BOBA FETT BLASTER SE
STAR WARS: EPISODE VI RETURN OF THE JEDI

From his entrance on the bridge of  Darth Vader's command ship in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, to his ignominious exit in the belly of the mighty Sarlacc in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett excited fans' imaginations like no other character in the Star Wars universe.

We would come to learn that Boba Fett was in fact a clone, an exact genetic duplicate of his father, famed bounty hunter Jango Fett.  Raised in isolation on the storm-laden world of Kamino, young Boba learned valuable survival  and martial arts skills from his highly talented father.  When Jango was killed in the opening battle of the Clone Wars, Boba embarked on a path that would lead him into the "family business."

But at his introduction a long time ago, in a decade not too far, far away, Boba Fett was simply a mysterious, armor-clad warrior who said little and carried a big gun...

Boba Fett's blaster prop used in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, like its slightly different counterpart seen in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back,  was based on a World War I flare gun that was used to signal aircraft from the ground.  The sight appears to be a 4 x 20 sighting scope with plastic model kit parts.  Kit parts can also be found on the stock and other arts of the gun.  Additionally the barrel was dressed with T-track sections that were commonly used on many other Star Wars weapons.

To model our replica, we scanned a surviving Boba Fett blaster prop in the Lucasfilm archives and obtained the actual flare gun that was used to make the original prop.  Using this data we modeled the precise geometrics of everyone's favorite bounty hunter's weapon, ensuring that our replica is as accurate as you could want it to be.

We hope you enjoy this latest and valuable addition to your Star Wars collection for many years to come.
