Why doesn't Boba Fett have a girlfriend? (Page 1 of 3)

yeeeea he is, awesome!!!

LOL, yeah, in happy-fun-time-make-believe-land that's bad ***, but in the real world I'd be like, "Wait, you do what for a living???"

There's hundreds of reasons that he's single. One thing that comes to mind at the moment is that a lover would be an automatic target for his enemies.

Yep, that's why I think he doesn't have one. Having a significant other is really baggage, if you think about it. You have to stay in touch with them and hang around them and stuff like that.

Would Fett even have any scars from the Sarlacc? I mean, didn't he loose most of his skin and then have it grown back or something? That would make me think that all his old scars would have disappeared, but I'm sure he got more....perhaps I don’t know what I am saying....

He does have acid burns from the Sarlacc. He also has a prosthetic lower right leg (as mentioned by a previous poster), and was genetically damaged to the point where he couldn't have children even if he wanted to. (Read Tales of the Bounty Hunters to find out more about that)

Guess that's enough to make most girls not want him huh? *rolls eyes* Personally, I think it gives him more character.

Anyway, besides the above reasons listed, I think Boba doesn't have a girlfriend because he hasn't found one who matches him in ability or wits. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to fall for a "nice rack" or anything like that so yeah...I'll shut up now before I start to ramble.

Ha ha, I think you might have a good point there.

He also may have confidence issues when it comes to women.  Or, if you go for the new stuff Karen Traviss is writing, he doesn't want to risk screwing a relationship up and ruining another person's life.  And thirdly, maybe he thinks he's matured past the point of needing a relationship.  Lots of people get along just fine without any romance in their lives.  A date/spouse is not necessary to achieve happiness and fulfillment.  It just isn't one of his personal goals.

Despite what Karen Traviss said I don't see how his facial scarring could be bad considering that was just about the only part of his clothing/armor that stood up against the acid.

He does have older scars, but those scars are almost required for Mandalorians, so they don't count, lol

Sintas was killed... Ailyn was off over yonder... most red-blooded men would have found someone else. Most, but not all, apparently.

Michaelfett, most members at the BFFC have looked it up.  We're just trying to have an in-depth discussion.  Up until last month (or has it been longer?) he had never had a girlfriend, since his dead wife wasn't canon.

Bah! SINtas Vel... *twitch*

Fett with a girl? Meh, it's going against all that is Mando for the guy not to. Of course, apparently nobody's told him that. I think there's a couple reasons. First of all his dad hardwired it into him (thanks a lot, Jango, we owe you one...). He grew up being told not to get attached to anyone and what a weakness it can be, to the point where he doesn't have the power to find his own humanity. That aside, he just doesn't have the social skills to form anything beyond an 'I-killed-him-fork-over-my-credits' relationship with ANYONE. The poor man is so screwed up... he doesn't know how to have a positive relationship of any sort. He doesn't know why he should want to. He's more human than human, true. But at the same time all the humanity has been ripped away from him and left nothing but killer instinct and a handful of morals in an empty armor shell. I'd liken his state of being to that of Tolkien's Ringwraiths. But so very different.

Boba Fett doesn't have a girlfriend because he doesn't know how to, and doesn't know how to want to. He's a great man, but since he was ten years old he has been a broken man. It makes me sad.
