| Rocketman Flies as Boba
Fett
Los Angeles, California
May 25-28,
2007
On May 25, 2007, exactly 30 years
to the day of the first Star Wars
showing, Rocketman turns the Boba Fett
fantasy into a reality at Celebration
IV in Los Angeles .
For years Star Wars fans have
admired Boba Fett, the Bounty Hunter
and his ability to fly with a
Rocketbelt.
For the first time in Star Wars
history, George Lucas's dream of a
flying Boba Fett has come true with
this weekends three performance
flights at Celebration IV.
Flight one was a surprise entrance
at the opening ceremonies. Rocketman,
as Boba Fett, made a surgical flight.
Flying threw the auditorium and over
the stage to join the Stormtroopers
for pictures.
The next morning, Darth Vader and
his troops of the 501st. made their
way outside and cleared an area in the
crowd. The audience waited patiently
for the ten o'clock convention center
opening. At exactly ten o'clock a loud
noise emerged from the distance and up
over the trees came the Rocketman in
full Boba Fett regalia right on time
to begin the festivities.
