Star Wars Influences Episode #5: Boba Fett Reborn

The concept of Boba Fett being killed by a stranger who then takes the bounty hunter’s armor & identity was first presented to us on our airwaves by Star Wars artist Paul Bateman. Now, the concept has turned into a rumor about the plot of a future Boba Fett standalone film, courtesy of the Latino Review. This month on Star Wars Influences, Paul discusses his original concept and why it’s always been something on his Star Wars wish list. We also talk about the origin of Boba as a character created by Ralph McQuarrie & Joe Johnston and how he went from concept art to reality.  Plus, Paul reveals some of his desires for the plot of Episode VII and more!
