Regarding the center piece: "This was the first sketch I did of The Mandalorian for the project to 'get into character.' [Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni] wanted a strong Holiday Special OG #BobaFett vibe so this is what I banged out to get the ball rolling."

While not "screen accurate," this stylized baby format is inspired by Fett's animated debut in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.

 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.

Earlier this week we learned that Don Francks, the voice of #BobaFett in the #StarWars Holiday Special, passed away.

Here is our tribute to remember his incredible talent, providing the very first voice of the character we all know and love. He also did the voice of Fett in the "Droids" cartoon in 1985.

Don was born February 28, 1932. He was 84 years old.

 Luke Skywalker

#FettFriday: No #AprilFools joke here -- this is Leia and Luke both saying "#BobaFett" aloud in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Needless to say, this moment was cut from the final film, leaving it until "Jedi" for the bounty hunter to be named aloud on screen -- aside from the "Holiday Special" in 1978 and "E.T." in 1982.

To see the whole thing, you'll need Bonus Disc 2 from the #StarWars "Complete Saga" Blu-ray set, which is available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1MFG9l0.

(Helmet nod to Marcelo Zuniga on YouTube for amending the raw footage with music to feel more like the final film. We also dialed down a loud buzzing sound effect in this excerpt.)

Normally seen on bootleg VHS copies, Lucasfilm included the cartoon segment of the television special as a bonus feature for the "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" Blu-ray release in 2011. Don Francks is uncredited but believed to be the voice of Boba Fett.

For more trivia and transcripts, see our Fettpedia entry at http://bobafett.com/fettpedia/Star_Wars_Holiday_Special

(Correction: We originally said the 2005 Blu-ray release, which is incorrect and doesn't exist. It's the 2011 Blu-ray release that has this bonus footage.)

#ThisDayInHistory: On September 28th in 1985, #BobaFett appears in the "Droids" animated series. The episode was called "The Trigon One: A Race to the Finish" and has yet to be officially released on Blu-ray or DVD.

While George Buza was once credited (incorrectly) as doing the voice, it's now known that the man to speak the lines was Don Francks, who also did Fett in the "Holiday Special."

#ThrowbackThursday: the vintage animated television series "Droids" included one episode with #BobaFett back in 1985 called "A Race to the Finish."

Boba Fett was voiced by Don Francks (not George Buza). The episode was directed by Raymond Jafelice and written by both Peter Sauder and Steven Wright. It was made by Nelvana, the same studio who did the "#StarWars Holiday Special" animated debut of Boba Fett in 1978.
