So I went and looked this guy up on Wookieepedia, and there's almost nothing. How on earth was there not a ton of EU stuff written about him?

there was

click on the "legends" tab at the top of the page, lol

Jesus fucking Christ! How old are you?

....I'm not seeing what's so shocking about what he wrote...

The first death star didn't go out like a chump. It's almost innapropiate to compare that to anything that happened in the prequels. The prequels themselves are innapropriate too, unfortunately.

Well how bout that!

Well, perhaps, but his general point still pretty much stands.

A lot of villains in the Star Wars universe go out in boring disappointing ways.

Hell some of them don't get endings.

Spoiler

Fucking Maul and Ventress are just out there, ignored and forgotten by everyone apparently.

Screw Boba Fett, Darth Maul should have been in all 3 prequels. And he should have had a character too.

 

[LowParry]

Well, at least he can rap.

Fett's death is just another victim of Lucas starting to go off his film making rails in RotJ. His goofy death, the ewoks and several burp scenes were all precursor signs of Jar Jar that we should have seen coming.

All movies outside of ANH has pacing dying at the middle of the films. And honestly I disagree in that the Ewoks had their shit handed into them.

IG-88 would wreck everyone in the prequels and new movie.

 

[timetokill]

Boba Fett is one of those characters where I have no idea how they got popular. All I can think is that the words "bounty hunter" give people an uncontrollable hard-on and makes them like characters that are pretty fucking cardboard thin.

If you accept EU as canon, turns out IG-88 nearly ruled the galaxy.

One of the many things I really didn't mind seeing blasted with the canon cannon. As adorably goofball as that story was.

Don't really have a positive or negative opinion on the Fetts. Both the Slave I and Slave II are really dorky looking ships though.

yeah, another star wars thread.

I've been rewatching the OT in preparation for TFA which I'm going to see saturday morning. I just finished Empire last night and something occurred to me:

The whole "Boba Fett sucks, he just looks cool and got taken out like a bitch in ROTJ" is some hipster ass bs. While it's true that he did get taken out pretty easy in Return everyone seems to forget what he did in Empire.

Among the group of bounty hunters he was the only one smart enough to track Han Solo which eventually lead to him getting frozen in carbonite. This event was hugely important because it is what emotionally triggered Leia to confess her love.

So while they could have probably done more with Boba Fett, him getting tossed into the Sarlacc pit with relative ease isn't the thing he should be remembered for.

You're still cool to me Boba

All he did was follow Han to Cloud City and then tell the Empire. The Empire did the actual work of capturing Han and freezing him.

That's the only thing Fett did in the original trilogy. Well, I take that back--he did die like a bitch in the Sarlaac pit.

Don't start this shit up again, man. Not on fucking Christmas.

but what he said is true though

people overestimate and oversize Fett's role big time

hilariously enough I'm seeing the "fett" guy appear in the second entry in the trilogy, I wonder if another fett comes in VIII

Think of Warhammer.
