what the hell is Fett trying to punch in this picture? Vader is like two foot away from him. is he posing? did he misinterpret and started going for a fist bump?
 
Boba hast wrist rockets. He's a sneaky bugger. Getting one of those rockets in the eye hole wouldn't be a lot of fun.

Pretty much. He was a bit sneaky in ESB, but all he did in ROTJ was get beaten up by a blind man who didnt even know he was in a fight and fall over. Boba Fett's "death" was Jar Jar level antics.

Now, Jango. There's a Fett that could hold his own.

And people complain about Jango going out like an idiot. At least he actually held his own and had relevance in the movie.
 
I don't really care what they do in the spinoff movies. I'm not really going to consider them canon anyway. Only thing canon to me are the numbered episodes.

Maybe he's trying to push one of those little buttons on Vader's chest!

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why exactly him being a clone is "bullshit." Why is it even an issue at all.

Because anything Prequel related, no matter how good it may be, is somehow automatically considered terrible.

But seriously, as some poster mentioned previously, I think it had more to do with detracting with his alleged mistique that many 8 year old Star Wars fans projected when they saw that do nothing character in action.
 
Horrible, disrespectful, and kind of offensive. Jango is awesome and Boba Fett being his clone-son is far more interesting than "I'M A BADASS MANDALORIAN!!!" or whatever other boring thing the fans want.

This just reads like lousy fanfiction from whiny fans who can't accept anything at all from the prequels.
 
That Mandalorian crap is what helped make Fett so eye roll worthy later.

I like the thought of the new Fett wearing the armor and pretending to be the original and doing what he does all the while laughing at the whole mandalor shit any of the survivors go on about.

I remember when episode 2 came out Rick McCallum was like we will finally understand in this movie why Boba Fett had such a vendetta against Luke Skywalker and the Jedi in ESB and RotJ

I mean...what?
Click to expand...

Rick McCallum is such a fucking loser. George Lucas met him on the set of Return to Oz smoking pot or something and later McCallum smooched up until Lucas put him on his payroll.

The guy really doesn't know or care much about Star Wars even in the Behind the scenes stuff he's just kinda standing there nodding while others explain things and he's like "oh ok thats cool"
 
Here, I'll try to justify this: the clone/young Fett and the Fett we see in ESB/ROTJ don't align, at all. Old Fett is cool, calm, and collected. There is no indication in the OT that he hates the Jedi. MAYBE you could infer he knows Solo, but the Jedi? Not really, at all. He's just there to get shit done, collect his pay, and try not to disintegrate anyone.

In the PT, Young Fett is kind of this bratty kid whose personality doesn't really fit anyone's vision of who Fett is, even if he's not given much screentime in either movie. It was a back story that nobody really needed to know, especially because essentially NOTHING is done with the "Fett hates Jedi" storyline they tried to shoehorn in, at least in the PT/OT.

OT Fett >> Jango Fett >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bantha poodoo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PT Fett

I believe the trademark phrase was, "It's so dense."

Have you watched the second Clone Wars animated series?

Less is more when it comes to Star Wars. The force should have stayed mystical instead of running midicholorian benchmarks. And watching cringe worthy performances for young Anakin and Fett did their characters no favors. I hope the new movies don't focus on 10 year old kids...that shit isn't Star Wars.

I came into the thread expecting bullshit. Realized it actually is a good approach to correcting the prequel Boba Fett bullshit.

Sounds good to me!

Eh, Episode 7 just needs to "Rocks Fall, people died" the entire "new Trilogy"/Episodes 1-3 to be worth watching.

Star Wars lore is so bad Disney should just change everything.

The EU is all over the place in terms of quality and the prequel trilogy is like having a fart right before amazing sex.

Disney would earn some respect from me if they came out and said "nothing besides the OT exists now"

No way. Windu > all.

Nearly took out Sidious on his own. Those other Jedi were just there for him to look angrily at and bring him drinks.

Dude straight up roasted old mate, all while trying to talk some sense into darth doucheface mcfeelings.

Perhaps...but I still don't really see why fans have to get so upity over what was just a minor backstory reveal. You've still got all the years in between the movies to fill out the rest yourself.

And that would be the moment where they lose me. Retconning the Prequels just to appease a minority of the audience is outright stupid and prove that the best way to get rid of it would be to complain about it for long enough. It would only mean that entitleness wins out in the end, and if that were to happen, we would only see more of it as it would somehow mean that it's okay to whine and get your own way.

Modern Simpsons and Star Cosmic Wars...isn't that kind of a paradox? Bad writers complaining about bad writing?
 
That's one of the smartest fixes I've ever read.

edit - Maybe he switches places again with the original Boba Fett right before the lame death scene.

Man, watching the Obi Vs Jango fight in retrospect is so infuriating. Such a shittily staged, choreographed fight. No weight, barely any physicality and it just sort happens. Represents the prequels so well funnily enough lol

At least Jango had a more dignified death than his son in the end. Beheading by Jedi is always better than being shot by a blind Han Solo and falling into a living desert hole.

Actually, I kinda don't remember the Obi-Wan/Jango fight. Just that I knew it happened.
