I've yet to see that but goddamn. Lol.

It could've been a temporary hideout, until the station was finished.

Padme Amidala or Shimi Skywalker(great names, BTW). Take your pick. Shit, you should rename this thread Lamest SW death. There's plenty of them.

BD is $16.99 on Amazon. Well worth it.

How about Padme? She died of a broken heart with no will to live...despite having two twin babies to care for.

Boba fett has to be the most overrated character ever.... was it that he was a big character in the comics or books?

Has to be the biggest blunder Lucas made in the whole series. A mother of newborn twins has no will to live? I mean I get that he can't redeem Vader if he kills her in cold blood but at least have Palpatine kill her.

Agreed, but that was also the only way Curtis would do the movie. It was her idea, bad as it was.

No, there were no comics or books featuring Boba Fett before the movies. People just basically latched onto him because he looks cool and has a jetpack.

I never got all the praise for the character, either. He only shows up briefly in "Empire", and gets killed off quickly in "Jedi". Lucas later put him into the SE of "A New Hope", but again, it was minor. None of the OT ever explained why he hated Solo, or anything about his history. Its similar to how Vader even found out about Luke being his son to start with.

I found that bit hilarious and appropriate for that asshat. Though in real life he took several days to die from infection due to his burns.

David Carradine in real life.

Shit got too real and serious for me here now.

puford pusser in final chapter walking tall.

Blofeld's previous demise in Diamonds is just as lame. Both in pre-credits and at end. This is personal revenge after all. Should be cold blooded. The shot to the head of Blofeld's double in the White House penthouse is more along the lines of how the real Blofeld should have been killed.

If you're going to do the old "choke and stroke," always - ALWAYS - employ the buddy system.

Maybe he became a cult favorite since his action figure wasn't initially available in stores. You had to send in proofs of purchase from other figures to get a Boba Fett.

There are several factors that led to Boba Fett being so popular. But these factors only work when grouped together. First, Boba Fett has some unexplained history with Han Solo. But so did Greedo and no one cares about him except to bitch that Lucas changed it so that Greedo shot first. Second, he has a pretty cool looking costume (though it's mainly the helmet that sells the look). And third, Vader addressed him directly to ensure that Boba Fett behaved. This is the big one. Why would Vader even need to tell Fett anything when a simple force choke would do? And then Boba Fett's response of "as you wish" was only missing a shrug. Seriously, it's like Boba Fett said "whatever" and shrugged his shoulders at Vader. Who does that? No one but Boba Fett.

Put that all together and you got yourself an intruiging character with little to no development.

That was the clincher, as you said, not just what DV says but how he says it and BFs reaction.

Boba Fett was obviously always meant to be a major character, since all of the stormtroopers are fellow clones of his father. Lucas had all of this planned from the beginning. Its not like he simply shoehorned random things into the prequels!

For me, Boba Fett jumped the shark in the re-release of Episode IV, where Lucas wasn't content with just adding him into a scene, he actually had the camera linger on the character while he broke the fourth wall and mugged for the camera.

Well in hindsight when you can watch the movies whenever you want it is easy to say that. However, at the time you had to wait three years between Star Wars and Empire and in between that time there was a Holiday special that featured him in a cartoon and a new figure of him around 1978. He was one of the few new Star Wars characters that kids knew about and could buy between movies at a time when kids and others were looking for anything new regarding Star Wars.

Which makes his limited time and horrible death in VI all the stranger. Lucas had to know his popularity at the time yet didn't really write anything for him to do after delivering Han to Jabba.
