There are many reasons Fett is a great character (and why he Bad-Ass). I'll try to avoid all of the stuff from the books but they reinforce Fett and the characteristics that define him.

1). Disintegrations: In the Dark Horse Comic "Enemy of the Empire" - Baba Fett had been given the order to disintegrate his target giving him a reputation for being relentless.

2). Boba Fett wears braids made of Wookie hair as trophies of Wookies that he has bested.

3). Boba Fett outsmarts Has Solo. When Han comes up with the idea of floating away with the trash, Boba Fett sees through Han's plan and is able to track him and arrive in Bespin before they can even land the Falcon

4). Boba Fett has the balls to negotiate with a Sith Lord and still come out with a good deal - something few people can do. Then later he has the balls again to challenge Vader when he warns "he's no good to me dead"

4). Once Boba Fett has Han captured (frozen), he had to outsmart and fend off two different IG-88 droids in two separate attacks, as well as defend his bounty against the team-up of Bossk, Zuckus and 4-Lom multiple times before he could get Han to Jabba and claim his reward - some of the toughest and most ruthless mercinaries in the bounty hunter's guild. (Also, an aside from the books... Boba Fett was able to outsmart and dissolve the entire Bounty Hunter's Guild.)

5). Boba managed to get two bounty payouts for the same bounty from two of the hardest villains around. He was paid by Vader to provide Han as bait to get Skywalker and he was able to turn him over to Jabba once Vader was finished with him. Successfully!!

6). Shooting at Luke while on the Sail Barge. - It's believed that Boba missed Luke on purpose because he knew Vader wanted him alive. The reason he tried to catch him using the wrist lasso and why he jet-packed to the skiff instead of staying on the barge..

7). Why was Boba Fett hanging around Jabba's Pallace after he delivered Han?
Jabba offered Fett more credits, knowing Skywalker and the other would probably try to rescue him. Jabba was known for keeping multiple bounty Hunters and mercenaries on retainer both through blackmail and by paycheck. Having many different factions close by ensured that even if there was mutiny, there was always another faction standing by to protect him for a cash payment.

. Boba Fett has the best ship in Star Wars galaxy with best weaponry and gadgets. He also has the cash to keep it up to date functioning perfectly - because he is the best at what he does. Slave One is a modified prototype police vehicle (Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft) made by Kuat Systems Engineering, the largest ship builder in the galaxy. (I also like the B-wing fighter, it's pretty cool too.)

9). Boba Fetts custom Mandalorian Armor is just plain cool.

10). Fett had to end up in the Pit of Carkoon/Sarlac Pit". It was the only option story wise. Fett would have pursued Skywalker and the gang if he could have and then where would that leave our heroes - DEAD, that's where.

I shouldn't have to defend him but there you go - Truth be told I also like Bossk and Dengar for their own reasons as well.

I think a quote from fear and loathing in las vegas best describes joey diaz.

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

What's with the black lightsaber? It's pretty badass, actually.


[WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!]

It's a darksaber, a sort of ancient prototype lightsaber that was stolen by Mandalorians and thought lost. It reappeared in the second season of the clone wars in the possession of the Mandalorian Pre Vizsla (who appears in this trailer).

I've only watched up to the 3rd season. Some episodes were pretty cool but it's been hit or miss for me. I find the show to be at its finest when it hints at Anakin's dark side, like when he (unbeknown-st to the other Jedi) uses the Force to torture a prisoner for information in order to save the life of his Padawan.

This season looks like it's going to rock, though. I might have to go rent Season 4.

We don't see the entire test flight; they could well have raised the gear later. If they didn't raise the gear even later, it's because Boeing might have been (quite reasonably) afraid that they might not be able to get them down again (new jet, test flight, novel electronics systems, huge commercial pressures, etc etc etc). Every test flight has a specific menu list of things that are supposed to get done and each of those things gets done in sequence. You'll also notice the two chase planes that followed it to the horizon, watching for leaks, loose panels, anything that could threaten the test flight and safe return of the aircraft. And after all, it's not like the 787 has ejector seats---and, every time Boeing develops a new jetliner, it's betting the entire company's net worth. Prototypes can trash (see: Boeing B-17) So, slow and steady, nice and easy, careful as you can be.

lol I was amazed he got it to punch at all and it really reminded me more of the corny Japanese super hero poses they do(think power rangers) so I gave him a pass for that since this was a Japanese project. The Travolta line was funny though.

And if walks like a prototype, punches like a prototype, and poses like a prototype, it's cause it IS a prototype.

Not really the reaction I was going for but eh to each his own I suppose I thought it was pretty cool.
I didn't find it either funny nor terrible but I'll let the people who mod those channels decide that.
>> ^xxovercastxx:
This is the funniest thing I've seen here today.
comedy terrible


Did you not see it walk? Did you not see it strike a disco pose? It was the Travolta action that sealed the #terrible for me.

love the idea. this guy is trying to mass produce his invention (it's just this prototype at the moment) and asks for small donations. as a thank you he offers donators access to his online photo gallery (he's a photographer since 10 years). not much but i like the concept of giving something back right now even if the project itself will take months to finish.

I've heard that helium is getting quite expensive. Something about supply being limited.
Wouldn't that have to factor in to the feasibility of this being financially practical?

>> ^sillma:
What a waste of perfectly good helium.

Right. Helium is not a good choice. Should have used hydrogen because it's renewable. They can use the energy to make more from water and if it explodes no harm no foul since there are no people on board.


But a 35 foot wide burning anything crashing to the earth has got to be bothersome.

Hence the 'viral' tag. People suspect it's for the next Call of Duty.

Somebody should have payed a little attention to their use of, "...Revenge...", because as of right now I think I've seen the 'Prototype 2' commercial using the VERY same mantra--so they may wish to change the wording somehow.

It looks to be a semi promising game, but as is said above: "...gameplay..."! Until then we really don't know what we are dealing with.
