One thing I can't understand is why people seem to have this fascination with the father son Bounty Hunters, Jango and Boba Fett. These two are biggest couple of jokes I've ever seen, and are no where near as "cool" as everyone seems to think they are. Sure they had the ominous helmets, wild weaponry, and awesome armor, but that's where the cool factor ends, kids. They can do the whole "Stand around in docking bays looking imposing, but when push comes to shove, safe money is that somewhere, Fett is eatin' it. Big Time..
Let's take a look at Dad, shall we? Jango Fett is hyped up to have been "the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter". Feared by who, exactly? I mean, if he was so infamous across the galaxy, why didn't Obi-Wan Kenobi immediately know who he was? Okay, Obi-Wan was a religious nut, so maybe he wouldn't have known, but what about his pal, Dexter? Dexter seemed to have his ear....or whatever the Hell he listens with, on the pavement keeping tabs on things, so why didn't he say "Why, this dart's a Kamino Dart. Jango Fett, 'the galaxy's most feared Bounty hunter' uses these!" Why? Because Nobody ever heard of this attention whore, no matter how hard he tried. We see him kill how many people exactly? Two. That's it. Only two, and one of those is someone who was working with him, and therefore, trusted him to a degree. Wow, what a cunning hunter he is! Two lousy kills before he has his shiny armored keister handed to him by Mace Windu. Oh yeah...He also got his butt kicked by Kenobi, so how great can this guy have really been?
Then there's his son, Boba, who is just as much a hype monger as his father was. Once again carrying around the tag of "Galaxy's most feared bounty hunter", and we never even see this fraud in action, unless you count the two or three blind shots he took at Skywalker on Bespin. At least his father seems to have a handle on the whole jet-pack thing, because the one time we see Fett use it, he zips around like an Isuzu with a JATO unit strapped to it. Let's not forget how this "greatest tracker of all creatures great and small" met his end. He got his butt kicked by a BLIND MAN WITH A STICK. After that, he fell into the galaxy's biggest rectum. Not the most dignified way to go, kids, and certainly not the way a Bounty Hunter with the Fetts' reputation should go. Rumor is, that Boba survived and climbed out, but honestly, if I was in Boba's armored boots, I would blow out my own brains out from sheer embarrassment. Let's just hope he had the dignity to do it.
I do have to give Boba credit for one thing though. He was mackin' on Jabba's dancing girls, looking to get some sweet, sweet alien lovin', and THAT, my friends, is always cool.
