Given how little screen time he receives in the original films, Boba Fett’s popularity has shocked many. Perhaps it’s his reserved nature that has piqued the interest of so many fans. In the prequels, he even reappears as a small clone child, followed by his father, Jango Fett. Jango had asked for a single unaltered clone in exchange for his DNA, and he had reared Boba as his own son.

Unfortunately, the rocket propellers aren’t actually functional, which is why the ladder and small trampoline are in the photo. Even if the lack of special effects makes Jango look a little ridiculous, he still looks enough frightening in his armor and helmet.

This should come as no surprise, but no real-life lightsabers were present on the set of Attack of the Clones. While the Battle of Geonosis, the Grand Army of the Republic’s first major engagement, appears epic and climactic on screen, it falls short in real life. Some Jedi have entire lightsaber props with extended blades, while others only have the hilt with the blades added later digitally.

In this photo, the performers are really selling it, running into the melee to stave against the Separatist droid army. Due to the blue screen and false laser sword hilt, their intensity is partially diminished.
