Talk:Boba Fett

Mandalorian?
Mandalorian? Canon!Jango is not one and neither is Bobba. --85.76.52.197 13:01, June 20, 2014 (UTC)Tiisis
 * You have a point: the Encyclopedia merely describes the Fetts as humans, neglecting to mention Jango's homeworld. On the Death Watch's page it merely mentions "Jango Fett had no known association with the Death Watch - except for wearing the same Mandalorian armor. The officials of Mandalore disavowed any connection to Fett. They claimed Jango was simply a bounty hunter who somehow stole an artifact from the planet's troubled past." --Alientraveller (talk) 13:27, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * You are correct that Boba Fett is not identified as a Mandalorian in canon. Per Alientraveller, the Prime Minister of Mandalore specifically dismissed Jango as a pretender. I've removed the Mandalorian references. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:25, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Umm he's mentioned as Mandalorian in the Star Wars OT encyclopedia, and as far as I know that is still canon.
 * Whatever that is, it's not canon. The official Databank does not say Boba is a Mandalorian, nor do any other canon sources. They say he wears Mandalorian armor, but so did Jango Fett: and Prime Minister Almec of Mandalore called Jango a pretender. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:19, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * However Almec himself was a pretender, so we can't believe everything he says. 108.92.162.217 17:07, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * We can in the absence of any other canon sources. Right now, there is nothing that says Boba or Jango were Mandalorians in canon. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:12, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Dead or alive?
Do we know if he's dead or alive Gopher dude 11 (talk)
 * His last chronological, canonical appearance is Return of the Jedi, so&mdash;as best as we know&mdash;he's dead. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:25, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * In the Expanded Universe, he escaped the Sarlacc, but that has been retconned in preparation of Episode VII. So he's dead for now. SeanWheeler (talk) 00:26, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Presumed dead, at the very least. That's why, in writing this article, I left the ending deliberately vague. For example, instead of saying he died during the battle at the sarlacc, I said he was knocked into the sarlacc where he would be digested for a thousand years&mdash;which doesn't preclude the possibility of him getting out. The Databank has also kept it vague in much the same way. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:31, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Just got word from a Reddit AMA with JW Rinzler that George has decided Boba Fett lived and thus his escape is presumably set to be retold in future Canon material. --FigmentJedi (talk) 20:49, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the information from Rinzler into the behind the scenes section. However, this isn't enough to go on to treat it as in-universe fact. It doesn't appear in the film, so it can't really be considered part of the immovable George Lucas canon that Lucasfilm has referred to Episodes I-VI and The Clone Wars as unless we're told otherwise. George Lucas doesn't make story decisions for Star Wars anymore, so there's no telling what Lucasfilm/Disney will ultimately say about Boba's death. My hunch is that he's alive, but until we see confirmation in an official, canon source, we need to keep this page vague. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:16, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Galactic Defense
Can someone who has Star Wars: Galactic Defense (and who wasn't involved in the edit war on the page) confirm whether that game says anything about Boba being a Mandalorian? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:22, March 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not very far into the game, so I can't account for any other Boba info, but this is his loading screen flavor text: "A clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, Boba Fett is a formidable bounty hunter in his own right. His extreme methods make him a figure to be feared, and he is tasked by Jabba the Hutt to capture Han Solo." Haven't seen a Jango loading screen yet, so no word on whether it calls him a Mandalorian or not. Operative lm (talk) 07:03, March 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm wondering if people might be trying to bring information over from the Galactic Defense wiki. Their page for Boba has a lot of in-universe information of the type that isn't found anywhere in the characters' in-game "Detailed Info" pages. Operative lm (talk) 19:04, March 9, 2015 (UTC)
