Luke Skywalker

During the faculty yard at break time, me and the rest of the fellows liked to play Star Wars. This was following the 'first' trilogy - I'm not that young. Though almost all of the good blokes needed to be redneck privateer Han Solo, or at a pinch, Luke Skywalker, I usually wished to be lone wolf bounty killer, Boba Fett. I was not a bad boy - otherwise I would've been Darth Vader, I would have liked to be Boba Fett, and have a Boba Fett costume.

In the early trilogy, we met Boba Fett on the bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer.

Do you remember the good men being chased by Darth and his fleet, and they've the bright notion of hiding behind the coms tower of the command ship. Clearly , each star destroyer jettisons its junk ( to coin a phrase ) before entering hyperspace, and that is when the men plan their escape. Unbeknownst to them Vader has grown bored with the shortcoming of his uninspired imperial goons to capture the fleeing chums and has instead employed a bunch of down and dirty bounty hunters to do the job - enter Fett.

Destiny plays its variable hand, and Fett gets to take Han Solo back to his chairperson, snot-nosed mega-maggot baron, Jabba the Hutt, after Lando's betrayal leaves Solo living up to his name as a 3d wall poster. As we all know from A New Hope, Solo owed Hutt a wad of hypercash, which did not make Jabba a chuffed chappy. Jabba's raucous laughter shortly comes to a sudden halt and the galactic do-gooders hatch a plot to flee which leaves Jabba strangled by small scantily-clad galactic royalty, Princess Leia. Just as importantly, our hero Boba Fett whooshes to his ( possible ) death in the gullet of a desert Sarlacc.

The prequels made later show us that adorable Boba Fett is the child of Kiwi clone founder, Jango Fett. Then young Boba is left with a large number of father-figure issues for his shrink to work out, as Jedi bosses turn father into Bantha fodder.

Originally, science-fiction seer George Lucas saw sketches of Boba Fett cast as Darth Vader. After countless rewrites, Vader developed into a dark lord 2nd only in power and terrible breath to the Emperor himself. Boba's suave and warped personality stayed, but in a smaller role as a mercenary.

The smartest thing about the Boba Fett costume is the application armor. Battle-scarred and beaten, the hotch-potch of armored parts looks hand-made on a range of different planets. Though Boba is handy with an old-fashioned galactic blaster, his multi-functional armor contains innumerable goodies , for example close-combat weapons, and resources ,eg grappling gear, rocket pack, use belt, and armored spikes, in case he should fall from a smooth, rounded surface.

Boba Fett is really preferred, that he even has a name for his very own fans - Fettishists. The greatest Fett site online has over one thousand unique visits every day. This shows the success of the personality that could be a hard and suave anomaly, Boba Fett.
