Fett Unmasked (Page 2 of 3)

One of the reasons that Fett hides his face is that it is the face of the clone wars, a secret best kept on the downlow.  It's alright that Dengar and the others saw Boba's face because it was beyond Fett's control, and because their not old enough to realize the connection, (though that's arguable, I'll admit).  I think it was genius to make Fett the clone material, Lucas's moment of brilliance.  It's also too cool that Dooku finished raising Boba, and never trained him in the Force, even though Fett is force sensitive.

I agree. When did Dooku ever raise Boba? Dooku took Boba in for maybe a day or two but abandonded him right after that. As for being Force sensative, years ago I wandered back and forth thinking he was and wasn't. But even when I thought he was I always figured it was very low. As in he's only a hair above the average person.

The book where Dooku has Boba is actually two books. It starts at the end of The Fight to Survive and ends at the beginning of Crossfire. (Books 1 and 2 of the young Boba Fett series)

Actually, Boba IS Force sensitive. Its far higher then a normal person (why else would he be as good as he is?), but its not as high as the Jedi level. So training him would be pointless anyways.

Yeah, as far as I know it was never actually stated that Boba's Force Sensative, so I'm curious about that too.

I too am curious about his force-sensitivity...?

Admittedly, I haven't read the second of the Young Fett books, so I didn't know that he didn't stay with Dooku for ten years.  Thanks, Miba, for helping with that.

About his Force sensitivity, I saw a write up of Boba Fett for the Star Wars RPG, (the original pre-d20 system), long ago, and he was listed as untrained but with nine dark side points!  So this means that whenever he wants to excell in something, all he has to do is get pissed off, which is hardly a change in his normal behavior, and exert his will.  It is an inert, latent ability for him, that he doesn't really understand.  Conan the Barbarian had latent psionic talents (wild empathy and a danger sense) in this fashion.  For those who don't know what a dark side point can do when used, it can effectively double, or even triple, your effort to achieve something.  The clones minds are tampered with, so perhaps they can't access their abilities in the Force.  Perhaps this means that they don't even have the sensitivity any longer.  I can't fairly speculate on it without reading all that's written on the subject, but it makes sense to me so far.  The old Star Wars game didn't rate Fett's level of sensitivity as compared to what's needed for Jedi/Sith training, but that's because it just wasn't part of the game.  You either had it or you didn't, and it was a skill to be developed through experience and leveling.  Nine points was a lot of power to play with!

Please excuse my wandering far off the topic.

I wouldn't want to see Fett's face while he still breathed.  That would have a drastic psychological effect to my Happy Place, knowing that I'm drawing my last breath!  Perhaps he was meaning to scare Lando out of his mind to effect his draw speed...

Yes, the exact one I thought it was. Do you see hs head turned ever so slightly? Thats Fett. And do ya see his glairing eyes? Thats Fett. Everything about this pic tells me that this is Boba's face!

This was taken at the recent Disney Star Wars shindig.  I thought it was a very nice nod to the scene from Attack of the Clones.  Enjoy.

Hmmn...  Is that Jeremy Bulloch?

Yes. For more on Jeremy, please see Ask Jeremy and JeremyBulloch.com.

Thanks for the sites, BFFC Admin.  They're just what I've been asking for at Xmas since the Battle of Endor.
