Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → Is Fett evil?
I'm sure that Fett has a genuinely sincere "good" side to him (example: orphans) and a more self sufficient..."what can it do for me" kinda side to him, that seems to give him a slightly evil shadow to him...that many of us here enjoy but many of his enemies shudder at.

Well maybe Fett is like
"Am I gonna Spend this Money?"
and if the answer is "NO" or "Maybe later"
then he'd probably just give it to someone who needs it more and is almost definitely not going to try and use it against him
For example: Orphans....
I told you! He's not Evil! He's Ruthless!
Fett wants money. Money is the root of all evil. That said, maybe.
That quote was written by a poor person....
Wanting someting evil does not make one evil.
Since a lot of you guys buy into the prequels, which go by the assertion of Lucasfilm that any Expanded Universe material is NOT canon, i.e. books, comics, video games, other media that isn't that ACTUAL films. What tells us Boba Fett has a moral code? There is nothing. Nothing tells us that other than the EU. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're wrong, just giving you food for thought.
P.S. Money isn't the root of evil, the capitalistic infrastructure is. 
I do not believe Fett to be evil at all. Just driven.
Eric, there's nothing in the Prequels that makes the original material incorrect. Tales of the Bounty Hunters never says that Jaster was actually Boba, or that "Jaster" wasn't really Boba assuming grampa's identity. All the other books/comics (as far as I know) never say anything more than, "Some people said that his real name was Jaster Mereel." The prequels and the original books are completely compatible, and as a matter of fact, the personality of Boba in the prequel kids' books, morality included, is strikingly similar to the Original Boba, enough so that it can be seen as a step in his personal evolution.
Twin Engines gave me the impression that while Fett didn't give the orphans money on that particular occasion, he must have done so on a regular basis in the past; otherwise, the idea wouldn't have come to his mind. Logically we can conclude that he continued to give money to orphans in the future--whenever it was convenient, that is.

Mereel was the basis for his moral background. Also the books ARE thrown out. There are old comics that have actual Mandalorians fighting in the clone wars -- not CGI stormtrooper knock-offs. Anyway, there's also a lot of other tales books that are crap now too, like the Davin Fleth, stormtrooper tale.
He is kinda mean some times but he is not evil.

Of course he was. I don't think anyone ever suggested otherwise.

Who says the books are thrown out? I was under the impression that the Mandalorians DID fight in the Clone Wars under the new storyline (although this issue is very foggy and confusing for me), and that after the Emperor lost the ability to make clones they started using ordinary people for stormtroopers, which makes Davin Felth entirely possible.
From my understanding, Spar was leading the Mandalorian Protecters in some battles in the Clone Wars.
I heard one or two clonetroopers went renegade or whatever and started up the Mandalorians on their own and after that little group died out two or three loyal followers were left over (those guys from the old Marvel comics) who went on saying they were Mandalorians.
And, yes, with accelerated growth the Clonetroopers would be in their 60s by ANH, and I doubt 60-year-olds make ideal soldiers. They did indeed start acadamies for regular stormtroopers, like regular people who wanted to be stormtroopers, people liek Davin Felth, and Han. Han was a stormtrooper at one point. Some of the Stormtroopers are clones, just not Jango clones. I read in an Insider that, say, some General has a brother and the brother doesn't want to join the Imperial navy, they'd make a clone of the brother. And Stormie clones were also a sort of gift. Like an Admiral was having a birthday party, someone would clone him and make the clone a stormtrooper as a present.
Chrys, in Tales, it does say about Fett's quote about Justice being the greastest good, while standing trial was spoken by "Jaster Mereel, who would later be kwown as Boba Fett." However, because of the all the prequels and the Open Seasons story, it is believed now that Boba used Jaster's name as an alias sometimes, and that it was an alias while a Journeyman Protector on Concord Dawn. Kind of an "out of respect" kind of thing. That way all the books can still be used and considered part of Fett's history.
As for the Mandalorians during the Clone Wars, the renegade ARC Trooper, Spar, reorganized the Mandalorian Protectors (who had Tobi Dala and Fenn Shysa in their ranks) and fought on the side of the Separatists. They referred to him as the "son of Jango Fett," which explains the Marvel comics story of why Tobi and Fenn thought he was Boba. Something which Spar didn't discourage, apparently and it got him killed by Ailyn Vel later on in life.
By the time of ANH, the Empire still used clones, they just had more than one facility, and used many different clone donor's. Usually from high ranking families. This way one facility couldn't be targeted and cripple the Empire's strength. They also augmented their forces, though, with regular enlistee's. Making it a mixed group of clones and regular humans.
And, yes, with accelerated growth the Clonetroopers would be in their 60s by ANH, and I doubt 60-year-olds make ideal soldiers.
What about Boba?
They didn't put growth acceleration in Boba.
No. He's not evil.
Yeah, Boba didn't get growth acceleration, which makes him about 30 in ANH.
When he was Mandalore, he was about sixty.
I remember doing some quick age calculations awhile back, considering that he knew Cradossk a long time ago. From what I remember, during most of his books he would have to be around 50 or 60.
Remember, if you've read the Republic Commando books, 60 is considered to be around middle age in the Republic universe. Older, yeah, but not an invalid. Kal Skirata was around sixty when he was portrayed in the books, and he was a tough little guy. Somehow, I imagine my grandpa, thinner, but with those big popeye navy forearms that are like a vise-grip whenever he grabs hold of you, because you've been bad. You knew you screwed up and were getting your butt busted if he got a hold of you like that. Ouch!!
I think the quote that best sums up Boba comes from Die Hard III, spoken by the villiain in the film:
"I'm no monster, I'm a soldier. However I sometimes work for monsters.."
He's just doin' his job. And being a bounty hunter ain't like workin the counter at Hallmark.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" I think this is something Boba would agree with. He doesn't sit there and let criminals go free, he hunts them down. So I'd say he's a good man doing his bit to thwart evil.
