Topic: Looking for a book to start with

What is a good book to start with to read  about BF where he is not simply a passing character to the book but the main character?

Thank you

Try the Bounty Hunter Wars.

Thank you

those books are of the chain! I, not even done with the first one yet though. I dont read a lot, but man those books are worth it! :D in the beggining its confusing, but during the middle it all comes together. ;)

I am re-reading the trilogy.

Book One: Mandaloian Armor
Book Two: Slave Ship
Book Three: Hard Merchandise

im trying to read the trilogy for the first time! :lol: I got it like earlier this year! :lol: I dont like reading....

Yes, it is confusing at first, but by the end of the series everything gets an answer. I loved those books, btw, part of what made me a Fett fan. :D They're probably one of the best books about Boba. For more books and comics about Boba, see my site:

Though I'm sure this site, bffc, has a list of books as well.

You may also want to read the 6 junior novels out there, some of it is non canon but it also explains a lot about Fett and Jabba plus Aurra Sing is in it and thats a good combo for Bounty hunters

Thats a great series to start out with, your right. But I tjought it was all canon?? :/

TW

Durge was also in it. I really did not like that series, it was too childish.

It is all canon. I'm not sure why he siad it wasn't canon,but it is. Yeah, some if is too childish, but that's ok. Boba was only 10, 11, and then, what, 12 or 13? He's allowed to have childish moments at that age. And the books are children's books, so you can't really expect them to have a more adult feeling to them.

Yeah but they shouldnt have shown his childish moments the charecter who was once shrouded in mystery is becoming less so :(.

um.....why not? Boba was a kid once too. He just lost most of his childish behavior in that series. You could see that the author was making sure he was becoming more and more like the legend he is as an adult.

There's also the short story in tales of the bounty hunters or Tales from Jabba's palace.

But yea, Bounty Hunter Wars is good.

i wasnt sure if it was all canon or not because doesnt the little girl he save meet her father in jabbas palace and then they get him mandalorian armor, i didn't find anything that confirmed that so i wasnt sure, didnt want to call it canon if it wasn't thanks for clearing it up though i appreciate it.

No you dont get it they are revealing more and more about him some thing's shouldnt be told i would've rather imagined what he did in his childhood. He dosent seeem mysterious atall now :( , and i dont like really think of him being imature because he was trained from an earliy age tained like a mando he wouldnt have been that childish.

...who's still in favor of the Jaster Mereel orgins?  :P  For those of you who remember that...but that's another argument. 

Books to start with...well, everyone else covered it pretty well, but you should also try to get your hands on the Dark Empire graphic novel trilogy...it isn't about him, but he does have a pretty big part.  I think that was where he was first introduced as having survived the Sarlacc...

From my understanding, as I have not read it, No Disinigrations Please from Tales of the Rebellion is great.

Or if you can find it. Twin Engines of Destruction.

The story is in Tales from the New Republic, actually, not Rebellion. Anyway , it is a wonderful story. :D

i Know you said you wanted a book with him as a main and not passing but i figured id suggest this anyways, but read the chapter Boba is introduced in the OT, can't go wrong with the description and actions we see of him.

Of course The Boba Fett Fan Club has pages on books. Comic books, novels, magazines, and guidebooks. You can always search...

Me, me, me... I agree with the Jaster Mereel past. I really dislike the whole clone bit.

But anyway the first Fett novels I read were also the Bounty Hunter Wars and they were great. :D

I liked Shadows of the Empire too, though Fett wasn't really a main character but he was there...

I would advise you to start with the comic books. I think I've read most of them and enjoyed it each time since there is no narration to spoil the "mystery" of the man behind the mask...

Novels are ok, as long as they're action-packed and a little less on the talk level. That's why I didn't appreciate the Bounty Hunter Wars as I should've: in my opinion of Fett, he's not such a man of words, and the author made him speak huge lengths, many times.

yea but words give us a big insight to his motives and his drive, which is a very strong part of his character, his drive to achieve.

I get your point, but I always liked some room for my own imagination to fill in the gaps ;)

I strongly agree with the others that  the Bounty Hunter Wars series is an exellent way to learn about Boba. I've read them 6 times now and I never get tired of them,truly exellent work.

read them 6 times...damn and i always thought the people who read Lord of the Rings every year were a bit off set, but atleast you pcked something a bit more edgy.

I only reread LOTR every other year but of course Boba Fett is much cooler than a bunch of "hobbitses"

Lol hobbits are much cooler :).

hobbits better then boba fett? thats almost as bad as star trek is better then star wars,and im a big fan of LOTR but still Fett vs Frodo,please no ring can save that hobbits but from a mando.

Lol i hope you realise i was joking no midgets with hairy feet can beat Boba lol......or can they.......no they cant.....

I dunno guys, hobbits can throw rocks.

And they can...

They can also...

Wait, no that's about it.

lol yea i know you were joking just thought id have sone fun
