Remembering the late Alan Harris (1938-2020) on his birthday today

Alan modeled the Prototype #BobaFett costume (later worn by Duwayne Dunham) including a test of the flamethrower attachment

He also played Bossk in "Empire" among other characters, including being the body mold for Han Solo in carbonite

 The Empire Strikes Back

 Jeremy Bulloch

"On April 10 [1979] ... Jeremy Bulloch had his first day on camera in scene 380, transporting Han Solo in carbonite and shooting at Luke Skywalker. 'I remember the director saying to me before we started, 'This character has to be a very cool customer. Imagine you’re walking down the street in a Western town. He's quick, but stealthy.'" – The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

 Alan Harris

Remembering the late Alan Harris today on the anniversary of his passing in 2020

For a costume fitting in 1978, he wore the all-white prototype #BobaFett costume, but also played Bossk and a Bespin Security Guard on screen in "The Empire Strikes Back" – one of the ones pushing Han Solo in carbonite down the hallway

 Jeremy Bulloch

Before the cameras rolled on #BobaFett actor Jeremy Bulloch in "Return of the Jedi" (shown top center in a candid moment circa 1982), at least three other stand-ins were on set in his place: Quentin Pierre, Roy Beck, and Jack Dearlove

As noted on various call sheets for the original film, well documented when they go up for auction by Prop Store, these actors were stand-ins for several characters and even on screen, like Quentin was one of the Bespin guards escorting Solo in Carbonite for Fett in "Empire"

It's unknown if any of them suited up for camera or lighting tests, but nice to appreciate their role in production history

 Alan Harris

Today we remember the birthday of Alan Harris, who wore the Prototype #BobaFett costume for an early test circa 1978.

While he passed away earlier this year, we also celebrate his on-screen role as Bossk, as well as one of the Bespin guards alongside Han Solo in Carbonite behind Boba Fett.

 Slave I

This Amazon exclusive "Empire" Slave I from 2013 originally retailed for $70 and dipped as low as $35 that holiday season. It's now common to find for 3x or more retail price in mint condition.

The ship was a re-paint of an earlier "The Clone Wars" Slave I from 2010 and the Han Solo in Carbonite was a re-paint of the "The Saga Collection" version from 2006. A #BobaFett figure was not included in the box. "The Vintage Collection" intentionally had packaging to resemble the original look from 1980 with some slight changes.

 The Simpsons

Back in 2008, we would be talking about last night's episode of #TheSimpsons, where #BobaFett freezes 'em in carbonite.

This opening sequence aired September 28, 2008. We've looped it a few times so you can really enjoy it.

Season 20 Episode 1 (#421) was directed by Lance Kramer and written by Kevin Curran.
