Is Boba Fett over-rated?

By Pac_Man3D, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

In RotJ, Boba Fett - who posseses weapons that attack at range - flies closer to someone wielding a lightsaber and gets knocked into the pit by a melee attack. Based on his actions shown on screen, he doesn't seem like the brightest of individuals to me.

To be fair, he flew over, entangled Luke with his grappling line, lost his balance when Luke barely deflected a shot coming from Jabba's barge into the skiff, and when he was lining up another shot on Luke, who had since jumped to another skiff, Han smacked his jet pack, activating it and sending him flying, where he then crashed down in the pit and was dragged down by the sarlacc.

Someone rolled lots of Threat and Despair at the same time someone else was rolling Triumphs and spending Destiny Points!

And in some higher dimension, a cosmic GM was tearing up three pages of character backstory and wanting to murder her players. :)

Been There, Done That. No matter how much planing you do, players always find a loophole.

Life sucks and then your Big Baddy dies.
