ya, but then again... not everyone that Boba is sent after could be considered "evil". But that goes back to our discussion on how you define evil since it is a matter of perspective.
In my mind Fett is definatly not evil because in the tale no disentigrations from tales of the new republic, Boba fights his way through an imerial garrison then when he finds out the bounty he was after helps orphans, he let him go and even donated a large sum of money to his cause. On wiki it says he riscked his life to save childeren from a burning school. So i dont think he is evil.
Do not always trust Wikis. As far as I know, he never risked his life to save children from a burning school.
i agree with Draco, dont always tust wikis. And also, Fett obviously has a soft spot for orphans since he was one and he snaps when people use their children as a bribe, this does not make him "non-evil."
Lets say he gets paid to take out a transport ship. Kills everyone on board without a second thought. He travels along and sees a ravaged ship drifting through space. He stops, helps out the people on board, and flys off.
Does the good deed cancel out the bad one? In my mind, no. Maybe you think differently, its just my opinion.
I think of it like The Piture of Dorian Gray. When Dorian does something cruel, his portrait gets uglier. I would assume that when he does somthing kind, it slightly goes back to normal.

Yea but Fett dosent ushually take on bountys like that he only takes on bountys that meet his code of houour he is very moral.
In my sincere opinion, Boba Fett was not "Evil". I don't think he purposely seeks out to do wrong, and finds pleasure in such a child-like game, he does it for the credits. Bounty Hunting is as much a job need doing as another sentient being going to work as senator, bank teller, etc. THe job may fall under the shadow of operating in somewhat an "Evil" way, but that, in essence, does not make the one who does it evil. Fett is a professional, he does his job, and he does it well. Evil is a state of side, such as Good vs. Evil. Fett doesn't pic sides, he is completely neutral.

nicely argued.
He isn't evil...he just has a harsh sense of justice.

a good point as well.
Of course boba is not evil. It's like saying Stewie Griffin is evil. There really is not real evil (except for Jack THompson) boba has a job to do and he see it to the end. The American dream. That's boba fett.
I don't know if this has been said before, but Boba is not evil, he's just ' a bounty hunting man trying to make his way in the galaxy' but got tangled up in the empire
Boba is far from inoccent.
I Know That Boba Fett Is Nuetral I Mean He Gets Hired By Darth Vader (darth Vader Probaly Payed A Bigger Price To Hire Him Than The Rebels Lol)
But He Could Been Hired By The Rebels If The Rebels Wanted To
Boba would not work for the Rebels, as they are unjust. He stated this in Tales of the Bounty Hunters.
Evil in the eye of the beholder. To Leia as they Boba was having Han loaded onto the Slave 1, she, more likely than not thought he was quite evil, but when he bailed them out at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong Wars he probably wasn't considered evil anymore. So all in all I wouldn't call him evil just antagonistic.
he's not evil he's not good he's neutral. That's one of the reasons why I like Boba Fett so much. He can be evil at times and he can be good and also he kills other evil people not just good ones I think that counts as somethig
No offense to any of your posts, but try reading through the posts before posting, everything in the last 5-6 posts has been said before in this topic. I know this because i wrote one myself.
i did say : i don't know if this has been said before but .....
If you are going to post something in the hopes of starting a conversation, make sure that no one here has said it.
Boba saw his 'father' get beheaded by a Jedi when he was ten. That would make him jaded, and seemingly cruel. He's more of a worldly man,( I KNOW this has been said before, hear me out) and his sense of justice is probably a reflection of his mindset. I don't think he's evil, just harsh, and cold.
Well the easiest thing to do is define evil, and then see if Boba Fett actually fits the bill. Personally I don't think he is evil, but no he's not a nice guy either.
And M. Assassin brings up a good point, he watched his only parent get beheaded as a boy. tends to skew one's perspective of right and wrong in the universe.
on ep 3 on the bonus dvd, jeremy bulloch says - why does boba fett wear a death head on his appualate???? 
I think the Jeremy was talking about the Mythosaur skull on Boba's shoulder. I do not think that he was saying that Fett is evil.
so he was saying that fett is good really? Bummer. i thought he was bad.
