[edit] Code of Honor

Every web source about Fett I've read says he has a code of honor. But not a single one lists a single bloody specific part of that code. I get that he mainly goes for jobs he sees as just, and apparently he doesn't take advantage of slave women. But to be a "code of honor" there usually need to be more regulations then that.

[edit] Zorba

Zorba Desilijic Tiure also escaped the stomach of a sarlacc so that should be noted in this article which says no one in recorded history has ever completed aforementioned feat.

  • Zorba didn't really escape; he was spit out. Also, please sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment. Merci. // ~mikah~ 23:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
  • In addition, might I add, this article is about Boba Fett, not Zorba. If you would wish to say that Zorba "ecaped" from the Sarlaac. you should put so on Zorba's page.

<~Kg®imes2~> 21:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Well, the point was brought up here because this article notes that Boba was the only being ever to escape the sarlacc. Though as I said earlier Zorba didn't necessarily escape, per se, but if he did manage to get free on his own, appropriate changes would have to be made to this article. // ~mikah~ 01:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jabba scene

The Boba Fett page needs a little editing. In the 'off screen' section the wording seems to suggest (incorrectly) that the scene of Han solo with jabba the hut added to the movie was filmed later and that Boba fett was added. the scene was filmed at the same tiem as the film and Boba fett was always in the scene. this is why he appears in earlier incarnations such as having a toy and being in the Christmas special.

no, he was added to the scene. 64.216.48.185 23:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Jumpy

[edit] Sarlacc time?

Ok, how many times was he in the Sarlacc? I always thought he was in there once, but the article seems to hint that he was there twice? When did he fall in for a second time? --The Wolfe22 15:55, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

  • He escaped and fell back in in Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom. jSarek 16:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
    • Oh, ok, thanks. That must've really sucked for Boba, though... --The Wolfe22 13:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
      • Okay, wait. Boba Fett escaped the Sarlaac in The Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy... and he fell back in? Preceding or succeeding The Bounty Hunter Wars era? Is there a page that further explains this? Is it canon? If so, there should be an edit made to Boba Fett's bio at the beginning of his page. Thanks for all of your help. Kgrimes2 19:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
      • Okay... I went to the page you (JSarek) put on the above statement. As you said, the statement claims that Boba Fett did fall back in. Although... according to Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Wars, Boba Fett blew up the Sarlaac, I suppose killing it, and was rescued by Neelah and Dengar. But, according to Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom, he fell into the Sarlaac along with several Jawas. Something is wrong here... one of these sources (either The Mandalorian Armor (the first book of the Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy)or Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom) needs to be defined as no-longer canon. Thanks for everything! Kgrimes2 19:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
        • That's really not up for us to decide. Only Lucas staff may define works as canon or not; until then, we simply note the conflicting information. // ~mikah~ 20:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
          • I understand that, but should there be some note on The Mandalorian Armor and Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom claiming that there is something wrong with the issue spoken? Or should this issue be placed on the Problems reports list on WookieePedia? In addition, as --The Wolfe22stated at the beginning, this article seems to say that he fell in a second time. Well I suppose this isn't such a huge deal, per se, not to be dealt with immedeately. But it would be something to take care of in the near future to supply fellow Wookieepedians with corect, canon information.
            Kgrimes2 03:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
              • Alright, I feel really stupid. I just read the article on "survival," and apparently Boba Fett fell into the Sarlaac in Episode VI. Then, the Sarlaac spit him up. Then, the events in which Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom took place. Boba Fett manipulated the Sarlaac to blow up his jetpack, killing the Sarlaac. This is where The Bounty Hunter Wars started. Sorry about everything. Kgrimes2 03:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Boba Fett didn't actually kill the Sarlaac though, because after Dengar saves him, he take Boba and Neelah into the tunnels around the Pit of Carkoon, and a piece of the Sarlaac attacks them. The thing is MASSIVE, and one detonation in its main gullet is not going to kill it. It sas even in the book that it is not dead, just that the mouth at the Pit of Carkoon is destroyed. Jaygo Katarr 14:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Oh, you're right. I quote: "I... I blew it up." --Boba Fett. Kgrimes2 18:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Fett fell in during Return of the Jedi, then escaped per A Barve Like That/The Bounty Hunter Wars. He then fell in again at some point afterwards: Jawas of Doom must take place after the Bounty Hunter Wars, since the Battle of Endor occurs near the end of BHW. He was spit out before Jawas of Doom, fell back in inside the sandcrawler, and escaped in an as-yet-unknown way. A year after that he comes back and torches it with Slave I, promising to return and keep doing that. - Lord Hydronium 19:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
      • I was wondering when someone would get around to mentioning the fact that Jawas of Doom takes place after Return of the Jedi, and that the Battle of Endor takes place at the end of the Bounty Hunter wars books. This has also come up in previous discussions, here and here, that have been archived at the top of the page. I've noticed some other discussions that have been rotating back around with the same questions as previously discussed to newer discussion pages, too. I know it's a pain to read through all four of the archived discussions for this article (because there are quite a bit), but putting something that stands out a little more at the top that there are other discussion pages for this article might help with this. — Sadriel Fett 05:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
        • Okay, so Boba Fett escaped the Sarlaac via "blowing it up" during Star Wars VI? Shortly following, he fell back in in some unknown manner? In which he escaped because he was thought to be "undigestable" by the Sarlaac? Shortly following, he fell back in. This would make sense except for the fact that there is no date and experience where he fell back in in between Star Wars IV and The Jawas of Doom (correct?)? Or do I have the order of events mixed up? What makes sense to me is:

1) He fell in during Starwars IV.
2) He escaped.
3) He fell back in during Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom.
4) He manipulated the Sarlaac to detonate his jetpack "blowing it up" (as he says in "Mandalorian Armor").
5) Hence, the Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy begins.
Although, I have not read the comic book on The Jawas of Doom, so I cannot make this information accurate. Could someone post a proper timeline (incase mine was incorrect)?
Kgrimes2 17:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

  • My impression on this is that your four should be between one and two. The Mandalorian Armor states that this took place right after the movie. Dengar finds Boba lying on the sand, brutally burned and scarred, his clothing and armor kinda messed up. He heals, and to my knowledge, falls back in in Jawas of Doom. I dunno though... Jaygo Katarr 14:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
    • That sounds right, except for the question: "Why did he fall in again?" For some time, I had the impression that Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom took place at the same time as The Mandalorian Armor took place, but K. W. Jeter did not realize that there was already a story on Boba Fett's escape. Does that sound correct, or is there a proper timeline? Kgrimes2 17:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
  • That does seem the most reasonable explanation, so are we agreed upon that timeline? Jawas of Doom and Madalorian Armor are one and the same story, told differently? Jaygo Katarr 16:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Okay, so...


1) Boba Fett fell in in Episode VI.
2) He escaped either by:
2a) "Blowing it up" or
2b) The Sarlaac "spitting" him out.

So, should something be done about this? One of these articles (either The Mandalorian Armor or Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom) should be labeled as no-longer accurate? Or should we just allow fans to choose the way they think is correct? Kgrimes2 18:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

    • No, they aren't the same story, and I don't know where you're getting that from. The timeline was given above: A Barve Like That/The Mandalorian Armor, then Jawas of Doom. - Lord Hydronium 18:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Alright, so Boba Fett did escape three times... but there is no information on how he did. But, as far as we know, he is (in the Star Wars universe) currently free from the Sarlaac? Kgrimes2 18:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
        • Correct, Boba Fett is currently free from the Sarlacc. Kom'rk Vhett 12:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Okay, thanks. Kgrimes2 18:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
      • I think what hapened is that after he fell in during episode VI he esvaped by blowing up his jetpack. then was nursed back to health near the sarlacc in an under cavern ( I have heard). At somepoint the sarlacc destoyed the cave with its body forcing Fett out the Sarlacc eat him again. The sarlacc recodnized Boba and spit him out in fear of getting blown up again. Fett was found by Jawas and the events with the sand crawler take place unlitmatly crashing into the sarlacc. after pushing the rewened sand srawler out of the pit the sarlacc eat boba fett and the jawas. the sarlacc recodnized boba fett and spit him out again. somebody found him and nursed him back to health again. both the sarlacc and Boba fett make a full recovery.--Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin 21:56, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
  • So are you assuming that at the end of all of that, Mandalorian Armor begins? Kgrimes2 04:51, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't see how Jawas of Doom can be considered canon. The page for the Marvel Star Wars comics states that they are S-canon: "This includes mostly older works, such as much of the Marvel Star Wars comics, that predate a consistent effort to maintain continuity; it also contains certain elements of a few otherwise N-canon stories, and other things that 'may not fit just right.'" (from the Canon page). Jawas of Doom contradicts A Barve Like That in that Fett's armour survives its time in the sarlacc; also Fett has lost his memory, which didn't happen in A Barve Like That. Furthermore, is Fett really stupid enough to fall into the sarlacc again between ABLT and JoD (especially considering we are given no details of how he ended up in there again)? And could a sandcrawler fit inside the sarlacc's maw? Seems to me that this story is made non-canonical by ABLT as it actually tells of an alternative history of Fett's ONLY escape from the sarlacc that is contradicted by later sources. There are probably a million other reasons that I can't remember at this moment. Something to take up with Mr Chee I think.82.3.192.52 13:09, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Would link to add a non canon link to Boba Fett

I shot a video with my favorite Star Wars character, Boba Fett.

I have it on youtube.com under "Boba Fett and the Raiders" How do I make a link to it?

Section on 'Hunts' is not very extensive. Can we at least include an entry depicting his hunt for Kardue'sai'Malloc? It's canon and fairly pertinent. I'm willing to write up a section on it if required. TeChNoWC 07:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

You can put it on your userpage...just ask me on my talk and I'll get back to you on how to add YouTube videos.—B-Boba Fett! He'll kill us all! 17:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] /* Adding stuff to 'Hunts'*/

Also, possibly his hunt on Jodo Kast? I'm sure there are also more. TeChNoWC 08:02, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] "Everyone dies" quote

In the fifth sentence it says, "so that civilization can exits.". I have Tales of the Bounty Hunters and I noticed it says that in there too, but I'm just curious of if it's supposed to be "exist" and if so, should it be changed (or does some wikipolicy prevent that?)? Dmaster (Talk Contribs Count) 00:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure that's what it means, but you should ask an administrator.—B-Boba Fett! He'll kill us all! 18:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] only 15

Wait he was only 15 when him and Sintas married and had Ailyn--Kyronix 01:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

  • He was born in 31.5 BBY, while Ailyn was born in 14 BBY. It means Boba was almost 18 when he had Ailyn. Kael Rayne 21:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quote

There's a really sweet quote (while Boba Fett captures Toxus Li). Should we change it?

"Throughout the vast reaches of the galaxy—wherever fugitives met or lawbreakers conspired—one name was always uttered in hushed tones...a name guaranteed to strike fear into the stoutest heart. Some said he was a Mandalore warrior, others that he merely wore the Mandalore battlesuit because of his unrivaled killing power. The truth was impossible to confirm, for none had seen the face that gazed with merciless eyes from within that battered helmet—none, at least, who had lived to tell the tale. What no one had doubted was that Boba Fett was the most heartless being in the universe."

[edit] Page Section

I think that the page needs a section listing partners, temporary or otherwise, and the incident in which the partnership occured. Such as Dengar in The Bounty Hunter Wars. There is mention of each partner under the incident, but if you wanted to look up partners specifically, you run into a bit of a problem. It wouldn't need to be particularly in depth either. Just a list of names with the book name or incident listed. Vadamee ( Contibutions Profile ) 02:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but I am currently not in a position to help out with it. FettClone1 05:05, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Battle with Mace Windu

Okay, I have to say, I'm fairly skeptical on this, what book does this occur in? I mean, this really strains the mind how a 13 year old Mandalorian can stand up to an aged and experienced Jedi Master who was at one point head of the Jedi Order, and fight him on anything close to equal footing. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that it really strains the limits of credibility, and thus deserves at least a source. Lilinka 18:51, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

  • It occurs in one of the young Boba Series of books. Can't remember which one off the top of my head, but it's one of the last three books in the series, I think. Also, please post all new items at the bottom of the talk page. Hope this helps. — Sadriel Fett 08:59, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fett Shoulder Bell Emblems

Sorry it took so long to get these scanned and loaded on here. After I posted on the discussion board here, I got busy and forgot about them until I recently rediscovered the decals when moving stuff around. I scanned, labeled which version they are, posted it on here. I also had a question about if anyone would mind if we updated the "Fett's Chest emblem" picture to a more accurate version? The picture that is currently on there is the more commercialized version that is used on patches and pins. The actual emblem that is on Fett's armor is this one. It's slightly a different color from his armor and has more detail on the emblem. This can be seen on the chest armor of the main article picture. This version of the symbol is taken from what's on the actual Fett costume and I think would be more accurate for the article. Anyone have any problems with switching this out? — Sadriel Fett 10:19, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
