I don't remember where that came from. 65 00:02:55.842 --> 00:02:59.262 But during the whole process of evolution, a lot of stuff like that would happen 66 00:02:59.345 --> 00:03:01.306 where somebody would suggest something 67 00:03:01.389 --> 00:03:03.892 and the other guy would take it and say, "How about this?" 68 00:03:04.475 --> 00:03:06.603 FILONI: It shows you the power of a design. 69 00:03:06.728 --> 00:03:10.106 Anything out there that resembles that visor 70 00:03:10.190 --> 00:03:11.191 is just Boba Fett. 71 00:03:12.358 --> 00:03:16.362 JOHNSTON: The Boba Fett suit itself was originally intended to be an army 72 00:03:16.446 --> 00:03:18.698 of what George called Super Troopers, 73 00:03:18.781 --> 00:03:21.826 and the plan was to build 100 of these suits, 74 00:03:21.910 --> 00:03:26.664 and to have them sort of be the Empire's upgraded stormtroopers. 75 00:03:26.748 --> 00:03:30.168 BURTT: They wanted to show what Boba Fett looked like 76 00:03:30.251 --> 00:03:31.419 to the crew in England. 77 00:03:31.502 --> 00:03:34.005 And I made a, kind of, stand up, 78 00:03:34.214 --> 00:03:37.550 you know, introduction. "Here's the new character, Boba Fett" 79 00:03:37.675 --> 00:03:41.804 Boba has sort of a radio voice.

But we had this one suit. 107 00:04:53.793 --> 00:04:57.547 And George said, "Let's make him a different kind of a character. 108 00:04:57.630 --> 00:04:59.299 "Let's make him a bounty hunter." 109 00:04:59.424 --> 00:05:03.136 So the first thing I did was I painted the entire thing silver, 110 00:05:03.803 --> 00:05:07.181 so that when I put the subsequent layers of paint on, 111 00:05:07.265 --> 00:05:11.185 it would look like something hit the suit and broke the covering away, 112 00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:13.688 whether it's paint or some kind of metallic finish, 113 00:05:13.771 --> 00:05:15.398 and you would see the metal underneath. 114 00:05:15.565 --> 00:05:18.693 And from that, I just started mixing rail road colors 115 00:05:18.776 --> 00:05:20.570 and just painting it up and damaging it. 116 00:05:20.653 --> 00:05:22.488 I would take a heat gun, 117 00:05:22.572 --> 00:05:25.491 I heat the plastic, and I think I had a rock or something 118 00:05:25.575 --> 00:05:28.494 that I would then press into the hot plastic to make a dent. 119 00:05:28.578 --> 00:05:30.079 George never came by and said, 120 00:05:30.163 --> 00:05:32.665 "I don't know, I don't like that orange on there." 121 00:05:32.749 --> 00:05:35.043 You know, he said, "Just take it and run with it." 122 00:05:35.126 --> 00:05:37.253 There was no sort of interim stage. 123 00:05:37.337 --> 00:05:40.340 He went from white plastic to Boba Fett. 124 00:05:41.215 --> 00:05:44.218 I said, "This is a good character. People like the bad guys." 125 00:05:45.345 --> 00:05:48.348 And then later, they were doing this holiday special. 126 00:05:48.431 --> 00:05:50.016 (MACHINE BEEPING) 127 00:05:50.099 --> 00:05:53.311 And there wasn't much of our involvement. 128 00:05:53.394 --> 00:05:55.188 But I came up with the idea, 129 00:05:55.271 --> 00:05:57.857 "Why don't we take the Boba Fett character and put him in that? 130 00:05:57.940 --> 00:05:59.609 "Make a little movie out of it?" 131 00:05:59.692 --> 00:06:02.320 I am Boba Fett.
