"Albino" Fett The all white version of Boba Fett is one of the earliest known. Several of Ralph Mcquarrie's concept paintings (see below) show Fett as an all white character. In fact, the "mandalorian" armor was originally intended not for a sinlge character but for a special squad of "shocktroopers." For unknown reasons, this idea was scrapped and the armor was redesigned and customized for a single character.
There are only two known pictures of the all white costume. Both were published in the Auura Singg bounty hunter book. Unique aspects of this armor: In one of the two known pictures of the all white costume, Boba Fett carries a weapon that is never seen again. The pistol is a toy uzi with the stock extended. The barrel section has been replaced with a graflex flash tube (inspiration for the ESB blaster having an MPP inserted into the barrel of the Webley?). A small electronics board has been added to the side of the uzi body, just above the trigger. This prop is now in Steve Sansweet's collection.
Boba carries a second blaster on his hip which is an early version of the blaster seen on the preproduction one/two. It appears the same base gun but has a different grip, collapsed stock, and a different paint scheme.
The gauntlets seen on the all white costume appear to be the same set seen on the prepro 1 suit.
On the all white costume's jet pack is a small logo that is also seen on the side of the snowtrooper backpack.
