The website, thedentedhelmet.com, posted original concept art that Joe Johnston created for Boba Fett when he worked as a concept artist on George Lucas' Star Wars films. And yes, that is the same Joe Johnston that directed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), Jumanji (1995) and even Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). When you look at these alternate white-armor designs you may not even recognize him as the character that hunted down Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes

After the destruction of the Death Star, Imperial forces continue to pursue the Rebels. After the Rebellion's defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke faces the startling revelation that the evil Vader is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker.

Glad to see comics took inspiration from the alternate gauntlet designs, back pack, etc.




Helmets looks familiar

Also, anyone who says Boba wasn't a badass in the movies (besides his drunken dive into the Pit of Carkoon and SE addition into ANH) was not paying enough attention.

@MarkyMarkRises I want to agree with you whole-heartily, but this behind-the-scenes shot ruined the badass bounty hunter and turned him into my 8th grade math teacher.

Speaking of Joe Johnston, both Rocketeer and the First Avenger are underrated

ForcedAccount Fortunately that's not the normal Fett actor - that's just the chap who stood in for new shots for the 1997 Special Edition ROTJ.

The love for this character is one of the many things that confounds me about Star Wars. He was in the movie for 3 minutes and then got eaten by a sand vagina.

@Blackcondor First Avenger was ok. Winter Soldier was phenomenal. That is all....

@blackandyellow

Admittedly, he had NOTHING to do in ROTJ, and had a really lame defeat, but his popularity is definitely due to Empire Strikes Back.

Nowadays we can just look back, see his whole story, and say "huh, he didn't really do anything". But you've gotta remember that in ESB, he was a legit mysterious character with an awesome design that was entirely ruthless, persistent, and didn't take crap from nobody!

One guy we've never met before did what even the entire Empire couldn't do! He seemed awesome, unstoppable, and people were pumped!

Then ROTJ screwed him over. :P

Return of the Jedi was the beginning of the end for what was great about Star Wars.

Muppet dance routines...

Ewoks...

Terrible writing....

Terrible directing...

And Boba Fett's unfitting demise...

...I trust Abrams who is a fan like us to make things right.

@ForcedAccount @slickrickdesigns - that guy in the Fett costume was just a stand in. This is the real Boba Fett here unmasked with Vader and Irvin Kershner. Now tell me he doesn't look like a badass.



He even still has a costume and troops in it. Mr. Jeremy Bullock is awesome!
