THE 'EMPIRE' AT 30: BACK TO BOBA!



Our anniversary celebrations for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK continue with this great behind the scenes image of British stand-in, extra and Bossk performer Alan Harris donning an uncoloured prototype costume for bounty hunter Boba Fett (previously a "Superstormtrooper" concept) at Elstree, during the film's 1979 pre-production. With an actor was needed for Fett's scenes from April onwards, Robert Watts offered the role to his half-brother, Jeremy Bulloch were he able to fit the costume, which he ultimately did.
