Why Boba Fett CLEANED His Armor Now but Not in Original Trilogy! - Star Wars Explained

The latest episode of The Mandalorian showed us a brand new Boba Fett sporting a re-furbished Armor but why so late, in Empire Strikes Back his suit is worn down.

[@HaylonHarroo87]

Not even. The mandalorian is what happens when the storytellers have been fans of the source material from childhood. Favreau and Filoni grew up with Star Wars and it likely inspired their drive to be film makers. And it shows. JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson are fans of themselves. And it shows.

[@HaylonHarroo87]

@@aramilslaysdemons5170 ur not wrong about the research, but I think the research only helps bolster knowledge they already acquired, and their research is probably more extensive cuz their love for the source material is different.

@@HaylonHarroo87 JJ has also been a fan of Star Wars since childhood. From my understanding, everything JJ has done in his career was just to get the opportunity to work on Star Wars.

He's a man who watched his father murdered before his eyes, He's fought literally since childhood, He's becomed a hardened man, cold and calculating, but seeing another Mandalorian, in his pristine armor, much like his father's, and seeing this man basically fighting for his son, much like Jango would have done for him, has to have an emotional impact, even if it's never spoken about, but there would be a bit of understanding of what being a Mandalorian would, and should be. Holding your honor to the example of what's in front of you. Maybe Boba couldn't save his father, but he can help this Mandalorian, save his son, and spare another his pains. We're literally looking at a reborn Boba, a Boba Fett with an actual mission that means something personal to him. Not just a cold Bounty. The man with a personal stake, will always fight harder than a paid outsider. I think we're gonna see Boba a whole lot more flushed out. It's an interesting premise.

This is 10000000% spot on and it’s exactly what the writers intended. Boba knows what’s it’s like to lose someone. Seeing Mando lose his child reminded him of his trauma. He knows Jango would react the same way if he were abducted.

[@ScathingMobile]

That was my thought. When he had the armour from "new" (or inherited from his dad) he knew what condition it was in. He knew he could trust it's integrity as he knew what it had been through. However many years or decades of being separated from it, and knowing a previous wearer had used it in combat, he can't be sure if it would still protect him. If he wants to inspect it, he has to clean it. The question is, as Boba goes on, whether he'll continue to maintain the appearance of his armour or let it regain its patina.

Additionally, it appears that getting paint to stick to beskar metal isn’t terribly easy, and the special paint necessary might not be easy to find (or even the chemistry necessary well known outside of native mandalorians). The evidence for this is even after a fresh paint job, Boba’s armor already has paint chipped away in spots (the paint didn’t bond to the metal). So it’s plausible that Boba did occasionally touch up the paint on his old armor, but it would often chip off so readily that it always looked to be in a state of neglect.

I think you were right about the "Battle Scars" but that was before he lost his armor. To a Mandalorian, even an unofficial one, losing one's armor is a great shame. All those battles, all those victories would mean nothing now. My take is that he refurbished his armor because A) it probably really needed it after the Sarlacc Pit, and B) it's a symbolic gesture he's starting over. Fresh start, fresh paint to be marred by his battles.

"I'm sure they will make up for it in the finale." *Sigh* I guess there is always the Book of Boba Fett to look forward to

[@DarthDestructusTheSithLord]

Fun Fact: even the actor playing Boba Fett had stated that it felt right putting on the armor again and stepping into the role of a Fett.

[@lewisgambles1878]

I think its because he met Mando, he's probably helped show him the way and in turn helped to repair his armour.

[@juanestebanrodriguez9057]

The armor looks extremely good with the new paint job, I even like it more than Din Djarins one

[@chamoo232]

It's a little bit too clean but at least it doesn't look like it was colored with sharpie by a kid anymore.

[@SurrealNirvana]

I think Fett seeing the zealous respect Mando has for his own armor is what did it. He sees what he always envisioned his father as in Mando, and with it a new found respect for his people, and in turn, his armor.

[@berighteous]

The reason he repainted it was only because it looked like hell when he got it back.

[@Deathstaroya]

realised how important it was too him after losing it etc - also changing his ways after being in-the sarlac

[@nivekian]

I think when he heard of a Mandalorian on Tatooine in season 1, it "awoke" a part of him, to reconnect with his own past glory and hearing things in a spice bar like "Is that Boba Fett?". Then he found Feneck tracking Mando, and after seeing him work with Cobb Vanth, it made him realize Mando is the real deal.

Because he got tired of looking like a bum especially with Mandalorian all shiny and polished up.

[@DK-gy7ll]

I agree. As much a I liked the battle-scarred look in the original trilogy, by S2 of the Mandalorian that armor was looking pretty rough and scratched up. He looked less like a badass with battle scars than somebody who'd had the s*** kicked out of him too many times. Better to re-paint it and let it get some fresh scars that were actually earned.

[@crazzimal6424]

I like to think that Din told Boba that he should take more pride in his armour, and Boba listened to him

[@chamoo232]

The one thing missing from the show is more interaction between characters. Last episode could have used a 5 min at the start of them all travelling and talking instead of just already picking up Mayfeld.

[@robbysanta5924]

@@chamoo232 facts I wouldn’t mind if there was extra ten minutes of them just talking on slave 1 about whatever

[@clonedelta22]

I think there are 3 main reasons Boba cleaned up his armour. 1.) It was a lot more scuffed and scratched when he got it back than when he had it in Return Of The Jedi. 2.) He is travelling with a mandalorian who he knows has reservations about letting him keep the armour anyway and the only thing keeping Din from trying to reclaim it is Boba treating it as a precious family heirloom. 3.) It is much easier to create the spare suits, toys, CGI models and art, etc with a clean design rather than having to match specific battle damage perfectly.

[@doch1228]

I think Boba wanted to honor his father's memory and regain the respect he had long ago.

[@gf1006]

I feel like its a new start for him. He's wiping his slate clean. As well as that the marks lost their meaning with them not being his or his father's.

[@kd5nrh]

This was my thought; at least some of the scuffs came from Cobb Vanth wearing it, so it wasn't an entirely true accounting of his own life anymore. The part I do wonder about, though, is that if Din Djarin was able to find a guy in Mandalorian armor fairly quickly, and Fett certainly found out about him having it pretty soon after he got it, surely Fett had heard about Vanth having it. Why didn't he just take it back at any point in the few years it was there on Tatooine with him? Only thing I can think of is that maybe by the time he found out, he respected what Vanth was doing with it, and decided to let him hang onto it until it was needed again.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@kd5nrh boba is clearly a man with a moral code now. Someone who possibly regrets the life style he had for years. When he saw that the armor was being used to protect people perhaps he was ok with it.

[@Fenris30]

Jango wore Beskar Armor, Boba's Armor was said to be regular Durasteel mixed with Scavenged Beskar parts and was a work in progress. He blew up Jango's helmet trying to kill Mace Windu.

[@johnphoenix1175]

I like your theories but I'd add to them that when he got the armor back it had new battle marks that weren't from his battles. But the main reason for cleaning it is that it reflects his fresh start with the armor.

[@brandonroy117]

Mando was the one who painted and repaired it as a thank you to Fett. He even used the beskar staff to rebuild some parts. They stopped by the armorer offscreen for a refit.

[@skylerrichmond1555]

It’s more likely he put some kind of polymer to repair the damage the acid did to it

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

Before the Sarlacc pit it was just a bit scratched/old. After Sarlacc pit was way more damaged because of the Sarlacc acid (one of the books mentioned someone found a discarded armor with acid damage. Guess that's where Timothy Olyphant picked it up)

[@thewrightguy4868]

Yes, I was wonder why he did this

[@enriqueperezarce5485]

If your wondering what the dent is on his helmet it’s from Cad Bane when they had a duel which resulted the same QuickDraw speed and getting both headshotted but Boba’s helmet has a lot of beskar while Cad Bane well….just had a hat.

[@Killdoomrodar]

The fact that someone else wore his armor getting scratches on it. This could be why he cleaned it. The armor was not scratched because of his actions but someone else’s.

[@TheDrWill]

In learning how vulnerable he was without the armor, I'm sure he's more deadly than ever before

[@LeAndre_McCoy]

He pinned down and disarmed a Mandalorian, without his armor. He's fine.

[@SouthernGentleman55]

I like it. I also think to kinda build on your points, this is kinda like him being reborn. He's spent time away from the main society and the galaxy at large, so i imagine he has a new outlook on life. And by cleaning his armor and refurbishing it, he is washing away his old life and the way he used to be. He used to be a servant of the Empire. Now he's a force against it's remnants

Keep in mind some other dude who doesn't know much about the armor was kicking around in it and not taking care of it. It was originally a matter of "this needs allot of work" and he might as well do the job right, especially with Din Jarin walking around in pristine gear.

[@forcommenting1017]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, he took his armor for granted before, but on his quest to get it back he probably picked up paints and such as a promise to himself.

[@bezzie9]

[@LordelX]

“This is no spice dream.” After getting involved with Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett became a spice addict. He was basically a junkie. Junkies don’t have exceptional hygiene. Some time in the Sarlacc Pit helped him get over his addiction. Now he’s been through the 12 step Sarlacc program and has really cleaned up.

[@ShadowReaper-pu2hx]

If you’re nothing without the suit then you shouldn’t have the suit. That’s a Spiderman: Homecoming reference.
