Boba Fett made his first public appearance on September 24, 1978, at San Anselmo's annual Country Fair Day parade, a year after the original "Star Wars" film released. Despite being an obscure character, he captivated the crowd alongside Darth Vader, who struggled with the intense heat of the day. The event was notable not just for Fett's debut, but also for the extreme temperatures, leading to multiple heat-related incidents among attendees, including Vader himself. This historical context highlights Fett's journey in the cinematic universe.
"We didn't know who he was - I had no idea, nobody knew. This character had not been introduced..." - Dave Donery reflects on Boba Fett's surprise debut.
"Darth had basically fainted in his costume. It was so hot that 15 people were treated for heat-related collapses that day." - Dave Donery on the intense heat during the 1978 parade.
