Boba Fett's son?

Does he have one? I've heard it mentioned in places that he does, either in place of, or in addition to, Ailyn Fett-Vel.

 

Like endless male Dark Lords and Sith, I know just where they can stuff their bigoted male Mando. I want more females in SW, yes, I said that icky word, females.

That means, female Dark Lords. Female Mandos. Female mercs and pirates and droids and female non-Twi'lek aliens on games. Possibly a few fat ones, too, there's only so much beauty you can take. A female Fett is just what we need; hey, maybe even dark skinned as a bonus. Male whites are predominant in this superficial series, you have to admit, lets not mince words.

How about alien Mandos, or is that descrimination in SW?

Can't say I'm adverse to more female aliens, actually, can't say I am. What can you dow ith mere humans? A pair of arms and legs, they're so limited.

 

Boba Fett has alien Mandalorians-in-training with him at Caluula.

 

Once again, I marvel at Excellence's ability to write multiple paragraphs of text, yet say absolutely nothing.

 

I understood what he was saying.

E_S

 

If every species can have a Jedi, why doesn't every species have a Mando?

Yea, it probably wouldn't be that great of an idea...

 

I've got it.

Boba's successor - Mandalore the BOMBAD


Praise the mighty Gungan Mandalorian!

 

The amazing thing is...so did I.

And, remember, the first Mandalorians were aliens. It was they who accepted humans among their numbers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As far as Boba having a son, I agree, it was all a bunch of speculation until it was finally revealed that Boba didn't have a son, but rather, a daughter...the previously mentioned Ailyn Vel.

As an aside, I remember back in the day when folks were still wondering if it was possible that Boba was a woman. And, this was long before the whole "I'm Boba Fett. No, wait...I'm really Ailyn Vel!" rigamarole.

 

Considering the quite heavy emphasis seemingly placed on strong and stable family life in Mandalorian culture, I rather doubt that you'll get your wish anytime soon.

We know that Mandalorian culture appeals to only a very few races. Humans make up the vast majority of them (and no, I highly doubt that the Calibop mentioned in TUF was one of Boba's boys).

Could there be a female Mandalore? A warlady? I suppose so, that might possibly be an interesting possibility to explore, but Boba Fett exemplifies certain male characteristics taken to their extremes, and yes I employed that most highly contentious word in our culture, such as it is, male. A female Mando character ought to be an original creation, with her own unigue personality, not a Fett clone with two X chromosomes

 

That seems pretty stupid, considering that he was played by Jeremy Bulloch and voiced by another male actor.

 

Well, yes...but it didn't keep folks from perpetuating the "Boba Fett is a woman"-theory years ago.

If you'll remember, years after the Star Wars trilogy came out, an armor-clad female bounty hunter was the star of the "Metroid" video games. Even though "Metroid" is not related to Star Wars, I think that's where the whole "Well, if that character can be a girl, is it possible Boba Fett is a girl?"-theory started...

 

lol...Excellence that was amazing

 

Indeed! One of the finest off topic posts I've ever read

 

I'm inclined to disagree. I innocently requested answers regarding whether it was ever verified Boba Fett had a son, not a four-minute rant on "speciesism" and the role of the male human in Mandalorian society, but then I suppose the knee-jerk comes more readily to some than others.

*yawn*

 

Well, Bousch had a manly voice, and we saw who "he" really was. If not for AOTC, Boba could very well have been a female.

BTW, I like the Metroid example.

 

One thing I don't understand is that if Ailyn's father was Boba Fett, a relatively dark-skinned man, and her mother was a Kiffar - who I'm assuming, based on Quinlan (possibly wrongly), have dark-tinted skin also - how did Ailyn end up with skin that looks like she's an albino?

 

Not at all. Sex differences are not limited to facial features or what respective parts contribute to the reproductive process.

For a gravel-voiced alien, I always though Boush sounded very feminine, and her stature, body language, cut of the costume etc, all contribute to the overall (correct) impression that whoever's in that suit is female.

 

Bah! You've seen one bug-eyed, tentacled thing, you've seen 'em all.

 

A more than likely exp[laination is that she wears the mandalorian armour a lot, which copvers her skin and she loses pigment from a lack of sunlight... I'm really stretching it though. And I've never seen a pic of Ailyn. Can somebody maybe post it in this thread?

And to excellent's post about wanting female mandalorians; According to various sources in the EU, a large chunk of the mandalorians during jango's time were female, even though we really didn't see any in the "Open seasons" comic book. My theory is that they left the men to do the gruntwork and they did the less acknowledgable jobs. In my opinion, I bet the females briefed grunts for their missions, did covert-ops missions themselves, were mechanics, provided heavy firepower from space, and were pilots. Although it would be awesome to have more mandalorian females who were major characters in something.

 

I'm quite serious. It's endless male Dark Lords and endless male Mandos. Something needs to be done about that.

I'm not counting Kreia, because none of The Sith Lord trio were actual Dark Lords but just dark lords of their own.

And topaz droids, protocol-class. I mean, come on, lets see soemthing different after 50 book, mmm?

 

Well... if Palpatine can have a three eyed son I suppose there´s nothing wrong with Aylin being Boba´s daughter

 

Quite right. You should give up reading the books and watching the films. That's exactly what needs to be done.
