For Fun at Celebration IV in LA



Mary-Frances, Jeremy Bulloch, and I at Celebration IV, right after I got his autograph. For those whom do not know who Jeremy Bulloch is, he is the body actor whom played Boba Fett in several scenes in ESB and ROTJ. Jason Wingreen was the Voice in ESB and John Morton was a stand in for Bulloch when he could not be on set, and another guy did the stunts though they were all uncredited for their role.

This is THE ROTJ costume, with preproduction knee armor, and the ESB helmet.

New ROTJ Boot Spats Version 2.0


The Boot spats are another blunder from my first costume. As a reminder, my first costume was based off the ESB version, and in the ESB version Boba Fett does not have spats. This is a ROTJ specific item only.

To make the spats for Version 1.0, I used a seam ripper and took off the collar of the jumpsuits and stitched some Velcro to them and bam! They were boot spats.

For Version 2.0, I did like I did for the utility pouches. I found an old preproduction photograph of the costume laid out on the floor. I traced over the photo with AutoCAD, printed a pattern, cut it out of Tackle Twill, stitched it, and bam! Boot kickin' spats!
