Ten thoughts on why I like Boba
10. A character with a unkown past not tied down to one person or place.

9.  Life forms to him are merely seen with credits signs in his eyes.

8.  Nothing will or can stop him once he makes up his mind to pursue.

7.  Combat abilities that intimadate some Jedis.

6.  Go toe to toe with Darth Vadar at Vadars prime and truly walking away being the one to decide if Vadar should live or die.

5. Those toys,those fabulous toys(weapons).

4. A fellow you know is not going to go away quietly.

3. He is not evil or a bad guy,he just doesnt care what it takes to finish the job.And will not let anyone stop or get in the way.

2. I dont think there is anything I DONT like about him

1. He pilots a cool ship and just screams "I mean business" in that outfit.

You said it!  I wish my son were as well behaved.  I think it's the reading, very important.  He's a lot like I was as a child, only cuter, (by far).

I like Fett's persona, I HATE how Fett "died" in ep.VI, is it just me or is that the dumbest thing ever!

Okay, one of the best things I like about him is his attitude.  Has everyone seen the Gentle Giant scuplture (I'm pretty sure it was GG--I know there is a more 'cartoonish' one out too, but I'm talking about the more realistic one)?  I LOVE that!  It just looks like he's saying "bring it on"---the artist captured Boba's essence quite well. 

Welcome payback---hehe--Dengar was the "nice" bounty hunter compared to most of them.

I also like how Boba knows when to accept assistance--he rarely needs it, but a good example is actually his escape from the Sarlacc when Dengar and Neela came to his "rescue".

I like your list Lopero. Those are the reasons I like Fett....and the fact that he drinks through a straw in his helmet. :P

I've only read the straw/helmet thing one time I think---I thought it was a bit funny, but it does make sense...

Always independant, and in the Bounty Hunter Series books, you see that you dont mess with Fett and live to tell.

i think fett is a great balance between a normal guy and, for lack of better words, a superhero of sorts.  he has alot of normal person qualities to him which makes him beliveable, but he has that part of him that is 100% kick ass which makes him kick ass.  btw i got LEGO star wars and i do not have boba fett yet, but i won't rest until i do! :) also btw IG-88 i knew that he did not die and he in fact blew up the sarlacc and Dengar came to the rescue.

I think that it's rather simple to disintegrate an opponent, actually.  The hard part is capturing them alive.  Perhaps Fett had intentionally frustrated Vader from certain prizes...

I like the fact that the newest version of him in Star Wars Miniatures has disintergrate and I disintergrated an entire AT-At walker with it.

Twas a good day when I got that figure.




Also I liked him in Bloodlines

Hello everyone!
I'm new here and I thought this could be a good topic to introduce myself in.

Almost everything about Boba Fett is something I like.
His ship is great.
He has got tons of weapons.
He's got nice looking armor.
He's one of the very few persons who are not afraid of Vader.
He's independent.

And I must say that Temuera's voice would have been great if they just would have remade the scream too.
Or maybe not. He sounds exactly like the Boss of the commandos in the game Republic Commando.

Everyone should check out this movie. Too bad only chapter 1's ready.
November 12, 2006 11:32 am #

Yeah, I can see your point on that.  Not that I have played the game, but you can tell the scream is from a different voice.

I like both voices used for Boba, but I think I'll always associate Temeura's more with Jango.

my favourite thing about boba fett is that he is always by himslef, other than that time he was with dengar, and also, he never polishes his armour which looks way cooler than jangos.  :lol:

My favorite attribute about Boba Fett is his cold-calculating mind. He seems to know his opponents every move, which, needless to say, comes in handy in his line of work.

His occupation is not exactly prestigious. His only attitude about it, that I can recall, is that he is the best.

I like his cold heartless attitude. Though deep inside is a kind gentleman. Also that armor is kick ass

I would change the world, if only i had the source code. :cool:

The best thing about Boba Fett to me is how he does his bountys.He does them by just going up to the guy/girl getting haif the plan thought out then half way through battle he gets the other half of the plan thought out and the first part of the plan was donewithout flaw.Then the second without flaw it's just plain WICKID yeah I mean WICKID.

December 11, 2006 4:55 pm #

I'd probaly have to say the armour and helmet are the best part of Boba Fett.

December 11, 2006 11:12 pm #

The helmet, it's totally wicked. Plus the cool attitude to go with it.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.
December 12, 2006 4:18 pm #

I like his mysterious demeanor and envy his ability to block certain emotions so he can get to the task at hand.

Welcome to the boards Devin Fett and Net-a-Fett...always great to see new members, which often brings along new ideas and perspectives.

I agree with Sharra Fett. The ability he has to deaden his emo so that it doesn't get in the way is an incredible feat. :cool:

Yeah, as it was for nearly everyone else, it was the awesome armor that got me captivated... I really can't remember the exact moment I became a fan, but I do remember thinking: "He's different from all the Star Wars characters..." and so I had to find out more. I remember being on a videogame message board and talking to some guys about the movies, and one of the users brought up how Boba survived the Sarlacc, and that really got my interested? I was like "No way! That's soo cool! Tell me how!" And then they recommended the books. Thank the maker for the internet and bobafett.com, lol. :P The more I read about his mysterious persona, the more I liked him. Especially after reading "Tales of the Bounty Hunters." But I was a pretty die-hard fan even before I got to know him, lol.

The fact that in public he shows no weakness at all not ever.

January 7, 2007 11:39 pm #

I like the mystery that surrounds him the best and that he shows no emotion, and no remorse for what he dose. I also like that he is a loner and he doesn’t belong to any one side.

How he doesn't rely solely on strength to get bounties, but his wits and cunning.

You're right sinisterdreams, I think the fact that he isn't on anybody's side except his own makes him more versatile and deadly.

I agree with sev also, the way he thinks and uses wits/brains, gives him an advantage over the ave. joe in star wars.

I like the way he pays alliegance to no-one, but strictly follows his own moral code. He doesn't need religion or anything to hide under. He sees the world as it is, and doesn't run.
