Ok, for the love of god I don't know why everyone loves Boba Fett so much. Can someone explain why he's so popular? I mean, he doesn't kill anyone in the entire saga. (Not talking TCW, though I'm not sure he killed anyone there either) He doesn't even catch Han. He phones in Vader to do that for him. There's nothing about him that says awesome or even good bounty hunter. He dies the lamest death ever. I think his death is the moment that SW series started getting worse TBH.

I think he was made worse when they made him a clone... Tbh if they make a movie and over write that and just make him a real son of Jango I would not have a single problem. But I really like Boba, probably on my top 5 favourite characters.

The same thing happened with Darth Maul (before he actually did stuff in TCW). I'm pretty sure the action figure of Boba Fett was released over a year before The Empire Strikes Back came out so a lot of 70s/80s kids (who are now adults) love him so much for nostalgia related reasons. |

Cad Bane is pretty much 100% based on EU Boba Fett though, with all his gadgets and stuff

But I feel like a movie about Boba Fett would just feel like an attempt to justify a character that really is kinda pointless. |

They can if they want to without making the movie non canon I actually heard they plan to release new movie novels with little changes here and there, I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of them considering they probably have a reason to not release the bounty arc, another good change would be to not mention midichlorians I mean it's never ever brought up again... |

I agree there is nothing special about him in the Original Trilogy. He only became a character to me in Attack of The Clones and when the Clone Wars actually gave him depth.

I agree that the whole Boba Fett situation might be similar to Darth Maul. But at least we got to see what Darth Maul could do. We saw him actually fight and no one had to say he was a badass because we saw he was for ourselves.

Also he doesn't need to explicitly kill anyone in the movies to be intimidating, you just know he isn't someone you'd mess with. ("No disintegrations"). Star Wars started getting worse at Jar Jar Binks actually. |

Star Wars started getting worse at Jar Jar Binks actually. . And plenty of Bobba fans don't seem to care about the EU either. This is fast becoming the best excuse for being totally ignorant/apathetic of anything that is in the EU. I don't care if the EU is "Non-canon", it is still relevant to Star Wars. As is KOTOR, the Force Unleashed and everything else Disney has declared non-canon. It's also hypocritical for you to be totally cool with the destruction of one piece of Star Wars and furious when another meets the same fate. But whatever. Yes, some Boba fans may not care about the EU. But that's because they don't need to know more about him to like him. In the movies we know that Boba Fett is a menacing & ruthless bounty hunter. We don't need a whole movie to tell us that. It is implied. Also not knowing a lot about him is what makes Boba Fett such a great character. While Darth Maul did see some action at the end of TPM, you knew right from the beginning he isn't the sort of guy you would mess with and even without a fight he would still be a very popular and memorable character. I think the way they pulled off Boba Fett's death was poorly done but that doesn't matter much to me. |

It makes you look incompetent as people assume you're gonna resort to disintegration when you can't do your job right. |

It makes you look incompetent as people assume you're gonna resort to disintegration when you can't do your job right. Um no it makes you look intimidating because it implies he has the power and the reputation to kill people in an instant, without mercy. Vader tells him "no disintegrations" because he knows that if he didn't Han, Luke, Leia & Chewie would all be turned to dust and that kinda conflicted with his plans because he wanted them alive. Also JSYK Boba Fett is a bounty hunter and his jobs usually involve killing people so disintegrating people would definitely count as doing "your job right" 99% of the time. Unless of course you are told otherwise by the guy who gave you the job which in that case he was. |

Well like I said the job he was carrying out in the movies wasn't supposed to involve killing anyone. He was told not to kill the people he was hunting and he didn't. Still, it is implied he has killed many people in the past in the films and that's good enough for me. (And of course there's also the EU where he actually does kill a bunch of people.) |

I guess none of you have read the Star Wars: Boba Fett book series. It explains a lot and gives Boba more of a character. IMO it should be canon (although unfortunately it probably isnt).

Boba is still a decent character, and I can see how he must be a threat based off just the OT. If Vader personally hired him, he must be dangerous. I don't feel every character that is supposed to be "deadly" needs to have a plethora of onscreen kills/etc. Sometimes a little mystery (for lack of a better term) with the character makes them more interesting. However, I do feel some people praise him too much.

Just because something is expanded upon doesn't mean it's lame. In fact if you used that logic (if it can really be called that) then all of Star Wars is lame because almost everything in Star Wars was expanded upon in some way by the EU. |

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
