The First Appearance of Boba Fett & What We Learned from Lisa Stevens and Vic Wertz - The Episode Between Episodes
This week, we look back on our chat with Lisa Stevens and Vic Wertz, mega-collectors who own The Imperial Archives, and discuss their heart-felt take on what Star Wars means to them. Inspired by the first item in their collection, a Power of the Force Boba Fett, Dave subjects Elora to watching the first appearance of Boba Fett in the Star Wars Holiday Special short, The Faithful Wookie! We discuss how it fits into the greater Star Wars tapestry, how it premieres his famous disintegration gun, the Amban Sniper Rifle, it's place in Star War weirdness and how animation in Star Wars is used to stretch the mythology of the franchise! We share how we Star Wars'd this week as Dave continues down the RPG rabbit hole and Elora takes a trip down a Kylo Ren and Rey TikTok rabbit hole!
