Boba Fett

Boba Fett as portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch in 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back" directed by Irvin Kershner.

A slight detour from my standard monster/horror work, hopefully you will all enjoy a bit of self indulgence in the future as I continue the series of Star Wars portraits I'll be doing.

I remember the desperation of collecting enough proof of purchase symbols to send in for the mail away Boba Fett. And the anxious summer spent waiting for the small white box to arrive in the mail, followed by the slight disappointment when I discovered that Boba's jet pack didn't launch a rocket as promised... (The rumor of my youth was that because some kid shot a Cylon Raider dart into his mouth and choked to death on it, Kenner preemptively changed the design and ruined the fun for the rest off us!)

Boba made his first appearance in the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special," and quickly became a iconic symbol of my generation, this was the fist glimpse into the future of the Star Wars galaxy, and what a awesome design! It's to bad that he never really lived up to the sheer coolness we all injected into him. He ended up being a overpaid delivery boy who went out in one of the most disappointing death scenes in cinematic history. But I will always hold an intense love for the iconic image of Boba!

As always, you can order limited edition signed and numbered prints of this or any of my portraits by visiting the store or by simply clicking the button bellow!
