There are two new things have been revealed for classic characters of the Star Wars universe that fans of the franchise might find interesting. The information comes from Star Wars Celebration and one part of the information reveals how Boba Fett got the dent on his helmet. The other part pretty much confirms that the white bearded man on Endor helping the Rebels is Captain Rex!
Long story short, Boba Fett has a standoff with Star Wars fan favorite Cad Bane. Fett wants to save his friends, while Bane... doesn't want that. The two face each other and draw their weapons and fire at each other. Both characters are hit and go flying and now Boba Fett has a dent in his helmet. You can check out the unfinished footage that was going to be shown on the Clone Wars series that they showed at the celebration below.
As for Captain Rex, They showed some new concept art of him from Star Wars Rebels that you can see below that shows him wearing gear that is similar to the Rebel strike force that destroyed the Empire’s shield generator in Return of the Jedi. You can see a photo from the classic film below that shows the white-bearded man that many fans have speculated could be Rex for years. We'll, now it seems to have been confirmed. For many Star Wars fans, this is huge.
This information was all revealed by Pablo Hidalgo and Dave Filoni at the Animated Origins and Unexpected Fates panel at the Star Wars event currently taking place in Orlando.
