Since the release of the "Star Wars Special Edition trilogy", prequel trilogy and new films, he was frequently invited to science fiction conventions throughout the world, and was inducted as an honorary member of the 501st Legion costuming organisation in May 2002. Later, in November 2009, he actually joined the 501st as a costume-wearing member making appearances with the group as Boba Fett. Beginning in 2000, he was a frequent guest at the "Star Wars" Weekends (held annually at Disney's Hollywood Studios). In August 2018, Bulloch announced his retirement from attending conventions.
