Your heroes Boba and Jango

[WolfKnightDD]

Is actually trying to fight mace windu, most skilled swordsman in the galaxy being a wuss? He could have ran... I guess hes as honorable as a jedi. And Jango was kicking obi wan too. He was using melee combat. Couldn't you do that with out armor?

[Redwing]

Barring all these useless arguments about how different people rate on the "cool" scale"

 

Pick one non-Force user in the Star Wars universe who can hold their own against a Jedi Master, besides Jango Fett.

 

That's what I thought.

 

Get over it.

[C'jais]

For starters, all i'm saying is that most starwars nuts makes boba and jango something they're not. They're not uber leet.

 

Of course the villains in starwars cannot win the war, but they sure can win the battle. Just watch episode 1+2+5 and tell me if it was the bad guys who got their asses kicked.

 

As for boba (who started it all, and gave birth to his father), well, he was no great villain. Just look at greedo, he played an equally great part in the movies, why didn't he get elevated to uber-ness? Sure, boba found the millenium falcon, but lucas just needed a small fish to fill that plot part, and after that boba didn't do anything, except dying in the sarlaarc and showing off his cool jetpack.

 

As for Jango "holding his own" against obi-wan i just got the impression that he was dragging out the fight with his gadgets and rockets. If only Jango had had his blaster and wasn't being helped by some huge blastercannons, they'd never had got into a melee without the sabre. Oh, and Obi wiped his ass in melee, even though he didnt have his lightsabre.

 

The bottom line is: The fetts play such a small part of the movies that they never get to develop *any* sort of personality, besides being the stereotypical disposable small villain. And people love them for it. *That* I find weird.

O.K.

 

STOP

 

In ESB Boba Fett was so cool. Everyone loved him. But they also loved Lukes Duel with Vader.

 

Why can't we all love the cool Mandlore bounty hunters and the sleek deadly agile Jedi?

 

 

[C'jais]

Okay, I'll stop...

 

But, now i just want someone to tell why they think that boba was oh so cool in ESB. Maybe it's just my taste in body armor and werid helmets that doesn't get along with the rest of you, i don't know...

[MotionMan]

Bobba fett was an insignificant charecter, that people made significant for some reason. Maybe it was because vader said"No more disintigrations". Who knows.

Jango was brought in cause of the popularity of bobba i think.

I have nothing against them. They are cool charecters but not to the degree some of people make them out to be.

 

Anyhow they are no match or have ever been a math for a jedi. Even with all their gadgets and guns:cool:

[Twinstar02]

Sorry, I was not intending this as a jedi vs. bounty hunters thing.

 

I simply meant that the Fetts on their own merits are really wussy.

 

Neither of them accomplish anything in the real Star Wars universe (not the EU bs which makes me cringe).

 

Boba didnt even capture Han Solo, Vader did. All Boba did was stand around and look cool and apparently that is enough for some people.

 

Jango didnt "go up against the most powerful jedi (mace windu)", he was what we call..in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing noble or honorable about it. If he could have avoided that encounter altogether im sure he would have, but they were not expecting ANY jedi to show up. And its not like there was much of a fight, he just got his head chopped.

 

His fight with Obi-Wan was a joke too. He took some cheap shots, flew away with his jet pack, more cheap shots...etc. until finally having to flee anyway after his best efforts.

Oh I forgot , Jango DID manage to take a cheap shot and get a Jedi in the back I guess thats worth something.
