Have you met the man who first brought Boba Fett to life?

In 1978, John Celestri animated Boba Fett for his introduction in the Holiday Special, kicking off Star Wars fans’ nearly 50-year fascination with the mysterious bounty hunter.  

During the May 4th weekend, John shared his experience with more than 150 collectors at the Rogue Fun weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia.  

Learn more about John’s contribution to the world of Star Wars in the Rogue Fun panel “Animating Boba Fett and Beyond: A Conversation with John Celestri.”

Join host David Quinn for part three of a new five-week series that focuses on the fascinating presentations from the Rogue Fun event and brings the full panels to you!

This is how an artist’s pencil can impact a galaxy.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
