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.

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.

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.

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!

1:22 So even George Lucas embraced Boba Fett simply because he looked so cool.

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.

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

This guy goes deep into the story The fans: nah his armour just looked cool and he had a jet pack

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.

Boba Fett! Been waiting for boba since 1983. I was 9.

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.

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.

Boba knew han would leave during the garbage dump because he knew it was an old smugglers trick

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

Boba Fett is a bad ass simply because he is Boba Fett

Solid video. This guy gets it.

kool analysis of Boba Fett, he has always been my favorite character in the Star Wars Universe

.....and now he's back !!!!!!!!

I'll send this to everyone everyday

People who call Boba Fett overrated and say he doesn't do anything must have a brain the size of a pea.

Notice how there are no dislikes

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

All I hope is that the book of boba fett shows his past as well so we can see his pure bad ass

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.

Do more Boba Fett I really liked this video!

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".

Finally my boy Boba getting the credit

Very good analysis. Im surprised this video hasn't blown up yet

You seem very professional you should have more subs

Still the best Boba proof video ever!!! Hoping book of boba some how explains boba wanting jabbas palace and falling in pit.

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 👏

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

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.

the man, the myth, the mandalorian, the mythosaur

Subscribed and I can’t wait to watch more 🤩.

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

@4:30 he says "No disentagrations" because that's basically what Boba did to Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru. Yep, it was Boba Fett.

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 litraly survived the sarlac pit he IS a badass

Here after the latest mando episode. Yep, can confirm. Boba is a badass.

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.

and he actually didn't die from the sarlacc

He's just a bigger badass in the expanded universe

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

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

Great video

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

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.

Boba had a tracking device on the falcon since a new hope (remastered) - at the end of the solo/jaba scene

I am thanks

And now we know that this bad ass also servived the sarlack pit

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.

Boba knew how to hide in the rubbage cause obi did that with him and jango in attack of the clones

good vid

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.

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

Boba is a badass.

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)

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.

Han: "Boba Fett?!" Boba: "Present!" Han: "Boba Fett!?" Boba: "Tastes like your momma's kisses!"

Boba Fett was also in episode IV

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.

If you refrence the EU, this video would be over an hour long.

boba didnt die as mentioned in the mandolalorian and in lore so i wouldnt say "demise"

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.

Another reason you skipped over: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7hxq6qI0uClqJc.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.

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.

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.
