It's rude to use about people who are solely physically unattractive, but I think it's probably fair to use to describe people who have awful personalities, recognize those faults, and then blame the opposite sex instead of working on improving their own appeal.

Weird? Not really. In medieval literature, a lot of fictional chivalry (knights) are portrayed as being chaste, Sir Galahad of the Holy Grail quest (not the Michael Palin version) being an extreme example. Bear in mind that these were written during a period when the Catholic Church played a bigger role in society and chastity / celibacy was seen as a norm for unmarried gentry. You could say that first Fett story was in essence a throwback to that sort of protagonist. A warrior monk, so to speak.

The flirting scene in Jabba's Palace doesn't contradict it, You can flirt all day without indulging etc. I liked Fett's original story, more than Him being a Clone in fact.

@@W4kT3k The Jedi should represent law and order. But they were also a cult of religious zealots who took babies from their families and taught them to supress their emotions, and we all know how it ended. The Jedi became something totally different then what they were supposed to be. They became soldiers instead of peace keepers. They had no problem to use the army of clones who were designed to be obedient and OK with being disposable war material. The Republic was corrupted and blind to see their own hypocrisy. The "evil" Separatists at least used droids as soldiers instead of humans. So the Jedi represent law and order of a regime which is rotten and falls apart because its own hypocrisy and dysfunction. The Republic has totalitarian tendencies too, because why the hell didn´t they just let the separatistic planets leave the Republic? The more you think about it, the more the moral high ground of the Jedi doesn´t seem so high. Jedi and Mandalorians are also historical enemies. A Jedi killed Boba´s father. It would be weird if he wanted to join Luke out of the blue. Boba worked for the Empire and Hutt cartel because who else was around and paid well? The Empire was an official government for the most of Boba´s bounty hunting career, except of a few last years of the Republic before its fall. Some people saw the Empire as the real law and order, and the Rebels as a bunch of terrorists. Some people saw no difference between the Empire and the Republic because for example slavery on remote planets was a problem during the Republic era too. And I think Boba would draw the line at the point when the bounty would be a child who is supposed to be murdered or enslaved. And if puppies or innocent old ladies were the bounty. :D

Several things. I am pretty sure the name Jaster Meril came from the old marvel star wars comics with Fenn Shysa. If i recall the interview, the character was portrayed as a fanatic and the author of Boba Fett's short story was restrained from doing anything different with the character b/c they were still considered eu canon lore. Also, the scene in Return of the Jedi was added for the Special Edition, well after the Tales book was published. Shatterpoint DID have an audiobook, abridged of course. but it is sitting on my shelf. Star by Star's abysmal abridgement and the response that triggered along with the shift to cds instead of cassette which happened a book or so later is what prompted the lengthening of books. Evereything is still abridged until the middle of the Legacy of the Force series...but several novels never got audio aty all...such as the Rebublic Commando series, Shows of Mindor and others. So, so far we have not heard of anything that has "never gotten audio versions", just better versions of what we already have. Maybe one day we will get the audios for Riptide, Crosscurrent, or the Coruscant Nights books. Also, since Audible is absolutely trash, Particularly to independent authors) do NOT exchange any books you do buy from them or they will not count as having "been bought" and it will likely not help them to release more.

Origanal Boba Fett from what I read from the legends source material was that boba fett was far to disaplined from his hard mandalorian training to give a crap about the sexiness of ladys had no time for that nonsense!

honestly, of any character in star wars i think boba fett is the one character i could actually see being asexual, or having little to no interest in sex/romance. i really like how his relationship with fennec has been portrayed so far, as this dedicated and honor bound partnership, but without any kind of sexual undertones.
@KomradeDoge3 жыл бұрын
In legends he has a wife and a kid, and we see him flirting with those women in Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi, so I'm not sure asexual is the right way to describe him. I'd say he has an "old fashioned" way of looking at what marriage and love is, and he has a "job first" mentality. He's in a position of power with Fennec, his moral compass isn't going to let him take advantage of that.

I have always headcanoned Jango Fett as asexual. He could have a kid in normal way but he chose to have a clone of himself as his son. This is exactly what many asexuals would do if cloning technology was on Star Wars level and human cloning was legal. And because Boba is Jango´s clone it is highly likely he is asexual too.

I think the idea in concept isn’t bad, but for Boba specifically it doesn’t make any sense because I’m RotJ he’s working for Jabba, a drug lord, hanging out in his palace, and seen flirting with some of his dancer girls.
@CaesarGB3 жыл бұрын
Flirting isn’t the same as actually having sex. Christians do some flirting and kissing but if they do it right they wait until marriage for things to get heated. But, I don’t think Jabba’s dancing girls are the marriageable type, especially not for a man like Boba. But you have a point with him working for a drug lord.

I have always headcanoned Jango as asexual. He didn´t have a kid with some female bountyhunter colleague, he just let the Kaminoans clone his son from his DNA. As an asexual he also wasn´t distracted by sexual urges, so he was more focused on mastering his skills - kinda like Nikola Tesla with science, but Jango mastered his fighting and bountyhunting skills. And because Boba is his clone, it is highly likely he would be asexual too.

I listened to Thrawn as an audiobook (after being told to read it)- I had a large headache/stomachache so I just got it and was like “I like this…” then did the logical thing of buying the rest of the Thrawn and Thrawn Ascendancy audiobooks… I blew through them in about a week (I was an am in lockdown so… that’s why I got through them so quickly…)

Did "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" get a rewrite? I read that book in middle school (2005-ish), and I remember the Boba story differently, especially his interaction with Leia. The way I remember it, Jabba puts Leia in Boba's room as a reward, but Boba doesn't touch her. Not because he had something against extramarital sex, but because he didn't want to force himself on her. When Leia asks him why he works for the Empire and not the Rebellion, I remember his answer being completely pragmatic, not moral. He works for the Empire because they pay well, but more importantly, he thinks the Rebel Alliance is doomed, and he doesn't want to risk the Empire coming after him for associating with them. Does anyone else remember it like that? Or am I thinking of a different story?
