Topic: Where is the Fett in your life?

This is REALLY geeky, but, I never professed to be otherwise.
We all have the Fett mania in the blood. I'm wondering, in what ways does Boba Fett seep into your everyday life? 

1) In my blog I find at the end of posts, I can relate a fair amount of things back to Fett.  Something about the character, his books, movie appearances, fan fic, gets me thinking and off I go.
2) He's all over my house.
3) He is my writing critique group's 'enforcer'. I have a bust of him on a small china cabinet in the kitchen. Beneath the bust sit the envelopes of everyone's monthly goal, and their cash. We all live in fear of him should we not make our goals that month.  He is the reason one person wrote her chapter while heavily medicated last week, and another is going to finish her book. NO ONE (except maybe me) wants a visit from Boba Fett. And, he sends out laconic, threatening nasty grams to the group during the month between meetings to keep everyone 'motivated'.
4) He is my Business/Life coach. I keep his picture and statue on my desk. On my whiteboard, the first line reads "Boba Fett says" and it follows with something to ponder for the week. When I am at wit's end, I see the picture (just before he falls into the you know what), I look at the action figure, and I get 'creative' about solutions. He reminds me that the right thing is seldom the easy thing; that no one will take care of my life , or bank account, better than me; and that if I want a destiny I must forge it with my own two hands and a ton of grit. (imagine, all that from a little plastic figure. Yikes!)
5) He is the 'easy buy' for the wife. The Old Man never has to sweat getting me 'gifts' or bringing 'tribute'. Nor do his friends. As I do not frown upon the comics, collecting and such (like the other wives who detest it loudly) the house is a safe haven for them, so they occasionally bring me Fett booty in honor and to keep me happy.

Am I the only nut job out there, or does the Fett man figure into your daily grind as well?

He used to be a large part of my life years ago. But he still is some. I come here every day, does that count? lol

Hmm.... I have a lot of Fett product. When I'm buying SW stuff Fett stuff is always the first thing I buy, and I get the other non-Fett stuff later on if I have more money.

I agree with #4. I don't have a figure of him sitting at work, but he is a big help. Just thinking about all he's been through and all he's done and the things he can do and the way he thinks and it makes me go, sorta, "What would Boba do?" And it does help.

Mainly collectibles stuff all over the house.

He is like an imaginary friend that I talk to in my mind................I guess you can say he is like my conceince. ;) Its really cool because a lot of times I'd be having small arguements in my mind with Boba! :P Its kind of weird actually. I also have many books, and toys, and comics about him. He is also one of my idols!! And as Miba said, I come here dont I? lol I am the biggest poster on BFFC so far! Doesnt that say something???

TW

It says you talk a lot.

But the Fett in my life is the boards, toys, movies, online, and books. And my writing as well, I haven't ever written a fan-fic that didn't include Boba Fett.

{OFF TOPIC}
Its funny because I BARELY talk in real life. Its much easier to type a couple words than to actually face someone and talk to them, ya know. Im actually very shy in real life. :/

TW

Just one of those things.

Hm, lest's see I have mostly all the books he's in and I also have a couple of figures.

I have a large Fett collection, and I fallow many of the Fett codes.

I made this Fett avitar to use on some message boards:
Nothing special, just cropping and adding text.

And a person under the screen name Sephiroth on a board I frequent made me this sig:

One of the user names I go under is bounty_hunter_bk, which is a mix of my fandom for Fett and my nickname.

As for the real world I got some Fett swag and he sneaks into my conversations sometimes.

On a more persoanl note.
Sometimes when I'm on the verge of crying, and I'm in a situation where I can't afford to be distracted by such things, I imagine getting caught crying in front of Boba Fett. Not for some made up reaction from him or anything. I have this issue  about crying around people I respect. It's almost a phobia. I don't like appearing weak in front of them. I don't imagine any possible reaction from him, just that moment where he walks in and sees me at my weakest.  That can help motivate me to calm down.

when I get in trouble or get in fights I always think What would Jango do? Jango is the whole reason i became a star wars fan. And i think to my self for motivation if Jango can take done a big star fighter with his two pistols, then i can take on that big fat jerk over there.

Jango? Why not Boba? Jango is a coward, as he hires mercenaries to do the jobs he was hired to do. He is also an idiot. Jango used two wrist-rockets on two guards, who were right next to each other, and who were running away. One rocket or two blaster bolts would have worked.

Oh shut up draco, you know thats not true. Hes just not as strong and smart as Boba, so he needs some help. Jango is a legendary Bounty Hunter as well you know, I think he knows what hes doing.......but that isnt the topic right now. ;)

EDIT: MY 2000th POST!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!! YES! :D

TW

What I said is true, I did not make any of it up. But yes, back to topic.

well anyways, as Ive said before.......he is like one side of my consience. It very weird because I see a mini Boba in my mind when Im thinking to myself. :P Its very hard to explain.

TW

You know when I first started to read this posting a sense of relief came over me that could and probably sound korny. "Hey it is ok, wow I am not the only one who feels like that"
It is almost a restful feeling that I am not the only one whom thinks most of the day how Boba fett and the fantasy of a Mandalorin culture exciting and helps me during the day.
If I had to put a number on it I would guess at 80% of the day either Boba, Jango or the fantasy world of the Mandalorian is on my mind.
At times I think of that next short story I will write but not share for fear of a negative opions.Or I am at work working on MY outfit as "Lopero". Which I have the "blaster" done and hope to share pictures of here and "Mando ade"
The phrase” when you going to grow up" as been asked of me by those whom have read what I written, drawn or any of my projects around this topic who do not share my interest.
I would not just say that "Fett" is my life but that I want to be in "Fetts" life.
Every since seeing ANH at the age of 7, I have had a fantasy that "I" can be apart of that Galaxy far, far away. And if I was this is who I would be and how I would act.
Now at 38 I can use that fantasy to help me in my life today with reference points to relate to certain things at certain times.
Not to mention that "fett in my life" helps me escape from the day to day doldrums. Keeping a creative mind stimulated in-between the serious decisions of the day.
Sorry I will get off my “soapbox”, I could go on and on.
To simple answer the topic,”Where is the Fett in my life?” about everywhere and a lot.
Now I will get off here and get back to designing “Loperos” family crest and logos for “his” outfit.
May the force be with you

He surrounds my desk (my creative center) in the form of action figures and statues.  Around my computer area (where I do my writing) he manifests himself in collages.  And he also appears in my stories in that I always ask myself, "Now what makes Fett loveable?" and then try to keep that in mind whenever my male characters start acting like wusses.  In my own life he's an inspiration for self-confidence.  "Would Fett be intimidated in this situation?  Would Fett care what anyone thought about him?"

Whenever I am on the verge of doing anything out of character (talking to others, asking others for help when it is possible for me to do it myself) I ask myself if Fett would do it.

Well I have a print of him on my lounge room wall, signed by Jeremy. But Boba is more than that to me. Boba is a source of strength for me. Often I'm way too nice, which opens myself up to being a doormat. Boba inspires me to be strong when I feel that everything has turned to crap. Luckily it's been a long time since I felt like that. I see Boba as a being in control of his life and I take my guidance from that. Plus he's just really cool ;)

Whoa, Draco, are you sure that's a good thing?

Most of the people in my class are idiots, but no, I am not.

Ditto. ;)

Fett rocks i got a wall dedicated to his merchandise, plus his books

hes stong when im weak

That is exactly what I would have said. It's kinda crazy, I've become Boba Fett. And oddly enough, thinking about all the things he's been through has got me through a lot of tough things in my life...;)

Besides the boards, movies, and books, there's not much for me to say. Well, at my HS football games, when i get mad @ out sucky team, i think "i wish the Fett man was on the team" or when i get really mad at the opposing marching band at halftime or competitions, i imagine what Fett could do to them. (not a pretty image)

I got a Boba Fett themed Desktop and mouse pointer, a million shirts with him or the Mandalorian Skull on it, a really pathetic collection of action figures that I keep on my dresser (Along with another obsession of mine, a Tusken Raider), a bunch of books, and some unposted Fanfiction and Fanart. He's even one of my main muses when I'm writing or drawing.

I made this to tape to my television just recently.

Not that pretty but it gets the point across.

Nice! I need a poster that says that! ;)

Lol cool :p nice work.

I Have To Say I Got A Sticker Of Him On My Durango, Sticker Of The Helmet On My Tool Box At Work Half An 8x10 Room Filled With Fett Stuff And Build A Costume. So Its One Of Those Things Where I See Something Fett Everyday. Hes A Hobby And A Way Of Life.

yeah I'm hardcore about the Fett man too. My AIM is TheFettMan14 for god's sake lol!

Fairyblood, that's a great motivator!!!!

Boba Fett is what I think every Star Wars fan wants to grow up to be.  I mean who wouldnt want the awesome armor, weapons, and gadgets.  But to me Fett is more than that.  Fett is the hero Ive been trying to grow into ever since I saw Star Wars.  Fett teaches you that you can be on your own and still be able to provide for others.  I believe that if Fett had someone he loved nothing could kill them.  Fett might seem evil but he does what he does so that he can provide for himself.  I think its awesome that Fett now has family.  Now we can finally see that Fett can have compassion.  I believe Fett is an amazing character to follow.  He doesnt give in to the basic human need for sex.  This is proved when Jabba offers him Liea and he lets her have the bed and it doesnt even cross his mind that she is extremely beautiful.  Fett could show eveeryone that not all codes of honor are about fighting fair its about how you live not how you fight.

Fett fights fair as far as im concerned. Nice points Kad Fett definatly isnt evil he is an anti hero and has an extremly high morals.

Someone i can yell at on the TV and laugh at. LOL!
I know, i'm nuts.

Well said Kad. I agree with that.

I mean, the kid had a hard life, his father was often gone.
When Jango was home he was probably teaching boba how to survive.
He was born and bred to be a bounty hunter, Ruthless, relentless, rebellious.

I agree, Fett is not evil......JAR JAR IS!!!!!! j/k LOL!

Well if you think you guys are geeky, i pray to boba fett everyday

That's really weird...........but I have a ton of boba stuff in my room, including a lifsize standee, but every time I look at it, I feel....safe. Yet, I don't know why.

Fett has infiltrated my new home office, and in true clone fashion, there is a legion of him in the upstairs parlor (the room next to the office) waiting to storm the gates.  Most recently he made an appearance in the form of this animae kind of statue with flames. Fett and Fire. I am very blessed.

And yet I am cursed, because though I labored mightily collecting the miniatures game, I have yet to get Fett. Sure, I have Mandalore the Indominatable, but he can't compare.

The Fett in my life is this website and a bunch of books. Like a lot of you when I find myself becoming distracted I think of Fett and how he pushes thoughts out of his mind to get the job done.

Deep dpwn inside only coming out when the time calls.  One time n particular the security gaurd where I was staying got jumped and was getting the worst of it so it came out I steped in and the guy went to jail. Reward free night.  My first bounty.

A poster in my room(fortress :P :lol: )  i made with Jango Fett code, a Boba Fett wallpaper in my desktop, a Boba Fett desktop theme, whenever i play kotor i always use a mod to have is armor and the Boba Fett Fan Club

I probably gonna get more things about the Fett's

You've sure got me inspired Faramir!

Lol sweet my 1st bounty was retarded we were in art class my friend gave me 1 cent to get the glue back from the table that took it from us and I did. I did another "bounty" but i forgot what it was.

???!??!??????

Off topic, but does anyone know where to get that boba armor mod for kotor?

Hey, does anyone ever tell you guys that you are all in "too deep" with your obsession?
lol, just kidding.
I have the typical assortment of Boba Fett stuff... sweatshirt, bantha skull T-shirt, BK watch, BK toy, pin, action figures... I have two Boba's, but I made one into Jodo Kast, and I've placed them so that they are "fighting" on my nightstand.
Also to note, it's rather sad that most of the SW novels I've read I only read them because Boba was in them... (or clone commandos.)
Yeah, I guess you could say sometimes I look for him to inspiration. He motivates me to draw, I've drawn him more than any other SW character or anything else for that matter, I'm certain. Not only can he be a muse for me, but I also suppose he can influence how I think/my actions sometimes. But let's face it, Boba isn't some you should look up to in most everyday situations... I can see it now...
Boss: (insert your name here), Hey, why were you so damn late to work today?
Obsessed Boba Fett fan: (Thinking to self: how would Fett handle this?)  You are merely my small time employer... I'll decide when I work for you when I want to work for you.
Boss: Excuse me? O_O
Boba Fan: Don't make me take extreme measures in order to make this more clearly for you, I will not hesitate. You now as much as I do that I can have you pinned to the floor with the business end of a blaster aimed straight at your skull faster than you can say "bantha podoo."

Yeah, that would go smoothly...

Above post made me giggle. XD

My new English teacher says to me yesterday, "Ah, so you have Chewbacca and Boba Fett [keychains] on your book bag. Two of my favorite people."

0_0   Brain shouts, "I LOVE YOU!"

[edit]

ACR Fett, this is your fault. =D
