Slipstreme Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Read this dude Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc with the help of Dengar. He is largely unharmed and resumes his career. Some of Boba Fett's character in the Expanded Universe is sometimes thought to have been compromised by revelations in Attack of the Clones, but the literature still manages to entertain and reveal aspects of Fett's life not discussed in the films. When Boba's clone origins were first revealed in 2002, they appeared to contradict a few Expanded Universe stories that had preceded them. Following the stunning revelation of Attack of the Clones, however, new Expanded Universe stories retconned the apparent discrepancies in Fett's past, smoothing out the minor contradictions that had arisen as a result of the film. In a young adult novel series set shortly after Attack of the Clones, Boba seeks out Darth Tyranus to claim the rest of his father's payment. He spends a short amount of time in the custody of the Sith Lord before venturing on his own to begin his career at an early age, already making modifications to both the Slave I and the Mandalorian armor inherited from his father. He meets his future employer Jabba the Hutt, fights the Separatist supreme commander General Grievous (and loses), and had several minor bounties under his belt before the age of thirteen. In the young adult series, "The Last of The Jedi", Boba Fett, at the early age of fourteen, is hired by imperial leader Inquisitor Malorum to investigate Padmé Naberrie's death at the request of Lord Darth Vader. Fett traveled to Polis Massa and Naboo to gather this information. Polis Massa is the small moon planet where Padmé gives birth to Luke Skywalker and Leia Skywalker-Organa shortly before her own death. We can only assume that Vader was not satisfied with the Emperor's explanation of Padmé's demise. In addition to this investigation, Fett is also commissioned to find and capture a former Jedi by the name of Ferus Olin. Ferus, recovering from a leg injury, is being protected by an old friend, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Fett and Kenobi battle from afar, but Fett doesn't get a good look at Kenobi and can never report to Malorum with any certainty the identity of this powerful Jedi. These events take place a year or two after Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. Boba Fett also makes a cameo appearance in The Unifying Force, the conclusion of the New Jedi Order series. In addition to The Unifying Force, Boba Fett is a prominent figure in the Star Wars novels, comics, and games. Initially, the novels reveal tidbits of Boba's past. Boba Fett is garbed in traditional Mandalorian armor with a string of Wookiee scalps at his shoulder and owns a variety of specially-modified starcraft bearing the names Slave I through Slave V. Despite his weapon-laden suit of armor, Fett is a subtle hunter and relies more on his cunning and intelligence than on pure muscle and combat skill. Speaking with a raspy, gravelly voice, Fett allows few to see his face and even fewer to know his origins, giving the hunter a mysterious aura and a psychological edge over his prey. Though Boba is a perfect genetic clone of Jango Fett, a different lifestyle has produced some changes from his father's appearance: while Jango was focused on combat skill, Boba's emphasis on wit over muscle has given him a thinner build. Even with the thinner build, Boba is usually operating at peak human strength (Boba has enough strength to hold his own against massively strong foes such as Bossk) as seen in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Boba's face remains hidden, but it is a given that he looks more or less like his father did, but beyond his actual features, Boba's face may have more or fewer scars, tattoos, or less facial hair. Even if Jango's face is well-known among fans, it only gives a very basic idea of what Boba may look like. There is a long-standing belief that Darth Vader and Boba Fett have an unspoken mutual respect for each other (ironically, Boba is eager to see Anakin die in the arena in Attack of the Clones). The bounty hunter is sometimes considered to be the closest thing Vader has to a right-hand man, even though Fett and Vader are at odds (with Fett questioning Vader over the carbonized Han Solo.) In the Enemy of the Empire story line (taking place a few years before A New Hope) Vader and Fett come to blows with a cask containing the decapitated-but still-living-head of an lcarii soothsayer is the prize. On Maryx Minor, Fett and Vader fight one-on-one for the cask, with Vader emerging the victor by only the slimmest of margins. In The Empire Strikes Back, Fett is seen questioning Vader in an informal manner, a deed which would probably get an Imperial officer strangled. Likewise, Fett holds a grudge against Han Solo. Few details are known, but Solo, along with Kyle Katarn, is among the only people to elude capture by Fett on multiple occasions. And, that is a good reason, for Fett is notorious for completely disintegrating those whom he has been hired to track down and kill. As revealed in the Star Wars Marvel comics series, Boba Fett is believed to have served with a group of Supercommandos from the planet Mandalore towards the end of the Clone Wars. According to reports, only three Mandalorians survive: Boba Fett, Tobbi Dala, and Fenn Shysa. However, it is later revealed that this "Boba Fett" is not Boba Fett at all, but a rogue ARC trooper, Alpha-Ø2, nicknamed Spar, who has become obsessed with returning the Mandalorians to their former glory. Spar becomes Mandalore, the traditional title given to the leader of the Mandalorians, and later becomes known as "Mandalore the Ressurector." Boba Fett plays a prominent role in the miniseries Dark Empire where it is revealed that he has survived the Sarlacc and continues his hunt for Han Solo. The story of Boba's first escape and recovery (there are three of them) is documented mainly in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy and the anthology book Tales From Jabba's Palace. Interestingly enough, Fett is found lying outside the Sarlacc pit by a fellow bounty hunter named Dengar, whom Boba had previously left to die earlier on in the novel Tales of the Bounty Hunters. Boba Fett also plays a prominent role in the comic book version of Shadows of the Empire and has had several comic book miniseries. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Boba Fett returns to the galactic scene as Mandalore, leading a new group of Mandalorian Crusaders and restoring their legacy to the galaxy.

Ztalker Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thanks, Slipstreme! I remembered hearing it soemwhere, but you confirmed it One more thing: I've heared a rumour somewhere Dartn Vader had Mandalorian Armor under his suit to protect the technologie. The Emperor did that because he had DV hunt every Jedi down. The profecy said by Kreia could be the clash between Luke and Vader. Would be cool......

Slipstreme Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 And if you want a bit of Mandalorian History Originally, the Mandalorian clans were led by the warlord "Mandalore the First" and were ranked amongst the best fighters in the galaxy, thriving for battle. They were known for their use of cutting-edge weaponry and held to a strict code of honor. They were a gray-skinned warrior race. These Mandalorians wore crusader armor that differed from one soldier to the next. The Neo-Crusaders were led by "Mandalore the Ultimate" and started the Mandalorian Wars. The Neo-Crusaders armor was more advanced and uniform-like than their old armor. It came in many colors, though most were blue. Elites, sergeants, and a few other ranks wore green. Captains (and other ranks) wore red. Some other ranks wore yellow. Canderous Ordo, who would later become Mandalore, wore a unique suit of silver and black armor. After their defeat in the Mandalorian Wars at the hands of the Jedi Revan and Malak, the Mandalorians went into a long decline. Canderous Ordo, who fought side by side with a redeemed Revan against Darth Malak during the Jedi Civil War, later claimed the rank of Mandalore and led a small remnant of his followers on the moon of Dxun. Ordo was also a key in defeating the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus on the battleship Ravager. Some one hundred years before the Battle of Ruusan, the leader of the Mandalorians was assassinated by the bounty hunter Durge. The Mandalorians struck back, and inflicted terrible vengeance upon the bounty hunter, but he managed to escape. Over the next few centuries the Mandalorians slowly transformed into a less clan-based, more mercenary-oriented culture. It was around this time that a schism occurred in their ranks. A violent splinter group, known as the Mandalorian Death Watch, revolted against the leadership of Jaster Mereel, who led the True Mandalorian loyalist faction. Eventually the civil war between these groups spilled on to the pastoral world of Concord Dawn. Here the Death Watch leader Vizsla attempted to murder Jaster. However, thanks to the assistance of a young orphan named Jango Fett, Jaster and his followers escaped the trap. Eventually, Viszla caught up to Jaster and the Mandalorians on a distant world and, thanks to the treachery of fellow Mandalorian Montross, Jaster Mereel was killed in battle. Jaster's protégé, Jango, took over the reins of leadership, despite Montross's disparaging comment that it would mean a "child leading them." Jango's tenure as Mandalorian leader ended at the Battle of Galidraan, where a Jedi taskforce under the leadership of Master Dooku led to the death of every remaining Mandalorian, except for Jango. After this disaster, the Mandalorians were effectively ended as a force in the galaxy. Individuals survived on both Mandalore and in other isolated pockets of known space, but they played little influence on galactic affairs until the Clone Wars, when Jango Fett became the host for a Grand Army of the Republic. One clone trooper, an elite ARC trooper named Alpha-Ø2, ended up going rogue and changing the Mandalorians forever. Through some fluke of the Kaminoans' cloning technology, Alpha-Ø2 had memories of Jango Fett. He went to Mandalore and started rebuilding the Mandalorian supercommandos from Mandalorian Protectors, police, and even Death Watchmen. Alpha-Ø2 became Mandalore the Resurrector and his forces fought for Confederacy of Independent Systems. Among his troopers were Tobbi Dala and future Mandalore Fenn Shysa. Twenty-six years after the Battle of Endor, the Mandalorians got a New Leader, Boba Fett, who became Mandalore after Fenn's death, and continuied the tradition of leading the Mandalorian Protectors. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Fett lead the Mandalorian Protectors in the defense of Mandalore and liberated numerous planet like Tholatin and Gyndine.

Ztalker Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 That explains a lot.... I personally didn't think it would end with Boba Fett. The armor of Jango was far to advanced etc. for a simple mercenary...honestly, i did think the Mandalorians would survive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipstreme Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Cool isn't it? The Mandalorians are a very interesting race, I have boat-loads of information about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterchief2491 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 wait a minute wat about your search for revan? when you say revan was evil at the begining it spawns the thing with bastila on koriban... the holo recording saying he suddenly left known space and if you said he went lightside then you run into carth on telos the second time... didnt anyone else get the implication that when you went lightside and you saw the ebon hawk go off that you went in search of revan??? also when you go darkside you never see the ebon hawk leave malachor V it just zooms out from the planet and the image fades. how does it work for if you went darkside then? the ebon hawk fell into the casm and it never came to pick you up... so how did you get onto it?

Jammey Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Although you already got a story sorted out, was wondering if since you are going to do actual gameplay where you visit the cities, would it be possible to say be on a new ship? You could use the Harbinger as an interior model maybe? The only problem would be the FMV that show the Ebon Hawk traveling to different planets ><. I just think it would be really cool and you'd have it suited up with a whole new crew, you'd be captain. Light-side it would be the republic, dark side you'd be the new sith. You'd be able to pick a new crew, and stuff, some from KOTOR 1 and some from KOTOR 2 with new ones who are just recruits from various planets. And you could name the ship whatever you wanted >_>. If your repulic(light side) you could try and do politics trading deals etc with the outer rim planets. If you were dark side you would just invade all the cities form sith acadamies etc. Yea ive gone WAY WAY WAY over the top. I can think of tons of ideas I just can't carry them out, I downloaded all the software that people said you need but then I was having trouble with doing something as simple as creating a new NPC. Oh yea Coruscant could be the new Republic/Sith base and Jedi/Sith council. And you could choose who would be on the council and if you were dark side you would want to dispose of anyone with light side tendencies. Public executions of Handmaiden and Carth for me xD and Atton and Visas would be members of the council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipstreme Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 How else do you think the Jedi were exterminated by the Clone's so easily? Thats why Dooku chose Jango, Jango and the Mandalorians are professinal Jedi Hunters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Ok guys you have seriously gotten way off topic of discussing the mod in progress by myself here.

Ztalker Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Sorry.... But don't you agree? It would be cool to see Mandalore trval to the Unknow regions, re-astablishing the Mandalorians again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susvaine Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I definately want Visas to return. My character was deeply in love with her... I also want to be able to recruit the Red Eclipse Trandoshan guy who pays you (at the Nar Shaddaa Cantina). Also I think a good planet to go to after Malachor V would be Tatooine, just because if you look, the game included many cool creatures such as Krayt Dragons, Rontos, Dewbacks, Banthas, and a few others (all Tatooine animals), and while they're all there and their models are intact, they weren't ever included in Kotor2. Just a few suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
