Boba Fett was first introduced to fans in 1980’s Empire Strikes Back but when George Lucas released his Special Edition cuts of the entire Star Wars trilogy in 1997, he included a scene with Boba Fett in the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, where he’s seen standing alongside Jabba the Hutt when Jabba confronts Han Solo (Harrison Ford) about his unpaid debt.
While fans continue to count down the days until Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a decades-old mystery from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back has finally been solved.
Here’s an excerpt from the book below, which goes into the New Hope special edition scene and also the “No disintegrations” scene from Empire Strikes Back.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the whispers of surprise when I walked onto the scene.
