The challenge was to create your own image of Boba Fett, however each member saw fit. The results, posted throughout April, were quite interesting and there is obvious talent in the members of the site:

On another note, the message boards here at the BFFC have been graced by several members making topics to display their own art. One of these art topics, BFFC AMM (Artistic Minded Mando's), is for everyone to post Fett related art. A joint operation between the BFFC AMM and the Cannibal Mermaid members would be quite interesting… The new BFFC AMM and any other artists are at the BFFC could also learn a few things about starting an art site from the people at Cannibal Mermaid, especially since they seem to be good Fett fans as you can tell by their entries in the challenge.

This year finishes the trilogy with the release of a Return of the Jedi poster commemorating all the iconic villains from Return of the Jedi. The Fett man himself takes center stage this time! At the center of the poster Boba stands amidst some Imperial Scouts.

Boba was also the center of the Empire Strikes Back poster! Its great to see a general Star Wars poster NOT have the Fett man half faded in the background but in full view so we can see the Bounty Hunter in all his Mandalorian glory!

The poster is in standard size, measuring 24" X 36" and is printed on thick 100 lb. stock with a deluxe aqueous coating. They cost $50 and proceeds will go to the National Lymphoma Society. A member of the Great Lakes 501st, Jay Shimko (TK-130) just so happens to be a lymphoma survivor, making the poster that much more special.

During this event Dented Helmet member Alex (SpideyFett) had an opportunity to speak with the original Boba Fett. During this conversation Jeremy had told Alex about how amazed he was at the Fett costumes that The Dented Helmet had at the expo and it reminded him of the suit he wore during filming.

Later Alex learned that Jeremy actually wanted a full Fett suit for himself and had been wanting one for some time. And so, the Jeremy Bulloch Project began. The joint powers of memebers from The Dented Helmet and Rebelscum worked on the project for 6 months. The final costume was presented to Jeremy on April 5, 2008 at the Dallas Comic Con.

Pictures of the event and a link to the original story at Ricks Family Website Blog.

The Dallas Morning News wrote up a post, which includes a picture. "'To get this suit is a highlight,' Mr. Bulloch said. 'We never got to keep our costumes after filming. I now have one to wear to events.' The British actor flew in especially for the Boba Fett fete."
