Return of the Jedi

"Return of the Jedi" opened in theaters on this day 41 years ago in 1983

Rare set photo of #BobaFett about to be hit by #HanSolo and you can clearly see the pre-damaged jetpack; they originally filmed a longer scene where it wasn't just a tap on the back that sent it haywire

George Lucas

Return of the Jedi

40 years ago today, "Return of the Jedi" premiered in theaters

George Lucas on the DVD commentary: "[H]ad I known he was going to turn into such a popular character, I probably would've made it a little bit more exciting. Boba Fett was just another one of the minions, another one of the bounty hunters and bad guys. But, he became such a favorite of everybody's. For having such a small part, he had a very large presence. And now that his history has been told in the [prequel] trilogy, it makes it even more of a misstep that we wouldn't make more out of the event of his defeat, because most people don't believe he died anyway. I had contemplated putting in that extra shot in where he climbs out of the hole, but you know I figure that's... it doesn't quite fit in the end."

Return of the Jedi

On this day in 1983, "Return of the Jedi" premiered in theaters

"He was last seen falling into the Sarlacc [and] that's all we know," tweeted Pablo Hidalgo, member of the Lucasfilm Story Group, in 2018; he also coined the notion that #BobaFett is neither dead nor alive (aka #SchrodingersFett), said aloud to the crowd at Star Wars Celebration in 2015

Attack of the Clones

Edwin Natividad

This drawing of #JangoFett, lounging in his Tipoca City quarters, was done by Episode II concept art Edwin Natividad.

According to "#StarWars: The Art of Attack of the Clones," this was done before the script was written. "Lucas didn't like the notion of Kaminoan visitors, so Natividad gave Fett solitude and a smaller apartment. 'I pictured him with his helmet on,' Natividad explained, 'because I didn't want to imply he was human.'"
