Why You Look Great In A Boba Fett Costume

When the 'fourth' Star Wars first came out all those years back, closely followed by the remainder of the trilogy, it was the most well liked role-playing game at break time in the faculty yard. The majority of the guys needed to be Han Solo ( for some reason more well-liked then light-saber using Luke Skywalker ). The more noxious ones selected to be asthma-inducing dark lord Darth Vader, but the lone wolves, the characters, selected the confusing silent bounty hunter, Boba Fett. With a Boba Fett costume made out of paper and a brush handle for a rocket pack, oh life was easier then.

Boba first ( traditionally at least ) lifted our hearts in the Empire Strikes Back.

It was when the Millenium Falcon was being pursued by the Imperial Fleet, and the good fellows had the bright idea of hiding behind the command tower of the fleet ship and running away with the rubbish. Vader realizes that his imperial infantryman's mindset is a bit stunted by all of the rules they need to follow and hires some bounty hunters as they may be able to think outside the box. One of the brighter hunters is Boba Fett.

Later the goodies are caught, and Fett gets Han Solo after he's been placed into carbon freeze in Lando's mining town in the clouds. We find out that Fett works for the intergalactic gangster Jabba the Hutt, who doesn't like being owed cash. Fett does the decent thing by bringing back the frozen Solo to be used to cover up a nasty stain on the wall that Hutt was hiding from the people next door. Later, Solo's mates mount a daring escape, and we are saying au revoir to Fett as he plunges into the open jaws of a Sarlacc out in the desert. The prequels later explain that Boba is Jango Fett's boy. Jango Fett was employed as a model for a Kiwi clone armed forces.

We see later why young Boba doesn't fully love Jedi as they cause his dad's head and body to part ways. Boba Fett was born in George Lucas' mind as the first idea for Darth Vader. Vader then became less a bounty hunter and more Imperial Dark Lord sidekick.

However the personality was considered still malign and suave, and was given a smaller role. One of the finest things about the Boba Fett costume is the armor. George Lucas pioneered the idea of 'aging' hi-tech technology, and this comes of very well with Boba. His armor looks cobbled together from a spread of sources, and is scarred from countless scrapes. Boba's favourite weapon is the trusty blaster, but his functional suit contains a limitless supply of secondary weapons and resources , for example grappling gear, rocket pack, application belt, and armored spikes.

Boba Fett has an intensely wide fan base ( Fettishists ) on the web. One of the top sites has over one thousand unique visits per day coming to learn and share their love of one of the hottest bad men on the web. Beat that, Darth!
