Infinities Image

Infinities comics are explicitly non-canon, so the image probably doesn't help, especially since we know he'll look liked Jango, not bizzare looking fellow. --SparqMan 13:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Why don't you actually read the section it's in? It talks about the comic the picture comes from, and what he may look like unmasked. And he's not a "bizarre" looking fellow. It's the same face as Jango (albeit a bit thinner, and scarred) QuentinGeorge 13:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I did read the section the image appears in, and it does not talk about the comic it came from (or note its explicit non-canon status). The face drawn in that comic has a significantly wider nose, different eye shape and brow structure, amongst other differences. Keep the image, but carefully explain that it is not a canon image of "Boba Fett unmasked". --SparqMan 14:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • A genetic clone need not look exactly like its progenitor. Genetics is but one part of development, nutrition and lifestyle also affect the way a person's appearance develops. Perhaps Boba was in an accident, and was forced to have reconstructive surgery, altering his appearance slightly. Besides, this image does not contridict with any other canon sources, so the point is somewhat moot.--Eion 16:06, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Just because it does not contradict does not mean it is accurate. I just take opposition to including information from Infinities without tagging it as officially and intentionally un-canon. --SparqMan 16:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • by including a link to the comic books article, I believe the requirment is fulfilled.--Eion 18:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Doom

This is still DOOMED! as far as I can see. That "Appearances" section should be deOOU'ed into a biography. --SparqMan 14:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • That's got nothing to be with being "Doomed". That's a cleanup. QuentinGeorge 21:57, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Quotations

The only quotation from that list the seems suitable is "He's no good to me dead." -- the rest are either too long or not particularly interesting. --SparqMan 16:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Clone-voice"?

the reasoning being that as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well.

What the hell is this? Where does it state that clones must sound like their source? If anything, Boba would sound like Jango because he´s been raised by him, not because he´s his clone. VT-16 22:53, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

  • How exactly does that make sense? If he is an exact copy of Jango, he will sound like Jango when he reaches that age. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:56, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
    • Identical twins (ie, real-life clones) sound similar, but not the same. Accent, for example, is learned, not inherited. QuentinGeorge 22:57, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
      • The clones of Republic Commando all have different voices, with only Boss having adopted Jango's Concord Dawn accent. And yes, it's perfectly rational to have clones with different speech patterns - Kwenn

New info for those who don't know

In Insider #80 there was a Mandalorian history article. In the article we learn that Fenn Shysa is the leader of the Mandalorians, who never died in the first place, and who were very much alive even during the Clone Wars. In fact 212 faught for the Confederacy. So whoever is editing this information I suggest you stop concidering the info is valid, and from an offical source. What Boba Fett DID NOT do was go to Concord Dawn and gather Mandalorians.

  • And I suggest you stop deleting whole paragraphs of the article. You keep deleting tha Ailyn Vel information, for example, which has nothing to do with what you are talking about. And please sign your posts. QuentinGeorge 01:07, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
    • See? I've managed to edit that section WITHOUT removing the entire paragraph? Amazing! QuentinGeorge 01:15, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Wookie or Jedi?

I thought those braids on his armour were from his time as a Jedi hunter, not wookie scalps. Is there a EU reference that can verify what these braids are?

  • No, those braids are wookiee scalps. Source: Behind the Magic CD-ROM. The only problem is that this encyclopedia won't run on Win XP... bummer. Inmobilus 22:11, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • A number of visual dictionary-type sources refer to the braids as Wookiee pelts. --SparqMan 06:52, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Placement of Battlefront II Mission

OK, I'm kinda confused on where to mention Fett's involvement in the whole Kamino mission mention on the Official Site preview of Battlefront II. It says that it happened "20 years after the clones creation". Now what exactly does that mean? 20 years after the creation of the whole army? (because that would make it 12 BBY) or the creation of the 501st? (which would make it 0 BBY?) As it appears likely that this one will end up being the feature article this week, I kinda think it's important to get the facts straight, not to mention the fact that it'll affect the 501st and Kamino entries.TIEPilot051999 17:54, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Can't remember which book, but..

I distinctivly remember Boba Fett telling Han that hunting him wasn't 'personal' at all, and it is a direct contradiction to this article and how it states quite often Fett has a grudge against Solo. -Arono

  • I remember something to that effect as well. Maybe it was The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force. -- SFH 03:14, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah. It was "The Unifying Force". And I don't see it as a contradiction. After all, how does one get to one of the greatest Jedi Knights ever? Simple. Target his friends.TIEPilot051999 03:16, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
      • If someone could whip up the quote and atleast tag it in somewhere, as I believe it to be an important aspect of the Fett - Solo relationship. -Arono

Just found it in The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force, page 162 of the hardcover:

    "Incoming transmision," Leia said. "From the Firespray."
    Boba Fett's voice crackled through the comm. "Just wanted to remind you, Solo, that my personal fight was always with the Jedi. You were nothing more than cargo."
    Han snorted. "For what it's worth, Fett, you were never more than a nuisance."
    Fett laughed shortly. "To better days, Captain."
    "Count on it."

There has to be a better way to post an excerpt, but I don't know all the fancy box-making codes. —Darth Culator (talk) 04:45, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)

  • Of course, Fett could be making an excuse, since he never caught Solo, as in, "Eh, I never cared anyway, really..." :) QuentinGeorge 05:51, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • He caught Han. How long has it been since you watched ESB? -- SFH 05:53, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, right, sorry. I mean caught him "once and for all". Sorry for the confusion. QuentinGeorge 05:55, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Spirit

If Boba's a clone, that means he's man made, so does he have a sol are not. Double D 21:33, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)

  • In-vitro fertilized babies on Earth are "man-made," too. Do they have souls? jSarek 21:57, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Identical twins are natural clones, so I don't see why Boba Fett would be any different. — Silly Dan 22:16, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Surely the concept of a "soul" does not apply to Star Wars? --Azizlight 23:10, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • The idea of a "soul" is a metaphor. The way someone is created has no relevance to whether they have a so-called soul or not. MarcK 23:13, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Picture

Why is Boba's main pic look like a fan in a costume?

  • Because, in the movie, its really a fan in a costume. --Xilentshadow900 11:20, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • huh?
    • If this refers to the picture currently there I uploaded it here. It is a guy in a costume but that's a damn fine costume! I didn't put the image as his main picture though so you should raise any concerns with the gentleman who did. Also, please use signature tags so we know who is responding. Cheers!--DannyBoy7783 22:35, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Fett's End

What happend to Boba Fett, in the book "Star Wars, The New Essential Guide to Characters", it said Fett had not been seen after the Yuuzhan Vong Invadsion, and nobody knew if he was dead or alive. Double D 01:04, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)

New Main Pic

Haha, you like that new main pic, don't you QuentinGeorge? Did you find that on your own through the site or via my User page? I was surpised to see it end up on his page. Good call though. Looks excellent there!--DannyBoy7783 05:38, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • It looks better than the old ESB capture, that's for sure. QuentinGeorge 05:48, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Jaster's armour?

Quick question: What is the source for the item about Boba finding Mereel's armour and using it? - Angel Blue 451 05:46, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. - Angel Blue 451 05:53, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Mandolorian or Human?

Should we place Boba's species as Mandalorian or leave it as human, i know his father was adopted into the Mandalorian Army but he is effectively a Mandalorian, isn't he!?! Jasca Ducato 19:27, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Pictures

From what a friend of mine told me, there is a picture of Boba Fett right after he emerged from the Sarlacc. Is there really any such picture? Admiral J. Nebulax 14:59, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • More than one. A Marvel story has a dozen of them. --Master Starkeiller 16:52, 1 Jan 20--Xilentshadow900 01:30, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)06 (UTC)
    • Interesting. Could you supply us some? Admiral J. Nebulax 17:29, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • Here's one where he's in the sarlacc: here. This may also be it, but I don't think either are what you're looking for.--Xilentshadow900 17:41, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • In a minute you'll have some from the Marvel story too. --Master Starkeiller 17:49, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • Here:

center|150px|thumb --Master Starkeiller 18:04, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, Xilentshadow's second image was what I was thinking of. Starkeiller, you can barely even see Fett in yours, only his outline. Admiral J. Nebulax 18:46, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, mine shows him just before Xilent's second picture. He was covered in sand and then came out of it. It's a sequence. --Master Starkeiller 19:36, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, no offense, but I think Xilent's second one should go into the article, but smaller. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:40, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
        • Why should I be offended? You asked me to supply you some more and I did. I don't care which one goes into the article as long as it fits and doesn't mess the page up. --Master Starkeiller 19:46, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
          • I agree with Xilentshadow900's second picture. Starkeiller's images don't really provide any additional information or help to visualize the event. They are fairly basic outlines of the character.--DannyBoy7783 19:52, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
          • I don't think any of the ones shown should be put in. In The Mandalorian Armor, it said that much of Boba's armor was burned away from the inside of the sarlacc, and that he was near death. I hardly think he'd be able to kneel, much less hold a blaster.--Xilentshadow900 01:28, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
            • Yeah, I don't think that pic is from an official source either.--Xilentshadow900 01:30, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
              • You're probably right. I'll remove it if it hasn't been already. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:14, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Gear image

A nice detailed run down of Boba's armor circa ROTJ: [1]

  • I think the information there is kick ass but the image isn't necessary. We should just put the text from that image into the gear section for Fett.--DannyBoy7783 07:20, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree. Good information, not-so-good picture. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:50, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • I'll go ahead and put this stuff into the article.--DannyBoy7783 00:06, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
        • Thank you. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:11, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
          • Ok, done. Might want to skim it real quick in case I missed any errors. I added the jetpack image so it would be more clear. Also, in the gauntlet section: "Kelvarex consolidated arms MM9 Mini concussion rocket which utilized computer target tracking. Fett uses Type-12 A anti-personnel rockets, type 12B stun rockets and Merr Soww 1126 rockets." I wasn't sure about that last rocket name. It was hard to read on the image but I think I have it right. Please double check and let me know.--DannyBoy7783 01:04, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
              • Nice job. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:27, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
                • Sorry for all the typos. I should have proofread it better. Someone removed some information on Fett's jetpack but I put it back in. The image was done by the author of The New Essential Guide to Characters so I would say this is a reasonable source and all the information belongs here. Also, do we really need to link to all those rocket tyes? I really don't see us getting more information on then at any point. So it's just one red link after another. Thoughts?--DannyBoy7783 21:02, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
                  • Someone might make an article on them. Anyway, redlink or not, it should be linked. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:03, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  • What will they say besides that Fett uses them? Should we cite the author of the image at the bottom because unless people check this discussion they might question a lot of the technical stuff about his gear.--DannyBoy7783 21:07, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • Someone might get information on them. Anyway, the links can stay. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:09, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • Ok. What about the citation?--DannyBoy7783 21:24, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
        • Well, I really don't know. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:14, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
          • Why don't we just post that picture here? Admiral J. Nebulax 12:46, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
            • Well, I cited the image and linked to it. If you want to upload it here be my guest.--DannyBoy7783 22:24, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
              • Well, we could upload it... But I guess it doesn't matter. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:27, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
