Vestril Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Boba Fett is now the clone-son of one Jango Fett, an impressive and skillful bounty hunter (whose reputation had better be supported in the upcoming film!). Jango Fett is one of the survivors of the infamous warrior-tribe known as the Mandalorian 'shocktroopers', who were supposedly all but wiped out by the Jedi Knights in yet another one of their fanatical purges of 'evil' from the galaxy. Boba Fett is a clone? Awwwwww nuts, it really did look like a father son thing, especially with Zam all up in it, are you sure?? 6) Neither Luke nor Boba Fett screams like a girl when they fall to their possible demise. 7) And last, but not least... In the scene where Jabba's sail barge is destroyed, and the skiffs containing our heroic troop speeds off to the horizon and an uncertain destiny, a solitary armoured figure rises up in the foreground, brushing the sand and slime from his shoulder plates, and watches the skiff depart into the distance. The figure then looks to the sky, bends slighty forward, and then rockets away on a fine trail of white smoke! Yeehaah! AS for 6 c'mon, Luke just had his had cut off and found out that his father was not a hero, but one of the most sinister villains EVER, I mean, imagine if you found out that your dad wasn't Indiana Jones, but was in fact Hitler...man that would SUCK. And Boba Fett...the man just got killed by a blind man who had been frozen in Carbonite for months at a time...you'd scream too To 7...not a bad thought, but when you think about it, Boba Fett just got sentenced to 1000 years of pain and suffering (how exactly does it let you live for 1000 years???), that's some pretty badassed closure, he jost got it worse than Vader OR the Emperor, if you ask me it's overkill...

anubus134 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 (this may have been said before but I'll say it again)Boba Fett isnt a clone, he will be seen as a child with his father Jango in episode 2, and if i recall, he will fight off some people in order to save his father. Also in the Starwars Essential guide to characters, Boba Fett is said to have emerged from the Sarlacc pit and was found by the bounty hunter Dengar. That story is also in the bounty hunter book written awhile ago. Just because you never saw him do anything doesnt mean he sucked, you never saw Han smuggle a damn thing, but he was supposed to be some bad assed smuggler.

SharaFett Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 ok i dont post replies but i gotta say something here: i find boba fett 2 b great because of the way he was placed in the classic trilogy throughout the trilogy, there was a mystical air to him- a sense of fear of all the people around him. the confident way he held his blaster at jabba's palace in rotj just makes u grin...how he falls to his "demise" in the sarlaac is almost ironic- just the way lucas wanted it to be. just imagine. the toughest guy in the galaxy falling to his supposed death through a stupid stupid accident. it's gotta make u laugh. but it shouldnt make u look down on boba fett. he is, in every form of the word, "the man." oh and about 1 of the previous off-topic replies, i think it's fitting that episode 1 is cg. this is because the classic trilogy SHOULD have a grimy feel to it, but the new trilogy should have a lavish and romanesque feel to it- a feel that was beautifully portrayed in episode one with naboo and a feel that will be beautifully portrayed in episode 2. and who knows? maybe jar jar wasnt such a bad idea after all. if he evolves into a more serious character and a leader in episode 2 will make you look back on jar jar in ep. 1 and appreciate the movie as a whole much more. and please. dont flame me.

RabidPlatypus Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 boba fett died by bad luck, just like a jedi could die by bad luck. If you watch the movie again you would notice boba fett was doing a pretty damn good job taking down Luke until Han lands a lucky shot on him.

Vestril Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Just because you never saw him do anything doesnt mean he sucked, you never saw Han smuggle a damn thing, but he was supposed to be some bad assed smuggler. Han smuggled Obi Wan, himself and Luke onto the death star, and he did a damned good job of it (you could say it was Obi Wan's idea, but you never really know, they don't shwo how they think up their plan for hiding on the ship). Boba Fett, who is supposed to be fighter extrodinaire got taken down by a lucky shot...c'mon, I mean that's just sloppy, sure, it could happen to you or I, but to someone who's supposed to be a badass? Apparently he doesn't know how to guide the rocket pack... Seriously, the guy is just eye candy--we see him in action one time and he gets taken down by a crippled guy without any cool armor, and he never does a good job of taking on Luke, he tries to snag Luke and Luke cut's his little rope. I think Boba Fett's real backstory is that he's a daddy's boy how tries to build off Jango's rep, but he's really a screwup, remeber Darth acting so condecendingly to him? He treats him like a foul-up that he has to put up with cause his dad helped create the Empire...I mean, he treats everyone else like they're good, but he feels the need to tell Boba Fett not to vaporize the prey. The way I see it the 'tracking' he did in ESB was just dumb luck--see, the Imperials played a practical joke on him and made him park his ship in with the garbage, and when they dumped the garbage we miss some Fett dialogue 'Jeepers, all of these other bounty hunters are just floating away, I'll follow that guy...it must be Bossk, he's goooooood' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubus134 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 you call that smuggling? they hide in hole! they would have been found if somebody had stayed inside the ship and kept them from being able to get out, before those guys with the scanners showed up. Besides, it wasnt luck or being a sucky fighter that made Fett lose, it's the fact that if he had killed them, it wouldnt have been much of a movie, all I'm sure about is that he isnt dead. Vader was nice to people?mabey if chocking people to death because they cant change the stituation is nice. Like I said though, this guide to characters says Fett is one of the best, it also mention Darth Vader refereing to him as " The best bounty hunter ever." mabey his apperance in episode 2 and mabey 3 will tell of he is good or bad....just gotta wait I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakobud Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 EPISODE II SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what you guys are thinking. Some of you are saying that Boba is Jango's son....no this is not true. If you have checked out any of the script or story line (http://www.theforce.net) from Episode II, you will see that Count Dooku's (and ultimately the Chancellor's) plan is that he creates a clone army to go against the republic. ALL the clones are clones of Jango Fett, because Jango is the most baddass bounty hunter around, therefore all the clones will be badass. So then the VERY first clone off the production line is....Boba Fett. Count Dooku give Boba to Jango as a gift. So no, Boba is not Jango's son. He is a clone of him. But yes, he treats him like a son I'm sure. Jakobud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Vader was nice to people?mabey if chocking people to death because they cant change the stituation is nice. Well that was actually a joke, but my point was this: since Jango Fett was apparently a big part of getting the Empire set up (and you have to figure that Palpatine is manipulating all sides here) the Emperor makes Vader put up with Fett, like he's a dopey nephew or something--please don't bother to point out the illocicalness of this, it's a joke though I still see no evidence in Star Wars that Fett is a badass, yes I know all about EU, I'm just talking about the films.

RpTheHotrod Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 I'm going to sum up why Boba Fett was one of the most famous characters in the Star Wars Series... He was a new, unique, "cool" character that was removed from the series before his character got too "old" and familiar. There you have it, boys and girls get some sleep!

Johner Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Originally posted by [Fallen]Ntrope Boba Fett, one of the most praised and beloved characters in the Star Wars universe, but few actually ask why. Sure he hid in a pile of junk and then tailed the Falcon, discovering its plans to set down in Cloud City. But then what does he do, he cries to the Imperial Army to come back him up. So far we've got rudimentary skills any two-bit bounty hunter may possess...So where do you ask does the vaunted expertise of Boba Fett shine? To answer simply...nowhere - Aside from striking a dangerous pose while standing behind the real deal Darth Vader, Fett does little else in Cloud city other than direct the carbonite-frozen body of Solo into his ship and fly away. But you ask, he is such a prime figure in all Star Wars dicussion, he surely must amaze in Jedi! To answer that, sadly, its another no. Boba finally gets his chance, aside from a head-nod cameo (And later added scenes which we will not discuss since they are NOT part of the movie Return of the Jedi, but rather some sick parody added on for the sake of exuse of release. (( And while we're on that, Solo DID fire first)) ) Anyway, returning to the base of the discussion, we have Boba, Jabba's nasties and assorted other scum verses a blind Han, a pretty able bodied Luke, a half-nude princess and a wookie. Surely with these odds Boba captured them all again and retrieved 5 times the bounty...Wrong again. He gets his ass whupped by a blind captain Solo and gets munched by a burp-tossing hole in the ground to be slowly eaten for thousands and thousands of years....Ha! And no - he didn't escape and fry the sarlac, as some accounts wish you to believe...he was digested and died a pitiful death, at the hands of one of the true heros of Star Wars - Han Mo-fokin' Solo. To wrap this nonsensical rant up, Boba Fett looked cool, but couldn't perform, basically he sucked then, and he sucks now. /rant off Ntrope While I like Boba Fett and disagree with some of what you say....I'd still like to say some bad things about him His REAL debut in Star Wars was on a really ****ty Star Wars cartoon. What a bad start. To make matters worse he's going to be that retarded kid that ruins almost every movie (IE Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 2, Jurassic Park 3, The Mummy Returns, Enemy At The Gates, 13 ghosts, STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE ETC ETC ETC you get the idea ).

Vestril Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Actually from what little I've seen and heard Boba Fett may actually be pretty cool in Ep 2, or at least not as tragically uncool as some others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Legolas Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 If Boba Fett survives because of the short story in one of those novels... Boba Fett's armor was only DELAYING the digestion... it was being eaten away and parts had already been disintergrated and parts of him WAS being digested. Boba Fett escapes yes... but from memory he now has a cancer, and I am sure one of his legs is really screwed up now cos of the Sarlac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense but EVERYTHING can survive in all these cooky novels/comic books ETC ETC ETC Don't get me wrong I know that some of these (or maybe legally all of them need to be) "official" but I really don't think they are official when it comes to the movies (my version of official ) FURTHERMORE, Lucas said that Star Wars has NINE EPISODES (3 after return of the jedi). Therefore unless all those novels right after and so on were writtin by George Lucas, they mean nothing. I don't know if their will be 3 episodes after ROTJ (for real life reasons but Lucas's work will probably be shown after he dies or whatever. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anything that GL doesn't put into the movies is definitely not cannon, so any unpublished stuff found after his death would be interesting but pointless (perfect example would be Splinter of the Minds Eye, which I recently learned was based on a storyline GL rejected for Star Wars...). So until something in the movies contradicts something in the books, what is in the books remains viable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungalow Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Why not just shoot around with his Blaster Rifle. And Boba Fett can't shoot for ****, at Cloud City when Luke was running after Fett and the frozen Solo; Fett's blaster shots didn't even come close to hitting Luke. Isn't this dude supposed to be the best, how come the best has such ****y aiming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY_jmr1 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 maybe he was useing some type of imp supplyed E-11 carbine rifle? ever noticed that NOBODY can aim very well in SW? :D the garbige mashers come to mind(SHOOT IT!!!!

RoyalGuard Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 FURTHERMORE, Lucas said that Star Wars has NINE EPISODES (3 after return of the jedi). Therefore unless all those novels right after and so on were writtin by George Lucas, they mean nothing. Actually Lucas 'cordoned-off' the areas he wanted to base his movies around, and let sci-fi writers fill in the rest. Hence no novels on Palpatine's rise to power before the films, and no novels about the Emperor's rebirth (I know that the dark empire series covered this section of the SW timeline, but Lucas can easily ride roughshod over a comic book). Lucas seems to like keeping palpatine's and the skywalker's stories to himself, so it seems logical that if he were to get round to episodes 7, 8 and 9, he'd do them around this period. I hope that you find time to enjoy the novels regardless of your opinion on whether or not they are canon, as the vast majority of them are very well written. And Boba Fett can't shoot for ****, at Cloud City when Luke was running after Fett and the frozen Solo; Fett's blaster shots didn't even come close to hitting Luke. Boba Fett was well aware that Vader wanted Luke alive, he wasn't about to shoot himself in the foot (metaphorically speaking of course) by annoying a Dark Lord of the Sith!
