Welcome to my Boba Fett Costume Page!
A brief intro into my "habit". I love Halloween! And usually each year, in a flurry of hurried effort, I try to pull together some type of off-the-wall costume.
Halloween of 2003, I came back to one of my favorite movie's of all-time, STAR WARS, and created a Tusken Raider costume. With all my searching on the internet, I discovered several helpful websites for making and building costumes.
First things first, you must chose your Fett...there are several choices and here is a list and some brief descriptions of each one.
- Pre-production Fett
- Pre-production Fett #1
- Pre-production Fett #2
- Pre-production Fett #3
- The Empire Strikes Back (ESB)
- Return of the Jedi (ROTJ)
- Stars Wars (Special Edition)
- ...Or a custom or Extended Universe (EU) Fett Character
I also discovered the 501st Stormtrooper Legion. I used my Tusken costume to gain entry into the 501st.
After Halloween, I discovered The Dented Helmet Forum, and I knew what I wanted to make. In November of '03, I began buying a few things here and there. My first purchase was a helmet...next armor...and then it steamrolled from there.
Whatever I could not buy, due to cost or availability, I created myself. My guns and jetpack are totally made from scratch. I painted every piece of my costume, and I did much of the sewing myself.
- Suit
- Vest
- Cape
- Belts
- Boots
Weapons- Sidearm
- EE-3
Jetpack
Miscellaneous- Shin tools
I finally had a wearable costume in June '04. My first outing as Boba Fett was at Adventure Con in Knoxville, TN. I had a blast, but being the first time in the costume and wearing it for a significant amount of time, I discovered several things that needed to be adjusted or changed.
I don't think I will ever call this costume finished. It will always be a work in progress...
I received this December '04 from a very talented individual - John Trnka. John created this particular piece using a combination of graphite and charcoal.

Here's another awesome drawing from a very talented individual, Andy Kun. Andy created this for me from a collage of photos I put together. You can see more of his artwork over at the TDH.
