Vestril Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Bounty Hunters are not matches for Jedi, it's a sad but simple fact. Look at Mace Vs Jango, Jango just didn't stand a chance. Even with his rocket pack and Obi-Wan only trying to capture him he could only pull a stalemate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonKing Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Has to be Special Edition Greedo - hands down. Can't even hit a guy sitting motionless two feet in front of him. However after playing JK II I noticed that a lot of Rodians are expert snipers. Could be that the entire race is far sighted? DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX-Ender-Xx Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 The bounty hunters are good with weapons, what if they someone how got their hands on illegal weapons, ones that can't be stopped by anything including the lightsaber... I know it wouldn't be possible, but what if... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Obi-Wan can't block the Slave I's blasters with his Lightsaber, but he seemed to do ok. As long as they're dodging out of the way they're fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 We don't really know if Obi-Wan could've stopped Slave's Laser cannons or not, because he had dropped his saber when Jango's rocket exploded right in front of him. Greedo is the worst bounty hunter ever.....at least Zam was a good shot, i mean, she hit that droid that obi was hangin off of with one shot, and he was far away, moving fast, and in an erratic pattern. She also managed to hide a bomb inside Senator Amidala's ship, one big enough to completely destroy the entire ship. She wasn't horrible, it's just too bad she had to go up against Jedi. Greedo, however, at least in the original movies, he never got the shot off...Han just outsmarted him......in the special edition.....he missed COMPLETELY....it was horrible.

MotionMan Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 NON-Jedi's like bounty hunters coulnt use a weapon like a light saber. They could maybe use it as a normal sword like Han solo did. But eventually they would only hurt them selves. About Obi Wan blocking the cannon lazers from slave 1... Think about this: If a Jedi was present at the exact spot the Death Star- ray hit Alderan, He would have blocked it and saved the planet:cool: Im kidding of coarse. Standard lazers like the ones droids and people/aliens carry can be easily blocked. More high powerd lazer shots cant(ex. star fighters, AT-AT, Mounted cannons..ect.). Remember in Episode 1 when the Destroyer driods(droid D'ekas) attacked the queen and the Naboo guards? Their blasters couldnt penetrate their shields. BUT when Anakin was inside the star ship he easily blew them away with the more high powered ship cannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX-Ender-Xx Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 In Ep. II when Obi Wan was hanging on to that flying droid and Jango's assistant assassin was going to shoot him, how come she didn't shoot him instead of the droid? She had him right where she wanted him when he was defenseliss, i dont get why she didn't shoot HIM.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3toedtreesloth Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 imo boba fett would have to be a pretty poor bounty hunter. I mean, look at his hand-me-down armor and ship, both 20+ years old and in desperate need of a new paint job which he obviously can't afford. jango wasn't much better, the only reason he managed to get shiny new armor and ship was cos he let the kaminoans take a few of his cells so they could replicate him. He obviously realised he wasn't capable of killing padme and so handed the job off to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Im usually one of the first to bash Jango and Bobba. For the most part my argument always is... "A bounty hunter is no match for a jedi". Thats being said, I would like to defend Jango and bobba a bit:) Against a non jedi-The fetts could pretty much beat anyone in a hand/gun to hand/gun combat. Thats why they are reguarded as the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. Being bounty hunters doesnt automaticallyy make them bad guys. Bounty hunters work for who ever hires them, good or bad. About Bobba having hand me downs(suit and ship)-Can you blame Bobba for using his fathers armor and ship? He watched his father get decapitated. I asume that Bobba loved and admired his father very much. He wears his fathers armor proudly. Anyhow thats as much credit ill give to the fetts.

3toedtreesloth Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 k, first of all, that was a joke (mostly) and at least boba could have given his armor and ship a paint job, i mean come on, that's just poor taste in dressing himself, but i spose he didn't really have much feminine influence in his life so i spose its understandable. Or i spose the original trilogy was in the 70's and the grunge look was pretty popular back then (not that they knew what the word grunge was back then but i'm sure u know what i mean now).

Lime-Light Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 its different armour entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 No, not entirely. Granted, we don't know for sure about the armor differences, but we know that the armor does the exact same stuff and that it would definitely fit Boba because he's a clone. All that's left to discover is whether or not the armor was merely repainted. Oh btw, we KNOW that Boba's Jetpack is one of his father's. In RotJ he wears the same pack that Jango wears for the first half of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX-Ender-Xx Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 The only armor that boba has that was his fathers is his helmet and jetpack.... Why do you think he picked up his father's helmet in AOTC...because he uses it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was miles up in the air at the time.....and she didn't know that Anakin would be there, and that fall would have killed him, and if she would have shot him.he would have died....and then how would we explain his presence in ANH? As for Boba's armor.....If you look at pictures of the Fetts, their helmets have the same dent in the same place on the left side..... the chest armor is the same, the wrist armor is the same, and the jet pack is the same.....at least they look basically identical....i'm guessing that Boba probably painted it so it was more camoflaged.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. *shrugs* Maybe because if the council found a dead jedi with a blaster wounds through his head or chest (in addition to any damage received from falling) they would have been more likely to perform a full force search for the assassin. Whereas if he died just from falling, it's conceivable he died in an accident... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 True, he could have dodged a blaster bolt, but that droid wouldn't, so shooting it was a more guaranteed hit.....and nobody has any right surviving a fall from that high so Zam was pretty confident she had him finished...if she wasn't sure she wouldn't have gotten into her ship and flown away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jackal Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 In the AOTC novel, Zam DID fire at Obi-Wan before firing at the droid. Here's an exerpt: Zam reached into the speeder and pulled out a long blaster rifle, casually lifting and leveling. She fired off a series of shots, and explosions ignited all about the Jedi and the droid. Zam looked up from her sights, stunned to see that the crafty man had somehow avoided those shots, had dodged, or had, she mused, used his Jedi powers to deflect them. "Block this," the bounty hunter said, raising the rifle again. Taking aim at the Jedi's chest, she lifted the barrel just a bit and squeezed the trigger. The probe droid exploded. The Jedi plummeted from sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 A Jedi lightsaber can't block something that is BIGGER than it. The superlaser would have been far bigger than the Jedi him/or herself. Obi couldn't have blocked the blasts from Slave I because they were WAY BIGGER THAN HIS LIGHTSABER. "Deflect the superlaser and destroy the Death Star" indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
