First Reveal
初次露面
True to his enigmatic character, facts about Boba Fett remain as shifty as the sands of the Dune Sea. Before Attack of the Clones, the origin of Fett had long been a subject of controversy -- was he a vestige of the Clone Armies, a Mandalorian mercenary, or a super-stormtrooper? Was he once called Jaster Mereel? Did he in fact survive the treacherous Pit of Carkoon? While some of these questions have been answered by the prequels and framers of the Expanded Universe, the character's cinematic debut is still open for debate -- is Episode II to be considered the film that launched the Fett character, or Empire? And let's not forget about his cameo in the retro-fitted Star Wars Special Edition....
神秘的角色有着神秘的身世，波巴·费特的身世像沙丘之海的沙子一样让人难以捉摸。在《克隆人的进攻》之前，费特的原始身份一直是人们争论的主题——他是克隆人军队的老兵？曼达洛雇佣兵？还是一个超级冲锋队员？他是不是用过贾斯特·梅里尔这个名字？他是不是真从危险的卡孔大坑中生还了？有的问题被前传和衍生宇宙的构建者们解答了，但这个角色在电影里的首次出场仍然存在争议——哪一部才算第一次推出费特这个角色的电影，是EpII还是《帝国反击战》？还有，我们不要忘了，他在翻新后的《星球大战特别版》短暂出场过……
As for Fett's first public unveiling, tradition holds that Boba was first revealed to audiences as an animated character in 1978's televised "Star Wars Holiday Special". However, digging through the records at Skywalker Ranch, a different story emerges -- Fett had in fact made a public appearance nearly two months before the Holiday Special on a scorching hot day in the streets of San Anselmo, a small town just north of San Francisco.
至于波巴·费特的第一次公开亮相，传统上认为，是在1978年电视台播出的《星球大战假日特辑》里，他以动画人物的形式第一次在观众跟前亮相。但是，深入挖掘天行者农场的档案后，一个不同的故事浮出水面——事实上，差不多早在《假日特辑》播出的两个月前，费特就已经在一个炽热的日子里公开亮相了，地点是在旧金山北部的一个小镇——圣安塞尔莫的大街上。
Marching alongside Darth Vader before droves of spectators at San Anselmo's Country Fair parade on September 24, 1978, an unsuspecting press photographer snapped what is likely the very first public image of the intergalactic bounty hunter, plastered the following day across the front page of San Rafael's Independent Journal newspaper. Though the scene-stealing Vader (manned by Kermit Eller) had grand-marshaled the parade and consequently grabbed most of the press (Boba wasn't even mentioned in the story), the Fett costume must have struck many as exotic, battle-worn, and downright intimidating, which, of course, was the whole point.
1978年9月24日，在圣安塞尔莫的乡村集市游行中，一个可靠的摄影记者拍下了看来是这个银河系赏金猎人的第一张公众照片，当时他在成群观众面前走在达斯·维达的旁边，第二天，这张照片就贴在了圣拉斐尔市的报纸《独立报》的头版。虽然夺人眼球的维德（由克米特·埃勒装扮）是游行的大礼官，并因此抢占了报道的绝大部分篇幅（报纸上甚至没有提到波巴），但肯定有许多人注意到了那身怪异、战痕累累、极具威慑感的费特装束，当然，这才是本文的重点。
Costume Design
服装设计
According to Empire's "making of" book, Once Upon a Galaxy, Boba Fett's character had originally emerged from that of Darth Vader:
根据《帝国反击战》的“制作”系列之一，《曾经的银河系》一书，波巴·费特的形象最初是从达斯·维达这个角色里脱离出来的：
"I wanted to develop an essentially evil, very frightening character," said Lucas of Vader. "He started as a kind of intergalactic bounty hunter, evolved into a grotesque knight, and as I got deeper into the knight ethos he became more a dark warrior than a mercenary... I split him up and it was from the early concept of Darth Vader as a bounty hunter that Boba Fett came."
“我想塑造一个本性邪恶，非常吓人的角色，”卢卡斯谈到维达时说，“起初他是个星际赏金猎手，然后转变成怪诞的武士。当我一步步加重这种武士气质后，他变得更像黑暗战士，而不是雇佣兵……我把他分裂开来，达斯·维德作为赏金猎人的早期概念催生出波巴·费特。”
Borne of Vader, Fett required an equally villainous look, but something a bit less conspicuous. Designing Fett's signature helmet, armor, and accoutrements fell primarily to Joe Johnston, who worked in tandem with Ralph McQuarrie to come up with the bounty hunter's distinctive look. Far removed from the black-on-black wardrobe of Vader, early concepts for Fett clad the bounty hunter in white, possibly a vestige of his "Super Trooper" origins. This all-white Fett was actually the first costume produced for the character, officially unveiled to Lucasfilm insiders in a screen test shot on June 28, 1978 (you can view part of that original screen test here).
费特源自维德，所以同样需要邪恶的外表，但又不能太引人注目。设计费特标志性头盔、护甲和装备的任务主要落到了乔·约翰斯顿身上，他与拉尔夫·麦夸里联手构思这个赏金猎人与众不同的外表。与维德一身黑的装束不同，在费特的早期概念里，该赏金猎人一身白。这大概是其“超级冲锋队员”出身的残留。费特所穿的这一身白实际上是为这个角色制作的第一套服装，1978年6月28日在一段试镜镜头里正式向卢卡斯影业的内部人士披露（你可以在这里观看这段原始试镜的片段）。
In the 20-minute black and white video, sound designer Ben Burtt "hosts" Fett's reveal for Lucas and crew, describing the different weapons, functions, and characteristics of the costume (worn by Empire's assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham for the test). The somewhat amusing footage depicts Fett with a mocked-up laser rifle (which used a lightsaber hilt for the barrel) and a Star Wars beach towel doubling as the bounty hunter's tattered serape.
这段20分钟的黑白录像片由音效设计师本·伯特“主持”，他向卢卡斯及工作人员展示了费特，介绍了这套（由《帝国反击战》助理电影剪辑师杜韦恩·邓纳姆为试镜穿戴的）服装的不同武器、功能和特点。在这组有点好笑的镜头里，费特拿着一把仿真激光步枪（用光剑握把做枪管），一条对折起来的“星战”沙滩巾成了这个赏金猎人破破烂烂的披风。
Even at this early stage, the plan was to give the costume a muted color scheme, visually placing the character somewhere between the rank-and-file stormtrooper and the fearsome Dark Lord of the Sith. "I painted Boba's outfit and tried to make it look like it was made of different pieces of armor," said Johnston in Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays. "It was a symmetrical design, but I painted it in such a way that it looked like he had scavenged parts and had done some personalizing of his costume; he had little trophies hanging from his belt, and he had little braids of hair, almost like a collection of scalps."
早在这一时期，创作人员就计划给这套服装安排一种柔和的色调，让角色在视觉上介于普通暴风兵与令人恐惧的西斯黑暗尊主之间。“我画出波巴的全套装备，力图让它看上去象是用盔甲的不同部分拼合出来的，”约翰斯顿在《星球大战：评注版剧本》中说，“这是一种对称式设计，不过我画出来的效果，让它看上去就象是波巴用搜集到的废旧部件，为自己度身定制了一套服装；他的腰带上挂着少许纪念品，还有一些小辫子，像极了收集来的带发头皮。”
Fett's new color scheme was at least partially revealed in "The Star Wars Holiday Special", which aired on November 17, 1978. Animators at Nelvana Studios simplified the costume's palette a bit by painting the character in various shades of blue and green (a scheme which was repeated for Fett's post-trilogy cameo in 1985's Droids cartoon series). The Holiday Special introduced Fett as a friend of the Rebels, but was soon found to be in secret collusion with Darth Vader. His true colors revealed (in more ways than one), Fett was now primed to be the next major villain introduced in the Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back.
费特的新色彩设计至少在1978年11月17日播出的《星球大战假日特辑》中得到了部分展示。内尔瓦纳制作室的动画设计师们以不同深浅的蓝色和绿色绘制人物，将服装的主色调稍稍简化了一下（在1985年的《机器人》卡通系列中，费特继三部曲之后短暂露面，这个色彩设计被再次运用）。《假日特辑》介绍费特是义军的朋友，但不久他就被发现暗中勾结达斯·维德。他（在不止一个方面）露出了真面目，现在，费特已经准备好成为由《星球大战》续集《帝国反击战》引入的下一个主要反派人物。
Pre-Empire Publicity
《帝国反击战》公映前的宣传
With the Fett out of the bag, the costumed bounty hunter now took his show on the road, visiting department stores, malls, and special events as Vader's enigmatic accomplice. Like Vader, Fett signed early black and white photos (as "Boba") and posted "WANTED" flyers to publicize his role as a bounty hunter, separate and distinct from a soldier of the Empire.
随着费特的无意中亮相，这个全副武装的赏金猎人现在开始出现在大街上，他访问百货商店，购物中心，作为维德的神秘帮凶参加特殊活动。和维达一样，费特在早期的黑白照片上签名（以“波巴”的名义），张贴“悬赏”传单，以宣传自己的角色是一个赏金猎人，把自己和帝国士兵区分开，表示自己和他们截然不同。
In the summer of 1979, members of the Official Star Wars Fan Club got a glimpse of Boba Fett on the back page of the club's newsletter, Bantha Tracks. Describing Fett as a bounty hunter who "wears part of the uniform of the Imperial Shocktroopers, warriors from the olden time," the seeds were sown to breed rampant speculation about the origin and identity of the mysterious mercenary.
1979年夏，《星球大战》官方影迷俱乐部的成员在俱乐部通讯《班萨足迹》的封底瞥见波巴·费特。费特被描述为一个赏金猎人，“身穿古代战士——帝国突击部队的部分盔甲”，这样，疯狂推测该神秘雇佣兵出身和身份的种子就被播下了。
Continuing the momentum of pre-Empire publicity for the character, Kenner launched the Boba Fett action figure as part of their second series for 1979. The figure had famously lost its much-publicized spring-loaded rocket-firing feature before release, due to fears of a choking hazard found in a similar toy line. A 13-inch version of Fett was released around the same time, and, like the final costume, underwent slight modifications to its paint scheme before going into production.
为了继续《帝国反击战》公映前这个角色的宣传势头，肯纳推出了波巴·费特活动人偶，作为1979年第二系列的一部分。非常出名的是，这个人偶放弃了在上市前大肆吹嘘的弹簧支撑火箭发射装置，因为肯纳担心它会像一个类似的玩具产品一样导致儿童窒息。差不多在同时，一个13英寸版本的费特也上市了。跟最终的装束一样，投产前，这款玩具的色彩设计也经历了些微修改。
By the time Empire rolled out of theaters in May, 1980, fans were well-aware that Fett would be making an appearance in the hotly-anticipated sequel. They may have been surprised, however, by the small amount of screen time given to a personality which had been trumped up by Lucasfilm for nearly two years. Though Fett's character suffered cutbacks in script rewrites, the ultimately short amount of time he spent on screen probably helped bolster the mythos which surrounds him. With so little revealed about the "galaxy's best bounty hunter," fans were allowed to fill in the details, making for a much more evocative and intriguing character. And with the filmed saga now complete, there seems to be no waning of interest in Boba Fett, whose character effectively embodies the danger and mystery found in the darker corners of the Star Wars universe.
1980年5月，当《帝国反击战》在剧院公映时，影迷们已经很清楚费特会在这部万众期待的续集里出场。不过他们也许会惊讶，卢卡斯影业花了近两年时间宣传的角色却只有这么点银幕时间。虽然费特的戏份在剧本重写时被缩减了，但最终他在银幕上出现的短暂时间也许有助于强化围绕着他的神话色彩。由于有关这个“银河系最出色赏金猎人”的披露信息如此之少，因此影迷们可以填补细节，形成一个更能引发共鸣，更加神秘的角色。现在，随着电影传奇的完成，对波巴·费特的兴趣似乎并未消退，这个角色成功体现出在星战宇宙更黑暗角落里建立起来的那种危险而神秘的气息。
