rinzler's "Star Wars: The Blueprints" from 2013, which is a premium coffee table book for the most serious fans. You can still get it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1WrcLTJ

#TriviaTuesday: Remember the surprise of seeing #JodoKast unmasked by #BobaFett?

This panel comes from the game-changing comic "Twin Engines of Destruction," which originally was published in four issues of a now-defunct #StarWars Galaxy Magazine from Topps. As you may know, Jodo Kast was a competing bounty hunter who pretended to be Boba Fett -- to whomever was paying the bounty. The comic was written by Andy Mangels, who also coined the name Jaster Mereel, which was since change up after the prequels, and even since has been coined a "legend." #
