New Boba Fett Mini: OT
What's this have to do with x-wing? lol
no dial no care.
Discuss what? It's a toy that has nothing to do with the game. End of discussion.
I don't understand what the hype about Boba Fett is.
What did we see in the OT?
1. Darth Vader pulls him aside and says "No disintergrations" AFTER saying "I want them alive". I used to work in management and when you have to specifically spell out conditions after making a black and white point .. it means you're dealing with incompetents.
2. Can he fight well? Don't know. He follows Han to Bespin .. and then tells Darth. Who does all the hard work. Does Boba Fett capture Han .. nope .. Darth does. What exactly does Boba do? The same thing Bobby Farret did in elementary when he saw Peter Duncan pull Amy Brown's hair .. he told the teacher. Bad ass.
3. Oh, but we see him fight in Jedi. That went well. He misses Luke at point blank range, shoots a rope (when apparenlty armed with an arsenal of cool stuff - oh but he wanted Luke alive .. after trying to shoot him with a blaster???) and flies into the side of a barge after being hit by a blind guy within arms reach? He couldn't defeat a blind guy at arm's reach .. the blind guy didn't even know he was there .. and Boba still lost.
4. Oh, but he somehow got out of the sarlacc and did awesome stuff. EU sirs. Darth Maul survived being cut in half and a huge fall, the emperor had a three eyed son and a suncrusher space ship can destroy a solar system and withstand a death star blast ... c'mon.
They can make all the Boba toys they want .. he's still as useless as the white crayon.

I think the real question is, when do I get to put C-3PO in a Y-Wing?
Edited by WonderWAAAGHDear OP, I for one and grateful you shared this information. I happen to be a nerd with a disposable toy budget.
Who would have thought there would be one on the X-wing Miniatures board?

You make a good point. I've apparently wasted my life. (Sound of revolver clicking) 
I clicked through, wondering idly how long it would be before I saw this new mini modded and put on the table in place of FFG's rendition of Slave I. Turns out it'll probably be a while. (c:
I'm actually a huge fan of the Black series 6" figures, I don't think it's a crime to occasionally discuss other Star Wars toys on this board.
However, the OP should have made the title a bit more clear, that this was a Star Wars Black series Boba Bett Action Figure - NOT an X-Wing addition.
Anyhow - Black Series in action:
And another!
ok that last one isn't exclusively Star Wars - but hey who doesn't like a good crossover!

I'm not sure what is worse .. the fact that a 3 year old animated it .. or that some of the actors voiced it.
Either way .. my soul just punched itself in the dyck

Edited by ConandoodleIt looks very cool!
Obviously related to Star Wars, so whiners van get bent.

This is the best Star Wars related rant I have heard in some time! Well played sir.

Agreed, some OT Star Wars is fine. I gotta pick up that flight suit Luke, I only have the Han and Boba Fett in 6". I think it's kinda cool that they scale with Marvel Legends, especially considering Hasbro makes both. Disney should just buy Hasbro next and make Nerf guns that shoot law suit subpoenas.

TL;DR: Boba Fett's terrible pilot ability, and complete lack of use in competitive tournaments, accurately reflects his uselessness in the OT.

1. This tells you he don't give a $#@. Even mighty Lord Vader knows Boba is likely to disregard him if he feels like it.
2. Look, he can't keep up with Jedi, but they have cheaty tricks. He is the Star Wars Batman to their Superman. He's a clone of Jango, who beat up Obi-Wan, so presumably he's got some skills anyways.
3. Profit!
4. You never knew anyone else that escaped a Sarlacc, did you?

(P.S. Nice rant. This post is a joke in response to your presumably faked outrage)
Edited by GiraffeandZebraI'll give you the real reason everyone loves Boba.
He's mysterious and badass looking. Keyword, looking. Now, I like the stuff he did in the EU- a lot. I subscribe to the idea that Fett is a badass, and stuff like Star Wars: 1313 (Which is still totally coming out someday, just you watch!) and the fact that Fett is going to get his own film? That all only adds to that.
Of course...
Then you have the whole Mandalorian factor. Which, while technically 100% EU before The Clone Wars series came out, is still a super badass warrior Culture that Boba Fett just so happens to be part of, and at some point, even freakin' Mandalore.
Lemme' tell you. You do not become Mandalore if you're a pushover.
What's this have to do with x-wing? lol
Maybe that's why the title of the thread has a "Offtopic" on it ?
Edited by YipikayeyBoba Fett was cool in Empire. But he has been ruined (for me) by Return of the Jedi, and Attack of the Clones. But what DIDN'T Attack of the Clones ruin? However, I am hopeful that if they make a standalone movie he could be redeemed. Can we please just forget about that clone crap? It totally ruins the whole mystery behind him! He's just an exact copy of someone else...wow, how exciting. Bravo, George.
No, we can't forget about it because you don't like it or something.
Can we all just be grown-ups for a second and just accept what happened, look on the bright side of it, and move on?
But, to give you some hope, rumor has it that clonefett is going to be offed, and the title of Boba Fett, his armor and ship, will be more of a... Mantle.
Which takes insane amount of balls to do and I support the decision entirely because it takes balls so big to do that you can't wear pants.
Mm, no. No one is less of a "grown-up" for expressing dislike of a character or aspect in a fantasy story about space adventure. And obviously we aren't going to forget about it. I was not speaking literally...
Anyways, wherever you heard that rumor I hope it's true. That's something that could be really interesting. That's a cool spin on it, especially if the origin of the character as we know it is axed. I am optimistic for the new films.
As am I. Just because it's gutsy.
