Albino Fett and pre pro pictures?

Damn guys. I really like the Albino Fett ronin posted. I'm tempted to work on that one. a couple guys in the Southen Outpost told me Boba Fett is WAY OUT of my league and that I should just do a custom. I'm liking the albino Fett though, yet I would think it's just as hard as the movie versions, and this is a bit out of my way too, no?

Well...

Ummm...what do you mean by it being "canon"?


Canon is something seen in movies, magazines/books, cards, or games.
in this case, they are pictures of Fett how he might have looked, so it counts for canon.
 
So, ... the informal responce to my Hoth/ Preproduction Stlye Fett was:

"It's the LMO's call of course, but because it was a work in progress, and not the final approved design used in the film, I would say that it wouldn't qualify for membership. Otherwise we'd have to accept every pre-production costume sketch of Vader, Stormtroopers and other characters to be consistent."

I have yet to formally submit it to the 501st, but there does seem to be another "white " Fett already official in the 501st bounty hunter members, ...don't know if he was grand fathered in? It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other as I already have a few "Canon" 501st costumes, and the sun doesn't rise and set in the 501st. I got the Hoth Fett costume from Man of War because, quite frankly, it kicks arse!!! And Man of War, (Christian) did a fantastic job, the quality it the highest I've seen, and I wanted to do a white pre-production Fett and knew I couldn't come close to competing with the work Christian did!! So, my white helmet off to Christian, you couldn't find a nicer guy to do business with, top notch Fett armor, IMHO.

 
Can anyone explain what they (George Lucas and team) wer doing with the JEtpack when it was shooting out all that steam

AND, was this going to be Boba Fett, or just another mando?
 
One of the guys who gives membership told me that they accept pre pro/Albino Fetts. I don't know for sure, yet I guess each outpost/garrison is different. Some will accept pre pros and some won't

As for the jet pack steam, I guess they were testing it and making it look like it was going to blast off and fly
 
Don't know about the steam, but it wasn't to be Boba Fett at the time, it was to be a team of Super Commandos, ...Stormtroopers.

I guess it was changed to be Boba Fett then..?

does anyone know where I can get the book that has pics of the Albino Fett?
I'm really interested in it now.
 
Actually they just re-released that chronicles book, you can get it on Amazon.com for like $100. And while that doens't sound cheap for a book consider that I have seen old copies of that book go for around $400. And it is the holy grail of fett pics.
 
Star Wars Chronicles for the OT:

Regarding why Fett's costume was all white during intial development:

"At Lucasfilm, Boba Fett was designed by Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie. At an early production stage of The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett's costume had been intended for a squad of supercommandos from the Mandalore system. The troops' white-armored suits were to have been equipped with numerous built-in weapons, including wrist lasers, flying backpacks, and rocket darts. In an interview for Star Wars:The Annotated Screenplays, Joe Johnston recalled, " I designed the final version of Boba Fett. Ralph and I both worked on preliminary designs, and we traded ideas back and forth. Originally, Boba Fett was part of a force we called Super Troopers, and they were these really high-tech fighting units, and they all looked alike. That eventually evolved into a single bounty hunter."

Because there are so few images of the all-white Fett, the costume has been romanticized. While it is unclear exactly what dents on the suit, it is basically an unpainted prepro 1/prepro 3 suit with a different cape.
 
That hoth fett just plain rocks.I have always liked that look, and I love that the armor,..it is not overly thick.Looks nice and streamlined.
Great Job on it!!!!
 
The original pictures are amazing.

I am about to start my white pre-production helmet, so will start a thread this month with some pics:D
