I'm a Boba Fett fan, He is my favourite character from any film.. EVER, (don't let my Avatar fool you) and he has been since I first saw ESB way back when.



O.k. It's somewhere between 1986 and 1989 and I'm between 5 and 8 years old. (I can't remember exacty, I didn't take notes, didn't think I'd need to.)

Just after seeing ESB, All I knew was Boba was this dark, mysterious character who looked really cool and actually captured the 'hero' from ANH that managed to shoot down the mighty Darth Vader to let his mate blow up the Death Star and save the Rebellion.. 'WOW, this guy must be something special'

But what hooked me in? I didn't know who he was, I didn't know what he looked like, where he came from, how old he was, whether he was a 'he'. I knew next to nothing about this Bounty Hunter.

That's it.. the mystery!, the Enigma! My imagination could run riot, he was whatever I wanted him to be.

Now, Fast Forward about 20ish years to 2006

Almost everything that I didn't know has been explained to me through Films, Books, Magazines and the Internet.

Now I know that he is a clone of a great Mandalorian warrior and Bounty Hunter, he was 'born' on Kamino, he is a very intelligent and cunning warrior and ruthless bounty hunter but compassionate when not on the hunt.. like when he saved children from a burning school. plus so much more (but i'm not going into all that now.)

Nearly all of the reasons that I liked Boba Fett all those years ago have evaporated with every book or film that I've seen and have been replaced with a new appreciation that keeps Boba Fett at the top of my all time list of favourite characters.

So how can a character who has changed so much in my opinion remain so fervently at the top of my list?
