The Dilemma:
What Made the Dent in Boba Fett’s Helmet?
Star Wars has a memorable scene where Boba Fett pulls off his iconic helmet from his father’s head. In the space between the third and fourth movies, Boba chooses to keep his father’s helmet. Perhaps it’s a reminder for him or a symbol of the torch passing from one generation to the next. By the time we see the helmet again, Jango’s dents are gone and have been replaced by a new series of battle scars, most notably a circular shaped indentation on the front right of Boba Fett’s temple.
The Star Wars Fan Theory:
We have no way of knowing how it got there, but Star Wars Fans have a few arguments; it was a door on Slave 1, it occurred during the ship’s crash or that it came from a particularly vicious head-butt. Due to CGI errors during that pivotal scene, we have no true answer.
This Star Wars scene gave me an idea…isn’t the base of a lightsaber about that size?
As I tried to determine if this was possible, I looked into Jango Fett’s dent created during the Kamino Escape.
