Escape From the Sarlacc
According to the novel "Tales from Jabba's Palace," in the short story "A Barve Like That," Fett blew his way out of the sarlacc with his concussion rifle. But according to this article he was thrown out without any struggle whatsoever. I have also seen pictures of him flying out on his jetpack while shooting his flamethrower at the sarlacc. Clarification?

The story told in this article bothers me, for it renders the quote: "The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible," as literal, while I always found it to be a play on the sarlacc's thwarted attempt at killing him. For whatever reason would the sarlacc find him indigestible? (Literally of course). The sarlacc has indeed swollowed many stormtroopers while finding them deliciously digestible. Again, clarification?

I invite you to join this discussion and help me find what is actually true about Fett's escape from the sarlacc. I see no mention of there being many different stories regarding the incident, while in fact there are many out in the universe today.

Sincerely, The Grand Admiral

 * I have to think that the version stated in Tales from Jabba's Palace: A Barve Like That is correct. There is no other canonical source that I know of that has a contradictory explanation, although I seem to remember reading somewhere (I think it was Tales of the Bounty Hunters: The Last One Standing) that he blew his way out with a thermal detonator. Either way, I agree with you that the quote, "The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible," is not meant to be taken as literal. I have seen the image of him flying out with the flamethrower firing, but that may be fanart or concept art, not necessarily a canonical depiction. Well, that's my interpretation. Any other ideas are welcome.  Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters )
 * Where does his first escape fit in the timeline of things? The BHW trilogy is supposed to take place during ROTJ; and Han and Leia were accounted for during that. - Milo Fett [Comlink] 22:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * His "first" escape is in the Marvel Star Wars comics. The "Jawa's of Doom" issue.  I know the whole Sandcrawler thing falling into the Sarlaac sounds kind of gay, and the "Tales of..." and "Bounty Hunter Wars" series of books version of his escape are better.  But, we still include it in the article, since other Marvel Star Wars comics info are included in other articles on the Wiki.  I haven't read the Marvel comics series, since it's kind of hard to find copies of these days, but the comic says it takes place after the Battle of Endor.  I know they have "tie-in" issues of the first two movies, made into the regular comic series, but the Return of the Jedi movie tie-in was a separate mini-series.  We know that in issue 68, Leia is still searching for Han.  That's the issue with Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala, but Han is free by issue 81, which is the Jawas of Doom story.  The Marvel Star Wars Return of the Jedi 1: In the Hands of Jabba the Hutt has a publication date of October 1983, and the Star Wars 81: Jawas of Doom has one of March 1984.  So, this was done after the movie had come out.  It's just one of those conundrums that have no real answer as to when it occured, because of different writer's interpretations of the events.  I personally, think the novels are more canon than the comics, but only the Marvel series.  The Marvel series of comics I kind of take with a tongue-in-cheek/ grain-of-salt attitude, because of the time period and the way they were written.  However, the Dark Horse series of comics are a lot more researched and the writers are more careful that their stories stick more with regular Star Wars continuity, so that they can be included as such.  Now that all six of the movies are out, it'll be a lot easier for novel and comic book writers to keep within those continuity limitations.  They did do a fairly good job of tying up a lot of continuity blunders with The History of the Mandalorians article in the Star Wars Insider.  Anyway, we still include both escapes in the Boba Fett article, though, and consider this as his "first" escape, because he ends up back in the Sarlaac and in the novels he ends up staying out of the Sarlaac permantly.  I hope this helps out some, dude.  Take care.  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 02:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Why is this page now called Big Uncle Boba?
WHY????? There is no point to do it, it can confuse people and it is not his proper name. WHY?????
 * He's Boba. He's Big. He's an uncle. That's it! QuentinGeorge 10:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake. I'll move him to the correct title as soon as I finish typing this message. jSarek 11:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Blaster info in weapons section
I went ahead an deleted the incorrect info about the blaster being Jango's other blaster. If you watch Ep. II, Jango loses his first one when he's fighting Obi-Wan on Kamino. That's why he only uses one blaster the whole time on Geonosis. Watch when he kills Coleman Trebor; only one blaster in his holsters. The second one is destroyed when Mace Windu decapitates him. Also, Boba's blaster is obviously not the same blaster. You can see that just by looking at them. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 02:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Boba Fett in Episode III
This tidbit was mentioned twice, about his almost involvement in Mace's death. Can someone fix this? I don't know which to erase.

The Pure 501st


 * Took care of it. I deleted the portion that had the least specific information in it.  &mdash;  Sadriel Fett  [[Image:Mandalorian Neo-Crusader and Modern Era Symbol.JPG|45px]] ( Mando'a ) ( Bounties ) 07:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

toys as canon?
I just asked this on page 3 of the archive but I didn't know if anyone would notice it there. When did toys become canon? I originally brought this issue up some time ago but no one had any answers beyond it not officially being canon at that time. On page 3 of the archive someone says that toys are now canon and in the BTS section of the article it says that the titanium Fett figure by Hasbro is now canon. When did this change and become official canon? The canon talk page doesn't have any responders to my initial question saying the policy changed. --DannyBoy7783 15:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Appearances
I was looking at the List of Boba Fett appearances article today and noticed it is slated to be merged with this article and then deleted. I was wondering if anyone had plans on doing this? It says it needs to be scroll boxed into one title under Appearances, but I still think it should be sub-divided under movies, books, television, short stories, etc. Anyone else have any input on the matter? &mdash; Sadriel Fett   ( Mando'a ) ( Bounties ) 22:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I copied and pasted all the appearances and saved it to a Word Document. The only difference is I added a section for the movie appearances.  Other than that, it'll pretty much show up the same on this article, but in a scroll box.  I did a preview of what the scroll box would look like and it looks fine.  I don't really know of a way to put it on here for everyone to preview without saving the entire thing to the article.  If no one has any objections, I'll add it on the article so you can take a look at it, to see if everyone is fine with it.  Then we can put the other one in for deletion, like it says.  Thanks.  &mdash;  Sadriel Fett  [[Image:Mandalorian Neo-Crusader and Modern Era Symbol.JPG|45px]] ( Mando'a ) ( Bounties ) 22:20, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I really think it looks better separated by movies, tv, books, games, etc, instead of putting it in chronological order, like it was saying. If it's a big deal, then we can at least merge it with this article for now, and then organize chronologically later, since that'll take a while.  Thoughts?  &mdash;  Sadriel Fett  [[Image:Mandalorian Neo-Crusader and Modern Era Symbol.JPG|45px]] ( Mando'a ) ( Bounties ) 22:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No feedback? Well, since no one seems to mind, I'll go ahead and update the Appearances section late tonight.  &mdash;  Sadriel Fett  [[Image:Mandalorian Neo-Crusader and Modern Era Symbol.JPG|45px]] ( Mando'a ) ( Bounties ) 18:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Age of Daniel Logan?
This page lists Daniel Logan's age as 10 when he played Boba in Episode II. Is this right? If he was born in '87 (as stated on the actor's own article page), wouldn't he be older than that during filming of his scenes for Attack of the Clones? - Kev-La Ttolya 01:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You misread it. Logan played a ten-year-old Boba Fett in Episode II. It's not saying that Logan was 10 at that time. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry! Thanks for that :) -Kev-La Ttolya 06:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Personality
I just read the SotE comics and it seems like the aspects of his personality revealed there ought to be reflected in the article. Fett stands around frequently having long discourses with Solo's frozen body, which says the guy has got something wrong with him. However, I don't know how this would be properly interpreted, but it reads almost like a Norman Bates and his mother type thing to me. Plus, this has added significance in light of Robot Chicken doing a spoof of Fett's conversations with carbon Solo, which I believe was the only EU material the Star Wars special drew from. Thoughts? And you can see the Robot Chicken segment here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPSmDLfX_Q 9&#39;er 07:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you provide some quotes from the SotE comic? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A scan of the image would be helpful as well! -- Awar 21:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC).
 * “I might have known they’d try to move on you, Solo. They know we’re here now, but where are they?”, “What to do with you? Tatooine, yes… get to Tatooine, claim Jabba’s reward and be rid of you. Yet they’ll be watching for us […] Not that you care, eh, Solo?”, “There is still one thorn in my flesh, I have come to hate the sight of you, Solo!”, “This is it, Solo- Do or Die! Not for you I suppose. Like a pestilence, you’d survive anything.” [[Image:FettAndSolo.jpg|thumb|650px]]
 * I don't agree with the whole "he's nuts" way this is going. He's just irritated with Solo, I mean, we all have a go at something that's been annoying us, don't we. E.G. When the computer doesn't work, you might smack it and shout "work!" at it. This is exactly what Fett is doing.  Jasca Ducato Sith Council 17:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not insisting that he's crazy, but perhaps at the least, he temporarily developed an obsession or habit pushing the bounds of what is generally considered "healthy". That comic strongly suggests that Fett spends most of his downtime talking to the body, in one part, chooses to talk to Solo before his living captive Zuckiss. Only reason I bring it up is because his 'personality' section doesn't have much to say outside of Fett's professional demeanor, and this may be one of the few tidbits revealing his underlying character during the OT period.

Non-canon
For a time I've been irritated by the "non-canon" image description in the Physical appearance section. Since the articles are supposed to be IU, that really needs to be changed. But there is one other question we should address at the same time: do we really want that image? I know, there aren't any fully canon images of the unmasked adult Boba, but isn't it better to use the Titanium series action figure (which is at least ambiguous canon) than the very much non-canon Infinites picture? Charlii 14:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I see no need to remove it. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 15:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Villain or Hero?
In this article Boba Fett is said that he never joined up with any side of the two wars but in Star Wars Battlefront II Boba Fett is used as a Villain Charecter under Assualt on Mos Eisley. I beleive the first ideaa about him being an independent person judging by his attitude towards others. Anyone else have an opinion?-Sev13 July 10 2007
 * Boba is only a villian on this level because you play as Han Solo, with whom Fett was an enemy of; on a personal level.  Jasca Ducato Sith Council 19:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up for me. Sev
