I knew they couldn't keep my man down. Boba's so bad he'd just tear the Sarlacc a new Aft Hole with or without spikes surrounding it.

Dude was all style and no substance.  He's the metro-sexual poseur of the bounty hunter world.  Ohh look at my sweet armor!  Don't I look cool?   Really, what did he accomplish other than getting bitch slapped by a blind Han Solo and falling into a giant, sandy vagina?

Wasn't he actually a defective clone adopted by the guy they made the clone-mold from?

I think the other notable bounty hunters could use some more screen time too.

I mean.. you got IG-88, the escaped assassin droid, which could make for some cold calculating pursuit.  Bossk the Trandoshan, the lizard mannish beefcakes who live for hunting and supposedly have a special hatred for wookies.  Lots of storyline potential.

IG-88 looks like a badass in the Imperial Assault game.

Also, I think Slave-I looks stupid. There, I said it!

I thought Boba was the son of the clone-mold guy. Wasn't that in the second film of the new trilogy? Obiwan comes to confront him on the water world and Boba was just a little Fett then. I always wondered why he wore the helmet you couldn't see out of. Maybe it was so nobody could see him cry cause he lost his daddy. To a mean old Jedi with a weak English accent.

Jango was the dad that the clones were based on

Boba was the kid who wanted revenge on the Jedi for killing his dad

It was Nick Fury than decapitated old Jango.  Not Obi-Wan, not Laurence Fishburne.

btw SDR your quote is the best description of Bubba, ever!

Sir Slash

Yeah, that's right. I just couldn't remember if it was Boba and his Dad/Jango that Obiwan confronted on the water world. Maybe Boba's mother will be in film. She could be menopausal and they could call her, Having-A-Fett. ;D

In Episode 2 (IIRC?) the cloner said that Jango requested one of his clones, unmodified for enhanced aging and behavioral restrictions etc, for his own.  Which was Boba.

So, yeah, you were right.  B is a petrie dish baby.

Sir Slash

So, no mother. Just an egg or some such. Maybe that accounts for his attitude. No Chocolate Chip cookies growing up. Or maybe it was those damned Sonic Mines that screwed him up. They made me a little crazy for a couple of minutes too.

Wish I had sonic charges to play with when I was a kid. 

Would've made for quite the sandbox wars.

Yeah man. Cherry Bombs just can't compare.
