Kent H Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Originally posted by obi-wan13 Well, I just don't trust the EU. They all are like mere huge fanfics to me. The only EU book I think goes along with the movies would be "Shadows of the Empire." Hey, don't get me wrong, I myself think that around half the novels are crap. The comics fare much better, only about 20-25% crap shows up there. But there are some stellar books as well. Namely anything by Timothy Zahn or Micheal Stackpole. Not to mention that Lucas used more than a few things from the EU when doing the Prequals and SE movies, such as Darth Maul saber, the Outrider, or similar ship and ASP droids at Mos Eisley in ANH SE, and Aayla Secura in AotC. And just in case anyone thinks I'm wrong, here's a quote: Things that Lucas Licensing does not consider official parts of the continuous Star Wars history show an Infinities logo or are contained in Star Wars Tales. Everything else is considered canon. -Sue Rostoni, Editor Lucasfilm Licensing in Star Wars Gamer 6, Oct/Nov. 2001 Issue pg113. Star Wars Gamer is/was (on "hiatus" due to low sales") a magazine that covered all Star Wars games - video/computer, rpg, card, as well as printing short stories by licensed authors, such as the aforementioned Timothy Zahn. The Infinities logo basically desgnates an alternate reality story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but even the Zahn stuff was crapped on by Episode II, re-read it sometime, you'll find that his outline of the Clone Wars was WAY off. Sorry, but ever since Lucas said 'I'll roll over EU if I want, EU hasn't counted for anything. If you want some more proof, ask yourself who Journeyman Protecter Jaster Mereel was...(or however you spell it:p). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Boba Fett manages to survive the whole 6 movies, I think that should up his credibility some. Both Fetts died like bitches so it is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Doo Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Just some info: THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!!!! But i think Jango would win, bcuz he has better equipement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Doo Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Ok, Obi-wan is about 5'7", and Jango, is at least five inches shorter. Inexplicably Boba, seems to be a lot taller than his clone. So I'll go with Boba, Jango's just an ankle biter. Both the fetts are 1.83 meters. OF COURSE, THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Fetts died like bitches so it is irrelevant. Considering the time period between Ep1 and 2, and Boba's age, he wasn't even cloned and kicking in Ep1. And EU is not Cannon. Example - the jedi younglings are trained on ships? No, on Coruscant. Clone Wars are waaaay off. Death Star created by Maw installation scientists? Hell no. I like the EU, but I don't count it as cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Doo Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Originally posted by Vestril Arghhhhhhh If you watch the movies, and then sit back and think about it (disregarding EU sources), Boba Fett would be better. Why? Because he had the benefit of training from someone who knew exactly how to best utilize his skills. Jango died when Boba was 10 years old I doubt that he got very much training from his "father". And also, what do you know about Jangos father? Perhaps he was a famous bounty hunter too.
