Age
Where did the half come from? I thought he was just born in 32 bby, not 31.5? --Darthsith19 23:07, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * He was "born" in between 32 BBY and 31 BBY. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:08, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not stupid. I know 31.5 means between 31 and 32. What I wanted to know is where that information came from.--Darthsith19 23:40, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Leland Chee. It's fairly commonsense though - after all, there has to be several months for Dooku to defect, Jango to win the bounty comp, and the cloning to begin before Boba can be born. QuentinGeorge 23:47, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Fett's battle harness
I ran across this posted here and I'm guessing it is based off of the Deluxe action figure.

I don't have the issue at hand but how should we go about incorporating this into the article. Does the SW Insider artwork make this canon? With just the action figure I would say "no" but the artwork backs it up.

Does anyone have this issue so we can get some more information on this? --DannyBoy7783 06:39, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It's more than just artwork; that harness, the Wing blast rocket pack, was described in the History of the Mandalorians article. jSarek 06:59, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Is there any information on it in the article? I used to have that issue but I can't seem to find it. I'd be happy to do an article up for it and include it in Fett's page as well.--DannyBoy7783 07:06, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have info on this from the Star Wars Insider?--DannyBoy7783 04:19, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Move gear section
I propose we move the gear section of this article to Boba Fett's armor. --Imp 15:19, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * A move wouldn't be out of the question though not all of this stuff is his armor so that link wouldn't fit. Unless there is an established precedent of doing so. I know Vader has an armor page but that's pretty much just about his armor. Fett's stuff here includes weapons, non weapon gear items, clothing and his armor.--DannyBoy7783 20:53, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Though I'm also fine leaving it all in Fett's article.--DannyBoy7783 20:58, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, we can move that to "Boba Fett's armor", and shorten it down here. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:00, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not really in favor of that idea.--DannyBoy7783 21:27, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Why? There will still be information left, as well as a note to see "Boba Fett's armor" as well. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:29, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Boba Fett's equipment is a large part of who he is so it should stay on his page. There's no real need to move it so why do it?--DannyBoy7783 21:31, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not going to be moved. It's going to be shortened here, while another article will be made. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:18, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, is that so? Thanks Jack for telling me how it is going to be. Please see the first comment in this section. It is proposed that it (the gear section) be moved. I'm saying I don't think it is necessary. Tell me why you think it is please.--DannyBoy7783 22:44, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I misunderstood Imperialles's suggestion. I think that a separate page should be made, but still have some information on all of it here. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:09, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm still in favor of leaving it as is. Why change it?--DannyBoy7783 01:45, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Jack. (Mind you, I also suggested splitting Palpatine's extended bio to another article, and everyone thought it was a terrible idea.)  &mdash; Silly Dan  02:11, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it is something to consider for the future but I don't see it as necessary at the moment. It's a filled out section but it isn't huge. I plan to add the battle harness thing mentioned in the section above but other than that I feel the section has been fairly exhausted as far as content goes. If there was a large influx of new material I think it would be warranted.--DannyBoy7783 02:22, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless, a page should be created for Fett's armor, even if this information here remains. Admiral J. Nebulax 15:50, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, give it a go if you wish and we can review it all after it is done.--DannyBoy7783 18:05, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * We'll also add a notice to see the page in the section on the gear. Admiral J. Nebulax 18:23, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * How about Boba Fett's equipment for a title? --Imp 02:17, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Legacy....
Holy fish on a stick! I've just heard that Boba will be back for Legacy of the Force! If that's supposed to take place after the swarm war, and if all the original characters are about 60 in that, then Boba must be in his late 70's-early 80's! How do they expect him to be a credible threat now?
 * He'll be 72 years old. He's only 3 years older than Han. -LtNOWIS 02:21, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I wonder what the average life-expectancy is for Humans in Star Wars. Admiral J. Nebulax 02:32, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * In terms of non-force sensitive, Pellaeon was born 57 BBY, making him 97 by the time of the Legacy series. QuentinGeorge 02:33, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I remember reading somewhere that the average life-expectancy is 150 or so... But it could be SuperShadow nonsense. Admiral J. Nebulax 02:36, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Most likely. The actual life expectancy for humans in the SW galaxy is similar to earth. (ie, somewhere between 80-100). This is from the Revised Core Rulebook. Force-sensitives can live a bit longer. QuentinGeorge 02:44, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * He's Boba Fett, I'd never underestimate him as a force to be reckoned with. He'll be a credible threat a decade after he's six feet under.--DannyBoy7783 02:39, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, it'd be funny to see him walking around with a walker. ;) Admiral J. Nebulax 02:42, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * He'd have that walker laced with explosives and rockets and blasters and let's be honest, probably a flame thrower and a jetpack to boot.--DannyBoy7783 02:55, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, 150 is perfectly reasonable in the GFFA. Just take Orn Belden, and then there is Duke Teta. And WotC has been wrong before. In UAA, they said the Yuuzhan Vong were venerable at their eighties, yet Malik Carr said they lived three times that length. -- SFH 03:25, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * "Perfectly reasonable" - No. It's specifically explained (in those character's articles, no less), that their lifespans are exceptional. Look at the age at which Mon Mothma died. QuentinGeorge 03:27, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 *  Due to countless medical treatments, and organ transplants, he was 300 years old - Doesn't sound like a "natural" lifespan now, does it? Neither does By the time of the Imperial occupation of Bakura, he had become Senior Senator, despite the fact that he had two prosthetic hearts and now required a voice amplifier to speak. QuentinGeorge 03:28, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe perfectly reasonable was not the best choice of words. But it is possible...And Fett isn't above asking for medical help. -- SFH 03:33, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh no doubt. Fett's already got a cloned leg, anyway. Anyway, I agree, with prosthetic replacements humans can live a long time in the GFFA - but I suspect that would be the same here, if we had the technology. All I was arguing was that the "natural" lifespan of humans in GFFA is the same as here - around a century, give or take two decades. QuentinGeorge 03:39, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Leia says in Joiner King that Han, who's 57 at that point, has a good forty years of active life left, meaning that humans don't become cripplingly old until around 100. Total avg lifespan, then, would probably be 115-ish. CooperTFN 04:16, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I remember reading somewhere that the average Human could live to be around 120 or so... So, it's probably the same in the Star Wars Galaxy. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:42, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * "Back in November when we had a big story conference putting this series together, we did have a catchphrase that should define how you should be thinking about these aging characters: 60 is the new 40," said Allston. "They're remaining hale and healthy, and active up until much later ages, as our culture is with increasing and improving medical technology. So don't think of them as septuagenarian doddering, weak people. They're active fighting 60 and 70-year olds and looking good." -http://www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/f20050419/indexp25.html--Xilentshadow900 14:02, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * That basically proves that the average life-expectancy is around anywhere from 120 to 150 or even higher. Admiral J. Nebulax 14:49, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * New quotes from Jan Duursema on the Legacy comics are indicating LF policy is that human lifespan is near-normal in the GFFA. Yrfeloran 06:37, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Quotes

 * Anyone got good quotes for the first two sections of the bio? One about a) His childhood and B) His early career is what we're after. QuentinGeorge 02:53, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

New external link
How is that new external link relevant? It just seems like someone's random blog. The information isn't very important or noteworthy. I say we remove it. I'm not trying to be a party pooper or anything it just seems kind of pointless. Thoughts?--DannyBoy7783 21:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm going to delete this new link tomorrow if I don't hear anything in its defense.--DannyBoy7783 01:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently its already been done. Thanks.--DannyBoy7783 18:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Canon Fett without his helmet
I don't know if anyone here collects the Star Wars action figures but a new series coming out of metal figures will debut with Vader and Fett. They feature removable helmets and you can check them out here. These are just prototypes at the moment but when they are finally released would this constitute a canon representation of Boba Fett with his helmet off (as opposed to his appearance in Empire: Infinities)?--DannyBoy7783 03:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never been sure about the canon status of toys, but considering the Utapau shadow trooper made it to What's the story?, I'd say that'd be canon enough. Although, wasn't Fett also unmasked in a recent issue of Tales? -LtNOWIS 13:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I added the image. If anyone wants to discuss it please do!--DannyBoy7783 02:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Thank you. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * When I heard this was being made I was really excited. Then I saw the pictures and I was less excited. Then I read reviews and saw detailed images and I was sad. Then I saw it in person at KB Toys and it was $18. I gave up on it totally. It looks like ass to me and I'm really dissapointed with it but I think it's a cool idea still and useful for the page. My personal opinion of toy canon is that it is the bottom of the canon barrel so if nothing else interferes with it then it's ok to use. That's just me though, not site policy.--DannyBoy7783 23:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's the same with me. I don't like the idea of having Hasbro, Kenner, LEGO, or any other toy companies as sources. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 23:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have a problem with them as a source until someone tried to say they trump a comic, book, or movie. Then I'd have some major issues.--DannyBoy7783 23:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I just think that all toy websites should be removed from sources lists. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Battlefront 2
Bly1993 added: "He destroyed the cloning centers and became the scourge of the Kaminoans" Where is the proof of this statement? I have the game but that's speculation I think.--DannyBoy7783 20:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * They probably felt betrated since one of their own creations had brought the Empire back down on them. -- SFH 20:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It never says that though so wouldn't that just be fan speculation? I'm all for spicing up the writing when it is needed but I think that line should go.--DannyBoy7783 20:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The "and became the scourge of the Kaminoans" should be removed if it hasn't been yet. Admiral J. Nebulax 13:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Jaden Korr
It says that Fett encountered Korr(who was a jedi)in 10 ABY, but Skywalker established his Academy in 11 ABY, I don't know the exact date when Fett encountered Korr, but we gotta fix this mistake! I erased the "as part if his training" thing. Jaden Korr was made full Jedi Knight before this mission and didn't require any more training.Petiflo 14:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe it isn't a mistake. Admiral J. Nebulax 15:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, it's not a big mistake. We can just change it to 11 ABY. Admiral J. Nebulax 15:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The Jaden Korr article states that the events of Jedi Knight: jedi academy happened 10 after the battle of endor. That's my mistake, I read 10 ABY. I'll adjust the article to say 14 ABY (Battle of Endor was 4 ABY).--DannyBoy7783 22:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Everything should say "... after the Battle of Yavin" instead of "... Endor" to avoid year confusion. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. I went ahead and fixed the Jaden Korr article.--DannyBoy7783 03:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You really don't need to write here about your edits. An edit summary is fine. And even if you don't write an edit summary, you don't need to write anything here. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:53, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

What now?
It seems that there hasn't been much new content on Boba's page the past few weeks. I can't think of anything more to add at the moment. Can anyone come up with some ideas or suggestions? This is my favorite page so I'd love to do some more work on it. I Image the new Star Wars Insider issue may throw a few nuggets our way though.--DannyBoy7783 03:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I'm sure something is coming. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:45, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Bloodlines, anyone? - Kwenn 22:54, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Boba Fett: Overkill which I forgot about. Come sout March 15th.--DannyBoy7783 23:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I say that Boba Fett media should be kept at a minimum. It keeps his image of being mysterious, which people (and I) love him for.--Xilentshadow900 23:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, we need to know more about him, in my opinion. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * As long as the writers for the character stay true to him I don't think more content is a problem.--DannyBoy7783 03:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Featured?!
I'm sorry but this page is not FA material. At least not in wikipedia standards. --UVnet 01:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * How so? Admiral J. Nebulax 01:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's changed significantly since it was featured, for what it's worth. QuentinGeorge 01:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Admiral J. Nebulax 01:55, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This article has had substantial additions since it was featured, his weapons/equipment section in particular. In fact, it should be RE-featured because of all the additions. Pretty much everything available on Fett has been included as far as I can tell. UVnet, can you please explain why you think this article doesn't deserve "Featured Article" status?--DannyBoy7783 04:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps QuentinGeorge can tell us how it's changed as well. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:44, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Everyone can see for themselves. October 30th, 2005 (the day it was featured) and currently. As well as a comparison of the changes.--DannyBoy7783 17:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It does look much better now than before. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:44, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Not only that but there is a fair amount of new text as well.--DannyBoy7783 22:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * First of all the intro section is way too short. Second the entire behind the scenes section is poorly written. I mean, from a simple read a person who is not that familiar with his character can't get the idea that this character was at one time close to the most popular character in the star wars universe despite having such short screen time and almost no lines. Also there is nothing about the fact that most people (even some star wars fans) had no idea that he survived the sarlacc pit, and that his revival is somewhat controversial (I've heard in several places that one of the greatest aspects of his character is his death). Also almost no information about the whole Jaster Mereel thing, expect for:

he was once a Journeyman Protector called Jaster Mereel, an alias he took to honor his father's mentor.

which appears in the Behind the scenes section (?!) and has no mention that before AOTC it was believed this was his name.

It feels like any article that passes the 35KB mark receives an FA status here. An enormous amount of information is not enough for FA status. I mean, quality of writing and article structure are at the same (if not more) importance. Try to think in wikipedia standards here people. --UVnet 10:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The intro section is fine. Other articles that have been featured had it short. And maybe the Behind the Scenes article is poorly written now. As for the fans who didn't know he survived, that's why there's a section on it in the article. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know how the story "The Last One Standing" from Tales of the Bounty Hunters is resolved? It ends with Fett and Solo with rifles to each other's chests and Solo goes on to have other adventures. What I would like to know is if this resolution is ever described or referred to in any later Star Wars novels? Thanks! [Darth Sutek]
 * I'd like to point out a few things.
 * 1) We are not Wikipedia. We are our own community and have our own way of doing things.
 * 2) At the time this article was featured, we had no strict guidelines as to what made a featured article. We have since then developed criteria that potential FAs must meet to be featured, including the length of the intro and the writing style.
 * 3) For those who were disussing earlier about the renomination of this or any other previous FA, go here for a community vote. StarNeptune 19:21, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well said. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

YJK "Appearance"
Jack removed the following appearance:


 * Young Jedi Knights: The Emperor's Plague (Ailyn Vel disguised as Boba Fett)

I don't see why this should be taken off. I mean, if we note anytime someone is mentioned, that alone means the book should be on here. Whether it was really him or not, it is definitely worth noting. -- Ozzel 23:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed it because it wasn't an actual Fett appearance, just his daughter disguised as him. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 00:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know, but it's at least worthy of a "," right? And if we're gonna do that, we might as well be specific. -- Ozzel 00:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But was he metioned, or was it only Ailyn Vel in his armor? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't matter. If someone says "Hey, it's Boba Fett!", it doesn't matter if it's Boba Fett or Jar Jar Binks. They just mentioned Boba Fett. Besides, I'm sure there are many, many people who are unaware of this retcon. We want the best and most complete information possible, right? I don't see what deleting it accomplishes. -- Ozzel 01:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, yes, it should. If someone is wearing Boba Fett's armor and it's not Fett, that shouldn't count as a Fett appearance, or even a mention. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 12:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Appearances are by definition out of universe. For years, everyone thought that Boba Fett was in YJK; the retcon is fairly recent. I say we include the appearance, or have a note in Behind the Scenes explaining the retcon. -LtNOWIS 21:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Just slap a mo tag on it, since he himself did not appear. --Imp 22:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * ^Yep, it should certainly be a mention (mo).--Valin Kenobi 22:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, but if we're gonna do that, why not go ahead and be specific? -- Ozzel 22:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There's precedent for listing it like that in Jodo Kast, where one appearance is listed as "as impersonated by Thrawn." I added that, and no one has complained. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The "specificness" can be added to his main article text. No need to clutter up the sappearances section. :) --Imp 22:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * "Specificity?" ;-) Then does the same go for Thrawn on Jodo Kast's page? -- Ozzel 22:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If Thrawn is mentioned, it definitely should be listed. --Imp 22:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine, go re-add it in and put a on it. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 23:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Jabba's henchman
Considering he's a freelance bounty hunter, can he qualify for being Jabba's henchman? Just reguarding the new category.--Xilentshadow900 22:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think so. He didn't always work for Jabba, after all. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I doubt all of Jabba's henchmen worked only for Jabba in their life time Jack so thje fact that Fett worked for others during his lifetime doesn't rule him out (I would argue). Xilent, one can argue both sides of this but considering he is freelance and works by contract I would say he isn't someone's "henchman". It seems kind of beneath him to me. It is debatable though.--DannyBoy7783 16:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally, I find that category useless anyhow. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I've got an idea!
Why don't we put (Ailyn Vel disguised as Boba Fett) on the YJK appearances?!? ;-) Okay, sarcasm aside, let's put that, put a next to it, and then put a  note for all future editors to see. -- Ozzel 00:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, especially if it will get this anon to stop. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 00:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Who did insider say it was supposed to be under the suit? Ailyn or Boba? Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 19:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's Ailyn, but I'm not entirely sure. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

New Fett image from the Legacy series
Do we really need this image here? Fett looks exactly the same as he always does and the image isn't even that great. Just because there is a new image of Boba Fett doesn't mean it has to go up, does it?--DannyBoy7783 03:52, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, since it's his only current shot from the Legacy era, you might as well leave it in. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I suppose. I figured you'd say that actually. If he looked different in some way I could understand leaving it...but it's not the end of the world.--DannyBoy7783 03:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, under that armor, I'm sure he changed. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No doubt...but that won't be illustrated by putting an image of him in his armor on the page.--DannyBoy7783 23:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, we might as well leave it up. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 23:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Bobafettarmor.jpg
Is it really necessary to put in the article? It is already linked to in the sources section. Seems a bit redundant to me.--DannyBoy7783 13:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we should keep it in, since it does show the schematics for Fett's armor. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You can't really read the schematics, even when you enlarge the image. And including an entire magazine spread kind of strains the bounds of fair use. — SavageBob 19:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine, remove it then. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:34, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone wants to crop portions of the original file from bobafett.com to show off specific items I think that would be ok but I think having the entire picture is sort of overkill a little. --DannyBoy7783 20:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think having bits and pieces of the picture would look any better. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * As SavageBob pointed out you can't read the diagram in the uploaded version so all the image does is serve to show off his armor which is already done by other pictures in the article. It's not a big deal. --DannyBoy7783 04:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Then I guess we'll remove it. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Han Solo trilogy
WHy doesn't someone mention his appearence in the han solo trilogy.It states that boba fett hunted solo and was cuaght by lando calrrisian. ```Varas Halcyon
 * I believe it's already in there. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

It's in thier, but not in sufficient detail. Callrisisans capture and drugging of Fett gave Fett a reason to hate
 * "gave Fett a reason to hate". Another one? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

You only mentioned that Fett hated Solo because of the honor thing. Solo being involved in Fetts capture, drugging, and humiliation gave Fett a real reason to hate Solo, and I think we need to explain that. Varas Halcyon
 * I wasn't talking about just hating Solo, you know... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Tense in articles and greetings to all the Fetties
Hey there. Sorry about changing the tense around in the article. Didn't know it was all supposed to be in past tense. [Silly Dan] helped me out with that and showed me the how-to edit page. How's everyone here doing, by the way. I discovered this site by accident one day and I've added a few little things here and there, over the last year or so. Didn't have a lot of time to spend editing on here at the time. I was more interested in reading all the very well done articles that fans have put on this site. By my log in name, it's obvious I'm a big Fett fan, and of course, that transfers over to anything Mandalorian. Lots of wonderful stuff on here about it all. I help out on the Boba Fett Fan Club website, so if you ever need any help with research or anything like that, just say the word guys (and gals, if there's any out there). Well, I hope you all are doing well. Looking forward to helping out on here. Take care. --Sadriel Fett 04:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a little heads-up: these kind of talk pages (not user talk pages) aren't used for discussions not relating to the article itself. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.--Sadriel Fett 16:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Fender logo
For what it's worth, I don't think there's anything to it... I always thought it was a credit symbol, but it actually does look like a Fender "F". Cutch 01:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Could someone provide a picture? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just do a Wikipedia search for "Fender Guitar"s and look at the "F" on the company's logo. Cutch 14:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, now I see... They are practically identical. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Picture placement in article
I was taking a look at the article and noticed that one of the Boba Fett pics is blocking out the first sentence of the Early Imperial era (19 BBY to 0 BBY) section. Does anyone know how to fix that? Sadriel Fett 06:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it could just be your screen resolution. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Symbol on Jaster Mereel's ship
I'm sure that the recent addition about the symbol on Fett's breastplate also being on Jaster Mereel's ship is refering to the "Jaster's Legacy." However, do we know that was Jaster's ship? As far as I know, that was only referenced to be Jango's ship before he acquired Slave 1.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has actually heard any official origin story for this particular symbol? I'm curious to the reason Boba Fett has it on his armor. The reason I ask, is I noticed one of the Clone pilots in Episode III has this symbol on his helmet. He would be the pilot that states "They're all over me" and then promptly gets destroyed. I happened to catch it in the theater, but wasn't able to confirm it, until the DVD's came out and I could pause the image. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 02:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * By Jove, he's right. Cutch 03:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it's some sort of Mandalorian heritage symbol? After all, Jango Fett did live by a wheat field on Concord Dawn if my memory serves me right... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe its the symbol for Mandalorian Oats. Cutch 17:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good lord... I'd hope not. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the best thing I can think of is a Mandalorian heritage symbol. With a Fender guitar "F". Cutch 19:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Come on, why couldn't they put some better symbols there instead? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Cute, Cutch. All of a sudden I got a flash of a new cereal.  Mando Bunches of Oats.  God help us.  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 04:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, before we go insane, let's... Oh wait, we already went insane with that. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * According to Star Wars: The Official Figurine Collection, the symbol is an insignia showing membership in Jaster Mereel's regiment; Boba Fett's suit apparantly once belonged to Mereel which is why his shows it, though I don't know how it got anywhere else. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 15:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Wasn't Jango in Mereel's regiment? That would explain why the clone pilot had it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * However, do we know that was Jaster's ship? As far as I know, that was only referenced to be Jango's ship before he acquired Slave 1.
 * From Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Jango, talking about Jaster's Legacy -
 * "Not a chance, she belonged to Jaster Mereel".
 * QuentinGeorge 06:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, that shows it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the fact that this particulary symbol being on clones helmets could be a problem. Jango has this symbol and he has been used for the cloning process. Besides the Guide to the Grand Army of the Republic (in Insider 84) tells us, at many times, that mandalorian warriors have been hired to form some clone batallions. In the EU we also see at many times that mandalorian culture has a big place in the clone community. In Republic Commando we can even see (or hear) battle songs, from mandalorian culture, sung by clones. This symbol is just a small part of that culture sharing between Mandalorians and Clones (sorry for my english...). (Kaal-Jhyy)
 * Your English is fine. And as for the "wheat symbol", they definitely got it from Jango, who I believe was in Meerel's regiment. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, no doubt. Definitely got it from the Mandalorians.  I was just wondering what it meant.  I had once heard it stood for the Journeyman Protectors, and once that it was supposed to stand for the SuperCommando's.  I don't think Lucasfilms has ever really said what it's for, though, like they have with the Mando Skull.  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 16:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Jaymach gave us that answer. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:21, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sure that you all know that yet, but, the comics series Jango Fett: Open Season is a great source for infos about relationship between Jango and Jaster, as well as the places of those characters inside the mandalorian army. I've not checked yet the symbols and all that stuff in detail, but I'm sure it could worth it. Maybe we could find some useful meanings in it. Anyway, you have really good eyes Sadriel! I've played Bounty Hunter game a lot, and so, have seen this symbol many times, but never noticed it in ROTS. Good job! (oh, and I'm glad that my english is not too bad, thanks ;) ...) (Kaal-Jhyy)
 * BTW, there's this picture I've found on the official site...

... and it's curiously similar to the one you've showed us. Ok, both characters are clones, but the shot is pretty much the same, as well as the facial expression, and the symbol is really not the same. So, I've not checked in the movie, but does this picture actually come from the movie (at least from the final version)? (Kaal-Jhyy)
 * I don't remember seeing that one. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've seen that one on the Star Wars website, too. Thought it was pretty neat.  That's the actual Clone's symbol, ain't it?  On the snapshots page, I think?  Well, I know the Mandalorian symbol clone pilot is from the movie, because I had to pause the DVD player and take the pic myself, because I couldn't find the pic anywhere else.  ;-)  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 03:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe they filmed one side shot of Temuera and added all the details of the uniform in digitally? They said, when playing Commander Cody, he was wearing a blue suit, and the armor was added digitally.  Maybe this is another example of the same?  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 03:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Could be. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Sarlacc escapes
This article needs to go more in-depth on the...what, three times he hauled himself out of there? Thanos6 17:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added the information from the Marvel comic and, having re-read the Tales from Jabba's Palace story, I can't find any reason why this escape can not match the Bounty Hunter Wars story; it simply goes into more detail about what he did while in the Sarlacc, and how he escaped. If anyone wants to go into any more detail from that story, then they can feel free. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 19:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Out of sheer curiosity... considering what we see in ROTJ, does George Lucas "accept" that Boba Fett survives the Sarlacc? I'm not arguing its canonicity; I'm just wondering where the big man stands on it. -BaronGrackle 20:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe Lucas said somewhere that he accepts that Fett survived. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In the audio commentary from ROTJ DVD, Lucas expresses his regrets to haven't made a more spectacular death for Boba Fett, because of his popularity and especially cause of his backstory he's made in the prequels, and finishes about Boba saying "Most people don't believe he died anyway...". So, I do think he's accepted that Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc, or at least that people think that, but I'm not sure about his own opinion. Anyway, I really think that Boba's survival is canon, at least in the Bounty Hunter Wars. I don't know well the Marvel series, but it makes me wondering if all that is in can really be canon? I've seen some really weird things in it, that could makes me think about Flash Gordon more than Star Wars... Anyway, I think that Bounty Hunter Wars is the best, and canonical, source for Boba Fett's survival. ;) (Kaal-Jhyy)
 * Well, if Marvel Star Wars was a game, I couldn't agree with you more, but unfortunately it isn't. However, we have to accept both Marvel and Bounty Hunter Wars. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not too thrilled about the Jawa story, either. However, Star Wars Insider retrofitted the Marvel Comics story with Boba Fett, Fenn Shysa, and Tobi Dala.  Since Boba would have been too young during that history version of Boba Fett, they made it to where it was actually the ARC Trooper Spar, and everyone called him the son of Jango Fett, so everyone assumed he was Boba Fett.  Something, I'm guessing, that Spar didn't discourage.  But, I guess it caught up to him later, when Ailyn Vel killed him, thinking he was Boba Fett.  So, if they're going to include that story as part of Mandalorian history, I guess we should include the Jawa story in the article, as well, you know?  I'm still not sure what they're talking about him escaping three times, though?  I only heard about the time in the Marvel series, and the time that's represented in both the Tales from Jabba's Palace and The Bounty Hunter Wars books.  Can someone explain the third time he's supposed to have escaped the Sarlaac?  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 19:28, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Three times? Come on. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So, does anyone else think we've elaborated on the Sarlaac escape enough that we can take down the "needs to be expanded" banner on the article page? Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 04:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I say take it down. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'm going to go ahead and take it down, then.  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 16:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

List of Boba Fett appearances
What happened to all the Boba Fett appearances on the page? Is there a reason someone moved them all to List of Boba Fett appearances? Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 01:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * When there's a lot of appearances, it's sometimes easier to move them, to make the page less bulky. See Category:Appearances lists. I guess whether it was neccesary is a judgement call. -LtNOWIS 08:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The user who did it (forgot his name) did the same thing with many other characters with a lot of appearances to free up some space. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:59, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Vong Invasion Mandalorians
I noticed someone from ISP 152.163.100.132 keeps changing the Vong Invasion era Mandalorians involvement. I don't like the way it reads right now, as part of a "continuity" error. They also list the error because it says they allied themselves with the Yuuzhan Vong from one of the Star Wars Tales comics. However, this isn't so, if this is the comic they are referring to.

http://starwars.wikia.com/images/a/a8/Mandalorians_led_by_Boba_Fett.jpg

There might be a reference from the NJO series. I never read those. However, I know for a fact that they didn't ally themselves with the Yuuzhan Vong yet, from that Star Wars Tales comic issue. Fett only tells Han to tell his friends that "The Mandalorians are back, and we're working for whoever can afford to hire them. And right now the Yuuzhan Vong have all the credits." That was a threat, not an actual confirmation that they had allied themselves with the Yuuzhan Vong at that time. Like I said, though, I don't know if there were any other references to them fighting alongside the Yuuzhan Vong in the NJO series or not. The only excerpt from that I know of, are the Mandalorians fighting against the Vong on a space station. Does anyone else know of any other mention of them allying themselves with the Yuuzhan Vong?

Also, does anyone else agree about the way that portion of the article reads. I'm really too tired to re-write it right now, plus I wanted to make sure there weren't any other references to the Mandalorians allying themselves to the Vong, before I deleted it. Anyone else have any suggestions? Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 05:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There is abolsutely no reason to delete it. The implication is plain and if this covered any subject other than one of the sacred Fabdalorian shrines no one would complain. Kuralyov 05:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Just in case anyone tries to delete it again, please direct them to here and here, which I've scanned in from The Official Star Wars Fact Files and is thus a fully canon source. Of course it tells the story of Boba during the YJK story before it was retconed to be Ailyn Vel, so we can ignore that, but the rest is still perfectly valid. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 06:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, whoever reverted it back. I didn't know if there were any other references to the Vong invasion or not, but figured the books couldn't be the only source.  Which Star Wars Fact Files did you get those pics from?  I actually collect those, and was curious as to which issue they came out of.  Thanks.  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 19:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe it's Issue 27 (got it from the Sources section&mdash;just a guess). Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
