The more I look into creating a Boba Fett suit, the more I start to nitpick and drive myself borderline insane with the details. I want to remain faithful to the mysterious Boba Fett, but I love the ESB helmet and ROTJ armor. Has anyone worn this combination or is it frowned upon? I know there are variations between the two helmets, like color and "battle damage." I guess it could be possible to have the brighter red visor and battle damage painted like ESB and the green painted like ROTJ? *one conflicted fan*

We call it the Special Edition, as that was (sort of) the combination that was used for some additional scenes filmed for the Special Edition release in 1997. There are more changes to the costume for those scenes, but most people ignore them it seems. Anyway, it's maybe the most common version people make.

The version you're referring to is the "Special Edition" Fett or SE.

Actually its ESB armor painted ROTJ...to be clear. The SE suit was not ROTJ Chest/AB Armor.

So, essentially it comes down to paint Fett 4 Real?

For the special edition they repaired the esb armor. So the dents are esb on the chest and ab plate. But the shoulders are rotj...

These guys know what's up. I knew there was subtle differences with the armor plates, but basically ROTJ suit with ESB helmet (extra damage added)
Am I in the ballpark?
