Is Fett evil? (Page 7 of 15)

I think that they show boba fett working with the empire and other dark organizations because they want to give you a little......i mean little*  evil/dark vibe....when you see boba. They also want to show ya how he should be feared.......as he is by most in the sw galaxy. Only those who hire him were not in fear because they knew that at that moment......he was hired out and was their pawn to use. On the other hand.....i think there is a good side to him where he only does it for the money.....not caring who/what he has to hunt. After all.............he is seeking bounty (bounty hunter). I get a vibe that is like........independant, Hard to the core, Ruthless, Feared, Mysterious thing that is only controlled by 1 person.....himself!!!!   that is what makes BOBA FETT my favorite charactor.

Never in my entire life have I ever heard it that well put.

Now I've been....absent, for awhile, and I know most people don't bother reading the older posts. So, I'll restate my opinion.

Boba Fett, I steadfastly believe, is a justice-dealer. Now justice, especially natural justice, isn't always pretty, but it's right. If I saw a rapist strapped to four trucks by his extremeties, and had them all floor it in different directions, I'd think, "Excessive, but not wrong."

Killing by itself is no sin, the commandments be damned, it's the motive behind it that defines its moral significance. If one kills for pleasure, then they in turn deserve to be killed in justice. I compare Boba to The Punisher, and see many similarities. They don't just kill for revenge, for as the latter said:

"In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No. Not vengeance. This is punishment."

And as Boba Fett himself said:

"There is no greater good than justice."

They're killers, but they're not evil. They're brutal, but they're no sinners. For all their wanton slaughter, I see no greater good than men like these two.

I third it...but, and I looked this up, didn't Boba once think to himself that the reason that he didn't dream was because he had no remorse/regrets and that he was somewhat a just man? What's your views on that?

I think Boba is just by his own standards, but since I believe that there is a real definition of right and wrong, I think that his standards are not always correct.  I think he's got some serious moral issues at times, but committing evil acts does not make a person evil.  To be evil you'd have to be a sadist or something like that.

I Agree with MANDALORIANSPY9..............FETT isn't evil he just does the dirty work for whoever pays the best thats all...

From my point of view, ruthess would just mean killing any one who gets in his way, which he does.

Excellent observation - especially the fact that he's mysterious because he's controlled by only 1 person.  The Empire and the Rebs are both fighting for control of the galaxy.  The crime syndicates and dirtbags are fighting for control of illicit doings.  Fett, he profits from them all, making them his pawns.

In my opinion, I'm pretty sure Fett's not evil.  Do you wonder why Fett doesn't have a great big mansion and other things like that which only billionares can afford, even though he gets so much money for his work?  According to Wikipedia and certain comics, Boba donates most of the money he earns to orphanages and charities.  That's pretty solid proof tha he isn't evil.

In a book he gave a few thousand to some orphans. (No Disintagrations, Please, in the book Tales from the New Republic)

Otherwise, I agree, he doesn't "give most his money to charities". As I've said in the past, don't trust wikis.

Wasn't it the orphans that caused him to give the money though? It seems to me that's what that was about, like that one little orphan girl said something... I can't remember. It's fairly short maybe I should reread that again.
