Topic: Fett Unmasked - Would Boba Fett really unmask?

i would love to see a real shot of Boba unmasked!

(non-Robot Chicken, though. "Whoa! Surprise ending!" haha...)

i think i've seen a picture of him unmasked somewhere.

i think we've all seen THAT trading card...

there is one.

yep!

that's the one!

0_0 *scared* That picture is.... horrid.

i know. here is a better one.

OH!

MY!

GOSH!

THAT'S!

FREAKIN'!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

(what's up with the scar goin' across his cheek/nose?)

good question. i think he got it in a battle. lol. i found it wookiepedia.

Where did you get that picture come from? Is there a comic out there tht has it?

That picture, the second one of Boba sitting in the chair, that's from the ESB Infinities comic book. That picture is ok, but I still don't like too much. I don't see how he would get a cut like that if he always wears his helmet. Though I guess he does have it off here. So I dunno.

is that post- or pre-sarlacc?

Well, considering it's the ESB Infinities, I'd have to say that it would probably be before the sarlacc as that happened in ROTJ.

I've read that comic, and its during the bespin city crises

I like the 'new hope infinets'

yeah its good

Isaac_fett:         "there is one."
Oh that is HORRIBLE!!!! I'm scared! I'll kill that crazy man who drew THAT picture! Oh my!!! I imagine him not like this. I think he must be very sexy man really!!!

I guess that comic is old. I think that the newer comics have a higher standard now. I think I could do a better job if I tried to. (Perhaps drawing isn't my top skill). The perspective is all wonky ( technical term my drawing professor uses) in the face.  I didn't think that Boba was of african decent either.

Personally I can't see him taking it off in public. That was Jango's thing, not Boba's.

Boba does love his helmet. In the young Boba Fett series he decides that its better when  no one knows his idenity, that it is an edge, and can unnerve those that he is hunting.

Jango only did it once that we know of (at least in the movies.  Did he do it else where that I don't know of??)

But I agree; Boba keeps the helmet on.  Why should he take it off?

Jango also did it in the Bounty Hunter game. He didn't seem that worried about keeping his helmet on except in battle.

do games like that really count as canon??  I thought they were for the basic story and accompishments, but far from canon in every detail.

The fact that Boba keeps his helmet on may be because of paranoia.

  Anyways, keeping a helmet on is impractical, it makes you reliant on its sensors and equipment. If he were to be hit by an EMP, chances are his effectiveness would drop. I assume that he trains without his HUD enabled sometimes, to be prepared. You get to reliant on your equipment, what happens when it fails?

That's a good point.  With that in mind, he probaby does take of the helmet off; but ONLY when alone.  Probably only when he's on board Slave I, even

And if he never took of his helmet he would be realy pale....like MJ pale..

Don't think that's on top of his concern list. . . . .  but maybe it should be   :P

Well, the same thing happend with Master Cheif from Halo, he is very very pale because hes been in that suit for so damn long.. But he must get some time in the sun some where cause all the pictures of him show him tanned....But artists seem to overlook a bunch of stuff :D

Yeah that stands up to the same logic.

But I think many individuals would look that pale if they spent the kind of time in space that many of the characters have.

Good point, but even then thers starlight when their in a starsystem.

Do astronauts get tan? Does humanoid skin react the same to that kind of light or does the sheilding on the ship filter out the rays that cause skin to tan?

Well, I think the ships have radiation sheilding, and I dont think they spend much time in the sun, our astronauts realy just go onto space stations, In a craft like they use in starwars, they might get more sun.

It probably would, at least in StarWars.  Our space shuttles don't go far, so I don't know, but in SciFi the 'windows' would have to filter more intense rays when they go near stars/suns.  So any rays from just the starfield probably would probably be filtered out completely

I heard that fett unmasked when he was about to go to sleep.  :\

He probably has tha comfy pillow in his helmet I talked about :D

He wouldent need to, he might get uncomfortable, but he probably would when he was on Slave 1.

Yes, i think he was in a tent. And he had that pillow inside it, lol!  :D

I know that fett has gone unmasked a couple times before.  I was reading the Saga book "Bloodlines"  And it mentioned that fett had a doctor (because he has many tumors) that is the only person that he revealed his true face to.  Well anyways, I thought that was pretty interesting.

He takes it off in public, too. When he first meets Mirta, in Bloodlines. and his wife, Sintas, and Taun We, and maybe one or two others have seen it. but very few

Well wouldent Taun We be on Kamino? Kamino could be considered his homeworld. He might feel safer there (he was indoors right?)

yeah he was. but i think the only place the feels safe is Slave I. and i think that the doc was with Taun We on Kamino

I very highly doubt that Fett would take his helmet off in public except in those books.  (growls because I can't find those books in any local bookstore)

As for the tanning thing, he has a tanning bed in Slave I, duh :P :D

that's a good use of his money. The bookstores by me never have the books I want either. That's why I love the internet age. Before it it sucked and you had to find places that were willing to look for it and order it for you.

So what someone said on The Never Ending Boba Fett Story Game  could happen........

another time he removes his helmet is in the final or 2nd to last book of NJO, he meets han w/o his helmet, and and han thinks he knows him, and fett gives a different time. they (han and leia) realize it later.

fett does unmask...all the mandalorians just about in sacrifice, revelation etc knows his face. his doctor knows his face, and when he was hunting down the butcher of montellian serat [i think thatsthe name] he wasnt even wearing armor! just shorts armed with some arrows and a knife. the people who rescued him after he escaped the sarlacc saw him also

That's from Tales of the BountyHunters, right?  That's not canon.......or if it was, it's not anymore.  That's the one what says he's Jaster Mereel, too.  We know that's not true now, so I don't take much stock in the rest of it now either  *never did, to be honest; we all know Boba would have other ways of getting a mark without stripping :P *

well, some  of it is mentioned now--tumors, cloned leg, etc, I think

Look, we all know he had a wife, Sintas Vel.
They had a daughter as well.
Ehm, well, you get it!
He couldn't be all naked and still wear the helmet! I do not think he was that kinky... ;)

I don't think he was that kinky either. Further, I did not think a woman like Sintas would've put up with him if he was.

Fett has removed his helmet as already noted in the previous posts,but let me add this..

Traviss has written how much the clones felt at home in their helmets, having the ability to communicate, listen to music and such all from the comfort of their own helmets, besides they are climate controlled to boot.  Fett no doubt has similar options and then some so why wouldn't he want to keep it on. 

Having worn body armor for extended periods of time, eventually it just begins to feel natural and you feel strange without it on.  Especially if you have all your own creature comforts like snacks and the iPod pouch on it.
