What's being discussed is as follows: the actual Boba Fett, clone of Jango, is killed by a mysterious stranger, who then takes the title for himself. This would restore the mystery surrounding the character that I personally feel was lost upon his backstory being revealed in AoTC. So, make the character we're supposed to like or care about being some random ass that kills the clone "son" of the most infamous Bounty Hunter in the galaxy, and then goes around parading to be him? How is that not supposed to make me want to see this guy paraded around by his entrails?
Wasn't my idea, I just stated the idea, then proceeded to state my thoughts. I don't know, I personally don't like his prequel backstory. I feel that it takes away his uniqueness. Whilst I like the clone troopers, I feel that the "clone son" backstory didn't do much good for the character.
How did it to any harm then? He's still the son of the biggest BA Bounty Hunter in the galaxy, and follows in his father's footsteps while still choosing his own path.
But ignore that he's the clone of his dad. He grows up being trained by his father to be a Bounty Hunter like him, but when he's still young he's forced to watch his dad decapitated before his very eyes and from that point on has to fend for himself his entire life. What's wrong to that story?
I don't have a problem with that backstory, but the mystery behind the character, one of his defining characteristics before the prequels, was completely lost. Even if they pursued the "Badass is son of badass" background, they could've been more subtle than they were. Make Boba Jango's actual son, and don't show his face. That way, there's no need to dub over his lines in the Original Trilogy and the character remains mysterious in at least one regard.
The whole point is to give backstory and expand his character with a movie, right? What's wrong with a really small part of that already being done? Yes, he's mysterious, but having him appear in a few scenes as a kid in Episode II doesn't remove the mystery from him. We don't know what he's like, how he's become, how he survived all those years on his own, etc. Y'know, stuff that actually defines his character.
As for the line dubbing, that's just Lucas being a dumbshit like usual. There's plenty of Clones of Fett that had a wide range of voices. Voice isn't genetic, it's based on what you're used to hearing then you mimic it.
Yeah, I know that the voice dub is just Lucas being dumb, but you at least understand what I'm saying, right? I'm not a prequel hater in the slightest, I'm just a bit disappointed as to how Lucas handled his backstory.
I still do not get what is possibly wrong with his backstory. He's orphaned at a young age, struggles his life, and makes his way to be one of the greatest Bounty Hunters in the galaxy. The clone thing means jack-diddly-squat. How that is thought of as an issue or problem is beyond me.
That's it, though. We know his backstory now. We didn't before, it was a mystery as to what his story was, his motivations, etc. Now, we know exactly what drives him, what he looks like, etc. And to top it all off, Lucas is a dumbass who thinks accents are hereditary, so Boba Fett won't sound this badass anymore.
Before, there were multiple tales as to what exactly were his origins, and we could speculate as to what exactly were his origins. Now, we know practically everything.
Oh, you know everything? Knowing what a man looks like tells you his entire life story, does it?
Hey, there's no need to cease being civil and adopt a hostile tone. I was merely stating my thoughts on the matter. You and I have agreed on many things in the past, there's no need to stop being pleasant over a disagreement regarding the backstory of a fictional character.
That wasn't hostile. It was sarcastic bordering on "are you fuckin' serious right now?". If I get hostile I start posting WH40k pics.
Can you address the points, though, plz?
I really don't want to continue debating this. Can't we agree to disagree? After he was orphaned, what happened to him? We don't know. Unfortunately, these pieces of shit exist.Exactly how did he cope with his father's death? We don't know. "i gun maek dad proud" Did he keep a grudge against Jedi ever since his dad's death? We don't know. OK, I know you despise TCW with a burning passion unmatched by the sun itself, but TCW states that yes, he does. Even without that show, it could be reasonably deduced that he does. How is he psychologically? We don't know See my response regarding how he coped with his father's death.

I think we all know who's really the biggest badass bounty hunter in the galaxy...
Whilst I like Boba Fett most of all, IG-88 is pretty damn cool. I like that some EU works depicted Fett and IG-88 as sort of competing for the title of "#1 Hunter." Like Arch-Enemies, almost. Pure badassery and tuition vs. Mechanized efficiency and complete lack of ethics. If IG-88 has more of a presence in new media, I hope they make him almost scary. His body, for a droid designed for combat, is a bit thin, but I think they could capitalize on this by making him a terrifying, unstoppable killing machine. A true adversary for Fett. They could make heavy visual use of his multiple eyes, making them the only light sources visible in a dark environment, constantly moving, looking around. Add some vibro-blades to that formula and you got a pretty scary droid.

Boba Fett is overrated.
And this makes a potential film a bad idea... how? If a film gives them a chance to expand his character, then what's the problem?

 Below is a summary I wrote last May regarding what I think the rumored Boba Fett film should be like, I thought it'd make an interesting discussion.You might've heard that there's a Boba Fett film that may or may not be made some day, and I thought that it would be an interesting topic of discussion.
I personally think it could be quite good, but only if done right.
The film shouldn't be a stupid action movie, it shouldn't be a thriller. No, it should be the side of Star Wars that, in my opinion, Boba Fett embodies.
It should be a Western.
I've always seen Boba Fett as the Clint Eastwood of Star Wars, a Man With No Name type character. Thus, I feel that a Space-Western-type film would be best suited for Fett. There shouldn't be a bunch of mindless explosions and such. Rather, there should be extremely tense scenes leading up to brief, but very intense shootouts. Like a stand-off in, well, a Western, or like the scene where Han shoots Greedo.
Now, we move on to the man himself. Now, he'd obviously have to be a bit more talkative than in the original trilogy, as he was merely a side character in those films. He should still be a man of few words, but he should have a lot of wit, delivered in a deadpan manner. However, there is something more interesting regarding Fett that is being considered by filmmakers: killing him.
What's being discussed is as follows: the actual Boba Fett, clone of Jango, is killed by a mysterious stranger, who then takes the title for himself. This would restore the mystery surrounding the character that I personally feel was lost upon his backstory being revealed in AoTC.
I'm all for this, but only under one condition: This would have to occur in between Revenge of The Sith and A New Hope. It has to be explained that this new guy is the Boba Fett we all know and love, not some Maori kid.
Furthermore, Fett's harsh moral code should be retained as well. Fett is noted to only take jobs that fit this code of honor. In addition, Fett is very puritanical regarding women. I think it goes without saying that Boba Fett would be ruined for all of us if we saw him banging space prostitutes.
Finally, we come to Boba Fett's position on the Good/Evil scale. Fett is no saint, but he's not evil either. He should still be likable in his own badass way. Thus, I think he should be on the darkest edge of neutral. Essentially, he should be a man "just trying to make his way in the universe."
That sums up my opinions on a possible Boba Fett film. Do you guys agree with my points, or do you have something entirely different in mind? Discuss.

Recently, I informed you all of the arrival of the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet. Now, I announce the arrival of one of the galaxy's most feared. For so long, I had searched. For so long, I had seen the online prices soar. For so long, I was deprived of my favorite character's 6" figure. That time is over. For one fateful November 2nd, I would look upon my Amazon wishlist, only to find that the price was a mere $3 more than retail, in comparison to $30-$50 more as had been the case. There was no question as to what action I should take. I purchased it, and anxiously awaited the arrival of the mighty hunter. The wait is over. Fett has come.  6" figure, scale is perfect, as with the other figures, with him being the same height as the Stormtroopers, and around a half inch shorter than Lord Vader.
