Do you think Boba Fett is Force sensitive and why? (Page 3 of 5)

Man, we've gotten WAY off topic!! Back to the topic.......Do you think Boba Fett is Force sensitive and why?

TW

Right.  I never claimed that he levitated anything or felt someone's presence beyond his normal senses, (though the olfactory sensor in his helmet makes him something of a bloodhound).  He does amazing things when he's pushed too far, and he doesn't get bent out of control over situations, but rather, just suddenly able to handle anything with unerring precision.  How many "character points" Solo was called to use to get lucky enough to set off Boba's jetpack is one of the great mysteries of the SW universe, and why Fett couldn't recover from that flight is another.  He's not completely infallible, and everyone has an Achilles Heel, eh?  But, given that was pretty much the only way to defeat someone like him, I'll have to take the Great Lucas on his writ...

ok, I quick-read through all the posts in this thread, so I appologize if this has already been covered as I may have missed it.  You have to consider the fact that all life contains midichlorians (biggest Lucas cop-out ever IMHO), so that would make every living thing -or at least every sentient, living thing- sensitive to the Force on some level subject to definition.

In Boba Fett's case, I believe this has manifested itself as a highly evolved form of instinct or insight coupled with increased intelligence.  Physically this may manifest as advanced reflexes, dexterity, stamina, strength, etc along with the superior conditioning and constitution inherited from his father, who probably possessed these same qualities.

Fett not only survives, but thrives, hunting and capturing some of the most dangerous scum the Universe has to offer.  There is no coincidence that he is the best at what he does, and just happens to have a pretty high midichlorian count.

"in my experience there is no such thing as luck..."

Did he actually become a Jedi though? It was just a vision.

I don't think having midichlorians, and being force-sensitive are the same thing. As many have posted, everyone has midichlorians inside them, it is the essence of life (or something). I'm not 100% sure, but isn't being force-sensitive the ability to use the force to help you? Not the actual using of the force, but the ability to learn to control it.

Also, about all that, What's canon and what isn't. Lucas practically said that only the movies are canon, and yet he recognized the fact that Boba escaped the sarlaac because he planned to put it in the movie. The only reason he didn't, was because he thought it would take away from the rest of the scene and actually wasn't truly necessary.

It can't be subconsious, and be something he does on his own. Subconsious means something you do without knowing, or without trying to.

And I'll try to find where i saw the article about him trying to put Boba's escape in the movie.

I wonder if Darth Sidious had the Kamenios add a level of midichlorians in the master DNA  donation Jango gave to form the clones giving them an ability to sense the "Jedi" force.
If I understand how poweriful Darth Sidious was..he could create life as he wanted it to be.Making a force sensitive clone would be in line.Especially when he had plans to have the clones turn against the Jedis hunt them down and destroy them.Making the orginal batch force sensitive being able to "pick up "on the Force when needed.Which in turn was added to Bobas DNA when created ap per the agreement for Jango.
I have an argument to my theory and maybe a answer for it.In ANH why didn't the stormtroopers pick up on Obi-wan and Luke having the Force withthem and they fell for Jedi "trickery" if there DNA was from the orginal batch developed by the Kamenios.Maybe by time those 'Troopers had been cloned and develop that part of their DNA matrix had gone away since apparently their combat skills inheritated from Jangos DNA had also left.But for Boba he was able to develop force sensitive ability  since he was not programed like the other clones.
Just a thought

Shame on me for not knowing the origin of Fett's fight with Vader.  Could someone please bring me up to speed on this?

I want to point out, again, that using a Force Point gave a character four extra d-6 to an attempt, versus a Character Point offering just one six-sided die to the roll, (speaking in terms of the original Star Wars game).  My reading of the Fett trilogy supported this difference.

4-Lom was the protocal droid-gone-combat that served with the Force-sensative Zuckuss, who was the one that dreampt of going to the Light Side, joining the Rebellion, and training with Luke.  Droids can't have visions, not even 4-Lom.

Lastly, Imperial stormtroopers are NOT the clones!!  Cloning was outlawed by Emperor Palpatine himself, (though he did apparently have a 25 year old clone of himself awaiting his mental transfer at the Battle of Endor, when he fell down the reactor core).  Stormtroopers are just the marines of the Empire, human men picked from various worlds, without Force Sensativity.  Palpatine was not going to fall prey to a Order 66, so he banned cloning, and Vader hunted down any would-be jedi.

I'd say that Vader let Fett live because Boba wasn't trained, (he knew that he could take Boba in a fight as easily as anyone else).

No it was 4-Lom he learnt intuition from Zuckuss and had a vision of that. I dont think there's much chance of me being wrong since i have just read that part of the book.

Thanks Dealer of Death, for that explanation.  I haven't  played the SW rpg since '95, and only briefly then.  Ok, I'll let it go, based on this.

I still say, about a droid intuition, that 4-Lom's "vision" is wickedly farfetched.  If any droid could experience something like that, it would have been the IG-88s, but Fett's advantage over those units was that very difference.  True, I can't beat a chess computer on any but the most basic levels, but advanced algorythms don't exactly match true yet obscure foresight.

he has a certian sensitivity and pick upon things
