We call this "wishful thinking". I am talking about your reasoning.

[@KryyssTV]

I have to agree. Boba was always very close to his father but due to Jango being murdered by Mace he ended up being raised by criminals rather than a Mandalorian parent. Since then Boba has faced his own mortality when he nearly died in the sarlaac and is now a middle-aged man looking towards his autumn years. That is enough for most people to take a good hard look at their life and the choices made, let alone someone who had a brush with death. I think Boba is starting down a road to embrace his father's values as I think he recognises that he isn't the kind of man Jango would be proud to call his son.

[@TK421-53]

Cynical, but true. You easily double your action figures, not counting special editions. Entertaining to watch these lore explanations, but as many of you I grew up with the original Star Wars (Episode IV a New Hope for you younglings) and this whole “epic” was just made up as they wrote the screenplays...deal with the fact that we are not looking at something like The Lord of the Rings, Dune or even Game of Thrones (or any epos that was committed to paper before being filmed). Boba Fett was a cool action figure, but IMO he always felt disappointing in the movies - a few stiff lines in The Empire Strikes Back, some clumsy fighting and death in The Return of the Jedi. He did not even have a name in The Empire Strikes Back - not sure he’s in the *original* credits or not. So in the end he was a bounty hunter with a cool suit that became iconic. I’d be tempted to say that the prequels with their Clone Troopers and Jango Fett gave Boba Fett the real boost in popularity that he enjoys today, that and Cosplay. Again, I loved my big Boba Fett action figure back in the early eighties, but I can’t understand the hype that this creates with fans. Still enjoy the whole Star Wars experience, but guess growing up does affect your outlook on things. Take it as you will but I thought Rogue One was the best Star Wars since, well, Star Wars.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@lukemellinger339]

Yeah, I’ve thought about that as well. But the Star Wars galaxy is pretty big, which might explain it. Plus he was somewhat irrelevant since he supposedly died several years ago. Also, many characters had never heard of Jedi, despite them being an extremely prominent part of Star Wars lore. Of course, this is partially due to the empire wiping out their records, but still.

[@erikfantasia9985]

Even so, it's a galaxy. Galaxies are so immensely, overwhelmingly huge it's ridiculous. That's why a generation in less than half a decade could legit think the Jedi were never a thing. Think about all the stuff and people you don't know about or question the validity of on a place as small as a planet. Now amplify that to literally thousands of planets.

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.

Since the tuskens were keen on survival in the dunes, Boba may have adapted to using their equipment while combing the sand for his armor so he could bare the heat
