"You were right. I'm supposed to bring you in alive. But 'alive' just means breathing." (Star Wars Issue #06)
"Boba Fett! Please, we need your help! And we've seen what you do -- you hunt bad men, murderers, criminals --"
"No...I hunt bounties." (Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Boba Fett)
We all know him. We all (should) love him. We're starting to get some better feats for Boba Fett and hopefully have him be the badass we knew he was in the EU/Legends continuity. This will be my Respect Thread for the Canon version of Fett, and will eventually include his teen feats from TCW (The Clone Wars show) as well. Respect the unaltered clone, the man, the myth, the bounty hunter legend.
This thread will be divided into the following categories:
- Accolades
- Skill
- Strength
- Speed/Reactions
- Durability/Endurance
- Gear/Equipment
