Ok, unless I missed something, the SE Fett is the one we see in the re-inserted ANH Jabba scene correct? After pouring over the stencils, the "wafer thin WIP" & while making my own ESB after a solid week of painting, I feel I know the ESB bucket very well. Well tonight I was watching the HD ANH on Spike once again and just saw the Boba scene. I think we have it mixed up. The ANH Boba is definitely wearing the ROTJ bucket or something, but for sure not an ESB! My reasons:
First off, red, not yellow kill stripes.
Next, the back panel detailing is not right at all. You see two or three large chips on the rear left, but not long scratches like ESB.
Lastly, he turns and faces the camera and the front damage doesn't line up the same. There is a large chip over the left eye which is too large. The cheek scratches are not the same, but curiously, the "cat scratch" looks to be present.
Which leads me to a different theory. This is a repainted Fett suit of some origin. Reasons I think this:
1. The back of the bucket's keyslots does not look like it's even painted red. Lighting for the blue screening might have messed with this some, since the whole costume looks really dark.
2. Most striking to me was that the left shoulder is missing the mythosaur skull! I thought maybe the shoulders were reversed, but the damage doesn't look the same, not to mention the somewhat darker color.
3. The different damage I mentioned above.
Now please tell me someone else spotted all this stuff and there is an explanation. Otherwise, my eyes and TV are failing me.
