STAR WARS: Original Boba Fett Screen Test Featuring All-White Costume
Even though George Lucas and his awful Star Wars prequels ruined much of the mystique, Boba Fett still remains one of the coolest characters in the Star Wars universe. Hit the jump to check out an early screen test of Boba Fett, from 1978.
Many have seen the early Ralph McQuarrie sketches of Boba Fett sporting the all-white helmet and armor. What you haven't seen is the original white Fett costume in action. A videotape was rolling to capture "proto Fett's" reveal to Lucas and company at the filmmaker's home on June 28, 1978. In the video, sound designer Ben Burtt "hosts" Fett's reveal, describing the different weapons, functions, and characteristics of the costume (worn by Empire's assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham for the test).
