- Small standees featuring Boba Fett and other characters were a Celebration exclusive
- Jakks Pacific unveiled the SDCC 2015 exclusive, a “First Appearance Boba Fett” figure, which is technically the pre-production Boba Fett look
- During a “Lucasfilm Story Group” panel, Pablo Hidalgo mentioned Boba Fett once: “Boba Fett is both simultaneously alive and dead in the Sarlacc” (which opens the door now to hashtag #SchrodingersFett)
- During a “Star Wars Rebels” panel, Dave Filoni was asked in the Q&A if Boba Fett and Cad Bane would return; he only addressed Cad Bane, leaving the door open to speculation about why he didn’t answer the full question
