George Lucas' Original Plans For Boba Fett (& Why They Changed)
Boba Fett has been one of the greatest antagonist characters in Star Wars history since his 1978 debut, but George Lucas originally had much more villainous plans for the bounty hunter. The clone son of notorious bounty hunter and mercenary Jango Fett, Star Wars first introduced Boba Fett in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978, where a cartoon version of the character was seen riding the Paar’s ichthyodont. While the Star Wars Holiday Special has largely been disowned by the stars and fans alike, the Boba Fett sequence was notably well-received, which aligns with George Lucas’ original intentions for him to have a significant role in Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.
