Three "holy grail" Kenner prototypes, the original Prototype costume blaster, and much more were on display at Rancho Obi-Wan's "#BobaFett to Bo-Katan: The Evolution of the Mandalorians Exhibit" at #StarWars Celebration 2022 last month.

There's still time to order their convention exclusive 27 card set featuring annotated images: https://bobafett.club/91lam (ends June 17 at 11:55pm Pacific)

You can also become a member of Rancho Obi-Wan and you can take a tour of their incredible museum in Petaluma, California.

Not shown here, but the final display was a heartfelt memorial to Jeremy Bulloch, the late actor who originally played Boba Fett in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." They also had the stunt "Return of the Jedi" jetpack on display, used for the shots of him crashing into the barge (by stuntmen Glenn Randall Jr. and/or Dickey Beer).

#BobaFett's "Pre-Production 1" costume originally featured "Jaig" eyes, which then became ears (shown here) by the time it was shown in the 1978 San Anselmo Country Fair Day and Parade

This actually wasn't a screen used costume but it was still an important evolution that helped shape his iconic look in the early years

On this day in 1929, Ralph McQuarrie was born

"I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said, 'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit – rockets and so forth – to defend himself with.'" – The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (2007)

You can still get the 6" deluxe figure with extras at Entertainment Earth (https://bobafett.club/j2lrw) and Walmart (https://bobafett.club/ce3jx) although it quickly sold out at Hasbro Pulse, Amazon, and Target

Costume aficionados like BFFC fan Josh Whitman and Fett4Real's 1313 Studios were quick to note this promotional rendering for this figure follows the "ROTJ: SE" variant rather than the true "ROTJ," although it's still a welcome addition to a very regular use of "ESB" variant in the series

Shown on the sides are the Kenner and the Palitoy tri-logo toys courtesy of Hake's Auctions, with the popular official publicity photo in the middle - a slightly different moment (or the blaster was moved upward?) undoubtedly taken at the same focal length and crop, likely by Ralph Nelson Jr.

Note the smudginess and the super long cape, which on the real costume ends around his knees.

Watch the entire interview: https://youtu.be/hDtHaWSrwpA

The "Pre-Production #2" Fett costume dates back to mid-1978 when the figure had slightly different details like color nuances, brown gloves with circle patterns, and a gauntlet flamethrower, which some fans also saw on the Kenner action figure cardback before his theatrical debut in "The Empire Strikes Back."

#ThisDayInHistory: Ben Burtt, responsible for the sound effects of #BobaFett and his ship, was born on this day in 1948.

"To create the sound for the Slave I, Ben Burtt did what he always did whenever he had to create a sound for a spaceship: look at how the ship was designed, how it looked like, how fast it would move, and what it could do. For the takeoff sound of the Slave I, Burtt combined a trumpet's whine with the horn of his own 1971 Dodge Duster while it was on a desert road." -- StarWars.com

In this clip, he's shown with Duwayne Dunham (left) who wore the Prototype Boba Fett costume for a screen test, hosted by Ben.

On #ThisDayInHistory, Duwayne Dunham wore the #BobaFett costume and introduced some lucky parade attendees in San Anselmo, California to the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy:

"What I remember about that day is it was incredibly hot. I'm not just talking about the suit, I'm saying that day in San Anselmo was really hot. ... Nobody knew about Boba Fett at that point. ... I would imagine that [for] most people seeing the two, they just figured it was a new character aligned with Vader. We were at the front end of the parade; we were leading the whole thing. We just walked side by side down the street. It was a little funny."

In case you missed it, the actor who was inside the #R2D2 costume, Kenny Baker, passed away yesterday.

Here he is shown here with Jeremy Bulloch, the original actor behind #BobaFett, in a shot captured by Gugge Zelander.

On Facebook, Jeremy shared the following: "He was an amazing person who only two weeks ago was greeting fans and signing autographs at LFCC - we will all miss him greatly - what a superstar he was."

Kenny was born August 24, 1934. He was 81 years old.

#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.

As you may know, before Boba Fett had his distinct look for "Empire," his costume evolved from a white supertrooper concept-turned-prototype. Many #StarWars collectibles recently have done this variant look, including a recent Walgreens exclusive (also from Funko) with the all-white Boba Fett.

Chris also shot video of his unboxing -- see http://youtu.be/MTeAWmb7Alo -- which included some digital onlookers like our friends at Yakface.com.

#ThrowbackThursday: #BobaFett photo at Kenner vs. final cardback artwork.

The photo on the left is circa 1978, shot at Kenner with one of the pre-production Fett costumes. This "fireball" cardback first appeared with his action figure debut on a "#StarWars" cardback at the 1979 NYC Toy Fair. Only slight tweaks were made to the fireball effect before the same idea was used for some of the standard "Empire" and "Jedi" cardbacks.

#MandalorianMonday: Sabine, who stars in #StarWarsRebels, has a costume with several nods to #BobaFett.

According to notes shared by director Dave Filoni back in 2014 on StarWars.com, here are some specifics on the #Mandalorian: "The cheeks [in the helmet] lack the cutout like a Bo Katan helmet and are more traditional in shape like Boba Fett's. ... The pants are more of a cargo pants, they call back to original Boba Fett somewhat. They are a bit more snug than Boba's loose fitting pants, but note the baggyness at the knees, so they are not really skin tight." The second season of the show, which will include Darth Vader and others, resumes this Fall.

"The Twelve Parsec Stare" is the latest #BobaFett fan film -- one of at least 73 fan films that fans have made, complete with costumes, sets, or other production value. This new short film was self-produced by Ruined Films, a Finnish production company. They wanted to make a short film that blended sci-fi and Western genres and shot this in a week.

Here's the synopsis: "Boba Fett, the infamous intergalactic bounty hunter, has tracked his next prey into a dusty saloon in the outskirts of a remote space port. In the shadows of the busy space bar the hunter confronts his target's three sinister henchmen. Who will blink first?"

Fun fact about the new game: Electronic Art's Digital Illusions CE (DICE) scanned an actual prop Boba Fett helmet available to them at Lucasfilm Archive, giving the game's promo photos and gameplay craftsmanship even more authenticity.

(Helmet nod to Ponteworks for the fun fact, who's available for top-notch commissions via ponteworks@gmail.com.) #BobaFettFanClub #PhotoOfTheDay #PicOfTheDay

After the latest #ThisIsMadness vote kept #BobaFett in the Sarlacc -- with no recount unless it's trending on Reddit -- we're left with no choice but to switch colors and costumes after over 18 years of carefully curating Boba Fett fandom online. Guess we're not bringing home the bounty, so it's time to carbonite freeze bobafett.com. But, don't worry, we'll keep our head on straight with the new venture: JFFC!

#FettFriday: "I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said, 'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit -- rockets and so forth -- to defend himself with.'" -- The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (April 2007)

#FettFriday: Joe Johnston's Sketches in the "Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook" (1980)

Excerpt: "While most of the film's costume design originated in England, Ralph McQuarrie and [Joe] Johnston designed the Boba Fett outfit at Industrial Light and Magic in California. The costume was built at EMI in London, and then shipped back to Johnston to be painted. Originally the Boba Fett costume was intended to be worn by a squad of supercommandos, troops from the Mandalore system armed with weapons built into their suits. But the costume was adapted for the Boba Fett character by aging, denting, and adding a colorful paint job to one of these suits, while keeping the wrist lasers, flying backpack, and rocket darts originally intended for the supercommandos." #
