What do YOU like most about Boba Fett? (Page 3 of 20)

I re-read the whole topic again (though I skipped the arguments near the end ) and it came to me that Fett is one of those characters who are "in phase" with the world they live in. Like Jango said "I'm a simple man trying to makes his way in the galaxy" (or something?), Boba is exactly the same way, if not even better than his father.

He manages to do his job and keep his identity secret at all times... He lives in a harsh universe, so he is harsh with the people he deals with. He's different from the rest of the chaotic creatures, crime lords out there trying to be fearsome and powerful, Fett obeys to a set of values and his views in justice. If most people acted accordingly to strong values like justice and responsibility, we wouldn't consider Fett like an extraordinary man. He isn't, he just does his job, and he does it right (no matter the outcome).

That was my ramble of the day

Yeah, I think of him as the Angel of Death.

They're releasing the old original VHSs on dvd in September, so we have that to look forward to anyway. We can hear Boba's REAL voice on a dvd now, instead of wearing out our VHS's. (sorry, I don't know what the plural form of "vhs" is)

Amen.

Amen.

AMEN!!!!

GRAAAHHHH!!!!!

WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!

YAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

*sigh*

Anyone gets plans of world domination, I'll have to organize and underground resistance which may or may not be the plot in a major motion picture. I, of course, will die in a sad music, slow-motion scene of me gunning down advancing troops in a bottleneck while getting riddled with bullets myself. This will follow an awesome rock music scene of me with dual smgs killin' more bad guys.

If only my life was a movie....

Yeah, Temuera's good, just not as Boba's voice. They grew up in different times and places, so they would naturally have different voices. It's not all genetics. Say two people grew up and got married in England and have Brittish accents. Then they come over to America and have a kid, when that kid's grown up he'll have no trace of Brittish accent, at least I don't think so. So how would Boba have the same accent as Jango?

Yes, they hammer it into our heads in Anthropology that culture and ethnicity are purely a human construction, so it would be silly to say that they were heritable.  Of course, Boba had ten years of listening to that accent, but I think that after a while you would lose it.  Especially considering that he would have a reason to hide his accent on purpose.

I like Boba because I never know what he's going to do.  You know Darth Vader's going to kill all his henchmen.  You know Yoda's going to do the "right" thing.  But Boba's on the gray side.  One day he might be letting a renegade stormtrooper go free because the guy has become a storyteller for small children.  Another day he might be shooting some depressed old widower for not paying him.  You never know.  He gets to choose whether he'll do good or do evil in each new situation.  And that makes him more human, more realistic, and easier to relate to.  We all say that Boba is too strong to be tempted, but I would say that he falls victim to temptations that Luke Skywalker would never even think about.  So I suppose you could say that I like Boba because, on a deeper level, he's like all of us--mortal.

Then I'll get air dropped near your position, and I'll be like: "No!  You killed Sci!"  And then even cooler rock music will play and I'll grab my Bushmaster and kill everybody else.  And then it'll turn out that Scifi wasn't dead, and I'll go, "Dang, your not dead!"  And he'll go, "Dang straight."  And then We'll kill more bad guys.  With lots and lots of blood.  THE END

What if I carry out my plan to take over the world and make everyone carry IQ cards, and people below a certain intelligence could only live in certain places, while the smarter people got Hawaii and Florida?  Would you still lead a resistance, or would you fight for my cause? 

Like Miba said, I like Tem's voice, but he's just not Boba.  They're two completely different characters, and I can't help but suspect that GL is trying to merge them into a single entity, thus destroying everything we love about him.  I think the powers that be are trying to force us to get bored with the Fettster.  BUT I'm a conspiracy theorist, so who knows?

Then of course we need a scene where we're standing back to back, firing our assault weapons hard against an onslaught of the mindless creatures that the new evil regime created through secret biological experiments. Me with my G36, you with your Bushmaster (the bull-pup configuration customized for lefties), raking 5.56mm rounds into the mass of enemies. Glorious.

Go Temuera voice, it applies better to the timeline.

Guys, let's keep the voice discussion in the correct thread.

Third reason I like Boba: He is under tremendous pressure to be perfect, and if he were to mess up, his whole reputation would be ruined and it would basically mean disaster for him.  I sympathize with that feeling because I am also a perfectionist, although my issues deal with academics rather than hunting things.  If I had messed up in high school, it would have destroyed many people's realities, and although I was fortunate enough to never have any problems, the pressure was still there.  It's strange when you know you're going to succeed, and you know it's silly to question yourself, but you still hear the little voice in your head asking, "But what if you don't?"  So to summarize, I like Boba because I also strive for perfection.  Sure, we've never heard him doubt himself, but does that mean he doesn't do it?  Is he such an egomaniac that he never falls victim to the human tendency to question one's worth?
