The upcoming 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back is turning into a fete for Fett.
Boba Fett, the galaxy's most fearsome bounty hunter, was just a supporting character in the original Star Wars sequel, but his cult-favorite status has placed the masked mercenary at center stage in plans to commemorate the movie, which opened May 21, 1980.

This may come with come with some controversy, as Boba Fett is one of the most sacred of characters in the entire Star Wars fandom. Hopefully, the production crew of The Clone Wars has handled his appearance with respect for the fans who grew up idolizing Boba Fett, as well adding a fresh spin on the this teenage version. Guess we'll all find out next month when the episode premieres on Cartoon Network. I know I'm excited!
