there was a rumor way back that boba fett was luke's father
>>
>>64201862
he became the equivalent of a meme. I think that meme cartoon, "the simpson family" also referenced boba fett or some shit, next thing you know he became sort of a god
>>
>>64201862
its a meme, you dip
>>
he was the original "obscure SW background character that somehow has a name"
>>
>>64202970
who is the current one?
>>
>>64203204

TR-8R.

Don't you even browse /tv/?
>>
>>64203235
isn't he dead?
>>
He outsmarted and captured Han Solo.

Therefore - cool.

It's a pity he suffered a comedy death in the next film. Cool blown.
>>
He had no funny lines. Darth Vader respected him somewhat.

He had a fucking cool spaceship.

There is no real mystery to his popularity.
>>
>>64203851
>There is no real mystery to his popularity.

the problem is him having so little screen time and lines
>>
I wonder who Boba Fetts child will be in the new star wars, since no new character can exist without being offspring from a previously existing character
>>
>>64203898
I fucked your mom only once, but she said I was her best.

quantity =/= quality
>>
>>64203993
>that analogy

Ugh...
>>
>>64203985
I kek'd pretty hard, thanks anon
>>
No nonsense, effective bounty hunter with cool costume design.

Plus, right after we finished patting Han on the back for being so clever, we learn he got out smarted by Boba fett
>>
>>64201862
his toy made him legendary when a kid died asphyxiated by it

Cool character design
Talks back to Darth Vader
Vader gives him what he wants instead of threatening him
>>
>>64203753
Yes he's dead and they just made up a name for him. It's a pretty sad reddit meme.
>>
>>64207123
This
Darth "I'll strangle you for shit that you have no control over" Vader immediately offers Boba compensation if something goes wrong with Han.
>>
Jango > Boba

Prove me wrong

Because he's toyetic, i.e. he was made to sell toys.

In 1978 he was designed for an action figure and holiday cartoon special to appeal to children. They gave him a rocket launcher, a blaster, a jet pack, a flamethrower, a wrist dart, knee darts, unique armor, a special helmet and cape. This was before a written word of his character was even put on a scripted page.

>4chan thinks it's urbane and edgy for liking le mysterious badass character
>literally falling for the third most obvious merchandise-bait character after vader and r2d2

I will also never understand this
>>
>>64201862
The B8 is strong with this one.
>>
>>64207297
Jango didn't kill Padme himself like a little pussy bitch.
>>
Because he's a bad ass nigger.
>>
>>64207415
>no Blacked Series prototype Boba

Shit collection
>>
Same as a Captain Phasma he was a big part of the marketing campaign for Empire when Star Wars hype was at it's height and there was shitload of fan speculation and hype about his character.

He also talks man to man with Darth Vader unlike anyone else in the series so that's something.

To be honest he's fucking baller in Empire.
>>
>>64201862
He looks just like Jango Fett
>>
>>64207415

I cant believe his first appearance was in that fucking christmas special

wait, is /tv/'s next contrarian trick to defend the x-mas special? I'd like to see that so you all give yourselves braindamage trying it
>>
>>64207123
>Talks back to Darth Vader
No he fucking doesn't, we've been through this hundreds of times.
>>
>>64201862

first time spergnerds from the 80s saw something cool
>>
I've always wondered why Boba Fett never cleaned that bird shit off his helmet.
