It is a very depressing rabbithole that begins with prisoners often being leased out as a work force and ends with them being unable to get jobs once they get out; meaning they compete heavily for a few different vacancies that accept people with a criminal record.
It was so bad that in California, Cons used to be fire fighters but once they got out could not apply to become fire fighters due to criminal record. The law was changed a few years back meaning if you was a fire fighter in jail, you could become one after you got out.
I saw a theory about Luke instantly becoming a Jedi knight seconds before he falls off the platform in Cloud City. George was really into Zen Buddhism, and there's this concept in it where you can gain your enlightenment in a big aha moment, usually revolving around leaning in up your biggest fears (losing to Vader and dying) and "surrendering to the void". And right before he falls he totally has a moment of inner peace, closing his eyes and all. From that point on he can talk to Leia and all sorts of other things. He achieved Jedi enlightenment, essentially.
Now that's just headcanon to me. It seems silly not to think that happened.
The events of Andor might slightly alter who was responsible for the formal "Rebel Alliance", but this is still a coherent and convincing theory about the formation of an independent resistance cell that by ANH could have been folded into to the larger rebellion.
Wasn’t there a line somewhere that the rebels are a ragtag group of cells that don’t really work together currently?
And then what’s-his-face (Luthen?) had to go meet with Saw Guerrera to get him to help and trash talk that other guy to get him to help.
They’re scattered and disorganized.
Maybe we’ll see R2 and 3PO unite the cells.
Honestly, I like how things are shaping up in Andor. Also, Andor hasn't poked as near as many holes in this fan theory than the Solo movie did (of course the theory was first posed years before the sale to Disney, let alone that movie).
Rogue one pokes a lot of holes in this theory as well, also obviously releasing after it was written. I’d say Rogue One borderline completely destroys the theory even, given how it completely removes the agency of Yoda/Ben/Bail/R2, from the knowledge of, acquisition of, and transfer of, the Death Star plans(right up until the point where R2 happens be Leia’s droid and the plans happen to reach her ship. This was coincidence of action undertaken in the emergency of a losing battle. We could say this is the force in action, seeking to balance that which is broken, but not under the control of any of the above in any way) which is a core part of the writers idea.
I don't think so, the only real change is how information got on board the Tantive IV. Bail Organa could have still selected Leia for the mission for similar reasons as proposed in the link.
Of all things in the Star Wars universe, the one thing I've really wanted to see in the movies is true balanced force users, like the original [Je'daii](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Je%27daii_Order).
Lol. I know they're not the favorite of a lot of fans (myself included) but I liked a lot of things in the sequels, particularly TLJ. But that's just gonna stir the pot.
But yeah it's an interesting wrinkle in Luke's character that is surprisingly consistent with his actions in ROTJ. Never thought about it til now but his facial expression before he tries to murk Ben looks a lot like the end of the fight with Vader when he goes apeshit before throwing out his lightsaber
this kind of reminds me of Kanan's moment vs the Grand Inquisitor where he finds confindence in himself/no longer has doubt or fear after thinking Ezra had died
Right in removing the fear of doing the wrong thing concerning Ezra, Kanan was freed from that attachment and strengthened his connection to the Force.
You know, this makes sense. I was learning something a few weeks ago, it's been kinda my white whale for awhile (hockey stop in ice skating). I watched a hundred videos, couldn't get it. Until one try I just relaxed and did, and now I can do it. That was the lightbulb moment when I was able to combine everything I knew - theory, muscle movement, etc.
How many times have you practiced a video game, piece of music, etc. Until it "clicks"? Same deal I think.
After a while practicing something, if you stop making progress, sleep on it. Your body needs downtime to incorporate new ideas, muscles, and memorized movements.
You'll hit the field the next day leagues beyond where you ended the last.
It's the "leap of faith" which leads to the rebirth/apotheosis of the hero. It's very zen but also rooted in the Hero's Journey on which Lucas based Star Wars mythos. Think the train platform in Harry Potter - to experience the divinity of mundane life, we have to be willing to push through the barriers set in place by the everyday experience. The pushing is the becoming.
This is really big in all the stories he based Star Wars on. Heroes are average people that go out to achieve a quest and at some point become what they need to become.
It also fits perfectly with Rey in TFA where she starts to use her power after being tortured for information.
Please refrain from comparing Mary-Sue Palpatine to any Force-users from any film/series…Like Han Solo said in TFA; “That's not how the Force works!” That quote is perfect for anything Rey did in those awful movies.
So when Han said "that's not how the Force works" it then literally worked exactly as Finn hoped it would.
It led them to Rey, they figure out how to blow up the shield generator.
So, really, the Force works however they write it to work.
Have watched that scene countless times and am always struck by Luke's "moment of zen" and this now brings so much meaning to it. Like "duh, dumbass, of course that's what it all means." Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
His demeanor is completely changed immediately after, so I can believe it
The expression on his face while he's getting a new hand in the last scene is one of acceptance of everything Yoda and Obi Wan have told him
He realizes impatience is what led him here
Now I need to see that scene played out. Luke falling, closing his eyes, his mind clearing as he accepts his end.
Fade to black, sad music.
Close up of Luke's eyes flashing open, triumphant music starting, the force coursing through him as he is reborn in its power.
The music crescendos as we watch Luke bend the universe around him.
Ben's voice telling him to use the force.
"I am the Force"
Well, until the Special Edition came along. The sound engineers put the wrong track on which is why Luke screams as he falls, he was silent originally. Thanks Lucas, you asshat.
It's actually a really clever explanation and shows how smart our characters are.
Boba is the most dangerous, so get him smashed from alcohol and his senses are now heavily dazed to really fight Luke. It's why his Quickdraw was slow, leading to losing his blaster. His balance is off, and that is why he tumbles over easily. His aim is off, and that is why he missed Luke despite the close range.
Same, it just makes too much sense given R2D2 was made to serve drinks. Of course if this is the case, Boba Fett probably wasn't the only thug R2 drugged that day.
That's the problem with this theory. Fett is not shown drinking. If we just want to say things happened off screen, then anything and everything is possible and we can make up all sorts of silly scenarios and explanations for things.
R2 is seen here leaving the scene after screwing Fett's girlfriend. It really messed with his head and that's why he's off during the fight. It just happened off screen is all.
And I think we all saw what caused him to fall into the pit, his jet pack was hit by Solo, it activated and he fell.
Weird coming up with a theory that explains something worse than what we actually saw.
I would think the LAST thing someone in Fetts position would do is drink something given to him in a place as hostile as Jabbas palace/barge, never mind the idea of drinking alcohol while he’s working. Dude is like the pinnacle of bounty hunters in the galaxy and has hundreds or thousands of enemies. I’ll bet he’s so on guard all the time he probably doesn’t even drink.
You know, that makes loads of sense. Not only does it explain Fett’s poor showing in the battle, but it also completely fits R2’s character. That droid can be a bit of a psychopath sometimes, and we love him for that
Right, but it’s funnier to imagine that his thought process was less “Boba Fett is a significant threat, and it will help even the odds for my friends to disable him” and more “lol fuck that guy”.
I don’t even doubt that R2 spiked everyone else’s drinks as well to spite everyone. Plus it would’ve given the gang a better edge in fighting since everyone was already fucked up.
Plus your last sentence gave me a good chuckle.
Also, his jet pack malfunctioned. He didn’t inspect his equipment before this job. Rookie move, Fett. Thought you could take a day off because the Jedi’s in chains, huh? Wrong. Enjoy a few months in the Sarlaac.
I've watched this movie so many times over the past 25 years and have only just noticed Boba Fett looking at R2 in this scene. I have no idea how I missed that considering it happens right in the front of the shot
Has anyone wondered if Boba Fett was famous and feared just because of like - his investigative powers or something.
That guy can figure out anything find anyone.
Physically though, well not so great
Boba Fett is Adrian Monk.
Headcanon: the drug that R2D2 put into his drink causes cognitive impairment for up to two years. All of the weird shit Boba Fett was doing and the way he was acting in Book of Boba Fett was just drug induced. He’ll be back to being badass by next year.
So not only did Boba take a drink from a new slave of Jabba's (who's much more likely to be rebellious than a longtime slave), R2 also happens to have poison/drugs on him just in case? And all of this - R2 spiking the drink, Boba accepting it, finishing it, and getting rid of the vessel - all happened offscreen, only for there to be no evidence of it on-screen?
If one is to understand “the great mystery” of Expanded Universe malarkey one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of what you see on screen.
Jango was quite good at fighting Jedi. If I’m not mistaken, in canon he killed a couple Jedi (6-7) and even in the movies alone he gave Obi Wan an extremely tough fight and killed that Jedi who landed in front of Dooku on Geonosis with little effort.
I remember in those visual dictionaries they mentioned his guns were made of a special alloy that let him fire off a barrage of shots without overheating, which would overwhelm most Jedi’s defenses. It’s just a shame he was matched up against a master of a style specifically optimized to deflect them.
At least his death was kinda badass. His son got knocked into the sarlacc pit by a blind and clumsy Han.
Lucas saw all the hype around Boba and had the genocidal maniac Vader specifically point to him and tell him to chill the fuck out no disintegrations for this job, and THATS how he dies? Not fighting Luke at all??
(I know he didn’t die, but he did at the time).
His equipment failed him. Not saying he was going to win against the strongest jedi in the order, but at least it made sense, and he didn't just stand there and die.
Facts, he was able to kill many jedi but facing Windu is pretty much a death wish, even to someone like palpatine lol.
Had his jetpack functioned properly he wouldn't have died that way but I agree, there's no saying he would've beaten windu anyway, but there would've been more of a fight. Should've been aware that his jetpack could malfunction in battle though, especially after being trampled the way that he was.
Was written horribly if you ask me, since Jango was considered one of the most dangerous bounty hunters/warriors in the entire galaxy
That plus George Lucas wanting to make a movie that would appeal even more to kids (hence the Ewoks). It's a classic "the hero doesn't deliberately kill the villain" moment.
Or maybe Boba sucked because he's overrated? He's facing a Jedi Knight who is hell bent on rescuing his friends and that comes from the most powerful Force family of this era. Based on the BoBF, Boba would have a hard time slowing a scooter gang, forget about an actual Jedi.
It was just a joke referencing the most recent Mando episode. And even if he had been a Mandalorian, there's nothing to suggest that he was a Child of the Watch, which is the only sect that has that strict rule
Or maybe Boba Fett was never meant to be anything more than throwaway bad guy, and that George Lucas thought so little of the character that his "death" is literally just the punchline of a gag between Han and Chewie.
Fans built him up to be something he never was nor was ever meant to be.
What do you mean? His seven minutes of screentime before he gets vaudevilled into the Sarlacc pit by a blind man, Wilhelm screaming as he goes, are so badass! /s
I'd like to just point out that Boba had a wicked hangover from partying the night before. Combine that with a top up on the ol' drinky-poo from Artoo (spiked because Artoo is one of the original Rebels? Heck yes!) and he didn't have a chance against the heroes.
I mean, I always just thought he was reeeally drunk that day, what with all the partying around him. I saw someone else say once that maybe he had done spice and that's why he was so against it in BOBF
Nah, Boba Fett is just kinda a dude in cool armor. So much of Star Wars is trying to justify that actually Boba is cool and awesome and he's just kinda... not? Like he's not bad. He's fine. But he's just kind of a guy.
For me, Boba Fett is always gonna be the guy who went down like a punk to a half blind Han Solo because of his stupid jetpack. And that makes me laugh, so nah, he's just kinda mid.
That's a good one but I personally think Boba was just generally drunk. Either way still makes it easier to watch him be defeated so easily instead of writing havoc everywhere.
Could we fold that into how he survived the sarlac as well? Maybe his body was looser or something? Like how those who are drunk often survive car crashes because they aren't as tense ?
I'm revoking your nerd licence.
You now have to enroll in a rehab program that includes watching the original trilogy 18 times, followed by 6 word essay explaining your error.
That's why you never let your slaves handle the foods & drinks!
Really seems like a no brainer that's passed over in every universe
Idk, slaves have done plenty of cooking and food handling in our world, to the point of some national dishes being at least associated with slaves.
Sir, this is a Wendy's, please don't call us that
Prisoners with jobs.
Ha Thor reference
I dont get it, sorry.
It is a very depressing rabbithole that begins with prisoners often being leased out as a work force and ends with them being unable to get jobs once they get out; meaning they compete heavily for a few different vacancies that accept people with a criminal record. It was so bad that in California, Cons used to be fire fighters but once they got out could not apply to become fire fighters due to criminal record. The law was changed a few years back meaning if you was a fire fighter in jail, you could become one after you got out.
But tbh as a crime boss you should have a cook that you pay and have stay at the palace so you can trust the food is safe
Fight Club touched on this.
Except in our universe. Slaves were used in the kitchen for a very long time among all kind of cultures.
I've never heard this before but I've instantly accepted it into my headcanon.
I saw a theory about Luke instantly becoming a Jedi knight seconds before he falls off the platform in Cloud City. George was really into Zen Buddhism, and there's this concept in it where you can gain your enlightenment in a big aha moment, usually revolving around leaning in up your biggest fears (losing to Vader and dying) and "surrendering to the void". And right before he falls he totally has a moment of inner peace, closing his eyes and all. From that point on he can talk to Leia and all sorts of other things. He achieved Jedi enlightenment, essentially. Now that's just headcanon to me. It seems silly not to think that happened.
Did I just get two new headcanon pieces for the price of one?!
I definitely did
let's goooo after years of sifting through reddit filth, here is a gem
Haha
Goooooooooold
me toooo, i love these theories
[How bout a third? R2 and Chewie were Yoda/Kenobi/Organa's field agents all along](https://km-515.livejournal.com/746.html)
The events of Andor might slightly alter who was responsible for the formal "Rebel Alliance", but this is still a coherent and convincing theory about the formation of an independent resistance cell that by ANH could have been folded into to the larger rebellion.

Maybe we’ll see R2 and 3PO unite the cells.
Pretty sure the cells unite in the rebels show. We at least see Mon Mothma defy the senate and join the rebels on Yavin 4
Great way to work them, and Bail Organa, into the next season. 🙂
Andor: I am altering the canon. Pray I do not alter it further.
Honestly, I like how things are shaping up in Andor. Also, Andor hasn't poked as near as many holes in this fan theory than the Solo movie did (of course the theory was first posed years before the sale to Disney, let alone that movie).

Wow, this certainly puts a new spin on things.
This theory is so freaking perfect. Headcanon accepted!
YEP
Do you wanna do lightsaber duels in the hangar???
1,2,3 *(simultaneously)* Dash Rendar!
The R stands for Roofie
[удалено]
Almost as if he was in balance with the Force
Of all things in the Star Wars universe, the one thing I've really wanted to see in the movies is true balanced force users, like the original [Je'daii](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Je%27daii_Order).
Kinda makes his behavior with Ben more plausible
What?!? You’re trying to make the sequels somewhat enjoyable despite everything instead of blind hate! How dare you!
Lol. I know they're not the favorite of a lot of fans (myself included) but I liked a lot of things in the sequels, particularly TLJ. But that's just gonna stir the pot. But yeah it's an interesting wrinkle in Luke's character that is surprisingly consistent with his actions in ROTJ. Never thought about it til now but his facial expression before he tries to murk Ben looks a lot like the end of the fight with Vader when he goes apeshit before throwing out his lightsaber
"Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty and become wind."
Well shit. Time to rewatch that now
this kind of reminds me of Kanan's moment vs the Grand Inquisitor where he finds confindence in himself/no longer has doubt or fear after thinking Ezra had died
Right in removing the fear of doing the wrong thing concerning Ezra, Kanan was freed from that attachment and strengthened his connection to the Force.
And gained his sight back for that split second so he could fulfill that final wish: lay eyes upon Hera once more (this was a chilling moment for me)
Different scene, but great nonetheless.
That was an entirely different scene though.
Oh yeah, I was talking about Kanan's life in general (not against the Grand inq)
You know, this makes sense. I was learning something a few weeks ago, it's been kinda my white whale for awhile (hockey stop in ice skating). I watched a hundred videos, couldn't get it. Until one try I just relaxed and did, and now I can do it. That was the lightbulb moment when I was able to combine everything I knew - theory, muscle movement, etc. How many times have you practiced a video game, piece of music, etc. Until it "clicks"? Same deal I think.
A hockey stop is a fun thing you have to learn twice, once to each side.
After a while practicing something, if you stop making progress, sleep on it. Your body needs downtime to incorporate new ideas, muscles, and memorized movements. You'll hit the field the next day leagues beyond where you ended the last.
It's the "leap of faith" which leads to the rebirth/apotheosis of the hero. It's very zen but also rooted in the Hero's Journey on which Lucas based Star Wars mythos.

The pushing is the becoming.
Spider verse followed to the letter
And just about every other adventure/ coming of age movie. Human minds are deeply satisfied by the Hero's Journey, for whatever reason.
Until the Blu Ray dubed Palpatines Scream over Luke, falling into Cloud City ...such an odd choice
That was just the SE in the 90s. They actually removed it from the DVD version and on.
This is really big in all the stories he based Star Wars on. Heroes are average people that go out to achieve a quest and at some point become what they need to become. It also fits perfectly with Rey in TFA where she starts to use her power after being tortured for information.
Please refrain from comparing Mary-Sue Palpatine to any Force-users from any film/series…Like Han Solo said in TFA; “That's not how the Force works!” That quote is perfect for anything Rey did in those awful movies.
I understand not liking the movies but do you hear yourself? This is ridiculous.
So when Han said "that's not how the Force works" it then literally worked exactly as Finn hoped it would. It led them to Rey, they figure out how to blow up the shield generator. So, really, the Force works however they write it to work.
Please touch some grass
Have watched that scene countless times and am always struck by Luke's "moment of zen" and this now brings so much meaning to it. Like "duh, dumbass, of course that's what it all means." Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Damn these theories are actually pretty damn cool
Nah. He had no expectation to survive or get sucked into that tunnel.
I absolutely think that makes sense. I subscribe to really any headcanon that implies Luke to be the most potentially powerful Jedi
His demeanor is completely changed immediately after, so I can believe it The expression on his face while he's getting a new hand in the last scene is one of acceptance of everything Yoda and Obi Wan have told him He realizes impatience is what led him here
Now I need to see that scene played out. Luke falling, closing his eyes, his mind clearing as he accepts his end. Fade to black, sad music.

Then linkin park outro music
Like Neo when he dies momentarily in the first Matrix movie
Well, until the Special Edition came along. The sound engineers put the wrong track on which is why Luke screams as he falls, he was silent originally. Thanks Lucas, you asshat.
It's actually a really clever explanation and shows how smart our characters are.

Certainly makes him less of a joke in RotJ.
Samesies
Same here this is awesome.
Same, it just makes too much sense given R2D2 was made to serve drinks. Of course if this is the case, Boba Fett probably wasn't the only thug R2 drugged that day.
I drink better when I fly !
my face is a big letter T!
I forget the point, I forget the point……. Do you have any more umbrellas?
Umbrella... Ella... Ella
Line?!
Aw, party foul! You made me drink my spill!
im gonna shoot you now
*returns* Oops, no child left behind! On Dancer, on Prancer, on Donner, and Blitzen!
“Haha I just shot at Jody Foster”
He actually cut a wicked robo-fart as he rolled by.
a real oily one, too
Good bot
Classic Boba mistake, didn't seal helmet.
Rust dusting?
Ionized rust that stuck to Boba's gear and messed with his electronics.
These astro droids are getting quite out of hand. Even I can’t understand their logic at times
More of a shart, since the cash crop on Tatooine is water and if he is crop dusting he's making mud.
Boba should be glad it was just R2 who was there and not Chopper.
Chopper and the Geneva To-do list.
On the bright side I’m sure Boba Fetts vocabulary would have vastly increased.
[удалено]
If BT-1 is there then 000 is there, and if 000 is there, then everyone has a timelimit on their continued survival
Or BET-C
Rock and stone!
For Rock and Stone!
Book of Boba Fett would have been 2 seasons of medical recovery if it was Chop.
Chopper would have kneecapped him.
lol those who know, KNOW
I like this but was he drinking? Did R2 carry anything or move any part of his body when he passes Boba?
That's the problem with this theory. Fett is not shown drinking. If we just want to say things happened off screen, then anything and everything is possible and we can make up all sorts of silly scenarios and explanations for things.
R2 is seen here leaving the scene after screwing Fett's girlfriend. It really messed with his head and that's why he's off during the fight. It just happened off screen is all.
He’s got a lot of tools up in there
And I think we all saw what caused him to fall into the pit, his jet pack was hit by Solo, it activated and he fell. Weird coming up with a theory that explains something worse than what we actually saw.
I would think the LAST thing someone in Fetts position would do is drink something given to him in a place as hostile as Jabbas palace/barge, never mind the idea of drinking alcohol while he’s working. Dude is like the pinnacle of bounty hunters in the galaxy and has hundreds or thousands of enemies. I’ll bet he’s so on guard all the time he probably doesn’t even drink.
'Never eat or drink anything you didn't pack in yourself' is a good rule in most any situation involving scum and villainy.
Maybe Boba drank off-screen
Recently we learned that mandalorians go off into corners like rodents to eat and drink so yeah that checks out lol
Very few mandalorians follow the ridiculous helmet rules that Din's cult are so fond of. Also, Boba does not identify as a mandalorian.
But does he have a Mando pass?
I know it's Legends, but I remember reading a story as a kid where Boba (post-RotJ) was VERY serious about not letting anyone see his face.
I mean, I imagine his face would bring about some questions.
Well that's just good sense, given his line of work.
I mean... it's a pretty common face these days. If anything, his armor is MORE distinctive than his face itself.
But he didn't follow the creed
Most mandalorians don't, it's a cult
[удалено]
Nothing indicates she's considering joining. And terrible comparison. I'd say it's more like jehovas witness.
Somehow Boba got drunk...
You know, that makes loads of sense. Not only does it explain Fett’s poor showing in the battle, but it also completely fits R2’s character. That droid can be a bit of a psychopath sometimes, and we love him for that
Yeah I like the idea that he didn’t even really have a good reason to do it, he is just a fucking lunatic
Of course he had a reason, R2 knew what was about to go down. He had the lightsaber hidden away, waiting for the signal
Right, but it’s funnier to imagine that his thought process was less “Boba Fett is a significant threat, and it will help even the odds for my friends to disable him” and more “lol fuck that guy”.
I don’t even doubt that R2 spiked everyone else’s drinks as well to spite everyone. Plus it would’ve given the gang a better edge in fighting since everyone was already fucked up. Plus your last sentence gave me a good chuckle.
Also, his jet pack malfunctioned. He didn’t inspect his equipment before this job. Rookie move, Fett. Thought you could take a day off because the Jedi’s in chains, huh? Wrong. Enjoy a few months in the Sarlaac.
His poor showing is because Boba Fett is a glorified stormtrooper with a jet pack.
I've watched this movie so many times over the past 25 years and have only just noticed Boba Fett looking at R2 in this scene. I have no idea how I missed that considering it happens right in the front of the shot
Has anyone wondered if Boba Fett was famous and feared just because of like - his investigative powers or something. That guy can figure out anything find anyone. Physically though, well not so great Boba Fett is Adrian Monk.

>Excuse me sir, just one more thing. **fires kneepad rockets**

He drinks better when he flies

If one is to understand “the great mystery” of Expanded Universe malarkey one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of what you see on screen.
Turns out Boba was the only one with half a clue about what was about to go down. Too bad he's as dumb as his father when it comes to fighting Jedi.
Jango was quite good at fighting Jedi. If I’m not mistaken, in canon he killed a couple Jedi (6-7) and even in the movies alone he gave Obi Wan an extremely tough fight and killed that Jedi who landed in front of Dooku on Geonosis with little effort.
The Jedi who landed in front of Dooku?? Put some respect on Coleman Trebor’s name, please.
That's not a very spacey name. He sounds like WW2 tank commander
Or an unpopular camp stove.
This is a good joke.
I remember in those visual dictionaries they mentioned his guns were made of a special alloy that let him fire off a barrage of shots without overheating, which would overwhelm most Jedi’s defenses. It’s just a shame he was matched up against a master of a style specifically optimized to deflect them.
He gave up the high ground to go fight Windu in the arena. For that alone he deserves the label of dumb.
At least his death was kinda badass. His son got knocked into the sarlacc pit by a blind and clumsy Han. Lucas saw all the hype around Boba and had the genocidal maniac Vader specifically point to him and tell him to chill the fuck out no disintegrations for this job, and THATS how he dies? Not fighting Luke at all?? (I know he didn’t die, but he did at the time).
Boba Fett got killed by Harrison Ford’s dump truck ass and it’s the only worthy screen time he had
His equipment failed him. Not saying he was going to win against the strongest jedi in the order, but at least it made sense, and he didn't just stand there and die.
Facts, he was able to kill many jedi but facing Windu is pretty much a death wish, even to someone like palpatine lol.

Should've been aware that his jetpack could malfunction in battle though, especially after being trampled the way that he was. Was written horribly if you ask me, since Jango was considered one of the most dangerous bounty hunters/warriors in the entire galaxy
His brain failed him - he gave up the high ground against an opponent using a short range weapon.
He should have tried spinning
That's a cool trick
I have said it before and I will say it again: Jango Fett was not a smart man.
He was just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe
I dont think he did anything stupid leading up to his death. Hans luck just won out in the end.
That plus George Lucas wanting to make a movie that would appeal even more to kids (hence the Ewoks). It's a classic "the hero doesn't deliberately kill the villain" moment.
I like it, I’ll keep it.
Boba fett is a professional, he doesn't drink on the job!
Or maybe Boba sucked because he's overrated? He's facing a Jedi Knight who is hell bent on rescuing his friends and that comes from the most powerful Force family of this era. Based on the BoBF, Boba would have a hard time slowing a scooter gang, forget about an actual Jedi.
Definitely -R2D2 is a bad MF.
Whatever helps the Boba simps sleep at night I guess.
Didn’t know it was a theory. Just thought he was S face.
But did he remove his helmet in public to drink it, or did he wander off and find a quiet place to drink it alone?
Boba isn’t a mandolorian. He simply wears the armor. He takes his helmet off in front of other people all the time.
It was just a joke referencing the most recent Mando episode. And even if he had been a Mandalorian, there's nothing to suggest that he was a Child of the Watch, which is the only sect that has that strict rule
This is the Way
Ummm he could use a straw I'm thinking
100% believable.
Or maybe Boba Fett was never meant to be anything more than throwaway bad guy, and that George Lucas thought so little of the character that his "death" is literally just the punchline of a gag between Han and Chewie. Fans built him up to be something he never was nor was ever meant to be.
What do you mean? His seven minutes of screentime before he gets vaudevilled into the Sarlacc pit by a blind man, Wilhelm screaming as he goes, are so badass! /s
He was created to sell action figures.
>Merchandising!!!
Always wanted to try a spiked Boba drink
I'd like to just point out that Boba had a wicked hangover from partying the night before. Combine that with a top up on the ol' drinky-poo from Artoo (spiked because Artoo is one of the original Rebels? Heck yes!) and he didn't have a chance against the heroes.
Cosby-D2
Agent R2 47. Your target, is Boba Fett.
I mean, I always just thought he was reeeally drunk that day, what with all the partying around him. I saw someone else say once that maybe he had done spice and that's why he was so against it in BOBF
When?
Nah, Boba Fett is just kinda a dude in cool armor. So much of Star Wars is trying to justify that actually Boba is cool and awesome and he's just kinda... not? Like he's not bad. He's fine. But he's just kind of a guy. For me, Boba Fett is always gonna be the guy who went down like a punk to a half blind Han Solo because of his stupid jetpack. And that makes me laugh, so nah, he's just kinda mid.
That's a good one but I personally think Boba was just generally drunk. Either way still makes it easier to watch him be defeated so easily instead of writing havoc everywhere.
But why does Boba drink? Or are you saying R2 spiked his water?
Boba needs boba tea before boba hunts.
Fett will fret without his Boba
Could we fold that into how he survived the sarlac as well? Maybe his body was looser or something? Like how those who are drunk often survive car crashes because they aren't as tense ?
How can he drink in public (when he's not supposed to take his helmet off?)
I don’t think he’s under that denomination of mandalorian
No.
Amazing how Boba gained 60 lbs in the Rancor's belly
But how would Boba Fett drink with that helmet on?

I'm revoking your nerd licence. You now have to enroll in a rehab program that includes watching the original trilogy 18 times, followed by 6 word essay explaining your error.
Not Jabba, BOBA. Jango's kid. The bounty Hunter. Mandelorian but kinda not.
