Lecter 66 Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 In Return of the Jedi Boba Fett fell to his demise in the Sarlacc Pitt, when Han Solo shot down his jetpack He also appeared in Dark Forces as the enemy of Kyle Katarn before his death. So how in the name of Yoda can he appear in Jedi Acadmey after his death, when it was obvious he died?
iamtrip Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 That Robert Fett, his long lost, unmentioned twin. MORE SPOILER ALERTS IN THIS THREAD!!!!!!
Doomie Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Don't mind trip, he's a little weird... In the Expanded universe, (Wich is anything starwars that isn't the movies) Boba Fett blasted himself out of the Sarlacc pit. Wether you want to accept this as true is up to you.
Tinny Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 chewbacca (leader of the emerging sith movement) resurructed him with some voodoo and raw chicken.
acdcfanbill Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 actually, i think his name is Roba Fett, unless Robert is his given name or something... anyway, its called 'put a cool charcter in the game who cares if it works with the whole star wars storyline' mechinism for building games
PR-0927 Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Gah!! They are just confusing you!! The answer is: Boba Fett threw grenades at the Sarlaac Pit, almost got digested, but then got rescued by one of late Jabba's dancers, who ended up being a memory-erased Kuat Royal Family Member. You can read about it in the Bounty Hunter Wars Series.
Neverhoodian Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 As for Fett appearing in DF, the game takes place in between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, when Boba's still alive and well. Yes, what Majin Revan said is true; Boba doesn't die in the Expanded Universe (EU). Personally, I think many EU stories are a load of crap, and I believe that Fett met his end in the belly of the Sarlaac. Still, that doesn't stop me from playing JA. I just let myself believe that it's another bounty hunter or a Remnant assassin masquerading as Fett. After all, the AI for Fett is pretty darn stupid. He certainly doesn't seem like the deadliest bounty hunter in the galaxy when he's not even trying to dodge your return fire.
Nalukai Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 some comic i had right after they did the miniseries comics of return of the jedi showed him getting spat out because of the fuel in his jetpack didnt go well as a condiment with the sarlaccs meal

Boba's dead, Boba's alive, is an explanation really necessary? B: Most of the enemies in JA are similarly stupid, that's just the game.
iamtrip Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Is there such a thing as a stupid star wars plot? I mean, you're arguing that the Tavion, Desann and co. are less valid than a 3ft 100 year old gnome, a sword made of light and an invisible mystical force. Really... btw, it wasn't Roba Fett, definately looked like a Robert.
Alegis Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 wasnt there some story where the sarlacc chewed on his armour and then some other bounty hunter saved him while he lay in the desert or something
Doomie Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Aye, that it was, alegis. And trip, YES, Star Wars has a plot. and them being valid or not ahsn't got anything to do with believability as much as with GL saying if they're right or not.
iamtrip Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I mean you can't say "OMFGX I KNOW MORE ABOUT STAR WARZ AND DONT TAKE NOTICE OF JA ITS NOT CANON AND TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE" because its all as equally unbelievable and ludicrous.
BigBlueBoo Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 its not meant to be believable, i mean come on. there are tiny teddie bears taking down guys with guns, a guy shooting thunder out of his fingers, huge spaceships.
iamtrip Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 ....hence why you can't dismiss a certain parts as being stupid or silly (such as JA). Its all equally unbelievable.
Neverhoodian Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I think we all know that Star Wars is fictional, iamtrip. And since the entire series is a work of fiction, you can choose to believe anything you darn well please about it. After all, Obi-Wan said that "many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view." Heck, you see that regarding real world events in politics and the media. I don't see why people can't do that for a story that they know isn't real.
Kurgan Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 As far as Lucas is concerned, Fett died in the Sarlacc, he's said so himself. However, he recognizes that Fett (a big surprise to him when he was making the OT) is so popular the fans wanted more stories with him in 'em, so he approved Fett's return in the EU. Unfortunately there were a couple different versions of the "return" story, but oh well. This was at a time when the EU authors were still trying to hammer out a sort of consensus and communication so they wouldn't contradict each others' stories (well, not too much anyway). So Lucas really has it both ways. He's trying to please the fans while simultaneously having his own story. To prevent this sort of thing from happening again, when Lucas had Darth Maul fall into the pit, he made sure to have his body fly into two parts, so people would be sure to recognize that he was dead, and meant to stay dead. Killing off popular characters then bringing them back with a throwaway line is considered somewhat "cheap" in fiction, that's the only real valid objection to it.
jedispy Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Boba Fett threw grenades at the Sarlaac Pit, almost got digested, but then got rescued by one of late Jabba's dancers, who ended up being a memory-erased Kuat Royal Family Member. Boba Fett's armor protected him from the acid of the Sarlacc's belly. Dengar rescued him after he crawled out. Oh and Queen Amidala is your father. Think about it.
Xizor's killer Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Originally posted by iamtrip but noone gave a damn about darth maul. lol I gave a damn about Darth Maul. He put the cool in cool siths. I was glad to see Fett back I all ways believed that he flew out of it's stomach when the sarlacc opened his mouth
Crow_Nest Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Another bounty hunter saved him. But they didnt show it.
Xizor's killer Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest Another bounty hunter saved him. But they didnt show it. Surely it would be logical to let the best bounty hunter die so then someone else would be better?
Nalukai Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 but whos to say that Maul isnt Grievious?... muhahah
