East Side Dave’s Top 5 Boba Fett Moments!
The original Boba Fett actor, Jeremy Bulloch, has died at the age of 75.
Bulloch first appeared as Boba in The Empire Strikes Back and the character became an instant-classic.
As a result…we want to make a list…Top 5 Boba Fett Moments! Now, some of these moments feature Jeremy and some do not…but it was Jeremy Bulloch who put Boba on the map. So he’ll always remain in our Star Wars hearts! RIP, Jeremy!
5.) Boba Fett’s Debut
We all know that Boba Fett was first seen in The Empire Strikes Back, right? Well…technically…that is not the case! Boba’s official debut was actually in the much-maligned Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978 (two years before the release of Empire). The holiday special itself is one of the worst things ever done in the Star Wars galaxy…but it DID give us this Boba cartoon and our first look at the character!
4.) Boba Fett’s CINEMATIC Debut
On the BIG screen, Boba first enters the Saga in The Empire Strikes Back in this fantastic bounty hunter scene…where Darth Vader has gathered the most nefarious hunters in the Galaxy to find Han Solo. And remember, Boba…….NO disintegrations!
3.) Witnessing His Father’s Death
In Attack Of The Clones, Boba sees his father Jango (also an infamous bounty hunter) get decapitated by Mace Windu. Talk about childhood trauma!
2.) Boba & The Sarlacc Pit
Boba Fett truly shows what he is capable of in Return Of The Jedi when we get to see his jetpack and different weapons in action. Unfortunately…things don’t end well for the Galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter as he falls into the disgusting Sarlacc Pit and perishes………..or does he?
