Happy birthday Mark Austin!

The life-long #BobaFett fan – already working as a Supervising Animator at ILM, eventually on #StarWars: Special Edition – had the rare opportunity to wear one of the Boba Fett costumes at Lucasfilm Archives and perform the additional scene for the 1997 film plus an earlier "summit" event at Skywalker Ranch

Ralph McQuarrie

Here's an except from "#StarWars Art: Ralph McQuarrie" of early sketches and a draft before the final, famous bounty hunter painting with #BobaFett front and center.

You can get the hardcover set on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2cnGoEU

Acme Archives also sells an official print of this called "Scourge of the Galaxy."

We like to think #Dengar was behind the camera or painted the portrait since he's omitted. Perhaps he was added late in the game, too.

Star Wars: Special Edition

Mark Austin

Prep for #BobaFett's cameo in "A New Hope: Special Edition," featuring Mark Austin (left) and Steve "Spaz" Williams (right).

"Steve sets me on my blue screen start marker for the rehearsal of the shot. Since no camera data had been archived from 1976/1977 I had to walk the shot time and again whilst the camera height and lenses were adjusted to make me match the original plate. The late, dear Annie Polland watches on." -- Mark Austin

Mark is also now on Twitter at @BobaFettANHSE.
