The Book Of Boba Fett (December 2021)

[Khev]

I don't think the current Boba Fett could take either of those girls in a fight.

Fixed, lol.

 

[jye4ever]

Ok he sounded great there!

But when they say witness the return of a legend they clearly must be referring to the pop-culture legend because as much as I love him in ESB he wasn’t a legend hell his legacy came all crashing down rather tragically and rather quickly in ROTJ lol

Im sure he became something of a legend after ROTJ as "That green guy that accidentally fell in the pit. Remember that ****? Crazy."

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Fixed, lol.

Maybe he couldn't handle them back then either, but nobody knew that because he looked so badass.

As you know I love ROTJ as a whole, but Fett at the Sarlaac was indeed a very unfortunate sequence. The only good thing about it is that in a strange way it added to the mystery/mystique of his character over the years to follow with fans speculating whether or not he could have survived. Still let's call it what it is, a blooper reel embedded in the OT and a huge blunder by George.

That being said, Boba Fett is probably the coolest looking character in the history of movies.

The goofy scream and jet pack whistling really made it cheesy.

GL was completely out of touch with the fandom over Boba’s role in ROTJ as we’d spent three years wondering how that showdown would play out. Even Mark Hamill expressed how disappointed he was with Fett’s lousy exit.

It’s a bit of a double edged sword now though because if Fett had been in a definitive fight with Luke and let’s say lost his head then we wouldn’t have him in awesome Mando season 2. I also enjoyed the EU books that explored Fett surviving the Sarlaac. I guess we need definitive fight that still somehow ends up with Fett in the Sarlaac.

Would be nice to see Mirta Get show up in this Mando series down the track.

That's a great point. If his head was lopped off and his headless corpse flopped to the ground like Jango's, we'd never have the decades of speculation.

Then again, even after seeing Darth Maul get split in half and seeing his halves go tumbling down miles of industrial tunnels, people still insisted "Oh all he needs is robot legs." Which I always found moronic. But, what does Lusasfilm do anyway? Give him robot legs. Stupid.

I accepted the retcon for Fett's death, and even the Emperor's, cause I really liked "Dark Empire" and those explanations were good enough for me. I have no idea how they justified Palpatine surviving in the movies cause I never saw that last one.

I think Boba Fett had a silly, dumb disposal in "Jedi" cause Lucas was in such a hurry to tie everything up, end the story as quickly as possible, and move on from Star Wars and start the next phase of his life. Oh, if only he knew...

Feels like a parody.

Even goofier when you watch the Phantom Kick and no sound

 

[punisher1974]

The Asian Twi'lek looks absolutely horrified that she accidentally made eye contact with the most feared incel in the galaxy.

I think it's more of a look of "I shaved for this"

 

[Otomofan]

I thought it's been well established by the nerd community that the so-called "Phantom Kick" was actually Luke doing a totally rad Force kick??

fake it til you make it

TDKR can not use this excuse lol

Juicy Smollett would be proud!

This may be the single most hilarious gif in all of SW.

I don't think one single element is in sync with any other, lol.

WHY does the first guy just give himself to the Sarlacc after throwing his gun in the air? Is he diving after it? ("Wait, that's my favorite gun, aiiiieEEEE!") The second guy looks like he's ducking Boba Fett while the third inexplicably runs unarmed into Luke's lightsaber.

Fett in the background is just freaking legendary.
