Chris and Randall wonder who created Boba Fett.
A brief timeline of Boba Fett's creation that we put together:
1) Ralph McQuarrie makes an illustration of an elite stormtrooper possibly inspired by the Rocket Man serials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Rocket_Men): https://www.flyguy.net/post/96362912107/boba-fett-concept-art-by-joe-johnston-and-ralph
2) Joe Johnston puts a costume together based on the sketch: https://www.starwars.com/video/meet-boba-fett
