I can’t wait for the Auralnauts remix of this.

The Wookiee braids will be retconned as 'gifts' -- tokens of high esteem bestowed upon Boba Fett by Wookiees who wanted to honour him for joining their clan/tribe/whatever.

If he ever wears the Wookiee braids again Disney will have Space PETA show up to protest outside the palace.

One of the things I love about Star Wars is its black-and-white storytelling.

When it started going gray, it ceased to be Star Wars. This fairy-tale adventure should not be complicated. Rogue One is about as 'gray' as it should get.

Well said and yep totally agreed on RO. And none of its three main bad guys (Krennic, Tarkin, Vader) were gray which is part of what made them so damn cool.

We're supposed to root for the *heroes* not sympathize with the freaking villains.

I've always thought it goes beyond even being unrepentant about the brutal necessities of bounty hunting for the money. I interpreted it as he actually *enjoyed* his brutal job.

One of the many questions we first asked about Boba was what those braids around his shoulder were. And we got a very unambiguous answer: they were braided Wookiee scalps, worn as trophies from some of his kills. He not only kills as part of his job, but there's an element of pride and the intimidation of rubbing your face in it by wearing trophies of his victims.

Lines up pretty damn well with a guy who initially seemed to only begrudgingly accept the condition of no disintegrations. Filoni has spent more than a decade (remember: well *before* Disney came along) trying to pretend that Boba Fett was some reluctant bounty hunter who never actually wanted to pull the trigger. I've always called obvious bull**** on that, and always will.

Heck yes!

When Chewie started flipping out in the Carbon Freezing Chamber I could almost hear Fett saying to himself "Finally!" that a valid excuse to blow the wookiee away presented itself.

He seemed to know that such a lethal response wasn't necessary since he didn't take offense to Vader shutting it down (and we saw from previous scenes that Fett had no problems complaining to Vader's face.)

It'll be ok as long as he wears them, respectfully.

 

[TaliBane]

Uh-oh... broke his own rule.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The dreams are back...

 

[Asta]

"I have come here to chew bubble gum and wash my whites.... and I'm all out of bubble gum. Please direct me to the nearest laundromat."

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

That's a nice shot.

The dreams are back...

When he said that, Fennec totally ignored him, and suggested that he should get dressed. I don't know what to make of it. He was letting his guard down a bit, showing vulnerability, and she had no time for that, but why? Is that an early warning sign of a future betrayal or she just not the sentimental type? Does she see it as a sign of weakness perhaps? He's already looking weak by sparing people's lives and making questionable decisions that Fennec clearly doesn't agree with.

These questions are keeping awake at night. I fear for the eggman's life.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You stole that from Dune.



Fennec is tougher, meaner, less tolerant than Boba... that's why I think she'll die before the Season ends.

Chewblacca is destined to become Boba's friend. I can't unsee this.

He's such a wuss. Even AOTC Anakin, possibly the whinest character in all of SW, tried to keep his dreams about his mother a secret from Padme until she was able to pry them out of him.

But this new Boba goes out of his way to share his dreams with a woman who clearly doesn't care.

The funny thing is, Boba has clearly talked to Fennec bout his dreams before, hence the "The dreams are back" line, so Fennec is probably tired of listening to him talk about his dreams and she's just tolerating him at this point, reminding herself that she owes him her life.



Even Tony, the whiniest person ever, knew better than to open up to his guys, so he would talk to a psychiatrist instead. I don't know how close Boba and Fennec are, but as a leader, Boba cannot show any weaknesses. He should know better.

Forgot about that bit

So when he was still under George Lucas’s wing? Filoni is hardly solely to blame there. Also Boba in TCW was a child, his only real goal was revenge on Mace Windu (which he obviously never achieved).

Plus he’s fully willing to deliver a kidnapped young girl to an old sleezy guy for what can only be assumed to he nefarious purposes, just for some money. This implies that if he takes a job he does what he needs to do to complete said job.

Morrison better not turn that vicious looking Wookiee into a pansy too!
