Over at the official site, Kristin Baver chats with Jeremy Bulloch about his time as Boba Fett and the arrival of Star Wars Identities in Utrecht, Holland as it ends its stint at the O2 in London.
StarWars.com spoke to the man behind the dented helmet himself, Jeremy Bulloch, as he made a stop at the show to revisit his old armor and relive his memories of being on set.
In the years since his debut, Bulloch has become something of a fan’s man. He still tries to answer every piece of fan mail that crosses his doorstep, makes several convention stops a year, and joined up with the 501st Legion — as who else? Boba Fett! — after he was made an honorary member.
But back in 1980, the then 35-year-old actor just happened to be the right size to don the gear that would define his career.
The article asks “As I understand it, you were sort of conscripted to play Boba Fett by your brother who was working on The Empire Strikes Back and was tasked with finding someone to fit into the costume” The answer to that question is never given, but the brother was in fact a half brother, Robert Watts who was the associate producer on The Empire Strikes Back.
