Wow, I’ve never seen a photo of Boba with the poncho he has in the concept art. Wonder if they ever filmed any scenes with him wearing it?

Where did you find that?

Also I’d be quite surprised if a scene (even if it was only a few takes) of Boba Fett never ended up as bonus material at some point in the last twenty years. Then again, weirder stuff has happened with SW.

They didn’t. That’s a preproduction test shot of the first prototype suit (just after they decided to pain the white one).

Here it is in color on a mannequin:

(this one is the actual “first” version and the only-known image of the eyes on the helmet in that position, you can actually see where they covered over them on the other image)

Except for that last one it just looks like his side cape dealie is pulled around to the front.

Why can’t R2-D2 make some new beeps? He just says the same shit over and over…

I think he has simpler vocal programming compared to other droids like Threepio or K2-SO. I would think that R2 has a set list of responses, and if he has to say something that isn’t in the list, he pieces a new sentence together using sections of his other responses.

That’s a neat theory. I think they do a good job of embodying it in the Old Republic MMO wherein the astromech droids all speak with very simple phrases and math.

Don’t. It goes into deep places and cuts you.

Unless you like that. If so, consume with alcohol.

I consider the HS the trial by fire for any fan. You have to see it at least once. Rifftrax does make it easier these days to survive though. 😉

It’s not the holiday season until I’ve watched Harrison Ford awkwardly hug Chewbacca’s wife.

It’s literally impossible to forget Art Carney selling space porn to Itchy.

(Two C’s in “bacca,” by the way!)

It was horrible in its day, sure, but horrible has long since been redefined, and the Holiday Special simply no longer qualifies.

You’ve already watched ROTS. The Holiday Special will be a cakewalk.

And as I’ve often said, it’s no better or worse than the other variety specials of the era. I really need to watch The Paul Lynde Halloween Special again this year.

I think I’ve figured out why George Lucas insisted that Wookiees and Hutts should not be allowed to be Jedi in the old (Legends) EU.

Namely, as a punishment. For the transgressions of certain members of their respective species.

Punishment??

Boba Fett falling into the Sarlacc was one of the greatest sequences in the entire trilogy? Now I know this article is a prank.

Well, this was the man who brought us the Jedi wisdom that ‘only a Sith deals in absolutes.’

But what those Wookiees did was bad and they should feel bad, and also maybe not be Jedi. Even if Chewbacca is Gillian Anderson’s boyfriend.
