It's the anniversary year of ESB and I decided to put on the suit and see a professional photographer.
The idea was to duplicate a scene/pose from ESB as seen in the pic below. The photographer took some time to get it as close as possible, pose, lighting, ect.
Let me also thank all of the guys and gals the propmakers that made such phantastic pieces available to us, and the dented helmet for being such a great and informative place on the web. Your one stop source for all your Fett needs!
