20 Mind-Blowing Facts About Star Wars

14. Boba Fett Was Originally An Advanced Form Of Stormtrooper

When it was first designed, Boba Fett's armour was almost entirely white, marking his relation to the Stormtroopers. You see, Fett was originally supposed to be something known as a Supertrooper and would have been situated somewhere between regular Stormtroopers and Darth Vader in terms of power and authority. Although the Supertrooper concept was never used, the design hallmarks remain - the white variant of Boba Fett's armour does look a lot like an advanced Stormtrooper. In the end, though, colour was added to the costume when they decided it was to be worn by a bounty hunter.
