10 Awkward Star Wars Moments That Must’ve Happened Off Screen

5. Boba Fett Tries On His Daddy's Outfit For The First Time

While it has since been made canon that Boba Fett likely wasn't actually wearing the same helmet that once contained his father's decapitated head - with the bitter youngster using it to hide a bomb in an attempt to take out Mace Windu in the Clone Wars - that still doesn't change the fact that the rest of the Beskar gear being taken up by the son of Jango must've produced its fair share of uncomfortable moments at one point or another.

Don't forget, the rest of that unmistakable Mandalorian armour still housed the other half of Jango's separated body as it lay limp on Geonosis, something Boba himself witnessed as the Clone Wars got underway. So, that first moment the soon-to-be iconic bounty hunter tried on the Beskar body suit must've been a bit of a conflicting and emotional experience; one not captured in any Star Wars on-screen project to date.

Boba would obviously go out of his way to repaint the armour in his own distinct choice of colourings later down the road, but ultimately restored the suit in general in memory of his late father.
