Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed that his One Battle After Another character's look was inspired by an unlikely source: Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

The actor revealed that he personally picked out the sunglasses his character Bob wears over the course of the new movie, telling USA Today, "There's the weird Star Wars theme to this movie. I had this vision of these wraparound optical glasses like Boba Fett. Those are the ones I had to choose."

While Boba Fett doesn't quite wear sunglasses, Bob's shades are reminiscent of the bounty hunter's helmet. As for Bob, he's an ex-revolutionary who's dragged back into the fray to rescue his daughter from a corrupt military official – in wraparound sunglasses and a tatty red robe.
