#BobaFett stuntman Louis Friedman

One of four involved in #ReturnOfTheJedi stunts around the Sarlacc, Louis is just in one pick-up shot where Boba Fett is getting up, filmed at a different location also getting Endor shots

You can see how the skiff and shadow varies from the surrounding shot (example shown here), plus it's been confirmed for years now – including our posts here since 2019

#FettFriday: Fett's Sarlacc-proof helmet!

This is a rare Polaroid photo of #BobaFett's stunt helmet, care of ILM's Ira Keeler, in an unpainted state.

The 501st Legion's Golden Gate Garrison captured and shared an interview yesterday with the legendary special effects artist in a video shared on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0chd8qqFAns

Ira describes how the entire Boba Fett costume was made of this kind of kitchen-style rubber for the scene where Fett falls into the Sarlacc Pit.

When Ira ponders the name of a colleague from the production, he's surely referring to Glenn Randall Jr., who also wore the Boba Fett costume for some of the stunts, along with Dickey Beer and Bob Yerkes.
