Yeah,   He always has the awesome 1 liners...after he has done his job.  Sometimes they are quite comical...

I know some people that like him solely for his ship, the Slave 1.  Or even maybe not solely for his ship....but that is the biggest reason why they like him.  a show of hands?

Really?I like Slave 1,but I don't know any of my friends that like him only for his ship..... :/

I do. But his ship just like any other ship, he's just a good pilot. ;)

I believe Slave 1 and Boba are somehow connected...

Are you talking about the thing that Boba has in his helmet witch lets him control it from a distance?

No, I think your thinking of his range finder. His antenna and his gauntlets are what control it. Thats really cool BTW.

LOL guys,I didn't mean that! :D I meant that Boba has love for Slave 1 because of Jango so he has a special connection with it.That is love and memories....

July 1, 2006 3:14 pm #

I don't think he has some kinda connection....really to it.  Him and his ship are simbiotic.....helping each other and working together to become a dangerous unit. Slave 1, i believe....could only be effectively used    by Fett himself....that is what it was made for...ya know.

Slave I wasn't made for the Fetts. It was originally a prototype ship made to protect a maximum security prison.

I personally love his accent the best... call me weird but if it was anything else, would he be the same?

I like the outfit

July 7, 2006 12:23 am #

His demeanor in the movies, there's something about the way Jeremy portrays Boba.

The armor.  It's the armor.

Yes, I agree--Jeremy's portrayal of Boba---nice!  And I read what some of you were saying about the one-liners--yes, they are sometimes full of dark wit--perfect! hehehhe

Boba Fett the most fearless bounty hunter since Jango Fett died!

Voice--yes--I like that type of gruff voice.  It just goes with his demeanor.

and then Temura went and did the voice over, annoying voice for Boba

Yeah, its not like its Rodney Dangerfields voice or something. :/ I mean come on! It sounds good! But still, we need to find a voice inbetween Morrison's and Whitegreen's.......hmmmm....

I agree very much. But lets hope we can find something better than Whitegreens. It is too distant from Morrison's voice. :/ We need to search the continent of Australia to find a new Boba Fett!!! :D It can be like American Idol!! But it will be called, Australian Fett Idol!!! :D :D YES!!! Get Lucas on the line!! Tell him TW's got another great idea!!! :D

The last time somebody tried to get a star from Australia, Crocodile Dundee happened so i vote NO for the Australian Fett Idol idea. Maybe they should just get Morrison to try a different accent?

I love Wingreen's voice. It fits Boba, it just cries, "I am Fett!" besides, it's very sexy. :D

I like the wingreen voice as well, it just fits the character. When Boba talks it sounds like he's talking through a helmet like the stormtroopers or Vader. Jango sounds like he's talkng through a walkie talky.

I dont really care anymore.........but It would be nice to get a better voice than both of them for Boba......

Just one of those things, I still like Jodo Kast and hate Jango.

But yea, either we edit Attack of the Clones or we get a new voice for Boba that kinda fits both of them. I'd rather edit Attack of the Clones, or just stick to what we had because it doesn't matter.

Just another part of the Fett aura that we like so much! hehehehe----I did like Boba's original voice, but Temeura's is very nice too.  I think I agree that his works more for Jango than Boba as well.

He's so mysterious, he let's no one see his face. and he has a strong will to survuve no matter what happens to him. Like how he is the only survivor of the sarlacc! Plus he's good at what he does. oh, and he doesn;t talk much :D he's hot! lol

That's "Wingreen", Jason Wingreen.  I'll have to say, as my first appearence here, that it's Boba's voice, (originally, of course).  It embodied all that was amazing about him.  Sure, his image was flawless with the most bitchin helmet since Frazetta's "Death Dealer" (popularly known from the Molly Hatchet cover), and the battered and overstocked armor.  Bullock did an amazing job moving correctly in the costume, and Slave I is the second coolest ship to the Millenium Falcon, but it's the voice all the way.  That taciturn, succinct, balanced, and "no play, no way" attitude just rules!

I'd say that Temuera Morrison was picked because his voice was the closest to Wingreen's, (and he looks really deadly).  Yeah, it's close enough to show the genetic line, but I wish that they had told Morrison (with all respect) to try to sound meaner than he was as Jango or the clone troopers, to be positively menacing.  Boba's attitude is such that he defeats people with it, with or without weapons.  His attitude is intelligent, wise, and charismatic (not in a long, rambling, "I can tell the most entertaining stories you've ever heard" way, but in a "what I'm saying is hitting your spine like nails across a blackboard" way).

I write Fett's primary abilities as follows:
Str-16 (not the biggest barve in the galaxy) 
Dex-18 ("Any time your want to test your speed against mine.") 
Con-18 (as tough as a sack of hammers) 
Int-17 (he should have used the flamethrower against Luke, but perhaps I'm being too critical since no one has ever outsmarted him) 
Wis-20 (one of the reasons I think that he's Force Sensitive) 
Cha-20 (why he claims over 1000 hits per day on this site, has the most expensive action figures in trade, and is often the most popular icon of the Star Wars characters all on 28 words) 

Remember that racial maximums for a human are 18s, so that shows at least four ability upgrades just in his wisdom and charisma, assuming the maximums to begin with.  Since those upgrades show every four levels, starting at fourth, we're looking at him being 16th level.  That's not too hard to imagine.

It wouldn't have hurt them any to have just left Jason Wingreen's contribution alone...

The mystery surrounding him was always what made him seem so interesting a character. As much as we all enjoy getting little bits and pieces of his past history revealed through the books, I can't say I enjoyed so much of it (and such an important part of it) revealed in AOTC.  I remember when that movie first came out, almost all the threads I saw on various boards were of the "I can't believe such a bad-ass was such a bratty kid!" kind of vein.

The helmet and armor kicks ass, too.
