Meet Boba Fett: 1978 Boba Fett Screentest

This is great—a screen-test for the as yet un-finished Boba Fett costume from The Empire Strikes Back, circa 1978. From archive.org:

In (the) black and white video, sound designer Ben Burtt “hosts” Fett’s reveal for Lucas and crew, describing the different weapons, functions, and characteristics of the costume (worn by Empire’s assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham for the test). The somewhat amusing footage depicts Fett with a mocked-up laser rifle (which used a lightsaber hilt for the barrel) and a Star Wars beach towel doubling as the bounty hunter’s tattered serape.
