Jango and Boba aren't evil they just got hired by evil people (Page 1 of 2)

Much like the other topics up, this is more like an isloated reason as to why they aren't evil rather than several different people's opinions rolled up in the same topic.  I say this is better covered in the "Is Fett evil?" topic in Serious Geeking. Although if the subject matter was say, "The difference between the contractor and the Bounty hunter" where you compared  which of the two-the hired, and the employer-were the worst.
Simplified, is the person doing the job just as guilty as the one who was hired he/she.

(Please note the editing.)  To kill for pay is evil.  It is the main requirement for a role as an assassin, and the proof that one devalues life and can "cross the line" to get the job done.  Whether or not modern soldering falls into this category is debatible, but most of the SW bounty hunters would definately be considered evil.  The only ones that might not be are Zuckas and Dengar.  The former one focused on capturing his prey, and the latter decided to turn his life around and leave the business to enjoy his life with a new lover/wife.

Fett's spiritual backruptcy is only outdone by the two Sith lords.

Since this is basically a Moral debate. How can you judge when killing someone is right?
Sure if you could have turned back time and killed Hitler it would be for the better but what if the Art school he'd aplied to had accepted him and he'd become an artist and not a soldier. Also he was a bit of a scapegoat. At the time Germany was in a period of economic crisis caused by World War 1 and the fees they were forced to pay. So you could go even further back and just tried to stop the first war by saving the Arch Duke or convincing the Europeans that they shouldn't make Germany pay the fees for the entire war because there was no other  liable nation left with two Imperial nations now disbanded that had been in the war alongside Germany.
Death is made by Human descision; descision, morality, and opinion are all different between people. So you could say none of it has any grounds at all.
I don't know exactly, but from that you could say no judgement is founded on logic or in any sense the greater good. Because it's all selective.
"There is no way to be anything. Because reality is subjective."
So everything is "evil" and "good" at the same time in a certain sense. Much the way a Lie is Truth:Truth is Lie

I agree with you, trooper120

So maybe I chose the wrong word, perspective fits better. I have a tendency to over analyze things and it gets messy.

Playing KOTOR today, my character had a brief chat with Canderous, the Mandolore that joins your team in the escape from Talis.  He is as close to Fett as you can find in that game, or anywhere, but perhaps a little more communicative.  This guy was battle-hungry, plain and simple.  They live to kill, and that's an evil standpoint because the definition of goodness is respect for life and beauty.

"They were just doing their job" was the defense for German SS troops and Gestapo for their war crimes.  Then, in his latest post, he took the other side of the argument, sympathising with the Jews.  Mind you, I'm not speaking for or against either argument, just pointing out that he gave two opposing views.

I forgot to mention that Canderous is well into the Dark Side meter in the game.  With enough midichlorians, he would go straight to Sith training.

And I agree with trooper120 that technological advances are not worth the deaths of WW II, not by any stretch.  That's why I listed four major ways that the world grew by that conflict.

Good, in both my eyes and those of a certain friend of mine and former meber here,  means ending the lives of those who wish to do evil. Boba Fett himself once said: There is no greater good than justice. Fett administers justice, to whatever end that might be, and that makes him one of the greatest men in the Star Wars galaxy.

Now Boba Fett was hired by evil people. True. In some sense when he went after Nil Posundum(sp?) it was justice in some sense considering Nil stole from Jabba. Although if he was hired to assassinate people he could be considered good or evil depending on who he was killing. Now I guess perspective is to ourselves, but from my perspective Boba Fett is (sob) evil.

Now with the things going on in this time my moral perspective probably conflicts with alot of people. I mean there are some bad things going on today which I won't mention because I do not wish to make the other members mad.

If Fett is evil, and we admire him...  Then wouldn't that make us evil, or "twisted" if you prefer, to some degree?

High school bullies aren't allowed to like Superman.  They like Vader.

We can't run around killing people due to the constrines of our modern societies, and because it isn't an accepted career.  Granted, there are places in the world that prove an exception, just as there are some aggressive positions that approach a Wild West scenario, but wouldn't you enjoy a looser world where you had to carry a weapon of some kind for self protection instead of relying on the facade of our due process system that leaves those weapons only to cops and criminals?
