BOBA FETT UNMASKED

Back before BOBA FETT was forever ruined by the Prequels, he still remained a man of absolute mystery... which was perfect. What did he look like under the helmet? Who cares - he's mysterious!

Around 1994, comic artist DAN BRERETON (I think) did a pinup in the magazine STAR WARS GALAXY (above). It was simply his interpretation of what Boba Fett MIGHT look like... or COULD look like. It was a fun piece and I dug it, although it also confirmed that Fett does indeed work best as a mysterious character in a kickass helmet.

While I still hold that you never know what he looks like underneath, I would take this version over the shitty Prequel versions any day.

But anything could've happened to Boba between episodes 3 and 5 (not counting his cameo in the special edition of New Hope).

He could have huge scars over his face, a mohawk, tattoos, piercings, hickeys - you name it. He's still kinda mysterious.

That said, I kind of enjoyed the Clone Wars finale with Boba Fett. Although they made him a little too whiny. Other than that, it was kind of interesting.
