Boba Fett's costume is one of the most complicated in the 501st. Please note that there are multiple variations of the suit, and costumers are required to be consistent to a particular reference with their suits. For a wealth of Boba Fett information, please visit The Dented Helmet, a site largely dedicated to Boba and Jango Fett!

The 501st approval requirements are listed in black.
