During preproduction on
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), production designer
Norman Reynolds asked assistant editor
Duwayne Dunham to try out the first, all white prototype armor for Boba Fett. Years later, as Dunham was directing
Pursuit of Peace (2010), an issue of "Star Wars Insider" magazine came out which featured photographs of him in the suit. Within 20 minutes, a line of Lucasfilm employees formed a line to get Dunham to autograph the magazine.
