Boba's Morality (Page 1 of 2)

Yeah, I think Boba's much stricter with himself than Jango is.

I always figured Boba decided what was the safest way to stay alive. Drinking or drugs would cause him to loosen up, lower his guard, and then if he was attacked he couldn't shoot straight. The un-married stuff, I thought, had to do with loyalty, like, no sleeping around. Or maybe it has to do with, if he started going with any girl who walked by eventually an assassin would get to him and get him down with one good kick and then shoot him, and he doesn't want that to happen.

But otherwise, I'm not sure if it's a Mandalorian thing or not.

I think Boba would see drinking, drugs and sex as weakness. He sees the creatures around him submitting and crumbling under the power of such "vices" so therefore he obstains. Plus sex could end up in either the birth of a child or love of a woman that could be used as leverage against him.

I agree with the people who posted above. He is a wise fellow. That is how I always imagined his morality, and I haven't read that comic... He doesn't need happiness or things disguised as happiness (drugs, alchohol, sex, ect, ect...) to keep him running. He does things for the money. And he is smmart, hhe is aware some of those things could hinder his abilities, or even kill him. They would leave him open for attack, or control him. Boba does not want to be controlled by one of these things. He said once, "The one that angers you owns you." If something else owned him, he wouldn't even need that phrase.

That was a touch of fancy added by the actor playing him in that role.  Actually, if I remember correctly, it wasn't even an actor, but one of the crew.  He was qouted in an article as adding those bits all on his own. Our boy Jeremy was not in the suit for that scene.

Also, I think he kept up a good front.  In the books, where Jaba sends Leia to his room, he doesn't send her back because he doesn't want ot **** off Jaba.  Fett knows how to play games.  What's really going on behind the bucket, who knows?

Oh, yes, Boba hates weakness, I think anyway. And anything immoral like that is a weakness. I didn't think of that before.

And, the story where old-Boba and old-Han meet up is Tales of the Bounty Hunters, I think.

And, about Boba with Rystall, Jeremy said he didn't like that at all and that Boba's more the type to push her away than to touch her chin, or something like that.

hehe, I like that idea. Then he'd toss the coffin into the sarlacc?

Chrys, would you mind uploading the video if you still have it? Sounds kinda humourous... as much as I don't like the whole Boba Fett flirting scene. Everytime I watch the movie with my brother he calls Boba a 'pimp' when we see that scene. >< And when I try to explain the truth, he just says I'm jealous. -_-;;

Anyway, everyone here has a really good evaluation of Boba Fett's morals.

I got it from theforce.net: Temuera Morrison and Jeremy Bulloch at the Sci-Fi Expo
Part 5 is the section where they talk about the Special Editions.  It doesn't take very long to download the whole thing, but if you're in a hurry, I would definitely suggest Part 7 (Tem sings), Part 8 (Tem does the "haka"), and Part 9 (Tem and Jeremy fight to see whether Boba or Jango would win.  Tem yells "Who's your daddy?  Who's your daddy?"  It's classic.)

Cool movie Chrys! I will have to watch some more of it...

(EDIT: Sorry the post is so short and useless, I did have more to say but I changed my mind after saying it...)

Yeah, that was in the Boba Fett scholastic book series.

I need to get that

I wouldn't think off him as a drinker, besides, he might have taken that sense of wanting alcohal when he had all those nerves and things taken out of him.
