Adam Savage Takes a Deep Dive Into Boba Fett’s Original Blaster Prop From THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
This is the kind of thing that makes Star Wars fans lose their minds. Adam Savage recently got his hands on Boba Fett’s hero blaster, the actual prop used in The Empire Strikes Back!
During his visit to Propstore’s UK headquarters, Savage examined every inch of this screen-used masterpiece, taking in all the incredible details that make it one of the most legendary weapons in movie history.
Seeing him handle such a rare and iconic piece of the Star Wars universe feels like watching a fan live out every geek’s dream.
