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.

BTW, that video with Jabba is deceptive - I don't think the original human Jabba ever made it to cinemas - that scene was cut.

The Jabba scene with the human was never in any one of the film releases. But they've changed the CGI Jabba from the Special Editions twice. And none of them look like the ROTJ original muppet Jabba.


Well then the obvious answer is that they have to re-make the ROTJ jabba with CGI.

placing bets now, 2017 re-re-re-release will have CGI jabba in Jedi.

Christ both those jabbas are awful. Seriously, in this day and age you'd think that at least the second one would be passable.

It does suck. On the other hand, he made them- and I suppose he has the right to change them. I would like to own the very, very first version on Blu-ray, and be done with it.

Can't get this right either.



[edit] specifically the two CGI versions of Jabba in two separate special edition releases.

Hells yes. Bet you don't even remember that Jabba the Hutt was briefly seen in The Phantom Menace.

Watching the animatronic Jabba in ROTJ you can "feel" his weight just by watching him.

But, the march of progress...Avatar sucked, but that CG was a triumph.

>> ^Sagemind:

I'm so completely tired of CG characters. I believe that's partialy what killed the Star Wars Experience in the new films.
When I was a kid, the magic came from the behind the scenes making of sets, ships and creatures. The CGI aliens just don't have that tangent real feeling. Sure they make a great stand in and I understand certain things just can't be done in reality but use the real Creature Creation wherever possible.
Use the green screen for sets and for group or far shots but at close up, Use Real.
Imagine if all the Orcs in LOTR were CGI. Sure they used CGI but they had a hell of a lot of actual guys in makeup and costume to sell it as well. I know, Gollum was CGI, wouldn't have been my choice but they did put a lot of effort into him.
I believe with today's technology for Real effects, Creature Creation (and added CGI where needed), they could make far more convincing characters where we would identify with them emotionally as well as visually.

>> ^Payback:

If Harper is Palpatine, Ignatief is that other pod racer from Phantom Menace, and Layton is the Gammorean Guard Jabba dropped into the Rancor pit.
(The Bloq are those Bothans who died getting the fake Deathstar info to the rebels)


You just didn't say that the Bloc was were the Bothans who died in getting the fake deathstar info to the reb's did you? Well yes I see you did. I'm having trouble fitting the context, since the Bloc are xenophobic, actively anti-anglophone, and several other dozen things. Along with the belief that the rest of the country 'owes' them, and they should be able to keep getting money even if they leave.

The Donner cut was interesting but not an improvement. The new CGI was low-grade, and the Jor-El scene was akin to the Star Wars Episode IV Special Edition Jabba the Hutt.

Per the Jor-El-less Richard Lester version, you simply assumed the green crystal fixed everything.

If Harper is Palpatine, Ignatief is that other pod racer from Phantom Menace, and Layton is the Gammorean Guard Jabba dropped into the Rancor pit.

The reason why I submitted the longer clip was that I saw jabba the Hutt and scenes from the return of the Jedi in the longer clip. The shorter clip has just astronauts. The long video has stuff from the movie - that's why I have the 'Leia approves' in the title



>> ^Hybrid:

Hmm. I see your point, and it was my bad in not noticing that the times were different. I can never remember what the best call is for potential dupes like this - where the time differs, but the intention/message of the clip remains the same. What do others think? Perhaps it needs a discussion? In the meantime, I'll call notdupe
