Well, upon closer examination, it appears that boba fett's backpack is
actually attached to his helmet. Look closely and you'll see this, it's
similar to the sword holders attached to the ninja cowls in the ninja theme.
I hope i'm mistaken, but you can see that the backpack's mold forms up into
the helmet. This kind of sucks, but the figure does look pretty damn cool
upon first looking at him. They could have revived the original jet packs
included in classical space for the minifigure, but would have had to alter
it. They're probably saving money by making one molded helmet piece rather
than designing and producing two different pieces.
