Why Boba Fett Was the ONLY Bounty Hunter Palpatine Ever Respected - Star Wars Explained

[@sjoerdwillemsen7946]

"No disintregrations!" While looking and pointing towards Boba. That alone hints at Vader having worked with Boba before the events of Empire.

I always thought he said that because Boba Fett had been sent to get the droids on Tatooine but left Luke's Aunt and Uncle in a crispy, i guess 1970s version of disintegrated, state.

Man, it's crazy that Disney could make SO MUCH MORE MONEY and good will if they allowed Star Wars Legends to continue being developed along side their Canon Universe. It could be like Marvel, where there's the MCU AND the comic Universes at the same time.

[@EAcapuccino]

Though not force sensitive, Boba had likely a taste of the dark side and held a personal hatred for the Jedi. Witnessing first hand, the decapitation and supposed murder of his father Jango by Mace Windu in the execution Arena.. For Sidious, this meant Boba was more of a potential ally than a mere money driven goon.

[@thestarkknightreturns]

Also Jango witnessed the Jedi butchering his entire Mandalorian clan in an ambush. He was the sole survivor and he got to kill a few Jedi in the process, a couple of them with his bare hands. He was sold as a slave because of that. I'm sure Jango made sure he thought Boba never to trust a Jedi ever.

[@MrSpannners]

Ah yes Prince Scizor, and his brother's Paaper and Rocke, both princes also

[@BlancaPalliser]

Emperor Palpatine's respect for Boba Fett, the renowned bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe, stemmed from several factors that set Fett apart from other mercenaries and bounty hunters: 1. **Professionalism and Effectiveness**: Boba Fett was known for his professionalism, competence, and ruthless efficiency in capturing or eliminating targets. He had a reputation for completing difficult assignments successfully, often employing a combination of skills, cunning, and technology to achieve his goals. 2. **Reliability and Loyalty**: Unlike many bounty hunters who were driven purely by credits or personal gain, Boba Fett was known to adhere strictly to his contracts and maintain a sense of honor and loyalty to his clients. This reliability made him a valuable asset to those who hired him, including the Empire. 3. **Independence and Autonomy**: Boba Fett operated independently and was not easily manipulated or controlled by others. His ability to navigate the criminal underworld and interact with various factions, including the Empire, showcased his autonomy and resourcefulness. 4. **Fearlessness and Resilience**: Fett's fearless demeanor and ability to handle dangerous situations, including facing formidable opponents like Jedi, contributed to his reputation as one of the galaxy's most feared bounty hunters. Palpatine likely admired Fett's ability to navigate and survive in such perilous environments. 5. **Unique Skill Set**: Fett possessed a range of skills and resources that set him apart from other bounty hunters, including his iconic Mandalorian armor, advanced weaponry, and the Slave I starship. These assets made him a versatile and formidable adversary or ally, depending on the situation. Overall, Boba Fett's combination of professionalism, reliability, independence, and effectiveness in his craft earned him the respect of Emperor Palpatine and others in positions of power within the galaxy. This respect solidified Fett's reputation as a legendary figure in the Star Wars universe, even beyond his association with the Empire.

[@windwalker121]

Palpatine lost all respect for Boba Fett the moment he saw his Disney+ series.

[@troylowe338]

😂😂

[@Toldoris]

I'm quite sure that beeing in Palpatines good books is worth much more than any bribe. Palpatine had limitless resources. He wouldn't care if Fett charged him ridiculously high prices as long as he is reliable and gets the job done. Even Vader respected Fetts professionalism. When he was worried that Solo could die during the freezing process and loose his value Vader guaranteed him compensation for his loss instead of threatening him to shut up.

[@ericthomas6726]

Too bad Disney couldn't respect Boba as much as the Emperor did.

[@Grandtemplar305]

Sidious told young boba in legend that jango was a talent that comes every century or so

[@Gor85]

This is great compliment by Palpatine. He respects results above all else. And Boba was EXTREMELY capable! It's great he admired and respected Boba so much. Boba is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. Ever. May the Force be with you too😊

[@thenson1Halo]

Palpatine respected Boba Fett more than Disney did.

[@venkelos6996]

I do miss Prince Xizor being canon. I know it's just nostalgia, but he was cunning enough to juggle other crime lords, and even deal with the Emperor, and Vader, to certain degrees. That also might bring Guri back, and having an alluring woman that could effortlessly snap an unsuspecting Wookie's arm would be great.i guess Dash Rendar, too, especially since Harrison Ford got so tired of reprising Ham Solo. Oh well. Personally, I feel Boba Fert is often overhyped, and I like him less with his miraculous heart of gold that he never had before, or in Legends, but I don't feel that should detract from the skills he certainly does have, and it's right for others to fear, and even respect him.

[@Thaumh]

Everything you said, and, remember that in early versions of the story/plot of Ep. 6, Lucas was seriously considering having Boba be the "Final Boss" for our heroes at one point and it requiring Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewie, the Droids, and maybe even Wedge and/or a new character to take him down.

[@DoomStroller]

Steel sharpens steel. I think it boils down to the fact that Palpatine was very intelligent and could recognize a being with a unique, dangerous and highly practiced skill set with his own motivations

[@TsarPutte91]

Interesting video. Love your work man, keep it up 😉👍 I wonder what the Emperor thought of Durge, I for one considers Durge as the best and the galaxy's greatest, he doesn't care about the credits he does it to feed his bloodlust, and would never leave when things get rough.

[@TKnHappyNess]

Durge was gone by the time of the Empire

[@TsarPutte91]

@@TKnHappyNess Guess that depends on if we are talking Canon or Legends but in both cases, I would say he was still around, in Legends he was around as 'Project Durge' and in the new Canon he is very much around in the new comics.

Boba Fett sounds like Tom Hagen in the godfather 1 , and 2 . Great proformance from the actor in the book of boba Fett and the mandolorian

[@DevilPogoStick]

Original EU Boba is like a combination of Batman and Conan the Barbarian. The dude throughout his entire life in that continuity was outsmarting and killing an absurd amount of people, went toe to toe on some serious combatants, and eventually became leader of the warrior race his father was a part and frankly was pretty damn good at it seeing how he led the Mandalorians to do surprisingly well fighting off the Yuuzhan Vong during the invasion better than other factions.

[@rumsmuggler30]

Palpatine has nothing in particular against aliens. His empire doesn't like them though.

[@rickychen3360]

I think it was because while Cad Bane was impressive in his work, he had no issues using dirty tatics to get what he wants, (cause ya'know boba did have a code of honor to get the credits) plus as stated in the video Jango was able to kill 6 jedi Bare handed while Cad uses implants to help fight Jedi. And I mean I think that around the time of the book of boba fett he was around 71 (his species had a similar lifespan to humans) while boba during that time was around 41 almost twice as young

[@GGBlaster]

This is all very fascinating stuff, but Boba’s change in Book of Boba Fett is kinda odd. Still a man focused on honor and reputation, sure, but he never quite struck me as the kind to assume a leadership position any higher than, say, a bounty hunter squad leader.

[@silverchairsg]

Lord Sidious, he is hard to kill. Unlike a certain short bounty hunter who said he wasn't.

[@wedgeantillies66]

Indeed as if you want an honourable, yet ruthlessly proficient and dangerously deadly bounty hunter for hire, whom can be counted onto generally to fulfil any assignment, whom you gonna call; Bona Fett.

[@jockpackage1770]

that's very important for a free lancer in any field, screw short term profits when you can build/maintain your reputation that will get you work in the future. even if the short term pay out seems like enough to retire on, many who either enjoy the work, have other passions tied up in it, or have a sense of pride in it won't take this kind of deal. it really separates such mercenaries so you know who's more committed to the job. i imagine many Sith would have reason to trick bounty hunters with such a choice to weed out the fools consumed by short term greed. a fun detail that a story set in the time of the rule of 2 era could explore, as they are focused on manipulating things from the shadows while remaining hidden. Sidious having a fascination with those that survive mortal injuries may also result from knowledge of Darth Sion and his immortality from his rage brought on by pain. we know that Nihilus had a sith holocron that survived to this era so Sidious would have more direct knowledge of the Sith Triumverate.

Because in truth he was just a random bounty hunter at first who died rather pathetically on Tatooine, but because kids who saw the movie thought he looked cool and liked the toy, and dressed up as him and grew up liking him as a fan favorite character, Lucas decided to retcon him in the prequels and make him ludicrously and ridiculously central to a lot of the plot.

[@LorteSandalerMedIs]

Because Boba Fett is not a mandalorian! - His father was, but you are not born Mandalorian, nor can you become one as an adult. You have to take the creed when you come of age after growing up in Mandalorian tradition or getting adpoted as very young into a Mandalorian family. and Boba never took the creed, therefore he is no Mandalorian.

[@LorteSandalerMedIs]

@@Senormoola Nope, incorrect. As I said, Boba did not take the creed, therefore he is not Mandalorian.

@@Senormoola Furthermore, The Death Watch were not false Mandalorians, not at all, on the contrary, one could say there were even MORE Mandalorian as they followed the more the old way. They had a different political agenda than their other fellow Mandalorians, but that doesn't make them any less Mandalorian, they all took the creed, and they actually followed the creed to the letter way more than what you refer to as "the real Mandalorians". But they were evil, but so was Mandalorians in the ancient times... over thousand of years, they have matured into what we see Mandalorians as now.
