Hi all, awesome site, glad to be a part of it. I'm doing some research for an article and all links lead back here as the final authorities on the origin of the character.
I have a few behind the scenes questions for the historians among you:
1. Does anyone have a date for McQuarrie and Johnston's original Super-Trooper concept art?
2. Known date for when Lucas asked Johnston to adapt the Super-trooper concept to Boba Fett?
3. Does anyone know the date when David Acomba introduced Lucas to Nelvana Studios for the Boba Fett "Story of the Faithful Wookiee" cartoon during the making of the Holiday Special?
4. Date of Clive Smith's original story concept pitch to Lucas, and whether it included Boba Fett?
5. Known date for Lucas's notes to Nelvana to include Boba Fett in the Nelvana Wookie cartoon?
6. Any other random info about the earliest mention of Boba Fett as a bounty hunter, and where Lucas got the concept?
Thanks!!
