kys homosexual
This is by far one of the most moronic retcons. There is not a single story/thematical reason for Boba Fett to be a fricking clone. It adds nothing. There is not a single reason for the clone army to be clones of Boba Fett. It was done only because "REMEMBER BOBA FETT?" Him being a homosexual maori manlet only detracts, it doesn't enhance the story in any way. There is no reason Boba Fett should have been in those movies at all.
Also, Jason Wingreen > Morrison
You got blown out in the last thread. Who wouldn't want an army of the most strongest bounty hunter?
There is no reason to make Jango and Boba Fett related. Jango is literally a reskin, a clone of a character from 1980 movie. Why? For what purpose? Why can't Boba Fett be his own character? It literally adds nothing to the story. It is pointless and irrelevant, and only ruins the coolness and mystique of Boba, on top of cool as frick voice.
George already fricked up by giving Boba a lame death, as well as a minimal role in general. He may as well try and remedy that by making him more important later on.
To give more insight into Boba Fett as a character. You just want a mysterious nothing of a character.
There was no fricking mystery about him, he was literally just some guy.
And he was better that way.
Because you want an army of lone wolves
What does it fricking matter if he’s a clone or not. His face isn’t shown in the OT so who cares
Now Boba Fett is a fat maori manlet, a charisma vacuum, that can not act to save his life. You deserve this Boba Fett.
Also, imagine unironically saying that Morrisons boring, uninterested, apathetic, slow voice is somehow better than Wingreen.
I am ashamed to share a board with you, homosexuals.
a charisma vacuum
AHAHAHAHAA and the OT boba and wingreen were charismatic???/ the dude sounded like a fricking raspy robot, Boba is a wooden character.
I'd take Morrison any day.
You'd take wiener up your ass, prequelgay. Doesn't make it good.
> the dude sounded like a fricking raspy robot, Boba is a wooden character.
Are you wrong about everything in life?
>ad hominems because he doesn't have a compelling argument as to why someone with 4 lines is better than someone with actual characterization
Weak
I'm wrong about many things, but i'm right in saying Boba Fett is wooden, Wingreen was wooden and it is laughable that you call Tem's Boba non-charismatic, yet think Wingreen was. He was not, Boba as a character is not charismatic. Full stop. It is emabrassing how over these years OT gays have deluded themselves, you have created a false idol idea of Boba Fett in your head.
The reality of Boba Fett was he was a cool set of armour, but charismatic?
4 wooden raspy lines are not charisma.
I mean boba was charasmatic considering the impact he had on the short amount of screen time he had
That's Enigmatic not Charismatic.
He looked cool
He wasn’t charismatic that is a completely different thing
Boba Fett's appeal was the design, the mystique, and in some small part the performance, and more particularly the voice over work.
He didn't become important until the prequels. Which was Lucas addressing the fandom he had developed, but it ironically backfired.
>just throw him in the pit
Absolutely based. Frick Bobagays.
Ok so you have your 4 line nothingburger character
Boba had been around for two decades and had developed a cult fandom ofc Frito was gonna give him a backstory in the prequel literally free money
*George
Wingreen sounds like Hector Salamanca
Morrison actually has charisma but Boba Fett shouldn't be charismatic or have the soft voice he has. The raspy voice from Wingreen makes Fett sound seasoned, tough and slightly creepy. Also the only people who should have British accents or similar are the imperials from the core worlds.
Morrison is a great voice actor. The only reason his ESB lines sound bad is because they had him record his lines over the phone and they didn't tell him why. If you listen to his Battlefront voice lines, he's just as good (if not better) than Wingreen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I1lQO7tMDqc&t=296s
What a salty, annoying neo-boomer you are.
Jango Fett/Temuera > Wingreen and his shitty 4 lines boomers jerk over.
That's not a retcon is anon.. Literally nothing was known about Boba Fett. Making him a clone is a story addition by George, not a retcon, but I expect nothing less from OT gays.
It is a retcon. Boba Fett was Jeremy Bulloch (1.83m) who was voiced by Jason Wingreen:
Now he is a homosexual maori manlet (1.71m), and his voice was literally changed and retconned. It is a retcon.
Again, that's not a retcon. Height is not a retcon, actor change of a character whose face was never seen is not a retcon
That's like saying Dee Bradley Baker's clone voice is a retcon.
Boba Fett actually has two origins. The first one was given in the 90s novel The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett.
He was originally a space policeman named Jaster Mareel who had gotten booted off the force and became a bounty hunter named Boba Fett afterwards. Then Attack of the Clones came out and made everything all fricky.
You do realize this Boba was an alien, right? Not an actual human character. Just saying.
He was pretty human in the movies.
>comic books
No one cares.
>He was pretty human in the movies
How so? They never show his face.
Looks human, talks human, has human form and proportions. All other aliens in the OT were either deformed or did not speak proper english, or both.
>Looks human
He's covered up.
>talks human
So do Ki Adi Mundi and Yoda.
>has human form and proportions
So does Darth Maul.
> All other aliens in the OT were either deformed or did not speak proper english, or both
The OT had literal Satan-guy aliens who may as well have been human if not for the fact that they had horns on their heads.
>So do Ki Adi Mundi and Yoda.
Both deformed and don't look human.
>So does Darth Maul.
Did not exist in the OT.
>The OT had literal Satan-guy aliens who may as well have been human if not for the fact that they had horns on their heads.
So they are not humans? You could not wear a helmet with those horns. And we did not hear him talk.
There was this guy, but he was cut from ESB.
The point is that everything you liked about Boba's potential backstory was something you added yourself, as headcanon.
He doesn't meet your expectations in either timelines, outside of what little appearance he had in live aciton.
Battlefront 1 was made with people like you in mind, give it a spin
I remember having this flyer when I went to see RotS as a kid and finding it really cool that Boba and Jango were related despite Jango seemingly appearing more high-tech/futuristic. I liked the juxtaposition of the OT/PT characters and that it was all tied together.
Later on, I understood why people didn't like George including so many references to the OT, but it never really bothered me at that point.
Jango is better than Boba, specially after book of Boba Fett
George Lucas has a big hard-on for clones, virgin births, orphans, and missing parents. I wouldn't be surprised if yoda and obi-wan were virgin births or clones at this point. The Jedi steal people's kids and never let them see their parents again. Seriously, who in the movies has a mother and father? Anakin just has a mom and sheev force raped her. Leia almost had a mother but they had to retcon that to make Padme die right after birth. Can't have Boba Fett have a mom and dad, gotta be a clone. Can't have Rey have a mom and dad, nope, clones too, abandoned and dead as well.
Yes, everyone in star wars is either an orphan or adopted or a clone. Star Wars seems to be more about a concept of found family.
Malding.
i had this wallpaper 20 years ago as a kid and thought it was badass
Jango would've killed Mace Windu if his theme music was playing
it has roots in the original early ESB concepts that Boba Fett, before he had that name, was an elite Imperial supersoldier, more elite than Stormtroopers. Originally Boba's outfit was entirely white. So this was Lucas revisiting old concepts and reworking them, whilst providing some backstory for Boba Fett
see
Dee Bradley Baker is a better actor for the clones than Morrison. https://youtu.be/Yvhh984wXco
And both Boba and Jango get mogged by Mando.
Boba maybe. Jango as it stands is more capable than Mando. He killed a Jedi onscreen and several offscreen.
More capable, yes, but Din has better characterization in his first couple of episodes than Jango gets in his scenes in AOTC, and I like his physical and voice performance more.
I like Din and the show in general, but not as a bounty hunter. To me he represents a lone wolf (and cub) more than a proper hitman character.
So in that regard, there is no "original Boba" equivalent, if that makes sense. The best bounty hunter stuff is from the books or comics.
And the added benefit of a cameo by Boba and respectively Jango. Din is something different.
Makes sense.
My stance as of 2022 is simply that Jango > Boba in terms of the bounty hunter/hitman angle.
And Din being something else entirely, with a few elements that he shares with Boba.
But in terms of having the most potential, and coming across as the most intriguing in general, I'd have to go with Boba in the OT.
He was also used better in the games, but that's another topic, and it applies a lot to Jango as well.
>He was also used better in the games, but that's another topic,
Oh most definitely. I love Boba in the Battlefront games, og and DICE. It's definitely the effect of empathizing with characters when you actually control them, and they say cool stuff when you kill people.
I didn't care about Cal Kestis until I actually played Fallen order, but I really enjoyed the character's eagerness and uncertainty, because he was reacting to how I played and what I discovered
I'm just now remembering I had a Boba costume for halloween that I really liked as a kid, mainly because I read this boba fett book where he tries to kill Mace windu, which eventually got turned into an arc of Clone Wars
This. In fact, every other person who had voiced the clones was better than Morrison. Every other clone in Republic Commando sounded better, the clones in BF2 sounded better. Morrison just doesn't have any range and his pronunciation is too slow and drawn out.
Boba Fett was designed as an elite storm trooper
Downers ?
Georgie Boy was having a laugh because "Boba Fett" was just a scrapped idea for a special class of Stormtrooper that they repainted at the last minute as an individual character who for reasons he'll never understand became a breakout icon that enjoyed decades of popularity despite limited and lackluster screentime. He thinks you're gay nerds and was making a meta joke about how throwaway Boba Fett was.
>limited and lackluster screentime
That was part of what made Boba special, his mysterious aura was made from how little he was on screen and how little he spoke combined with his cool armor, just like Maul pre resurrection (and to a lesser extent Phasma and Snoke) their short appearances leave the viewer wanting more which leads people to buy merch, books, comics and vidya to learn more about them, this has always been the business model of Star Wars.
The look similar because Boba Fett was supposed to be an elite Stormtrooper.
It was done because boomers and Gen Xrs were expecting the clones to be alien monster clones, and Jorge in his infinite wisdom wanted to subvert the idea and instead make the troopers the clones! HAHA! What a great idea! Even though it's actually completely moronic!
The Geonosians should have been the alien monster clones. They invade and take control of Kamino, and force the kaminoans to make armies of genetically modified clone Geos.
The clone Geos then invade various poorly guarded republic spaces and pillage and burn entire colonies and planets to test their strength.
The clone troopers should have just been Republic troopers. They could have looked exactly the same and you could have essentially had all the same characters, except they're not stupid pointless clones.
>It was done because boomers and Gen Xrs were expecting the clones to be alien monster clones
Source?
Every nerd thought The Clone Wars would be either evil Jedi clones or some sort of alien monster clones. George wanted to do something different to subvert that since even he didn't have a real idea of what it was when he put it in the OT. And eh, I guess he succeeded. Still had a moronic reason for them to get made and used though.
>OT purist gayboy writes out his fanfiction/headcanon of what the prequels "should've been"
>Story is 100% worse than the actual final product
It is better.
Low IQ: George's canon sucked, here's why my moronic headcanon is better
Medium IQ: George's canon was perfect, it doesn't need improvements
High IQ: The canon COULD be improved, by only by proven EU writers
It should’ve also been at least two conflicts. The clone wars clearly means there was more than one.
What's just as dumb was them making Boba Fett come from a race of people who all wear the same armor and combat is a religion for. It was best when he was just a simple bounty hunter.
Boba Fett's armor was originally white, so that helps me understand what Lucas was thinking. A mandalorian warrior and his combat armor serving as a basis for a clone army. Makes sense.
