TheSoupNazi Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 WTF? I always imagined Boba to always be a menacing killing machine, not some little latino kid who didn't show the slightest sign of evil in himself...For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's the portrayal of Boba as a child, maybe 6-7, in Episode II. It just doesn't remind you of him when you see him ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Yeah, but Jango Fett really makes up for it in bad-a$$ness that equals or even surpases that of B.A. Baracs of the A-Team. After viewing the first trailer I thought: "Great a love story, and Amalidala problaly wont even get nekkid." After viewing the second trailer I am totally stoked. Plus I think it's nice seeing Bobba as a kid, it's like a "Get to know your Bounty Hunter" segment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM_Third Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Even though he ends up dead . IT also makes Boba Fett pretty old, if he is Episode 2, when Anakin is a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrUeFoRcE Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 i agree, i pictured some silent but evil looking kid, one that would stare at you for no reason....that looks more american...not the latino kid.....but in all respect jango fett is latino looking so its kinda obvious his son would also.....if they got a new boba theyd need a new jango....

Vestril Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Did you expect him to come out of the womb with a freakin blaster in hand? lol Everyone was a kid at some point, and just because he looks like an innocent kid doesn't make him one, as I understand it he's already a bad little mofo...

CM_Third Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Look at Anakin skywalker, he didnt come out of the womb with a helmet on and a red lightsaber. He looks like a little weak kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Dom_Pmd] Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Boba Fett is 13 years of age in AOTC. (Btw, the actor is Australian) Latino??? ummm NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Just a little correction. Both actors, Temuera Morrison(Jango) and Daniel Logan(Boba) are from New Zealand. So, they definitely are not Latinos, but Maoris instead. Just rent "Once Were Warriors" and you will get an idea, how good actor Temuera really is, because it's his best movie.

Sartis Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 You can hardly call Boba Fett as kid timid without seeing his character portrayed. He may not look like he's a bad ass from some pictures of him, doesn't mean he doesn't have a mean streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4p3 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 ***SPOILER ALERT*** - - - - - - - - - according to some previews i've read, boba fett is actually a young clone of jango fett given to him by count dooku to raise as a son. boba becomes the evil s.o.b. his because he's mad about jango's (his "father's") death...

Fettish Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Just so you know, Boba Fett didn't die when he fell into the sarlac. Read this from starwars.com - Fett's armor and body were extremely battered by his ordeal in the Sarlacc. When he plunged into the beast, he was kept alive by numerous fibrous suckers which attached themselves to his body. This was part of the Sarlacc's horrible metabolic process; it would keep its prey alive for thousands of years, all the while slowly feeding off it. Fett almost lost his identity in the swirling dementia brought about by the Sarlacc's toxins. His resolve held, and he used his weapons to blast free of the beast. Naked, wounded, and defenseless on the sands of Tatooine, Fett was rescued by his fellow hunter Dengar, who nursed him back to health. Fett reclaimed his armor and his reputation, returning from the "dead," and again taking on bounties. It wasn't until six years after the Battle of Endor that Han Solo learned his nemesis was still alive. Although Fett still piloted his antiquated Slave I, he updated his arsenal with the ultrasleek Slave II. These were but the first two of his vessels, which would eventually number up to Slave IV. This is according to the expanded universe. The Star Wars novel "The Mandalorian Armor" tells the story of Boba's return, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan123 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Boba Fett...Elian Gonzalez? Eh? Wasn't he the kid who was shiped back to Cuba? Once Were Warriors is a cool movie. (It's on my list of the "Top 10 Best Movies That You Haven't Seen".) Temuera Morrison plays the massive, intimidating, aggressive father. If you've seen it, you'll know that he's is a good choice to play a bad-ass, intimidating bounty hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 It makes a better story that Boba isn't evil straight out of the womb or cloning chamber or whatever. This is called character development, to see the evolution and growth of a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Temuera Morrison .... Jango Fett Daniel Logan ............ Boba Fett These two people are both from NEW ZEALAND. Temuera is a Maori. I have not seen what Daniel looks like but if people are thinking he is latin or hispanic then he too is probably a Maori as well. And for those who have no idea what Maoris are... Maoris are the first people to live on New Zealand and are Polynesian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrondeath Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I almost suspect it of being a backlash of sorts from George Lucas for the reaction to Jar-Jar and Anakin in Episode I. "What, you don't like anthromorphic frog-people and cute little kids? You'd rather see Boba Fett? See how much you like him now! :p" But then, I'm paranoid.

eziz Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 FFS! I allways had the idea that mandalorians didn't look like humans! That fking does it, no more respect for them Fetts from my direction. Pfaf. I mean, when you've seen young Boba Fett, watching him in ESB and ROTJ just makes you laugh. (Not that I wouldn't laugh at Vader after seeing him as a kid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To yank a quote from LucasBooks' Chris Cerasi right out of its context: "When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves - and only the films." So there. And Boba Fett's dead, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantha-too-kay Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I have to agree with the SW Universe being limited to the films (when George Lucas start writing the non-tie-in novels I will read them). IMHO Boba Fett is alive and well and waiting to do some funky future stuff but obviously I can't prove it - I will just go with what is in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Welcome to the world of fan-fiction. Those novels may be formally published but they boil down to fan-fiction in my opinion. (Extreamly well written and exciting fan fiction I might add just to let you know I like them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
