Sorry for the late post. A had a family matter that involved a day long trip to the hospital. Everyone is doing well now.

Better late than never.... IT'S FIGHT TIME!!!

Again, we're going to stick to canon material only, which will make this week's a real challenge!

Han Solo (YT-1300 *modified)

The smuggler with a heart of gold. Han Solo was a general of the Rebel Alliance. Before joining the Rebel forces, he was a smuggler for Jaba the Hutt and gained fame for completing the Kessel run in less than 12 parsects. Han was a part of a successful rescue mission that extracted Princess Leia from the first Death Star. Solo rescued the princess again on Hoth and evaded capture. Solo played his part as the leader of ground forces on the moon of Endor that lead to the distruction of the second Death Star.

Vs.

Boba Fett (Firespray-31 *modified)

Boba Fett was the son of the infamous Jango Fett (Genetic father of the clone army). After the rise of the Galactic Empire, Boba gained a reputation as one of the galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters. His distinctive Mandalorian armor helped keep stories about the Mandalorians alive in the galaxy after the Empire's subjugation of the planet Mandalore. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Boba worked for Jabba the Hutt. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Boba was tasked by Darth Vader to locate Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, hoping to use them to lure Luke Skywalker into a trap. The plot was successful, and Boba took Solo, who was frozen in carbonite, to Tatooine to collect the bounty that Jabba had placed on him.

This space battle never happened in the movies. Who's the better pilot?

Boba Scum or Boba Imperial?

Boba Scum or Boba Imperial?

As far as canon goes... he's BOTH! He is working for Vader and Jabba at the same time.

This is a tough one, I think Han is probably the better pilot, but I think the Slave 1 is a better ship, it has so many goodies.

Han Solo, even with Blinded Pilot.

I never understood the fascination with Boba Fett. All he did was tell Vader where Solo went after Hoth. Vader did all the real work and just gave Fett the body as payment for spy work.

Fett was no match for a Jedi or for a blinded Solo with a stick. I won't even get into him being far too scrawny and short to actually be a stormtrooper or the sillyness of the comic book where he escapes the Sarnak. Fett is in fact dead.

Most of what you're talking about is not only silly (as I agree with you) it is also not canon. In fact Shattered Empire seems to point to a very dead Bobba at the hands of the Sarlacc. So canon agrees with you!

In space, we don't get too much combat action from either of them. Fett is really good at chasing people and sneaking up behind them.

Han on the other hand is really good at one thing, and we see him do it over and over again in the Falcon... running away! Han's favorite weapon is his hyperdrive. The only time we see the Falcon stand and fight, Solo was not the pilot (RotJ)!

If the fight was between Han and Boba in a ground battle with nothing but handheld weapons, I'd put my money on Solo. Boba, as seen in canon sources, is defeated by a blinded Luke with no formal Jedi training and a blind Solo who is weak and is wielding a stick.

Seeing how this is a space battle... I'd put my money on Boba. Sooner or later, Han will not be able to run away. Boba will knock out the Falcon's hyperdrive or the rust-bucket will just not work all on its own. The Falcon is not a Jedi Starfighter and Solo is not Obi-wan Kenobi.

Sarnak?

Word of God has it that Fett did in fact escape the Sarlacc alive. The scene ended on the cutting room floor as it did nothing for the story at large though.

You're going to have to cite your canon source for this. If they filmed it but it was never released, that does not count. The current version of RotJ show only a burping Sarlacc after having enjoyed his Mandalorian meal.

In current cannon Boba is nothing but a joke. Solo all the way.

Unfortunatelly, I must say Solo. On ground I would say Boba anytime. But Han Solo is deffinatelly the better pilot. Or have you seen someone do a hyperspace jump out of the hangar? He is the better pilot.

I may be out of the loop when it comes to canon as I stopped having interest after Han shot second. I came to X Wing as I heard it was a good miniatures game with a large group of players. Also more affordable than Warhammer and its expensive armies.

My son has taken an interest in the game and the movies so it is working out great. It doesn't hurt that the new movie was much better than the prequels.

While we do see Han running away a lot (I believe C3-P0 let you know the odds there!) he also gave the jump on Vader and friends in ANH. Boba is really more of an armed spy, it would be best for him to avoid anything resembling a one on one fight with anything more than an academy tie (and we know who I would be rooting for!).

Han all the way.

There is no canon source. In canon, Boba Fett is neither alive, nor dead, last we see him is falling into the Sarlacc, where he will be digested, consiously, over a period of several millennia (according to the canon section of Wookieepedia).

Holy ****, it's all true

Solo and Fett are probably pretty equal in skill, although there isn't much in the new Canon regarding Fett's skill in space.

Han Solo, even with Blinded Pilot.

He was actually doing a pretty good job holding his own with a half trained jedi, the only reason Han *beat him* is because he either didn't see Han as a threat and ignored him, or he was concentrating to hard on Luke and didn't notice Han, who *accidentally* activated Fett's jetpack.

Terrible design for a jet pack if a whack of a stick can cause that.

That was brilliant!

This is what makes this battle so much fun. It is filled with "what ifs". We never see a strait fight on the ground or in space. Situational awareness seems to be a problem for Boba. Perhaps Solo would out fly him because of this.

Boba followed Millennium Falcon in TESB without Han finding out about this, so I wouldn't count situational awareness as Han's advantage

My bet is on Boba for the simple reason that Slave I is a ship designed with combat in mind and stuffed with useful gadgets, Han flies a freighter with two turrets which he won't even use most of the time with only one other permanent crewmember.

The activator is on the back right there.

So both have meh situational awareness.

I honestly think if it was slave 1 vs Falcon it would be the slave 1 the whole way but Han and Boba both show some really bad traits in the films. This may end up coming down to who has the most fan boys (believe it or not I'm actually a big fan of the Fett).

Han Solo.

Han Solo flew a YT-1300 through an asteroid field better than a swarm of TIE Fighters. That takes some serious skill.

Boba Fett didn't really show any flying skill in the movies; the best feat I can think of was when he showed amazing shooting accuracy for his age in the Clone Wars cartoon.

I give it to Han, assuming he has someone to man the turret; otherwise, he's kinda at a natural disadvantage because he can't do much shooting. The Slave 1 shown in Attack of the Clones is a brutal ship, but we don't really know if its numerous upgrades survived the remodeling Hondo did with it in Clone Wars.

Old EU Boba Fett is actually a really good pilot, considering he took down two IG-88s' state-of-the-art Aggressors' despite them getting the jump on him.

Why not fight it out? What should the max points be 50?
