Completely agree. Laughed out loud when I read that.

I just read that book for the first time last week and was so caught off guard he showed up but really enjoyed his brief portrayal there

Han Solo was just cargo lol

Han Solo's ego took a huge dive that day🤣🤣🤣

That is bad ass.

Hondo barely has a ''code''. One minute he says he won't kill children and the next minute he has no problem killing children. His ''code'' his ethics and morals are entirely based on profit. Boba is nothing like Hondo.

@@anxietywave8735 Hondo’s morality is indeed heavily influenced by potential for profit. But he does appear to have sense of right and wrong, and at the very least he will acknowledge and appreciate honor in other people.

So lawful evil?

@@anxietywave8735 Don’t forget in the Takes of the Bounty Hunter story, Boba say about doing many things he’s not proud of, including one of his first jobs being killing/ capturing to bring to his death (I forget which one) a young boy. Also in the clone wars young Boba is taught some things by Hondo. I agree that they are not the same person, but they have a fair few similarities

@@regishwadum Maybe more true neutral.

No wonder Boba was in so many games.

Well put mate I hear you

"He's anti-drug and abstinent so he's a zealot" You're kidding right?

INCEL isn't a good term period.

I have always headcanoned Jango as asexual. He didn´t have a kid with some female bountyhunter colleague, he just let the Kaminoans clone his son from his DNA. As an asexual he also wasn´t distracted by sexual urges, so he was more focused on mastering his skills - kinda like Nikola Tesla with science, but Jango mastered his fighting and bountyhunting skills. And because Boba is his clone, it is highly likely he would be asexual too.

Hajjshhsdjdjj holy shit he’s right

Y'mean "Tighten", right?

@@nicholasfarrell5981 yeah whatever that freak is.

Pretty sure Ted Bundy was highly sexually successful, actually

Megamind was ahead of its time. Hal is just elliot rogers with super powers.

Nothing wrong with being voluntarily celibate. If anything it's pretty noble.

@@sikid4000 I agree. It used to be the norm to not spread our genes everywhere for a variety of reasons. In the assumption that we have "progressed" as a society, we have regressed in many ways, not realizing that not every movement is forward, but some are backward or to the sides if you get my meaning. I'm saving myself for marriage, though that is partially due to my religion (Christian).

@@CaesarGB Me too, I'm Christian. And I agree. Progress isn't always good. There's a reason society was the way it was. Changing it for the sake of changing it isn't inherently good because "progress."

Right. It can't be "involuntary celibacy" if it is voluntary.

Boba is a man of focus and commitment. He doesn’t need hoes or drugs. He’s focused on his goals. I still get that vibe from him in the Mandalorian.

Sintas Vel would disagree

Lost his armor

@@Blazecap His dad would second that.

It doesn´t seem weird to me. I have always headcanoned Jango as asexual. He didn´t have a kid with some female bountyhunter colleague, he just let the Kaminoans clone his son from his DNA.

@@Mysikrysa Jango being asexual is a huge leap to make just because he doesn’t have a kid

"TradCath Boba Fett" is not something I ever expected to say.

Nah, for that kind of guy, one form of _Volcel_ is definetly what they are.

@@lazyc0mmander277 Deflecting this kind of modern social media terminology on anything really is cringe.

@@TheKingofbrooklin ??? Disregarding the word deflecting which I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean here and the fact that you called me out for my use of _social media vocabulary_ by using the word cringe I really don't see what's wrong with my use of the word volcel in this situation. Sure I could use other words to try and specify exactly what I mean but, not only do I not particularly want to think about my exact wording of a youtube comment for that long, I feel like "volcel" is apt and better express what I'm trying to say.

@@lazyc0mmander277 I ment projecting. I just do not like how codes about premaritial sex which is not uncommon in society is often associated with these strange "cel" terms.

That’s what I’m saying

Incel type comment

@@hideokojima2015 all he’s doing is providing some historical context of this character archetype. It’s very naive to apply 21st century internet culture and slang over everything.

Honestly, I think the reason the catholic church pushed chastity so much was because people in the medieval era didn't practice it. They were very different from the way the Victorian historians portrayed them.

@@daveyjoneslocker4703 incel type comment

If anything, he would be a volcel.

Agreed

Agreed, don't see how the act of respecting a woman's dignity and adopting a common moral belief held in the real world is a sign of being an "incel"🤨. Think Eckhart missed with this one.

Incel is such a misused term todays... It means involuntarily celibate, not celibate in general.

Adultery is not moral, fornication is different imo

@@G31M1 In Christianity fornication is wrong.

yeah, Eck is being stupid lol

I feel called out

They are very good some wacky ideas but good times

90s EU is some of the bst Stars War fiction ever. The Han Solo Trilogy and the "Tales of" anthologies are probably my favourite Star Wars fictions, even more so than the movies.

I dunno, that bit about him lacking desire makes him sound a bit asexual.

@@nicholasfarrell5981 Not a real thing

@@nicholasfarrell5981 just because you have no desire to have sex doesn't mean you're asexual.

@@Patman0074 didn't say he was. Just said that it sounded a bit like it.

@@ankereisenman4824 have you considered education? I hear it's a great way to get your head out of your ass.

@@Alertacobra12 based and beskar pilled

True Mandalorians had a very strict code. While they were violent, they didn't involve innocents....unlike BoKaren

@@dawnkladerman598 Bo-Karen is a disgrace to the armor.

THIS !

They got the last laugh though, when you consider what happens to Bossk at the end lmao

@@Reiman33 It's pulpy scifi, wasn't meant to be an insult.

Damn

@@pendantairplane no he put the tracking device on the Millennium Falcon all he did in Empire Strikes Back after that stand around and look intimidating then in Return of the Jedi he fell into the sarlacc pit and died Boba Fett and Captain phasma are more alike than you think

Boba was an antagonist. His whole point was to be an obstacle for our heroes.

@High Council Yep. Boba's tracking device that lead to the Imperial takeover of Bespin, the betrayal and later joining of Lando with the Rebellion (who later destroyed the 2nd Death Star), the freezing and capture of Han, and allowed for the crucial battle between Luke and Vader that changed their destinies. Yeah, totally useless...

Well, considering Fett routinely kills and captures sentient beings for money, it IS a little strange that he draws the line at pre-marital sex.

@@Penultimeat The most of beings he captures and kills are criminals. People IRL were highly religious and valued premarital chastity in the past, it didn´t stop them from waging wars. So it is not weird.

Really? I remember him showing up in the boba fett trilogy that takes place after tales of the bounty hunter.

@@grandmoffjake6871 Well I guess his final fate is left ambiguous, but he's trapped in a cell that seemed pretty impossible to escape from, but perhaps he didn't meet his end there. I wonder what's actually considered canon.

I definitely respect him even more with his values. You can make any other bounty hunter a sleeze ball and lacking in respect for women, but making Boba one doesn't sit right. I like his characterization because it coincides with Mandalorian code and pretty normal/reasonable customs and beliefs today that I can relate to🙌🙌🙌

@@_thomas1031 yeah great points, maybe this could fit boba himself. It’s definitely a more nuanced and interesting stance on a bounty hunting villain and I’m curious to see how much of any of these traits might be held by Boba later this year

@@_thomas1031 I mean this backstory for him goes so far to explain why he works for the empire and why he actually believes it’s morally correct. That’s how you write a compelling character. You add his code, moral values and sheer bad ass reputation on top and you have a god tier character. I really think modern writers have fallen into the trap of equating “mature content” with being actually mature subject matter.

I have always headcanoned Jango Fett as asexual. He could have a kid in normal way but he chose to have a clone of himself as his son. This is exactly what many asexuals would do if cloning technology was on Star Wars level and human cloning was legal. And because Boba is Jango´s clone it is highly likely he is asexual too.

Volcel actually. Maybe some of the women he rejected were incelled by him. :D

Check out Josh Adams

@@gregharn1 I've checked some of his stuff out and while I enjoy it, I'm more of a traditional audiobook guy. I got hooked on them with the Wheel of Time and am now too acclimated with solo narrator's rather than full productions with sound effects and such.

@@callumwright7459 Like his dad, a simple man making his way through the galaxy.

Boba wasn´t really a villain. He was neutral, he took no sides and was just doing his job as a bountyhunter. The most of people he hunted probably deserved it more or less. Neutral characters can be shifted to good. I hate it when they attempt to do this with real unapologetically evil villains like Bo-Karen or Kylo Ren. It doesn´t work.

@@Mysikrysa ​ @Callum Wright I disagree, if you look at every appearance of Boba, he is not neutral. the Infamous Holiday Special, Empire, Droids, Return of the Jedi, he wasn't just a bounty hunter but also muscle for Jabba the Hutt, and worked with/for the Empire. As a kid he knew his father was a shady character, probably was aware of his fathers involvement in trying to assassinate senator Amidala , and even fired Slave One's guns at a Jedi who represented Law and order. I'm sure he collected bounties on plenty of dirt bags, but he was involved in shady business, and when I call him a villain I'm not suggesting he's killing puppies, beating up old ladies, or committing genocide, but he doesn't just collect bounties, and he doesn't have a problem shooting to kill no matter who he's shooting at.

@@W4kT3k The Jedi should represent law and order. But they were also a cult of religious zealots who took babies from their families and taught them to supress their emotions, and we all know how it ended. The Jedi became something totally different then what they were supposed to be. They became soldiers instead of peace keepers. They had no problem to use the army of clones who were designed to be obedient and OK with being disposable war material. The Republic was corrupted and blind to see their own hypocrisy. The "evil" Separatists at least used droids as soldiers instead of humans. So the Jedi represent law and order of a regime which is rotten and falls apart because its own hypocrisy and dysfunction. The Republic has totalitarian tendencies too, because why the hell didn´t they just let the separatistic planets leave the Republic? The more you think about it, the more the moral high ground of the Jedi doesn´t seem so high. Jedi and Mandalorians are also historical enemies. A Jedi killed Boba´s father. It would be weird if he wanted to join Luke out of the blue. Boba worked for the Empire and Hutt cartel because who else was around and paid well? The Empire was an official government for the most of Boba´s bounty hunting career, except of a few last years of the Republic before its fall. Some people saw the Empire as the real law and order, and the Rebels as a bunch of terrorists. Some people saw no difference between the Empire and the Republic because for example slavery on remote planets was a problem during the Republic era too. And I think Boba would draw the line at the point when the bounty would be a child who is supposed to be murdered or enslaved. And if puppies or innocent old ladies were the bounty. :D

Umm, God doesn't exist in Star Wars... It's Probably just the Way the Kaminoans Engineered him or how Jango Raised him

Lmao based Boba

No. It´s so terrible Boba isn´t religious, and he still has moral values and self-control! The atrocity! He should be in polyamorous BDSM realtionship with transgender Wookie, disabled Togruta drag queen, genderfluid Tusken and nonbinary Rodian!

Flirting isn’t the same as actually having sex. Christians do some flirting and kissing but if they do it right they wait until marriage for things to get heated. But, I don’t think Jabba’s dancing girls are the marriageable type, especially not for a man like Boba. But you have a point with him working for a drug lord.

@@CaesarGB I get that. But I do think they were implying he was doing more.

Nope, that interaction was in the theatrical version.

@@ImTheReverse It wasn't.

Yep, Josh Adams

In Legends, did Senator Palpatine come from Corellia?
