I'd be interested to find out which character made him more money, Luke Skywalker, The Joker, or Kenneth W. Dantley Jr...

And now, young Skywalker: you will die.

Lol, yes! Now that you mention, I do know that! I have just really, really wanted to Luke Skywalker one for forever, and got overexcited when I saw this vid!

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.

He's a little old for a Skywalker...perhaps more of an Obiwan? Wait, am I criticizing people on Star Trek lore, time to go masturbate alone.

I always love how Luke Skywalker brings The Joker to life.

First of all, I also named my son Luke (after Luke skywalker), and then brought him up as a sci-fi, comic book, fantasy kid but from what I'm seeing, it may have backfired on me as Anime is slowly creeping in from his friends. It's like I have no control any more.
He's now ten, and although he still likes all the fanboy stuff I introduced him to, he's now expanding into stuff I know nothing about. First Bakugan, then Yu-Gi-oh, Pokemon and now something else that I don't know anything about(un-named because I don't know the name.
I think I've created a monster
>> ^lucky760:
I never saw any of these until I was a grown ass man, so I don't have any fond childhood memories of them, but I'm quite eager, if I'm being honest, to let my boy watch them when he's old enough. I'm planning on manipulating him into a sci-fi, comic book geek as he grows up.
(I just hope he doesn't find this comment when he's older and discover what I've done to him.)
P.S. The kid's dad must really be a Star Wars geek to have named is son Luke.



Sounds to me like it's time for you to start learning from him. That's the only way to level the playing field.

I've never watched much anime, but I've been trying to get into it recently in preparation for my son's future geekdom.

For 22 minutes of even more jaw-dropping awesomeness - skydiving, speedriding, BASE jumping and windtunnel - here's the full Skywalkers 'This is the shit' video: http://vimeo.com/18098824

I so want to shock-power Luke Skywalker until he jumps off that edge.
