Mark Anthony Austin
When George Lucas was reworking
Star Wars for the re-releases in 1997, the scenes with Han Solo and Jabba the
Hutt, he wanted to add Boba Fett. Mark Austin, who worked at ILM at the
time, was in close proximity and was asked to try on the Fett helmet, it
fit. They used Austin instead of making Fett partially digitized.
Austin is currently an animator
for Disney.

*When Han goes to his ship, he is met by Jabba
the Hutt. This scene was originally filmed in 1976 with Declan Mulholland in
Jabba's place. Declan is replaced here by a CG Jabba who's younger and thinner
than he is in ROTJ. The music used here is borrowed from Jabba's Palace in
ROTJ. Han convinces Jabba to give him an extension on his debt and Jabba
and his henchmen leave, followed by Boba Fett who pauses to survey the scene.
