Topic: When Did Your Fettish Start?

The CG looks too fake.  The original movies were just fine without it (of course they didn't even have it at the time) andwhen  the re-releases had CG added many people shared my opinion.  They even mocked it on an episode of SouthPark. They added CG to an older episode that kina poked fun at what Lucas did in his movies. He was not very happy.  The movies are rediculously awesome to watch but somehow all the CG seems to make the visuals seem less believable. I mean that's what watching Sci-Fi is all about....knowing it's not real but being able to imagine that it is. Jar Jar might have been less annoying if he hadn't been 100% CG.  I guess people that are close to my age and older appreciate the original moves a little more because they were made without all the technology that exists today.  It's not that I think CG just totaly sucks. I just don't like it when a movie depends on it.  Too much CJ makes a movie look generic.

Yea i agree but CG can be good for things like the big space battles otherwise they wouldnt have been very good.

SouthPark rules!

Also, i think rubber puppets are pretty fake.

I watched Episode 5 and the fettish started.
I wanted to read about him
I wanted to be him

I wish i was boba fett

1980, when I first saw Boba on screen.

i used to like han solo, that is until i saw boba fett, then i got pissed whenever he knocked him into the sarlacc. my world stopped for a second there. then it started again with Jango Fett

Have fun getting digested for 1000 years.

He got out though.  And I started being obsessed with Boba when I first saw him.  I just liked the cold calculating way he acted, as opposed to Vader's rage, or Luke's righteousness (not that that's a bad thing).  AND you never see behind that helmet, so it added an air of mystery to him.  I thought he was really cool.

noone in my family was a real big star wars fan but about '94/'95 ish my mum put on the original star wars. i was hooked from there. i forget if it was my birthday or christmas that came first but i got one star wars toy that year, slave one. this ship was so unique looking and the tiny figures (boba and han in carbonite) sparked my imagination. i thought "who is this guy? he CAPTURED han?!" bear in mind i had only seen A New Hope. i was hungry for more and my fettish grew around a character who was so mysterious and involving.

I was a little kid and when I watched the star wars movies I thought he was so cool. I got a poster of him from some magazine my brother got and it is still in the same spot in my room. As I grew up I began to read books like the mandalorian armor and stuff. THats it for me.

I finally realized that my real enthusiasm for Fett started when I picked up his life-sized cardboard standee at the mall. I bought it for like $7, and it stands in my room to this day. My family was soooooo mortified as I walked through the mall with it under my arm =P.

ROTFL, I have one of those. Worse it gets dressed up the holidays, the best being Christmas. Santa hat and lights everywhere.

I put an Indiana Jones hat on mine.

As I stated in another topic, mine is destined for the office in my salon/day spa.  We are gonna deck him out beauty shop style...

Poor poor poor Fett....  The things he does for us ladies...  :P

Mine started in the early 80's when I saw a pic of Boba and the card his figure came in.
I hadn't even seen TESB I just thought he looked awesome and there was something about him.
He's been one of my faves ever since.
If not my fave from the original trilogy.

Niner, have you seen TESB now?

I always loved the movies.  Dad is a Boba Fett fan too, and he convinced me to watch them for the first time.  I'm glad he did!

Mine started when i saw Boba's gun.  I was already into starwars at the time, but didn't pay much attention to the mandalorian at all that much. But on my birthday, i got starwars battlefront 2.  I started to play and selected mos eisley, and then assault caught my eye.  I wanted to try it very much so i did.  I picked villains because my favorite character at the time was Darth Maul.  But then i saw Boba's weapon.  I saw the scope on his ee3 blaster, and since i was a sniper freak (could own all of you with clone sharpshooter) i immediatley picked him.  it turned out his gun wasn't a sniper, but i liked him anyway.  So i wtched tha complete trilogy again to learn more about him.  I started buying books about him and searching wookiepeapedia for topics on him.  I drew many pictures of him and other bounty hunters.  I learned much about our fellow mado soldier Boba Fett, that i wanted to learn about other Bounty Hunters.  So I know like, every bounty hunter there is to know.  So anyway, back on topic,  I was doing a google search one day.  I was searching for online games of Boba Fett and saw something that said Boba Fett Fan Club.  So, of course, i clicked on it and joined.  So all in all, that's how my fettish started. :)

Same here,I'll never forget my first time watching starwars,and I still have my slave I,it's on a shelf in my room I can't find the carbonite Han Solo though...

lol,the same thing happens to my Titanium Boba!my nephew put a santa hat on it last year,how he found one to fit a mini statue a little bigger than an action figure,i'll never know!

I started liking Fett when I started reading the Star Wars book. I knew his character obviously but I did not think too much about him.

I did not know about the books until Devil boy got me shadows of the empire for Christmas in 2003. He then got some books that he had left at his mum and dads and I read him in the short stories in tales from Jabba palace and tales of the bounty hunters.

I thought Fett was funky from then. I think that was about Feb 2004. So it has not been long.

Believe me Devil Girl, the "Fettish" will grow on you. It sure grew on me. It has lasted 26 years now!

I think it was the first time I saw the films...  I was just attracted to the armour and wanted to know more about who occupied it.  And ever since, it's been a Fett-ish. ;)

Mine started in Empire, I thought who is this dude that nots scared of vader and where did he get that sick ship from. Then my second figure was Boba vs IG-88 and that sealed the collecting side of things and after the books there could be no denying that we were in a serious relationship. Then I had the honour of meeting Jeremy in Australia and then in Japan and we talked about cricket and I thought " I'm talking to Boba Fett about the ashes!" and then I ran away screaming "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!

Well the movies were out before I was born, so for me it began when I was in a toy store one day (I had bought Star Wars toys before however) and i first laid my eyes upon a Boba Fett toy and thought "who is this guy in cool armor?" and bought it and every other boba fett thing i found. When I first saw the movies i was too young to comprehend boba's coolness. So it began when I saw him in the store couple years later.

I have been a Boba fan as long as I can remember...  I'm sure it started with ESB- his suit rocked, his ship was totally different from the others, and it had the most wicked sound when it left the Bespin platform..  I was hooked.

VG

I watched Boba Fett's death and I thought "Man that was pretty anticlimactic".  Then, through further research in books (Tales of Bounty Hunters and some book about Jabba's Palace) and the magical internets, I found the Boba is the most BA character in all of Starwars. (I just figured out Starwars is typed with one hand)

1997: Boba Fett magazine and Boba Fett vs IG-88 Shadows of the Empire 2-pack.

Boba Fett Magazine?! Where did you find Boba Fett magazine? I never heard of it before.

ummm...in a store?

i don't know...

i was visiting my grandparents and my dad picked it up.

used to have it, but...

here's a link to it on eBAY:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Boba-Fett-Official-Lucasfilme-Magazine_W0QQitemZ320128442379QQcmdZViewItem

when i saw the empire strikes back.esp the scene when solo and his awfull gfriend get away on the falcon and then another ship activates its drive and goes off after them and there is fett so cooly plotting his course in his cockpit.i could see his coolness.

well, i didnt think much of boba, mostly because he had almost no lines.... but that was then, he was always cool, the maske boutnyhunter. the Darth Vader of the non force users

My fettish started when I saw Fett in: The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. I was like: "Whoa! Hes wicked cool looking!" But when I saw him fly across the screen in ROTJ, I wonderd why they killed off such a way cool dude like him. So I bought a few books and started reading about him  and I just never stoped

I got my love of STAR WARS in general from my dad. I noticed Bob'ika when I was nine or ten. I think I may have been afraid of him. Anyway, my fear diminished and I began to really appreciate the character even though, at the time, he had no concrete story. I'm originally from Mass and my sister somehow found a t-shirt with the Slave 1 on it at some little vender at a flea market ( Ya, I still got it, I think she got me that shirt in 94 or 95) A couple of years later, she got me the book, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, edited by Kevin J. Anderson. To this day, I've only read the Last man standing portion of the book (Bob'ika's part) Since then, I've been hooked. Anything Boba I lay my eyes on, I'd sell my fingers to get it. Good thing I know where Kamino is huh?;) produces

You should read the whole book. The stories are all tied together.

I still have to read that one...man, I'm pathetic...

Don't feel bad I still have to read that one also.

I liked him in the movies (and loved the armor), but the limited role kind of put a damper on my interest.  It was playing KOTOR, learning about the Mandalorians, and finding out that Boba was connected to them when my interest really took off.

Ohhhh! Have you read a story about Boba "Fight to survive"(sorry, don't really know how it sounds in english, I read it in russian) After THAT DREADFUL STORY I became so impressed, cried a lot, it was so touching, so sad. Oh my! That boy was so kind!!! ---- this is my favourite one in Star Wars. :)

Ah yes I've read that entire series. I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure when my Fettish began. Sorta similar to Ralin's but not becuase of KotOR, I allready liked Mando's then, but I liked Mandolorians becuase Boba. This is tough. Hmm, maybe it was when I first saw ESB (which was after i saw RotJ) and saw that Boba had an actual part and acted all tough. I was never one to like the mainsteam characters in anythng, so perhaps it was sometime in the late '80's when I was still young.

Wow. This thread is OLD. Oh, well. I liked Fett I'm sure when I first saw him in Empire. But, I grew up with Star Wars, it's the first movie I remember seeing. I was like 4 when I saw the OT, I was born a while before the new ones (1991). But, my first real rememberance of liking fett was when I watched my dad play shadows of the empire for nintendo 64. Yes, I was born and raised geek. Rock On!!! That was around 6 or 7 years old. I also like IG-88. (Fett and IG-88 are bosses in that game.) Then I saw AOTC opening week and saw Jango, and I remembered how cool Boba was. I read about him more on the SW.com databanks, and was further intrigued by the EU section. I wondered where all these stories came from. So, I read Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and the Mandalorian armor, (not the sequels yet I'm going to buy them today) and now am convinced more than ever that Fett is the most badass Star Wars character ever.

Mine started when I saw Attack of the Clones. I loved Jango and when he died...i was soo sad...then i saw how upset poor boba was...and i was even more sad and i sympathized for him. Once i saw the later ones i was like "wow boba's cool". And ever since i have been a big Fett fan.

My Fett obbsession began with when I first met Jeremy at a convention I got a cool Boba Fett helmet that  he signed and then from there it was all over. I am always trying to find more Fett things. I have recently picked some novels The Bounty Hunter Wars 1,2,3, which all star Boba, and also the clone wars novels series on Boba and they are really cool they provide a large scope of Fett.

You met Jeremy?! Wow!! Too bad I never heard about any of these conventions around Raleigh-Durham,NC. I am just waiting fior my next oppurtunity to buy a Boba Fett boggle head.

My Fettished started when I was 2.

                      My brothers were watching the Empire Strikes Back when I came in the room.

                      Boba Fett was so awesome, I didnt want to leave the room.

Haha, my Fettish has the lamest beginning...
A guy at my homeschool co-op who I had a crush on was this huge Star Wars fan. So of course, I had to go and watch the movies (The ones I had been so scared of when I was little...) and figure out who is favorite character was. Turned out, his favorite character was Boba Fett. So then I had to research him. And read about him. And check out 'Tales of the Bounty Hunters' from my library. Which resulted in my falling in love with Boba Fett. :D And that's how it happened. I haven't been a fan for very long, but I've already started outlining a plotline for fanfiction in my head and doing Boba Fett computer graphics. **points to avatar** :D

I don't think thats the lamest beginning.... think of the guy as destiny's path to discovering something that you really enjoy.

Heh, maybe so. :D

Mine Started 6 year ago when when i was 5, my dad was watching A New Hope at night and i joined, i loved it, it was one of the greatest films i had ever seen and thats were i started loving Star Wars. it was around the time of Attack of the Clones at the cinema.then that made me want to see episode 2 at the cinema. i saw eppy 2 at cinema and loved Jango and the clones, it started from there.

i know some of you wanted a Boba scene in eppy 3 but as much as i like Boba i loved 3 it as it was.

When I was 7 or 8 years old,when I saw Jango at first time. Then,after years,I saw Boba Fett.

I liked Boba first time I saw ESB; and he made me like Star Wars.
