The Unofficial History of Boba Fett's Costumes

[boba87fett]

Quick note for your Sources page: Star Wars Costumes was written by Brandon Alinger, not Deborah Fine. You have the authors for Chronicles and Costumes mixed up.

Thanks!

I would totally be in for a signed copy! Who do we send our space bucks to...?

Question - is the ghosted background illustration of Fett and Slave 1 going to be printed OVER the photos in the actual book, or will it be behind the photos?

It’s just a watermark on the preview pictures. It won’t be there in the book.

When can you order this book, outstanding work bud

 

[boba87fett]

There have been some recent additions diving deeper into the "Development" portion. We hope to have the book ready to go by the end of the month.

I think ya'll gonna need a few more chapters for modern Boba Fett! Maybe version 2!

Haha let’s see where contemporary Boba Fett goes. I’m not against adding him in the future, but this version will be 1977-1997

What a wonderful project! I haven't checked in here in for a long time, great to see something like this.

Great job Boba87Fett. Looking forward to the final product.

Not a bad idea at all. It'll be fun to watch the evolution of the contemporary Fett's helmet.

Any update on when we will be able to order the book?

Have been working on a significant overhaul with some new contributors. Hope to provide you all an update soon. However, we need some time to accomplish what we are shooting for. What we are adding is worth the wait, I can promise you that. More info to follow.

I would also be down for a copy of this. I will be watching this for when you take pre orders ( I read the entire thread and didn't see anything that said you needed pre order funds so I apologize if I missed that).

I too have no valuable knowledge to add being new to this site and a life long Fett fan but mostly uninformed as to the history and development of the character and costume.

I will however say as a newcomer to the forum, this is the kind of thing that sets this forum apart from others. The value of knowledge and willingness to share it. Thats what this is all about and ots wonderful to see everyone come together and help.

Now this is a great collection of work and history of the original developments of Boba Fett
I LOVE IT.

This is the type of stuff that I live for! Not only for Boba Fett, but seeing the people and methods behind the scenes
Now I just need to know who I need to give money to to have a copy of this sitting in my home!

 

[boba87fett]

I‘ve got this on the back burner another month or two because of work, but hope to have it done by May before my 3rd baby is due! Thanks for your patience.

 

[boba87fett]

There was a sale I couldn't pass up, so I ordered a draft copy of the book to review. Lots to fix so don't look too closely.

I’m game when it’s a wrap

Even though I put in a couple hundreds of hours of research into my ROTJ Hero Costume, to my very untrained eyes, this looks awesome! You should plan on a May 4th release! (Also, I'll be wanting a hard cover copy of this!)


Thanks,

That's what I was shooting for... but I don't think it will happen. Sandy Dhuyvetter has agreed to sign *all* of the books, which adds in extra time need to ship to me for quality checks, then to her and back to me to mail out. Art Andrews is helping to make sure that the quality of information, photos, layout, editing, etc. is the best it can be. It's probably going to take us several more months to get it where we are proud of it. We'll see though!
