===Film casting and production===
Boba Fett is primarily played by [[Jeremy Bulloch]] in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''. Bulloch's half-brother alerted him to the role.<ref name="io9" /> He was cast as Fett because the costume happened to fit "as if a [[Savile Row]] tailor had come out and made it";<ref name="io9" /><ref name="bullochtgf">{{cite news|url=http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2008/11/boba-fett-actor-star-wars-is-a.html|title=Boba Fett says Star Wars' appeal is a fairy tale in space|last=Bentley|first=David|date=November 24, 2008|work=Coventry Telegraph|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524013155/http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2008/11/boba-fett-actor-star-wars-is-a.html|archive-date=May 24, 2013|access-date=December 13, 2014}}</ref> he did not have to do a reading or screen test,<ref name="efilmcritic" /> and Bulloch never worked from a script for either film.<ref name="bullochwp" />
