Alright, I'll cut Jango some slack then. I'm nothing if not generous. His turd of a son ain't getting off that easy tho.

IG-88 also pranked Emperor Palpatine by randomly closing the Death Star throne room's doors in his face.

Best design ever made, forgettable character.

Yeah Jango was at least passable. Bobba though, the one who gets most admiration?
To be fair though they were fighting drones and the jedi they killed were either caught off-hand or are the red shirt type.
Dont think Battlefront 3 is a good metric.
By the same thinking; Darth Vader and the Emperor both survived aswell. Since they are playable there to.

If anything it confirms he IS dead because I've killed him personally several times...lol
Only after being reminded specifically by Vader to do the deed correctly. Implying that Fett has a tendency to just kill people instead of doing his job right.
Fett is the original example of style over substance in Star Wars. He is the foreshadowing of the Special Editions and the prequel greenscreens in pointless background character form.
I always got the impression that Fett's dead was a way of George Lucas to get a cheap laugh from the youngest audience. Basically, a revenge for what he did to Han Solo in the previous movie.
In a typical cringe-inducing Hollywood humor way. It was just missing Yakety sax playing in the background.
He was also stealing the thunder from Vader, so had to go.

Hk-47 could easily be made cannon at any time. His character is 100% Star Wars and could fit in to anything they do in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in the future.
Might be from the same thing you are talking about, but in one of the EU books I had (Tales of the Bounty Hunters I think?) IG-88 uploads his conciseness into the Death Star II and takes full control of it right before it's blown up. If only it was sooner.

Harry Lime also sucks.
That...wasn't his job
Both Fetts went out like bitches. At least Jango went out trying to take on the best light saber swordsman in the Galaxy..
He had just killed a damn charging Rhinoceras and another Jedi and he went toe to toe with Obiwan and bested him. Losing to a master Jedi when you're not at full capability is hardly jobber tier.

He was a really capable bounty hunter and the most usefull ally the Empire had in the OT. He almost killed Luke with a surprise shot at Lando's place.

he had little job to do in the movie though, yet I've heard people attribute him to Solo's uh... "downfall"

The amount of times I have read "I know everyone likes Boba Fett, but I personally don't get it" has made me wonder if there isn't just some running joke about this I;m not wise to.
Well, he was. He followed them to Cloud City and alerted Vader to their presence, that was his job and as such he was instrumental in Solo's freezing.
Why do I get the feeling that underneath the suit is a stacked totem of younglings and no one can see where they are going?Also there's one dude not in the picture, Zuckuss:

He got knocked out by Luke then got accidentally hit by a half blind man, hit the side the barge, and got ate.
Boba Fett was a bum in a cool costume.

That's a pretty boss sword
Watching the Jango/Obi duel confirms my thoughts after watching the movies upon release. Everything looks so fake. Like they couldn't even be bothered to actually have the actors do even the most basic "stunt" or scene in a real location. I'll continue to keep those travesties banished from my consciousness. Die Ep.1-3, die an awful death. Goodnight GAF.

I mean, so what if it takes the Sarlacc "1,000 years" to digest you. Are you even going to last past the first 90 seconds?
I need to watch Clone Wars. That was a fantastic fight.
Umm...
Precisely.
Must better later cause I started watch season 1 and it's not great. It's alright tier at best so far.

Screw this new wave of Boba hate. He's a bounty hunter with a dope design and that's all he needs. And him surviving the sarlac is canon, come at me.

His movie should totally just be him against a Carnival of Killers. He gets shot down on a remote planet, word gets out that there's a huge bounty on his head, and a horde of assassins, bounty hunters, and psychos descend upon the planet to end him.
And then he shows them all why he's the best in the business.
But since it's a Disney flick, give him a kid sidekick to show that he still has somewhat of a conscience, and he rescues him at the last moment (cause Boba Fett always wins). After he's finished off the remaining psychos, he leaves the kid behind with a souvenir, inspiring the kid to become a bounty hunter like him as he takes off with a stolen ship to hunt more bounties among the stars.

Not anymore! People really need to let go, he was punk'd out by a blind man and died in a slow painful way inside a monster.
Lame! IG-88 is the best bounty hunter / assassin for hire!
I always wondered what the in-universe explanation for the lack of killerrobots in the OT would be...

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Yes, it's the same reason they kept bringing back Carmine's in Gears of War(and kept not showing their faces).

I like Boba Fett.
But you must have really fucked up badly when the most evil person in the galaxy is telling you not to disintegrate people.

Eh sometimes you want a disintegration and sometimes you don't.
You knew Boba was garbage before most people even knew who he was? Sounds pretty hipster-y.

His origin story, Jango Unchained was pretty great.

The fact that he needs to be told that you can't bring someone alive if they've been disintegrated is proof that Boba Fett is a fucking idiot.
The fact that his fans point to this line as proof of his badassery is proof that Boba Fett fans are also fucking idiots.
I enjoyed this post way too much, thank you stranger!
