I've always accepted that Boba Fett was completely dead and the only way that he got out of the Sarlacc was as a lump of heavily armed and armored poop.


In Empire I will admit that he was pretty bada$$ he didn't say much, he stood up to Vader.

I even had hopes for him in Jedi with the very cool silent nod in the Jabba's palace scene and then he touches the girls chin like he has no care in the world.

Then he turns out to be this incompetent bumbler in the fight scene.

Even when they dug deeper into him in the EU and the Legacy of the Force stories, they had a writer Karen Traviss or whatever her name was who was completely 50 shades of gray on the guy and he became this hugely over powered character who was kicking Jedi's teeth in without breaking a sweat.

I've always liked Bobba Fett from Robot Chicken

Liked the shiny imperial suit lightsaber shot, aesthetically pleasing minimalist shots are part of what made the originals so good.
Woah now, you saw it?

Perhaps he's referring to that "fake but decent" one?

You've been fired havent you? I understand Bingo is setting up a sort of CP'ers relief fund for things like that.

Boba Fett was always a schmuck. That he has fans is baffling.

I was expecting more lens flares, good for JJ not to give away his one move in a trailer.

Loved that all of the other sound effects were basically the same though.

The movie will automatically be a step ahead if they keep the idiotic comic relief one liners to a minimal- or non existent.

Guess they couldn't find the OEM round satellite dish for the top of the falcon after VI... went with an after market square one.


Looks cool, not a fan of the light sabre's little flare out guards, but thats me being nit picky. The Xwings look awesome, the Falcon looks sweet!

We haven't heard from CaptainCrunch yet.

Did he pass out?
