In fact many of the early designs, before they were really assigned and refined into any of the bounty hunters of these articles, became new alien species and characters in that show.ĭespite the sketch of McQuarrie, the movie prop was mostly done from the imagination of Bill Hargreaves, who was the supervising prop maker. While the original droid that he had designed was a lot more bulkier, that design ended up being used in ‘ Rebels’ as the IG-RM, with the RM in its name standing for Ralph McQuarrie.

When dealing with the entire line-up of bounty hunters, Ralph McQuarrie quickly decided that one of them should be a war robot of some kind. In this week’s Part 2, we look at the remaining, and equally interesting, bounty hunters: IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss. Last time we delved into the creation of the bounty hunters Boba Fett, Bossk and Dengar and their journey from concept to screen.

From behind the scenes to source and merchandise, we go in-depth to hopefully show you the movie in ways you have never seen it before. This year is the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, and like last year’s celebration of The Phantom Menace, Fantha Tracks will be covering this movie with a couple of articles.
