- BOBA FETT: Awesome or Overhyped?
In this video, I lay out the reasons why Boba Fett actually is a badass, and I do it while only referencing the original Star Wars trilogy. (Video reuploaded due to low audio issue)
(This video was released prior to The Mandalorian Season 2)

Also, in his fight scene in episode 14 of the Mandalorian, Boba doesn’t get shot once. He’s able to kill Stormtroopers before they can even shoot him.
Even in full beskar armour he’s been wearing for years he still ain’t get hit once due to the pure skill of fighting he’s learedc
Honestly that was kind of disappointing to me, that wasn’t a fight scene, that was just a massacre lol
@@bluebomber875 those storm troopers were rendered completely useless by some knee rockets that haven’t been used in like 10 years
@@deeznuts23yearsago Exactly, that’s what “massacre” means lol. Personally I think fight scenes aren’t nearly as interesting when one side is vastly more powerful than the other. That’s what made the Jango fight scene so fun to watch
@@deeznuts23yearsago his armor is made out of Durasteel
My personal head canon for why Boba caught on to Han's trick is that he's seen it before. It could be that he remembered when he was with his father and how they both thought Obi Wan had died in Geonosis' asteroid belt, and maybe the whole Asteroid belt chase in the Hoth/Bespin system reminded him of that, or he could have seen it been pulled off at any other time in his bounty hunting career.
Probably exactly why it happened since Lucas added that parallel.
This is entirely true. They show us enough in the movies to inform the audience he is a threat mostly through the way Darth Vader treats him. The other points add even more on top of that
And if you *DO* count the Expanded Universe, both Canon AND Legends, Fett *does* get out of the Sarlacc's tummy.
We all KNEW it, we just had to wait for Disney/LFL to accept the truth ;)
book of boba fett coming december this year
think about it. an entire show dedicated to this green bounty hunter. by dave filoni. its gonna be awesome
@@suffering-everyday probably
@@suffering-everyday lol I come from the future and it wasn't awesome. In fact only the first 10 minutes or so were good. It also ruined the Mandalorian S2 finale.
1:22 So even George Lucas embraced Boba Fett simply because he looked so cool.
The video tells the truth partially. The design was supposed to be for a super commando, they planned to make at least 100 of them but were budget-restrained. So George said, don't discard the prototype, paint it and make it one of the bounty hunters. I guess they eventually realized that from all of the bounty hunters he was the one who looked the part as the guy who finds the falcon.
Maybe boba fett gets special treatment because he’s a clone of Jango fett just like all the clone troopers and it reminds him of his old clone teammates before he was darth Vader
thats what i believe is canon and disney cant change my mind
Exactly.
This guy goes deep into the story
The fans: nah his armour just looked cool and he had a jet pack
He does look great tho...and the ship
About the no disintegrations part: It's actually both. He knows what Boba's capable of AND also has a bad experience with Boba disintegrating people. In canon, Boba once took out 3 rebel spies As Vader requested, but he disintegrated them, and because there weren't any bodies (because of the disintegration), Vader refused to pay him. So technically they both failed each other: Boba failed Vader by not being able to show him the dead bodies, and Vader failed Boba by not paying him. I know that this video is strictly based on the films and I used a canon book As a reference for this, but I think It's interesting. Other than that, great video, It's not my first time revisiting it and it definitely won't be the last!
Thanks man! That is a good point, and I actually hadn't heard that story before. Was it a pre-Disney or post-Disney story?
@@WhereinMedia post-disney, it was in a "From a Certain point of view" novel. I haven't read the story personally, but I looked it up and it's great.
Greatest Star Wars video ever. I get that not everyone wants to think as far into a character with so little screentime, but I wish people would maybe look a bit deeper and understand Boba before calling him overhyped/overrated.
What's also worth noting is that Boba has been in the bounty hunting business since he was like middle school age. He's a direct clone of the former greatest known bounty hunter, who we've seen execute Jedi on screen. I get that Boba's "demise" in RoTJ is silly, but look at Obi-wan and Vader's duel in ANH. A far cry from what happened on Mustafar. Just a result of the time the movies were made in, from my perspective.
*from a certain point of view
@@owenlewis7928 nice Tetsuo pic
Well boba fett is not dead anymore 😄
@@johncomaedra9122 bruh
Aside from hype for The Book of Boba Fett, the canon book “From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back” actually does show how Boba found Han, and it was ridiculously complicated! He snuck Slave-I into the Star Destroyer’s garbage airlock and fed false coordinates to all the other bounty hunters! That’s just the base of Boba’s plan to outsmart Solo.
Really? Man, that IS ridiculously complicated!
@@WhereinMedia Never doubt the man who outsmarted the man who outsmarted the Empire, AND who took out a clown car or two full of Stormtroopers in a few minutes.
@@thelad5 And I think his exact words were;
"Oh no! They're getting away! But wait, this long range missile couldn't possibly... could it?"
Baboom! Baboom!
"And the quarterback is toast!"
Or words to that effect I believe.
Boba knew han would leave during the garbage dump because he knew it was an old smugglers trick
True. They both have a history together, which is evident in the movies. He knows all about Hans tricks and wasn’t gonna let it off so easy
Right on, @@Dutch_man20! They had different areas of expertise, but both Han and Boba were Jabba's favorites. They knew each other alright. When Chewie tells Han that Boba Fett is on the skiff with them Han freaks out at that point. "Boba Fett?!? Where!?!" Where you can't see, Corellian...pretty much everywhere. This is the Way.
Can I point out that Vader might have left Boba off with just a stern warning, even if he did botch up a mission?
Boba had beskar armor, actual Mandalorian training, and mandalorian gear. Vader attempting to execute him might have been an embarrassing mis-step, since his response to being force-choked would likely be "Barbecue the space wizard" instead of "must get air."
An execution turning into an all-out fight he barely wins wouldn't be a good look for Vader.
Whatever Vader's internal reasoning, it serves to underline the level of threat Boba poses. The idea that Vader, Darth friggin VADER, might not want to start a fight with Boba further underlines just how much of a badass Boba is without a word being said or an action overtly shown.
7:10 My own head-cannon is that Boba didn't know the Falcon was there. He was just using the same trash stream to hide his own exit from the Avenger, since, being a bounty hunter of some note, he's learned to take some precautions and not just jump out of a docking bay and head off blindly.
Han did the same thing Obi Wan did in Attack of The Clones. Boba picked up on that trick and wanted to confirm his suspicions.
Boba Fett!
Been waiting for boba since 1983. I was 9.
In the episode 2 commentary George Lucas says Boba knew where Han was hiding because of the encounter he and Jango has with Obi-wan on the way to Geonosha
Besides, it' been confirmed that Boba Fett was heavily intoxicated during the party on the sail barge. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think a calculating coldblooded bounty hunter would get that way by being a functioning alcoholic
That's a fair point. Emotionally well-adjusted people don't typically become contract killers lol
where did they confirm this?
Mandalorian Season 2 made him even more badass, and hearing him talk shit straight to the faces of two mandalorians was the scariest thing I’ve ever heard, knowing that he could easily kill everyone in that room with his bare hands, albeit slower than Jango.
He was a full on BEAST in Mando, which made my little fanboy heart sing!
@@WhereinMedia, hell yeah, mate.
Boba Fett is a bad ass simply because he is Boba Fett
People who call Boba Fett overrated and say he doesn't do anything must have a brain the size of a pea.
Sounds weird but I subscribe more towards the idea Fett and Vader were closer to what you would call buddies than any other asset he hired. Fett was kinda like that person that gets away with a lot more than anyone else at work and is buddy buddy with the boss..All the others were seen as more "expendable".
All I hope is that the book of boba fett shows his past as well so we can see his pure bad ass
Notice how there are no dislikes
.....and now he's back !!!!!!!!
Yuuuuuuup! :D
Boba: "Back from the dead assholes! Oh, Boba's got a lightsabre now... make that two... red abd blue. Put them together and what do you get? Purple rain baby!"
I'll send this to everyone everyday
kool analysis of Boba Fett, he has always been my favorite character in the Star Wars Universe
Solid video. This guy gets it.
Thanks Gustavo, glad you liked it!
Finally my boy Boba getting the credit
Do more Boba Fett I really liked this video!
Thanks! It'll be a bit, but I'm going to do similar a video on why Jango Fett is a pivotal character in Star Wars.
Ok, thanks!
Very good analysis. Im surprised this video hasn't blown up yet
As Han solo states 'its an old trick', since Boba is the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy, he knew it ofc, as it being an old trick :D /the great hunt
You seem very professional you should have more subs
That's very kind, thank you! My channel is still pretty new, but here's hoping it grows.
Also he has ties to the hutts, and mandolorians or in boba’s case someone of the mandolorian training, can take down force sensitives, Jango took down 5 Jedi with no weapons, boba is a clone of him.....who says he can’t do same thing
The fact that Boba Fett is the only one who can talk back to Vader and not feel his wrath is saying alot in this continuity. Vader clearly has some respect for him; why else would he placate only him.
Only other person to talk back to vader in the films is tarkin
@@CRYSTAL_CUSTOMS that's right! I honestly forgot about him.
Let’s not forget Lando yells at him too. Maybe Vader was a little to lenient at times.
@@theman6705 maybe Vader had no interest in supplanting Bespin, too. That's probably why he didn't harm Lando.
Still the best Boba proof video ever!!! Hoping book of boba some how explains boba wanting jabbas palace and falling in pit.
Thanks man! Yeah, Book of Boba Fett should be an interesting look at the character. It'll also be the first time we'll see him on screen as the MAIN character (unless you count Clone Wars)
What's up bro!
You make top teir content. Your work shows how indept you had to go to cut specific pieces out of the entire star wars franchise, to cut together each of your videos.
I hope you're doing well and decide to make videos again. You have all the markings of making a successful business 👏
Boba Fett: The Man, The Myth, The Human Pinata.
A blind man with a stick, my only weakness.
Subscribed and I can’t wait to watch more 🤩.
Thanks man! Moving from notes to script on the next video and hope to have it ready sometime late this week/early next week
Once we do get into the EU, we find that Vader and Boba did, in fact, fight, and Boba very nearly won. The Force gave Vader the edge and allowed him victory, but the two left that fight with mutual respect for each other. This truly does support the points you make in this video.
Boba actually got a headshot on Vader, if it wasn't for his dense helmet, Boba would have won that fight.
@4:30 he says "No disentagrations" because that's basically what Boba did to Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru.
Yep, it was Boba Fett.
boba litraly survived the sarlac pit he IS a badass
and he actually didn't die from the sarlacc
That's true! I made this video before season 2 of the Mandalorian came out, so unfortunately that bit is a touch out of date now lol
Perhaps Boba had a reputation for disintegrating people, or at least certain people, and Vader wanted to make sure that this would not happen on this job. So it might not be that Boda screwed up a job for Vader, but rather Vader knew what Boba was capable of.
A fair point, but if Boba had a reputation for disintegrating people it still wouldn't make sense for Vader to bring him in on a job that absolutely HAD to be live capture. Either way, it just goes to show the confidence Vader had in his skills to bring him on board regardless.
It's also possible that Vader has sent him to kill people before and he disintegrated them. For those jobs, Vader probably didn't care as much, but this job must be a live capture so he made it clear. I'm sure Vader knows Boba can do live captures as well, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited at all.
@@WhereinMedia Also, in A New Hope, Beru and Owen were burned to a skeletal form. Boba was warned not to disintegrate. Then again, Boba Fett probably wasn't working for the Empire at the time.
@@WhereinMedia I remember reading something that said that in a mission before this one, Vader hired Boba to bring in some politician or something on Coruscant, however he must have not understood that he wanted him alive and he disintegrated him and I think him saying that was Vader just making sure that Boba wouldn’t do it again as he knew that he is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.
He's just a bigger badass in the expanded universe
True! And after season 2 of The Mandalorian, he's a bigger badass in canon too.
The legend lives on
And I’ll do it without referencing the EU
I like those odds
Mad Max said "I'm the guy who keeps Mr. Death in his pocket." Yeah, totally stole what Boba would say. If he even needed to say it.
further proof is in the sail barge fight,Boba is the only combatant who closes the gap with Luke,the main reason for this is that he attempts to catch him i would speculate to sell to Vader,i would also speculate that Jabba would let him take him,also he knows that its the best course of action to fight a Jedi(force user)purely from what he has witnessed from the fight at hand,he knows how dangerous this is but still does it and still attempts to capture Luke when he simply could have flamethrowered him(remember it was established that he had one in all of Empires related merchandise),he assesses the situation and acts in a very short space of time,remember he has witnessed Luke kill a Rancor,UNARMED,no mean feat
Fair point. Closing the distance definitely didn't work out for Boba, but he did get closer than anyone else there to slowing Luke down
@@WhereinMedia if you think about it Luke did not get free by his own accord,it was the blast from some trigger happy minion that put Boba down,by the time he was back up Luke was on the other sand skiff and just as Boba was drawing a bead on him....well we both know what happened next
@@splodge71 To be fair to the farm boy, he does cut the cable just before Boba gets knocked flat. There was so much going on, and so much outside interference, that it's difficult to get a good read on how each of them would have fared in a one-on-one fight. So hopefully Book of Boba Fett will indulge us!
the man, the myth, the mandalorian, the mythosaur
There's a difference between him being a threat, and actually having him be a badass. The stormtroopers are treated as "a threat", that doesnt make them any less cannon fodder.
it's funny actually using the sail barge scene could show how much of a badass he is too (besides everything unlucky lol)
As everything that happens is the fault of Jabba's guards not boba's
First boba fly's onto the barge, gets his ee-3 chopped in half then ties up Luke
and aims his wrist blaster at him and if not for a guard shooting at Luke giving him the chance to reflet the blaster bolt at boba causing him to fall,
if not that boba would've finished him off right then and there
Didn't boba and Han work together for a while with Jaba? Boba must've known Han was always on his bullshit and could see his play a mile away.
I believe they did in some of the pre-DIsney EU stories.
Here after the latest mando episode. Yep, can confirm. Boba is a badass.
I'm the 666th like in your video so I feel compelled to comment that, despite being cliché, Boba is my favorite character of all Star Wars and, after RobotChicken, I'm happy that you made such a great detailes explanation on his inner lore
666th you say? 😈
@@WhereinMedia indeed, such a curious summoning
Great video
Thank you!
And now we know that this bad ass also servived the sarlack pit
Oh we always knew, we just had it confirmed. ;)
@@WhereinMedia thanks idk that
@@jackfarnum7558 We didn't actually "know", I was referencing how for years Boba fans insisted he had made it out of the sarlacc with nothing to go on but a few EU novels.
Boba had a tracking device on the falcon since a new hope (remastered) - at the end of the solo/jaba scene
Boba knew how to hide in the rubbage cause obi did that with him and jango in attack of the clones
That was the og boba fett voice
You can read Boba in a different way than "Vader respects him for some reason." Given what little we know of him from ESB and RotJ, Boba might well be there by direct request of Jabba the Hutt, who we know from all three films wants Han over some sort of debt. Vader wants Luke and the Falcon itself, Hutt wants Han, and Vader isn't known for caring about collateral damage. If I were Hutt (thank God I'm not), I'd have wanted a proxy there to make sure Han isn't obliterated. Vader placating Fett on any front makes more sense if you account that Space Brando is the one Fett's actually working for.
I am thanks
good vid
Also when Luke is following the stormtroopers and gets caught, the person who shoots at him when he turns his head around the corner is Boba Fett.
His first scene was in Star Wars a new hope he is seen in the back ground with Han and jabba. And in the books he is a bad azz period
If you refrence the EU, this video would be over an hour long.
Only an hour? I think you might be underestimating just how much Boba Fett material is out there/how much I have to say about it all lol
@@WhereinMedia an hour at minimum, if you wanted, you could stretch his eu story out for an entire day.
@@Firelord91021 Hahaha is that a challenge? ;) Because I probably won't take it lol. Writing, filming, and editing a 20 minute video is rough enough, I can't imagine how long a 1440 minute video would take!
@@WhereinMedia yeah I'm not gonna force you to do something that bad. Editing is the worst. But hey if you ever run out of content, that could always be a backup plan.
@@Firelord91021 One big, final hurrah. I dig it. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I like your thinking.
odly enough the first speilcial edtion the one where they resorded the jaba secnes for new hope kinda explains this, as boba witrh jabba whenhe meats hun, which implies they run in simler cecles and porbale know about each other to some exstent (this still not going in to legends)
Vader prob likes Boba because his dad almost killed Obi-Wan, also it's probably nostalgic for him to be hanging around a "clone trooper" again.
Boba Fett was also in episode IV
Boba is a badass.
Damn right! Mandalorian season 2 didn't prove it, it just confirmed it for those of us who already knew.
Dude, your mad cool and all but cmon, boba knew because of attack of the clones, that happened in the asteriod field with obi-wan and his father.
I remember having a reason for not including that, but I can't remember what that reason was or find it in my notes so I concede the point
@@WhereinMedia it was a big mystery from 1980 to 2002, he was just mad cool, cant wait for book of boba fett, depressed about cara dune though, she is so hot.
boba didnt die as mentioned in the mandolalorian and in lore so i wouldnt say "demise"
True, but I shot this before season 2 of the Mandalorian, so that information had not yet 'officially' come to light.
@@WhereinMedia oh my b
@@WhereinMedia love ur vids btw
@@z0000animus Thanks man!
@@WhereinMedia np
Han: "Boba Fett?!"
Boba: "Present!"
Han: "Boba Fett!?"
Boba: "Tastes like your momma's kisses!"
Why does Boba Fett get special treatment? Well nobody in the Universe wants to kill Mace Windu more than Boba Fett, And *if* Mace Windu is still alive there is nobody he wants to kill more than Anakin (Vader) ... Vader is wise to keep his company.
An interesting thought. If Vader is keeping Boba around as protection, then that would make Boba even MORE badass!
@@WhereinMedia Jedi are pretty much wiped out! Anakin after being turned into a Roasted Pig with all but the apple in mouth ... must *surely* think Windu could survive the EXACT same thing he endured when Dooku snipped his wrist ...
Another reason you skipped over: th-cam.com/video/MRAxGWmzAxc/w-d-xo.html
12 minutes of in depth story analysis to justify the fact that the only reason he was ever cool was because of a pre release toy and a sick armor design.
Come on guys let’s be real. If in the first John Wick movie all we heard was how badass he was without seeing it ourselves we wouldn’t have bought into the mythos and legend surrounding the character. For a character to really scream badass they gotta show and tell.
From what’s shown, he’s a very capable bounty hunter but by no means is he some untouchable legend. Evident by his hilarious and disrespectful death (yes he died in the Sarlacc pit regardless of what Legends or Disney wants to tell you). All I’m saying is fans act like he’s the John Wick of Star Wars but there was never anything shown in the original trilogy to suggest that.
Tarkin is technically above him.
I think George Lucas said this or someone else who worked on Star Wars, but they once said that boba fett fell in to the sarlacc pit because of dumb luck
Fetts aren't Mandalorians, they're normal people, Jango Fett pried the armor off a Mando. Explained in a Cannon comic.
Boba might not have been a Mandalorian, however Jango was. I'm not sure what canon comic you're referring to, but it was superseded by Mandalorian season 2, where it's directly stated that Jango was a foundling.
Fetts are mandalorians according to the mandalorian show
