A collection of Star Wars memorabilia, from action figures to key rings, a space helmet and even an original script, gathered over the years by the actor who played the bounty hunter Boba Fett, is to go up for auction.

Though he only made brief appearances in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett became a cult character and the British actor who played him, Jeremy Bulloch, diligently collected items relating to him.
