SWEET ESB Images thanks to Official Pix and SpideyFett

These pics became available due to the Jeremy Bulloch project and have finally been made available to you guys thanks to SpideyFett, Philip Wise and Official Pix! This is one of the best pics I have seen of the ESB jet pack and shows details of the weathering that I hadn't seen previously! Enjoy and a huge thanks to those who made these available!

If you use these pics, please give Official PIX all the credit...thank you.

Again, Special thanks to Ben Stevens and Philip Wise at Official Pix for there efforts to help make these available. As this should help solve this Fett Mystery.:thumbsup

Please notice that there are allot of details that are in these pics that AREN'T in the Screen Shots....Example: the Gray Cape Shoulder Stud.

ENJOY EVERYONE.:thumbsup

Alex

Wow! Thanks, those are some nice reference pictures.:thumbsup

Stunning! Thank you all for sharing.

WOW... Just WOW..

So much detail.. can't focus...

So first thing I found interesting (since it's what I'm currently focused on anyway…) . Check out the buttons on the Left Gaunt calc pad. Look like I've got a little update. I thought there was only ONE column of red buttons... Clearly, there are 2 red, 2 blue, 1 silver.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E :suprise just WOW! Thank you very much Official Pix and TDH! :suprise

• Yup.. and the Rub-on transfers on the Rocketpack white detail...upside down E's and H. :thumbsup..
• Paint sheme is probably a silver base and wet sanded and weathered.
• and there's that little nob next to the stablizer too...it shows up again:thumbsup

If you use these pics, please give Official PIX all the credit...thank you.

Thanks for these! Super imrpessive! Thanks to Official Pix and SpideyFett, you guys rock!

Anther piece I've never seen before (or perhaps better word - noticed)

What's the black cord on the back coming from under the JP over the back of the girth?

i think it means the "ROCKETPACK" is functional ;)....thoughts?

SWEET!! Looks like an additional detail on the WHITE JetPack decal as well that I didn't notice.

i'll have to update my decal as well. Thanks Art, thanks Spidey.

Can't comprehend.... This is VERY interesting indeed.

Another thought as I continue to drool...

Check out the knobs on the JP thrusters. If I didn't know better, I would say they are metal....multiple pieces of metal... Almost like a axel, wheel and hub…

Perhaps there is some function to it. Perhaps for positioning on camera?

Perhaps some remote onscreen movements...


Now I'm just getting crazy :wacko

Finally.


now let's compare the Jet Pack shot with the Jeremy Bulloch project pack
:D

ehh, I've seen better... :D

kiddin Nate.

*Drool drool drool*

These pictures are great!
but I think we will never know ALL of Boba's mysteries hehe, the whole costume is just as mysterious as Boba himself.

The piece are definitely metal. You can see it better on other packs. However, they appear to be one piece, more like a pulley wheel.

"Functional" can mean a lot of things. I think all the packs are "functional" to a degree. Sadly, I think 90% of their functionality was to power other parts of the suit that ended up not being used, like the gauntlets. As far as how functional the jet packs were themselves? We know the one shot smoke; we also know that several of the others didn't (solid thrusters). We know that one had the expanding grappling hook mechanism in the rocket tip; we also know that most of the rest didn't (solid resin rocket tip). Beyond that and the lighting beacon... I seriously doubt they had a lot of functionality. I definitely don't think they had anything like antimatronic thrusters.

So sick! Thanks Spidey!!!

Thanks for finally getting these pictures out to the public! These might actually help us to figure out the ESB costume once and for all!

all I know is, Jeremy, who is in these shots, had a serious Wedge...:lol LOL!

and by "fuctional" I mean it had some purpose.... now for what exactly?? who knows?

I think a comparison shot of the back that we've all seen and the this new back shot, shows that the Black Cord sticking out was just tucked away from one frame to the next..... can you post a comparison shot of the two Art??

These pics are friggin awesome, thanks for sharing, Art.

G-Fett

I say old been... :suprise
I wanted to say something stronger but can't...

These are great ref material for us ESB's to help strive a little closer to perfection (goes back to the spray booth) :lol

I personally would like to thank Philip Wise @ Official Pix, Alex & Art for giving us some really great shots of this particular costume! :thumbup thank you!

Definitely agree with your definition of functional. I do believe those hoses were meant for a practical, not aesthetic purpose.

This is fantastic!! It's great to be able to see these. A massive "THANK YOU" from me to all involved!

Looks like I got alittle paint to touch up as well. :rolleyes I still can't bring myself to wear the "thong" though. :lol Thanks again over and over for these great pictures. If anybody can shed some light on that black cord that would be awesome.

WOW! Thanks for the pics. There is definately a lot of information there. Thanks again.

I just noticed for the first time ever that the interior left shoulder stud is also red on the very top,

Bro I got that too! :o so does that mean that the shoulders are both painted red (left side - inside / right side - outside) :?

I'm lovin the cape details and attachment too... top of the shoulder there is a seam that would enable the cape to drape as it does (not rectangle) and attach to the left shoulder connection on the JP! I know JK is gonna love this pic! ;)

This is like looking through "The Art of the Empire Strikes Back" when I was 10 years old all over again...To bare witness to photos like these after all these years is a gift..

The Yellow Pre-pro fusleage coming through the ESB top-coat is my personal favorite..aeh Spidey.

That cord is there so kids will tug on it and run away when all of us accuracy crazed Fetts put it on our own costumes!

I think they just put them on how ever they wanted...it's different in every Screen shot... for example the hall way scene shows all four studs being the same with the red topper on the outside right..and no gray shoulder stud...so I would say there is no wrong way.:thumbsup

Yeah that's a great little Nuance ...definately some yellow in there..:thumbsup

Now that this pic is made public, (Thanx again Alex)
let's examine the sidearm a little


Notice the slotted tip on the barrel
Notice the Logo is still on the holster

This would be for when the outer threaded section (end of barrel) is wound up it tightens onto 'something' :doh
Very interesting pics as you say...

I'm seeing that the girth is in fact a deep reddish brown and not just brown.

I can also do w/o that atomic weggie...:lol

Good stuff, glad these pics are "out" now :thumbsup

Thanks to everybody involved :thumbup

Wow! The entier ESB fett standards have been rewriten, again.

This keeps up I am going to have to fess up to the wherabouts of the famous prepro "eyes" helmet.

Thank you for posting this :thumbsup

I couldn't find the transfers for JB's pack, so I just painted them by hand

And the paint method is exactly how I painted his.:thumbsup

While I can't see it (colorblind) Tyler has said forever that the ESB abd RotJ girths were essentially the same color or at least intended to be the same color and not the clearcut brown vs red that a lot of people believe.

YOu do that and you will certainly be my personal hero.

Here is a quick workup of the jet pack detail. I am sure it could be refined, but here is a place to start.

I think the spaces on the E's should be even
see?

Sorry maybe it's just me.. what do you mean 'even' Eric?

Not sure who Eric might be, but ...

Nice... that looks right to me.:thumbsup

Holy cow! Just saw these.
AMAZING pics! Thanks Alex and Philip and Ben!!
I'm in the middle of an ESB helmet paint up right now, and these will be great for helping to confirm what is "screen used" damage versus "exhibit" damage. :)

I think I'm seeing those brown greasy stains on the helmet dome as well. What does it look like to anyone else?

Let's make some vinyl stickers!!! Whats the size on this? I know someone that prints pretty much anything I bring him in vinyl. I'd like to give this a whirl...

Wow - that's all I have to say.

Oh, except THANKS ALEX!

Oh my god! Amazing pics! Looks like I'm gonna be doing a repaint on the jet pack.

AWESOME pics!!!!! Well one thing is for sure and that is if I ever get really bored some day, I can always begin a repaint of my ESB Boba:cry:lol:cry

Luckily only you guys would ever be able to catch my "inaccuracies" :D


Thanks a million for getting these to the Fett community!!!!:cheering:love:cheering

Steve:fettesb:thumbsup

WOW! I was off for a few hours and bam! Alot of thanks to everyone involved in getting these pics up. Definitely made my day, I'm extremely curious about the black wire or hose.

Here are some photo's I got from TDH a few years ago. They are allegedly photo's of one of the original Jet Packs. I would guess that the wires hanging down are from the inside of the Jet Pack.

The red shoulder stud does appear in this same position (inside left) on screen. When Boba shoots at Luke. I am of the belief that there was one red shoulder stud that got moved around.

So either outside right, or inside left can be considered correct.

sweet pics. the first one of top of the page i just got from celebration japan with jeremys autograph, the print however is not as clear as the shot on top of this page...

the paint scheme for the mq-1 i already figured out through screenshots. so i'm good there. nice jet pack details to add now...
thanks for sharing these.

Darren, that is the PP2 Rocketpack which is now owned by a high end private colllector. Not I don't think the wire seen on the ESB pack is from inside the pack, but may be connected to the input jacks on the backside of the pack.

I'm Glad everyone enjoyed these pics.....and glad they helped in someway.

Again Official Pix made these possible...props to Phillip and Ben.:thumbup
Hopefully there are more to come...;)..or at least some you can purchase on there Website in the very near future.:thumbsup...be sure to check the Official Pix Website for updates.

Thanks

You mean there is more????? Man...I just about had a heart attack over these 3!!!! Wonder how many pics are still unseen??? Anywho, thankyou again so much to everyone that had a hand in getting these for us!!!! So very greatfull!!!!! :)
D

this is such a contribution to the whole ESB Fett man... a big aplause for those who made this available. Are the colors greatly enhanced or is this a good start for color reference?

While colors aren't really my thing, I think the colors are a bit saturated. I would compare the colors you see on the helmet to the colors seen in the AoSW photos and then adjust accordingly.

Glad to see these are posted for everyone!!

The colors in the first pic are a bit saturated. But all three have a blue shift in color. That can be corrected with Curves in Photoshop. I'm not the best with Photoshop, but play around with Curves, Color Balance, or Photo Filters till the colors look better.

Exactly right... most of these pics are ready for print, which is the reason for the Saturation. :thumbsup...little color correction in Photoshop should get you on the right track.
Everything (in terms of the colors) should be "relative" to the helmet, which is the ASOW hero helmet.

Hello,

WOW! Great images! Thank you!

Alan

edit...already posted.

Such valuable photos....:thumbsup:fettesb
You guys are awesome. What else did you guys find in
the safe....hehe! J/K:D

Super cool pictures! :cheers

Just looking at these old pics and in the front side picture, it looks to me whatever the buttstock detail pieces are on the rifle appears to be the same mystery red material that the slave Leia bikinis were made from. You can see the paint rubbed off the rear one.

This picture. Make it the largest size and then look at the rifle buttstock detail closest to the rear of the rifle, by the wookie scalps. You can see 2 of the 4 edges of that detail "square", and both visible edges have the black paint rubbing off and you can see that "slave bikini red" underneath.

http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/attac...9&d=1221836927

I see, but I think based on other pics posted that it was determined that this piece is an "anodized" red metal piece...I'll see what I can find.

Since he works for LFL and has access to real parts, I'd trust his judgement. Too bad the thread faded away without more info.

I've actually spoken with Chris on this piece.. and that post was in 2008.... But based on Higher Res pics we saw at FanDays after party, I think Chris has since changed his mind.
Plus there are additional pics that unfortunately I can not post....just yet.

OK, cool.
