A pair of Star Wars cosplayers put a new spin on one of Han Solo and Leia Organa's memorable Return of the Jedi moments.
Though the photo of the Star Wars fans is several years old, it routinely resurfaces on social media and started making the rounds once again recently. In it, a female cosplayer is dressed as Han Solo in a crop-top, and a male cosplayer standing beside her sports Leia's "slave" bikini from when she was held captive by Jabba the Hutt.
The timing of the photo's resurgence is certainly impeccable, as it began cropping up again just before the premiere of Disney+'s The Book of Boba Fett, which explores the fallout of Return of the Jedi. Specifically, it deals with the aftermath of Boba Fett being knocked into the sarlacc pit by Han Solo while also exploring his new role as the ruler of the late Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire on Tatooine. Rumor has it Harrison Ford might even reprise his role as Han in The Book of Boba Fett, albeit as a digitally de-aged version of the fan-favorite scoundrel.
"I really hope that they want to go back and see the whole thing over again in a different light after, you know, knowing how things have -- I'm so careful with my words here, how things have evolved, and all these other elements that have come into play," Fennec Shand actor Ming-Na Wen recently explained when asked about the conclusion of The Book of Boba Fett. "You know, that's what's so great with [producers] Jon [Favreau] and Dave [Filioni]. They are so knowledgeable about this world, about Star Wars, and they're such huge fans that they know how to set up the pieces and make moves that you don't even know are coming... And then suddenly it's like [claps her hands together] ooh, checkmate. So yeah, we're waiting. We're waiting for that win. We're waiting for that hit. And not just 'til the very last episode, like each and every episode there's new moves and new elements that come into play that hopefully will surprise the fans. I know it surprised me."
New episodes of The Book of Boba Fett debut Wednesdays on Disney+.
