Escape From the Sarlacc

According to the novel "Tales from Jabba's Palace," in the short story "A Barve Like That," Fett blew his way out of the sarlacc with his concussion rifle. But according to this article he was thrown out without any struggle whatsoever. I have also seen pictures of him flying out on his jetpack while shooting his flamethrower at the sarlacc. Clarification?

The story told in this article bothers me, for it renders the quote: "The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible," as literal, while I always found it to be a play on the sarlacc's thwarted attempt at killing him. For whatever reason would the sarlacc find him indigestible? (Literally of course). The sarlacc has indeed swollowed many stormtroopers while finding them deliciously digestible. Again, clarification?

I invite you to join this discussion and help me find what is actually true about Fett's escape from the sarlacc. I see no mention of there being many different stories regarding the incident, while in fact there are many out in the universe today.

Sincerely, The Grand Admiral

  • I have to think that the version stated in Tales from Jabba's Palace: A Barve Like That is correct. There is no other canonical source that I know of that has a contradictory explanation, although I seem to remember reading somewhere (I think it was Tales of the Bounty Hunters: The Last One Standing) that he blew his way out with a thermal detonator. Either way, I agree with you that the quote, "The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible," is not meant to be taken as literal. I have seen the image of him flying out with the flamethrower firing, but that may be fanart or concept art, not necessarily a canonical depiction. Well, that's my interpretation. Any other ideas are welcome. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters)

  • Where does his first escape fit in the timeline of things? The BHW trilogy is supposed to take place during ROTJ; and Han and Leia were accounted for during that. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 22:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
    • His "first" escape is in the Marvel Star Wars comics. The "Jawa's of Doom" issue. I know the whole Sandcrawler thing falling into the Sarlaac sounds kind of [retracted by administration], and the "Tales of..." and "Bounty Hunter Wars" series of books version of his escape are better. But, we still include it in the article, since other Marvel Star Wars comics info are included in other articles on the Wiki. I haven't read the Marvel comics series, since it's kind of hard to find copies of these days, but the comic says it takes place after the Battle of Endor. I know they have "tie-in" issues of the first two movies, made into the regular comic series, but the Return of the Jedi movie tie-in was a separate mini-series. We know that in issue 68, Leia is still searching for Han. That's the issue with Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala, but Han is free by issue 81, which is the Jawas of Doom story. The Marvel Star Wars Return of the Jedi 1: In the Hands of Jabba the Hutt has a publication date of October 1983, and the Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom has one of March 1984. So, this was done after the movie had come out. It's just one of those conundrums that have no real answer as to when it occured, because of different writer's interpretations of the events. I personally, think the novels are more canon than the comics, but only the Marvel series. The Marvel series of comics I kind of take with a tongue-in-cheek/ grain-of-salt attitude, because of the time period and the way they were written. However, the Dark Horse series of comics are a lot more researched and the writers are more careful that their stories stick more with regular Star Wars continuity, so that they can be included as such. Now that all six of the movies are out, it'll be a lot easier for novel and comic book writers to keep within those continuity limitations. They did do a fairly good job of tying up a lot of continuity blunders with The History of the Mandalorians article in the Star Wars Insider. Anyway, we still include both escapes in the Boba Fett article, though, and consider this as his "first" escape, because he ends up back in the Sarlaac and in the novels he ends up staying out of the Sarlaac permantly. I hope this helps out some, dude. Take care. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 02:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm. Well, thanks. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 23:56, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  • By placing issue #81 after Fett's escape in the Tales books, this article implies that Fett escapes the Sarlacc three times (!), which is unnecessary (and a little ridiculous). Issue #81 is Fett's first escape; he ends up back in the Sarlacc at the end of it, at which point it makes sense that Bantam's Tales story picks up the account. He of course escapes again and is found by Dengar. Further evidence for this order of events is the fact that in Tales from Jabba's Palace ("The Tale of Boba Fett") on the ninth page (halfway down), the Sarlacc says to Fett, "But you're not going to get out again" (italics my own) an acknowledgment of sorts that Fett got out once before. (Otherwise, the Sarlacc could have just said, 'You're never getting out' or 'You're not going to get out')72.89.190.80 05:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Objection: I haven't read the story, but it could just mean "you won't get out again now that you're in". There's a rhyme that says "The grand old Duke of York, he had ten thousand men. He marched them up to the top of the hill. He marched them down again." - that's a similar usage of "again". --Andrew Nagy 16:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree with the Tales From Jabba's Palace version. One reason: believability. The sarlacc has digested a lot worse than a man in armor-even if it is Mando armor. :)Prudii

  • Andrew: I agree it could very well mean what you're saying. The point, however, is that unless there are THREE escapes from the Sarlacc (and the final one being after Fett blew it up), we have to assume that Fett first escapes from the Sarlacc in issue #81: Jawas of Doom. Thus, the line ("you won't escape again") in Tales from Jabba's Palace has additional resonance and nicely appears to indicate Fett's first escape (even if that's not what the author intended).

Why is this page now called Big Uncle Boba?

WHY????? There is no point to do it, it can confuse people and it is not his proper name. WHY????? —Unsigned comment by Darkwarlock999 (talk • contribs)

  • He's Boba. He's Big. He's an uncle. That's it! QuentinGeorge 10:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Sorry, my mistake. I'll move him to the correct title as soon as I finish typing this message. jSarek 11:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Blaster info in weapons section

I went ahead an deleted the incorrect info about the blaster being Jango's other blaster. If you watch Ep. II, Jango loses his first one when he's fighting Obi-Wan on Kamino. That's why he only uses one blaster the whole time on Geonosis. Watch when he kills Coleman Trebor; only one blaster in his holsters. The second one is destroyed when Mace Windu decapitates him. Also, Boba's blaster is obviously not the same blaster. You can see that just by looking at them. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 02:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • In the weapons section there is a paragraph A corded fuel line connects to a backpack canister holding fuel for three minutes of operation. Fett's left gauntlet also had a Kelvarex Consolidated Arms MM9 mini concussion rocket, which utilized computer target tracking. Fett used Type-12A anti-personnel rockets, Type-12B stun rockets, and Merr Sonn 1126 rockets. What is the first sentence referring to? Holding fuel for three minutes of operation. Fuel for what, what operates for 3 minutes?198.151.13.10 15:57, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Boba Fett in Episode III

This tidbit was mentioned twice, about his almost involvement in Mace's death. Can someone fix this? I don't know which to erase.

The Pure 501st

  • Took care of it. I deleted the portion that had the least specific information in it. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 07:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

toys as canon?

I just asked this on page 3 of the archive but I didn't know if anyone would notice it there. When did toys become canon? I originally brought this issue up some time ago but no one had any answers beyond it not officially being canon at that time. On page 3 of the archive someone says that toys are now canon and in the BTS section of the article it says that the titanium Fett figure by Hasbro is now canon. When did this change and become official canon? The canon talk page doesn't have any responders to my initial question saying the policy changed. --DannyBoy7783 15:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Appearances

I was looking at the List of Boba Fett appearances article today and noticed it is slated to be merged with this article and then deleted. I was wondering if anyone had plans on doing this? It says it needs to be scroll boxed into one title under Appearances, but I still think it should be sub-divided under movies, books, television, short stories, etc. Anyone else have any input on the matter? — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 22:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I copied and pasted all the appearances and saved it to a Word Document. The only difference is I added a section for the movie appearances. Other than that, it'll pretty much show up the same on this article, but in a scroll box. I did a preview of what the scroll box would look like and it looks fine. I don't really know of a way to put it on here for everyone to preview without saving the entire thing to the article. If no one has any objections, I'll add it on the article so you can take a look at it, to see if everyone is fine with it. Then we can put the other one in for deletion, like it says. Thanks. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 22:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Also, I really think it looks better separated by movies, tv, books, games, etc, instead of putting it in chronological order, like it was saying. If it's a big deal, then we can at least merge it with this article for now, and then organize chronologically later, since that'll take a while. Thoughts? — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 22:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
      • No feedback? Well, since no one seems to mind, I'll go ahead and update the Appearances section late tonight. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 18:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Age of Daniel Logan?

This page lists Daniel Logan's age as 10 when he played Boba in Episode II. Is this right? If he was born in '87 (as stated on the actor's own article page), wouldn't he be older than that during filming of his scenes for Attack of the Clones? - Kev-La Ttolya 01:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Personality

I just read the SotE comics and it seems like the aspects of his personality revealed there ought to be reflected in the article. Fett stands around frequently having long discourses with Solo's frozen body, which says the guy has got something wrong with him. However, I don't know how this would be properly interpreted, but it reads almost like a Norman Bates and his mother type thing to me. Plus, this has added significance in light of Robot Chicken doing a spoof of Fett's conversations with carbon Solo, which I believe was the only EU material the Star Wars special drew from. Thoughts?

  • Could you provide some quotes from the SotE comic? —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 20:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
    • A scan of the image would be helpful as well! -- Awar 21:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC).
      • “I might have known they’d try to move on you, Solo. They know we’re here now, but where are they?”, “What to do with you? Tatooine, yes… get to Tatooine, claim Jabba’s reward and be rid of you. Yet they’ll be watching for us […] Not that you care, eh, Solo?”, “There is still one thorn in my flesh, I have come to hate the sight of you, Solo!”, “This is it, Solo- Do or Die! Not for you I suppose. Like a pestilence, you’d survive anything.” thumb|650px

And you can see the Robot Chicken segment here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPSmDLfX_Q 9'er 07:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't agree with the whole "he's nuts" way this is going. He's just irritated with Solo, I mean, we all have a go at something that's been annoying us, don't we. E.G. When the computer doesn't work, you might smack it and shout "work!" at it. This is exactly what Fett is doing. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 17:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm not insisting that he's crazy, but perhaps at the least, he temporarily developed an obsession or habit pushing the bounds of what is generally considered "healthy". That comic strongly suggests that Fett spends most of his downtime talking to the body, in one part, chooses to talk to Solo before his living captive Zuckiss. Only reason I bring it up is because his 'personality' section doesn't have much to say outside of Fett's professional demeanor, and this may be one of the few tidbits revealing his underlying character during the OT period.9'er 09:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Non-canon

For a time I've been irritated by the "non-canon" image description in the Physical appearance section. Since the articles are supposed to be IU, that really needs to be changed. But there is one other question we should address at the same time: do we really want that image? I know, there aren't any fully canon images of the unmasked adult Boba, but isn't it better to use the Titanium series action figure (which is at least ambiguous canon) than the very much non-canon Infinites picture? Charlii 14:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Villain or Hero?

In this article Boba Fett is said that he never joined up with any side of the two wars but in Star Wars Battlefront II Boba Fett is used as a Villain Charecter under Assualt on Mos Eisley. I beleive the first ideaa about him being an independent person judging by his attitude towards others. Anyone else have an opinion?-Sev13 July 10 2007

  • Boba is only a villian on this level because you play as Han Solo, with whom Fett was an enemy of; on a personal level. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 19:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks for clearing that up for me. Sev

Protectors book

I am looking for books with any information on Fett's rise in the Perotectors because I feel that section is light. Does anyone know which book has the information? —Unsigned comment by Smb2a (talk • contribs)

Chronological order of events

Oy. The chronological order of events from about 16 BBY on is a mess. Fett's mission to Ota takes place after the battle of Yavin, and the non-canon story Prey would take place before Yavin, for example. Geez. I don't have time to fix it now; I'll check back when I do. TalonCard 08:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Alright, it's mostly fixed. Note that the events of Jawas of Doom actually take place after the conclusion of Hard Merchandise. This is because Merchandise ends at around the same time as the Battle of Endor, while Jawas of Doom takes place right after Endor. TalonCard 07:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Hard Merchandise ends some time after the Battle of Endor. Fett is only just receiving reports from what happened above Endor, and by the end of the book he's threatening to turn Kuat of Kuat over to Palpatine which demonstrates that neither of them have any idea what's gone on. News would take considerable time to reach anyone with the Holonet down, especially in the Outer Rim. No, Jawas of Doom has to take place prior to Fett's 2nd escape from the Sarlacc as detailed in The Bounty Hunter Wars and Tales from Jabba's Palace (otherwise then you've got Fett escapting 3 times from the Sarlacc which is ridiculous, besides which Fett destroyed the Sarlacc after he escaped it the 2nd time.)72.89.190.80 06:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

source

I added the behind the scenes thing about george lucas wishing to add boba crawling out (from the return of the Jedi commentary), and the "further evidence" i pulled right here from the star wars deleted scenes pages, so if someone could do that for me, i'd be greatful. I'm too [Redacted by administration] to figure out how to source these things. PitchBrick 22:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Fett "unmasked" picture

I went ahead and deleted the "Fett Unmasked" picture from the article, since it's not a canon image of what he looks like unmasked. Aside from the action figure released last year, there really is no "canon" image or picture of Boba Fett in armor without his helmet. This image is from a Topps Star Wars Galaxy Set card #213, with art by Daniel Brereton, which was released back in the 90's. This was only an artists interpretation of Fett without a mask. On this Topps card Fett is unmasked and appears to be an alien with white hair, cranial ridges, and pointed ears. This was also before Episode II came out, and it was definite, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Boba was a male human. That he was a clone of Jango lays to rest what he looks like under the helmet. So this picture should not be part of the article as to what Boba Fett looks like unmasked, because it's obviously not so. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 13:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Am I the only one who thinks the non-canon "unmasked" image of Boba Fett in the Physical Characteristics section of the article doesn't belong there, in the main part of the article? I know it doesn't say anywhere that it isn't canon, but I believe the fact that Boba Fett is not an alien, but human, automatically renders that image as non-canon. I put where the image was from in my comment above. This sketch card was done before Episode II ever came out (the copyright on the card is 1994), so any "unmasked" image of Fett was going to be left up to the artist at that time period. Since Episode II is definitely a canon source, and Boba is definitely a human being, not an alien, then I think this automatically makes this unmasked image not canon. If we start adding images from collector card sets into articles and start passing them off as canon, then we leave it open to where we have to start adding other cards from the sets, as well. All of the artwork on the cards are really nice, however, some of them are definitely just an artists' take on the subject. Each card in Topps Star Wars Galaxy: Series Two has a little bit about the artist on the back. This is taken from the back of card 213 of the series (where this picture comes from): "Says Daniel Brereton: 'As a kid, I secretly imagined what kind of guy was Fett...his previous adventures, who he was, and, of course, what was underneath that cool helmet!'" This, to me, confirms it was just the artists vision of what Fett looked like under the helmet, and not actually canon. I do think it's a cool image. If anyone's ever read Thrillkiller: Batgirl and Robin, by DC Comics, they'll recognize his artwork. Great stuff and a really nice guy to talk to. I just think it would look better if we moved the pic down to the behind the scenes section, maybe, so it could go with the other non-canon image of Boba, from the Infinities series. This would preserve the integrity of the article and we could still use the image. I'm all for adding as much info into the article as we can, to enhance it's quality. We just need to add the info where it would be most appropriate. Would everyone be okay with that? — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 16:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
    • I gotta disagree with you here. Nowhere does it say that this picture is non-canon, nor does (to me at least) it make it appear that Fett is definitively not Human. All the Topps cards are technically canon. There's no indication that artist interpretation is not canon. Artist's interpretation is taken as canon all the time. Since Fett is not necessarily an alien in that picture (the prominent nose means nothing, and as said on the talk page, the pointed ear could be a battle wound), I gotta say that I think that picture should be put back where it was. Just because you don't like the image doesn't mean that it's not canon, and unless we get indication elsewhere, we can just take this image as a badly scarred, older Fett, and chalk any discrepancies up to artistic style. Cull Tremayne 20:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
      • I like the picture fine, I just don't think it should go in the main part of the article. If you click on the image and then click on the higher resolution, you can definitely see he's not human, though. That's kind of really obvious. [1] Here you can see the point of the ear on the other side. He has forehead ridges, pupiless eyes, and he has fanged teeth. It don't get more alien than that. He almost looks like a cross between a Klingon and Vulcan with white hair. Unless the pointed ears are from getting his head caught in a rice picker.  ;-) — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 23:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I've seen the artwork, and I still stand by what I said. He doesn't look "distinctly alien" to me. Does he look like a normal human? No. But you have to admit that he looks humanoid, albeit slightly deformed. I'm not seeing the forehead ridges, and having no pupils in a drawing is no indication of anything. Both "features" can be chalked up to artistic interpretation easily. Comic book writers draw humans without pupils all the time. The guy was trapped in a sarlacc and almost burned to death, I think that can account for any deformities that we're seeing here. In any case, there is no evidence to call this picture non-canon, as we don't have any other pictures of him without his helmet post-RotJ to compare to. Cull Tremayne 20:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
    • You mean to tell me you can't see the big forehead ridge going from the top of his nose all the way to the top of his forehead, as well as the ridging along his eyebrows? Fett also doesn't have fangs. As for no other pics without his helmet, we already have the infinities picture on here, as well as the action figure. That looks more canon than the alien picture, but the infinities doesn't count as canon. And how do we know this picture is post-ROTJ? I know it doesn't say so on the back of the card. In the Bounty Hunter Wars and Tales of.. books, his face wasn't scarred so much as much his body was, because he had his helmet on while in the Sarlacc. If you recall, it started feeding on his leg first (which is why he had to have it replaced later on), because the acid couldn't burn through the armor yet, just on all the cloth around it. They even make reference in the new Legacy of the Force books that you could barely see any Sarlacc scarring on his face. As for the Sarlacc acid deforming his face that much, I'm not buying that, because acid will not scar your facial features symmetrically like that. Your skin looks more like it's melted on your face, when you're burned. And he wouldn't have any hair on his head if the skin had been burned by Sarlacc digestive acid. If the acid had gotten that far up, he'd more than likely be blind as well, since it was chemical burning and not flame burning for that long of a period. As I recall, pictures that are as ambiguous as this are usually put to a vote before they are permanently put on the article, such as the ruckus we had to deal with for the main picture a while back. I say we put it to a vote, until someone can come up with some solid proof of the artists interpretation of whether Fett is alien in this picture. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 18:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Ridging along his eyebrows? No, I can't see that. By ridges, I thought you were referring to some type of Neanderthal ridge, not the odd blockish quality to his nose that extends up to his hairline. However, like I said, that doesn't make him alien, just badly deformed. I don't see any fangs, none that would be determinedly alien anyhow. For how we know this picture is post-RotJ, well, I mean he obviously wasn't this deformed as a child... It's just a presumption, but a valid one that is just as good as your assumption that he's definitively an alien in this pic. Brereton's original intention really means nothing now, since we know that Fett is human, so this image must be either A. A flawed author's interpretation of what Fett looks like, or B. A really deformed Fett in his later years (he has white hair anyway). Good recollections about the Sarlacc scarring, but I recall that in Twin Engines of Destruction, the only image we got of his face looked badly scarred, even if it was covered by bandages. Nothing says that his face wasn't burned. You also say that "your skin looks more like it's melted on your face, when you're burned". This is a drawing, it's not going to show a melted face perfectly, but if he is human, then his face has (only his nose and ears IMO) have been badly mutilated. He wouldn't have "healthy" hair on his head, and you can hardly call that white straggly hair normal looking. The fact is, that this is all just speculation about how badly he was burned. I have no idea how and in what places he received the worst burning, only that burns from the Sarlacc could easily account for his somewhat deformed features in this picture. You're right that the Sarlacc scarring was said to be minor on his face in LotF, but what's to say that he didn't go get plastic surgery or something after this picture was taken? The possibilities are endless here to explain why he doesn't look perfectly normal without saying, "He's an alien in this pic, so it's non-canon". The fact is that (1) It was published and approved (2) Nothing says it's non-canon (3) No other post-RotJ pic of him without a helmet to compare to to call this appearance into question. We can put this to a vote, but those facts will still remain. Regardless of anyone's feelings on the matter or how Fett is portrayed in this picture, as a source of information, we should not relegate this picture to non-canon status without explicit proof, which I'm afraid we don't have. Also, I'd like to say that artist's interpretation really doesn't come into play here. Regardless of whether Brereton meant Fett to be an alien in that picture, the fact is that he isn't. Unless it's mentioned on the card itself that "This is a depiction of Fett as an alien bounty hunter", there's no proof that he's alien in this picture except subjective interpretation. So the picture can only represent a human Fett, no matter how deformed looking he may be. Cull Tremayne 21:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Indeed. Unless you can provide proof that it's non-canon (more than "he looks kinda alien"), then the fact remains: this is what unmasked Fett looks like. And the problem with the main picture was that it was a fan photograph. This is an official, approved, and, yes, canon image. Not the same thing at all. And since there is no other image of Fett unmasked that is all three of those things, then there is no reason to remove it, and in fact, we'd be blanking the article of canon information. - Lord Hydronium 21:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
          • Nothing you've said though, proves that this image is post ROTJ, either. I can tell this is just going to be one of those agree to disagree things, until I get confirmation from the artist himself. I'm surprised no one else has chimed in on this, since there's usually a lot who contribute to this particular article, but I notice the only ones who have are all admins on the site. I say we put it to a vote, then. Otherwise, it will just again send the impression many have of this site, that "He who controls the Spice controls the universe." Something I've been trying to convince my peers the opposite of on other Star Wars boards, since I had started contributing on the site. There's too much effort and good info on this site for it to be brushed aside. Another quick question, though. Since we had brought up the main picture, aren't we supposed to have an unmasked picture of a person on their article if one is available? Why don't we make this picture the main picture for the article, then? I believe that was brought up on the Jango Fett and several other articles before. Just curious. — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 23:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
            • Put what to a vote? Whether it's canon? That's not in question, and there's been no proof to the contrary. That we should include as much canon info as we can? We'd be remiss as an encyclopedia if we didn't. I don't see what there is to vote on. As for it being the main image, that's a very good idea. - Lord Hydronium 23:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
              • My only problem with having it as the main image is that it's a drawing, and we generally go with live-action images. The only "proof" I can offer is that he has white hair. We know he started out with black hair, so he's obviously older as of this drawing. But you're right, it's still just subject to interpretation I suppose. I'd still say that it's "likely" this is post-RotJ, as the deformed face wouldn't have an explanation pre-RotJ. Cull Tremayne 00:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
                • Am I correct in saying that all the Star Wars Galaxy cards, or any for that matter, are canon, simply because they're approved products by LucasFilm? That is the reason we're saying this is a canon image, correct? As for making it the main image for the article, I say lets go for it. In for a penny, in for pound, right? — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 02:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
                  • Correct. Why would that not be the case? I'd be all for switching it, except it's precedent for live-action over drawings. Cull Tremayne 02:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Get that picture of there its not what Boba Fett looks likebull36
    • I agree with you, Bull36. As you can see I've made the argument on this point before, but a couple of the admins insist on keeping it on here as canon, since they said all the cards from the series are considered canon. If that was the case, then I don't see why we don't put the card of the Ewok in the Yoda ears baseball cap or the one with Yoda dressed as Santa Claus in their respective article pages and call it canon? That's why I think it's artist interpretation. Some of the cards were just done as art for the series or for tongue in cheek. Even the artist, Dan Brereton, stated on his message board page that it was "his" interpretation of what he thought Fett looked like, before Episode II came out. I know it's not canon, so I just don't even bother with it anymore since the rest of the article is fairly well done. It ain't worth the hassle, dude. — Sadriel Fett 45px 02:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Uh, the stock market?

Quick Question

I was reading through your article, and I must say it is a pretty in-depth look into Boba Fett. The only question I have is how did Boba end up in the Sarlaac twice? I always thought he was in there once and that was it, but I wasn't aware of the second time. What happened there? I'm not questioning the validity, just curious. --MercZ 20:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  • We have Marvel comics to thank for that.Tocneppil 20:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Sarlacc Timeline

Shouldn't this part be reversed? I thought that it had been established (if the Marvel Star Wars were accepted as canon, that is) that Fett first fell into the Sarlacc and was rescued by the Jawas, then fell into the Sarlacc a second time AND it was this time that he escaped on his own and was found by Dengar. The article has it the other way round, however. Could we get this straightened out?Tocneppil 19:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I know that would make more sense, and that's the way it was originally on here, but I think it had been altered because of the disambigous continuity created by the Marvel Star Wars story. I believe it was explained this way: In the Tales of the Bounty Hunters and The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy, the events take place during the "same time frame" that the rebels are attacking and destroying the second Death Star. However, in Marvel Comics continuity, the events in that issue take place "after" the destruction of the second Death Star. So, it's kind of a Catch-22 with continuity on this matter, that had never been "retro-fixed" with alot of the other Boba Fett mythos. It's just that chronologically, one clearly takes place after the other, even though it'd make more sense for it to happen the other way around. At least, that's the gist I got from the explanation. Can anyone else verify that for me? — Sadriel Fett 45px (Mando'a) (Bounties) 08:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • According to Fett's short story in several WEG sourcebooks, he destroyed the Sarlacc some time after he recovered. He can't have gone back into it (which would be ridiculous anyway as it would mean he went into and escaped from it 3 times!) No, Hard Merchandise takes place some time after the Battle of Endor; at the end of the book they're receiving some news of the Battle of Endor, which would have taken quite some time to reach them with the Holonet down. Jawas of Doom is clearly Fett's first escape from the Sarlacc.
    • I agree, especially with Jawas set a day or two after the events in RotJ. Fett is also amnesiac/catatonic throughout most of that story, only coming to his senses upon hearing Solo's name just as the Jawa crawler falls into the sarlacc pit. The timeline could then segue right into the events in Tales/Hard Merchandise (which I believe are the same escape attempt, told from two perspectives).Tocneppil 00:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

expansion to article 20th march 2008

sorry about the lack of information i gave in the new articles on Boba Fett, titled 'Sintas', and ' Training under Boba Fett', it's just that its my first edit and i didnt know how to actually do it. I've already gotten some questions from users such as Trak Nar so could anyone please correct it. It's from the new book 'Revelations'. TY Unsigned comment by Jripper5

  • I fixed the reference coding, though I'm gonna hafta go look for how to make a quote. WikiCode (hell, any type of code) is my Kryptonite. Trak Nar 07:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Fixed the quote template. That's all I'm touching for this as I'm not a Fett fan and haven't read Revelation. Trak Nar 08:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

What does Boba Fett look like?

I'm just wondering, why does Boba Fett never take his helmet off? Well never know what he looks like if he doesn't.

Ok, it's been a min, and no one has answered my question. Ok, now it's been 2 mins. Ok, now three mins have past. If no one answers, I'll wipe out both pages.

  • Get over yourself. This isn't a chatroom. Sometimes questions go days or even weeks without answers, let alone minutes. That said, Boba Fett considered his helmet to be his public face, which is why he always wore it in public. He generally resembled his father Jango, though after his encounter with the Sarlacc he was severely scarred. jSarek 12:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Incongruities

If Boba Fett was skilled enough to fight Mace Windu (one of the best lightsabers duelists ever) to a draw at age 13, why did he lose badly to Grievous just a few months before? Especially considering Grievous lost to Windu just a few months later. Luckyluke37 05:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Could it possibly be that he learned from his failure against Grievous? That said loss taught him how to fight better against Jedi? Darth Bassan94 14:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
    • My understanding, upon reading the book, was that Windu wasn't exactly sure who he was. Because Boba was just a kid, Windu was using restraint, especially seeing as they were in the Chancellor's building. — Sadriel Fett 45px 19:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
      • I don't know, Grievous wasn't a Jedi and even if he was, that's a pretty big improvement in a few weeks. Furthermore, Windu wasn't the most merciful Jedi, when he killed jango, his jetpack was disabled and he was disarmed, plus I don't think he would hold back once he realized Boba was good enough to kill him, but I don't know, I suppose you could be right. 68.223.73.215 21:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Even if the dear old General wasn't a Jedi, he fought like one. And as for fast improvement, the Boba is probably an excellent learner. Darth Bassan94 00:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
          • What I think happened is this. Fett had already been through a lot when he fought Grievous that first time. Also, Boba is kind of shocked, becuase he does't know that droids weild lightsabers. So, while he is fighting-and veru tired-he is confused. I think all of this put together makes his defeat by Greivous possible. Now, as for the fight with Windu. He was driven by a rage so great, that I don't think much could have stopped him. I mean c'mon, his father has been killed by this man standing in this room, and he is also prepared, he has been gearing up for this fight ever since his fathers death. Hope this helps.

Boba and Jango Fett's Armor Suits.

Are Boba Fett and Jango Fett's armor suits the same ones?

All I know is that Boba must have made some serious modification-(i.g. the boot spikes, extra pouches, no leg armor etc.)

Can someone please clarify this for me? Thanks. Prudii 23:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Prudii

  • In the Young Boba Fett books it says that Jango's armor is resized so he can wear it (the cloth parts, not the armor parts). Later in the series, he repaints it into the familiar paint scheme he now wears. However, in the Star Wars Tales comic books series, there's a story where Boba is having his armor maintained and some bounty hunter wanna-be's find out where the guy lives who helps him upkeep his armor. Fett kills several of them, without armor (bringing truth to the Mandalorian phrase that a warrior is more than his armor), but one of the guys escapes with his armor. The weaponsmith tells Boba that all that is left there is the "other" set of armor. Boba tracks the other guy down, who's in a bar bragging about taking the armor and such, and Boba shows up in Jango's armor, which is in it's original color and takes his armor back. From that, one can surmise that at some point he had his father's armor restored to it's original condition. It's believed his current set of armor he wears once belonged to Jaster Mereel, since it has insignias he used on the armor's chest plate. However, Boba is known to have at least several sets of armor (his father's version, Empire version, Jedi version, etc..--even the Holiday Special/ Droids or animated version is considered a separate set of armor or just a repaint of his current gear). He also took armor pieces from Jodo Kast before blowing him up. And now, with the new Legacy books, one of the Mandalorians made him a set made from actual Mandalorian Iron (something we should probably put in the article somewhere). The new set of armor even has a neck gorget so he doesn't meet the same end as his father, since Mandalorian iron can stop lightsaber blades. This comes into play in the next Legacy book, since they had a snippet of it at the end of the Revelations book. Hopes this helps, dude. — Sadriel Fett 45px 05:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Prudii

  • A few quick questions. You said Mandalorian iron can stop lightsaber blades, but in the Young Biba Fett serres, when he fights Mace Windu, the armor splits. Does this mean that his helmet during that time was not made of Mandalorian iron? And one more thing, when he fights Grevious in the Young Boba Fett series his armor also snaps,plus the lightsaber blades injure him, is his armor made of Mando iron then? And also, not to question your logic, but in the NEW Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology, it says nowhere in the technical readout box for mando iron that it can block lightsaber blades. I don't want to start a fight, but I'm just wondering, where did you find out that Mando Iron can block lightsaber blades?Kom'rk 20px 13:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
    • It's in a few of the books by Karen Traviss, but I think she had referenced it from somewhere else. As for Fett's armor, his is not actual Mandalorian Iron until he has a new set made for him in the Legacy of the Force books. The new one even has a neck gorget, so he can't get his head lopped off like his dad. I'm not sure if it ever says that Jango's armor was actual Mandalorian Iron or not, since that's what he's wearing in the Young Boba Fett series of books (the cloth parts resized to fit him). It's been a while since I read them. Does it say where he was injured at? Maybe someplace the armor isn't covering him or something? I want to say Boba's armor, until the Legacy books, was made of Duraplast or Durasteel or something of the like. I believe it's in the Mandalorian Armor article, though. — Sadriel Fett 45px 04:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Thanks for that info. And yes, it does say where he was injured, the chest plate, becuase in the part while Anakin Skywalker is fixing his ship the author talks about how he was fixing up the chest plate. Kom'rk 20px 00:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Can you change this "Medrit also added a gorget to the ensemble and complained to Fett that if it were up to him he'd also properly wear greaves to protect his legs. He explained to Fett that this way he wouldn't have to worry about being killed in the same manner as Jango had." It makes it sound like adding the greaves will prevent Boba from dying like Jango.DracosTheBlack 13:50, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
          • Actually, greaves wouldn't protect him from dying like Jango, because greaves are the armor pieces that go on your legs. Medrit simply stated that he would prefer he wear some greaves, because that's usually standard on Mandalorian armor. Boba doesn't wear the upper thigh and lower shin armor pieces. However, the gorget that Medrit made for him goes around his neck. That's intended to keep him from dying like Jango (that was a quote from one of the new books, also), which it actually does keep him from getting his head lopped off. After Jaina Solo finishes with a lightsaber battle Fett comes up behind her to get her attention, and being startled, she automatically swings her blade around and catches him in the gorget. Since it's made from Mandalorian iron it keeps the blade from cutting through. So, it's purpose was served. Hope this helps. — Sadriel Fett 45px 20:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
            • I know what is trying to be said but the way it is said is wrong. It should be something like 'Medrit also added a gorget to the ensemble explaining to Fett that this way he wouldn't have to worry about being killed in the same manner as Jango had. Also he complained to Fett that if it were up to him he'd also properly wear greaves to protect his legs.' That would be a more correct way to say it. The way it is now the sentence that follows is refereeing to the greaves and since greaves dont protect your neck it should be changed. Its just a confusing couple of sentences. DracosTheBlack 21:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
              • Good point. I can change the way it is worded if you want to, but just to be sure there aren't any objections I'll wait a day before chaning it. Kom'rk Vhett 20px 19:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Panna weaponry

Do we know what the pitch-fork-looking-weapon is that Fett carried on Panna?

  • A pitchfork, maybe. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 13:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
    • It's already listed in the "Equipment and Gear" section of the article, along with a link to the weapon. It's about halfway down in that section under the Armor/Clothing subsection, although it probably should be moved to the Weaponry subsection. It's an Amban phase-pulse blaster and his pistol at that time was a Sacros K-11 pistol, known as "The Disintegrator." — Sadriel Fett 45px 16:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Boba Shoulder Bell emblems

Finally found a pic I've been looking for, for some time now. I thought it'd look really good for the Behind the Scenes section. A lot of the costumers get some really good scans and pics to make their own Fett costumes, and the Boba Maker website got some to make armor decals with. It has the Proto-type armor skull version (looks like a bird skull), Empire, and Jedi version of the Mandalorian Skull insignias. He has them listed under his decals he has for sale, but if someone was really good with photoshop or something, it would look really good in the article if we had all three of the skull versions listed on here. Let me know what you think. Also, if anyone could crop the skulls out and make them look pretty decent that would be really great. The pic is below. — Sadriel Fett 45px 16:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

        • Can't remember the actual site off the top of my head. They finally came in last month, and they look pretty sharp. I'll scan them once I get my computer room put back together this coming weekend. Had to have my ceiling repaired, so everything but the laptop is still wrapped up in plastic. I'll look through my bookmarks and put the link on here, but the guy that sells them and researched the actual images did it for the 501st costuming guys, so they're very crisp images. I think it'll look really good on the article, in the behind the scenes or something. — Sadriel Fett 45px 06:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Rewording "Hunts" Section

The part I'm specifically looking at is the "Tsumo (0 ABY)" where I found some changes in tense. In addition to that, the paragraph just reads awkwardly.

Tense issue: "Unable to shake the parasites off, they quickly bit their way through Tsumo's skin, painfully killing him. Because of Fetts mandalorian armor, the fleshborers, don't make it through yet. The fleshborers have eaten through the airlock and have boarded Slave 1. Boba torches the fleshborers but the flames are heating the power cells."

It might be worth looking at the other parts of the Hunts section just in case.

Note: I added the italics to emphasize the problem.

Gspicer 18:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Took care of it, the section now reads as follows: "the fleshborers can't make it through. The fleshborers having eaten through the airlock have boarded Slave I.

5.3 Factual correction: Fett's Homeworld.

For any of the editors who focus on the Boba Fett article, I'd like to suggest a change of Boba Fett's homeworld to Mandalore.

Fett's homeworld, by the definition of the Homeworld article, is either Kamino or Mandalore. He was born on Kamino, but later takes Mandalore to be his homeworld. Looking at a pair of similiar cases(the Skywalker twins), Homeworld is not solely defined by place of birth. Seeing as Fett eventually became Mandalore, shouldn't his Homeworld be changed to the place he migrated to? EchoZinnia 22:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the homeworld should be the one he lived on for the most considerable amount of time , so most likely mandalore. I'd also like to point out , Jango is classed as Human , while Boba is classed as Mandalorian. Shouldn't Jango be mandalorian as he was raised by them , or shouldn't Boba be human as he's a clone of a human? - vexed123 20.34pm [GMT] 12th June 2008

Good points. Personally, I agree that Boba Fett's Homeworld should be classified as Mandalore. The fact that he eventually became Mandalor and eventually called Mandalor his Homeworld is a good enough reason to change the Homeworld. However, I think it should also be mentioned that he was born on Kamino. Kom'rk Vhett 15:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I personally think that it should stay as Kamino, because that is where he grew up as a child, but that's just my opinion. Jaina Leia MaraJedi Knight

He was cloned on Kamino, lived on Kamino, grew up on Kamino, so his homeworld should stay as Kamino. Ifindyourlackoffaithdisturbing (Go Dodgers! Woooo!)20px 17:32, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

  • I think it should be changed to Mandalore becuase in Mando culture your homeworld is where you live. Kom'rk Vhett 16:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I suggest changing it to Birthplace: Kamino, Last Known Planet of Residence: Mandalore.
    • An easier way would be to put "31.5 BBY, Kamino" in the "born" field of the infobox, and "Mandalore" in the "homeworld" field. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 11:02, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Good idea, I'm all for it. Unless anyone objects I will change the infobox tomorrow sometime. Kom'rk Vhett 14:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, since no one had any objections, I went ahead and changed it so that it said he was BORN on Kamino and that his HOMEWORLD was Mandalore. Kom'rk Vhett 15:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Panna Armor

Name

When did "Boba" become his first name and "Fett" become his surname? It always used to be simply "Boba Fett," didn't it? Is it just an irritating prequel retcon? Is that noteworthy in the article?—Starfield 19:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

no. it was always Boba(first name) and Fett(surname) - Anon

Always? I don't ever remember Boba or Fett being used separately. Always "Boba Fett." Besides--"Boba Fett" sounds cool. "Boba" sounds like a circus clown. Boba Fett?! Boba Fett?! Where? Han Solo. Starfield 17:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

―Susejo[src]
"Apart from his pay, which is considerable, Fett demanded only one thing: an unaltered clone for himself. Curious, isn't it?"
"Unaltered?"
"Pure genetic replication. No tampering with the structure to make it more docile, no behavior modification and no growth acceleration."
