1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Boba Fett ESB Version

Thanks D.R.37!

Yeah, he's the Vader to Solo, so if Vader made it into RO I can't imagine Fett wouldn't appear somewhere in Solo. I also imagine he'll have some different colored armor for the sheer sake of new toys. Maybe they'll partly emulate the Holiday Special armor. Maybe.

As Lucas said, the money is in the toys. But yeah it'll be interesting to see what they do with him if he does appear. They rivalry between them needs to be fleshed out, although I hope they give him a RO Vader style scene where he just goes ham and wipes out a bunch of Hans buddies.

It would be nice to see the true Fett finally doing battle as was the original promise of ROTJ (which failed).

I'd even settle for a good hand-to-hand like the Jango fight with Obi-Wan.

He was definitely drunk in ROTJ.

I just wanna see him melt smugglers with a flamethrower.

This would be incredible.

Seriously! That by itself would be worth the price of the ticket! Han knows Fett by his name in ROTJ, so it would certainly make sense that they had some history before ESB.

New tools definitely. In the comics he's got like 99999999999. An answer for every situation.

Boba vs Jango....? But how?

Proxy from the Force Unleashed, he's a droid that could change his form through holograms. He could even become Darth Maul and adopt his skills with a lightsaber.

 

[D.R.37]

Starkiller’s droid versus Fett? Which comic is that?

I just added an additional scan to clear that up.

Ahh gotcha. Thought they only did the books didn’t know they released a comic.

But wasn't the Boba Fett the most known bounty hunter in the galaxy? I also know a name of lot of (in)famous people who i never met.

True, but it would be such a great opportunity to give them some personal history.

No doubt about it. Don't get me wrong, i like your idea. But i can't see Boba coming for Han personally or his close friends since when they meet later, there are no big fireworks of emotions. But it would be definitely cool to include him somehow in the story.

I can’t temember which book it was but there was a story from the old EU that had Han take the Falcon out for a spin as he’s bored during the peace brought about by the death of the Emperor (before we were told they all fought for nothing as a company called the First Order picked up all the old Imperial stock at a massive liquidation auction). He ends up on some shady place from his past and runs into Fett and they end up gun barrel to gun barrel. The story mentions a time in the past when a younger Fett witnessed a younger Han win a gladiatorial type contest where he fought for his life... saying there was a respect for his bravery etc. Even Lucas shoehorned him into ANH. I don’t think there needed to be any fanfare for the ESB contract... Fett was one of many interested in Jabba’s contract and when they met at Cloud City Han obviously aimed his shots at Vader. I’m sure most of us could write a half convincing scenario for Fett to have a cameo in Solo.

Very true, and good point. They both worked for Jabba, and maybe just knew of each other by name. I guess I'm being hopeful to see a little Fett in the movie, period. Even 90 seconds like Vader in R1. I'm looking for a silver lining, because I'm not really loving Han & Lando being played by other actors. Feeling really iffy on the film after the mess TLJ was... Ever since 1983, I've been waiting to see my favorite characters again, and I personally feel it was a mistake for Disney/Lucasfilm to kill off Solo, before getting him back together with Luke & Leia one more time. The three heroes together one last time. I'm fine with introducing new characters for a new generation (being about merchandise and $$$$ really), but I (and I imagine a lot of OT fans, want to see our original characters). I would have made a Yoda movie, Fett movie and Luke Skywalker movie before I even thought about re-casting Solo & Calrissian. And an Obi-Wan film too. And yes, he's been recast, but Alec Guinness is unfortunately dead, and Ewan McGregor was IMO the only really good thing about the prequels.

So, long story short, just want to see some Fett...

Yes this, just include him in the story somewhere/somehow Give us an appetizer because we probably have another 2+ years till the Fett movie comes out, and it's been a long wait since 1983...
