Kanubis Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I never, never got why this guy was so popular. Here's some reasons: 1) He gets killed (okay, expanded universe, indigestible armour blah blah... lets forget that for now) by a half-blind guy with his arms tied to his side. 2) That scream as he flies into the Sarlacc. Come on, cool characters don't scream like that! (Although Palpatine didn't sound too masculine as he fell, I guess.) 3) From what I've gathered from AOTC so far, he is the first clone, which means he came from the same stock as early Stormtroopers. You know why he even was vaguely cool, and better than the other non-force using bad guys. Because daddy left him some swanky armour and a decent ship. That's all. I mean, even Jar Jar could do well in Madalorian armour. Conclusion: It's the armour that people dig, not the person. By the way, before you expanded universe (which I do follow) people start quoting the books, keep in mind that Lucas has basically given Boba a completely different origin to that described in the novels. Guess which one I consider canon? I will now brace myself for the backlash..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestril Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Yeah you're gonna get burnt to a crisp soon, I imagine, but I agree, Boba Fett is just garnish, the only useful thing he does is find Han and I have some interesting theories as to why that is. I'll post 'em later if neccessary hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba is an exact dupilicate of Jango. Clonetroopers/stormtroopers are not. ....Oh yes and stfu! j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Legolas Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Boba Fett looks awesome. But Jango Fett looks even better. this is only to do with asthetics though. They might be the ebst of the bounty hunters, but they are no match for a Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrEEpaGe Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 One of the reasons that he is so unwarrantingly popular is because of his uniqueness. For one, Jedi are MUCH cooler than Boba and his DNA source. In a battle, Jedi could quite easily beat Boba or Jango. Before I get yelled at that Obi-Wan got his 4ss kicked, I would just like to point out that he did NOT. Anyway, even though the Jedi are much better than Jango, people like the two bounty hunters because of their equipment and their profession. Who wouldn't love to become a bounty hunter? Given the proper equipment (equal to Jango or Boba's), any Jedi (and probably many Padawans) would make very short work of the 'elite' bounty hunter. If you don't like it, I don't care, because many people don't like the truth. It is my opinion; it's a coincidence that that opinion is correct. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
