    No, because in the story Fett is thinking to himself.

    Maybe Fett/ Mereel just hit his head and thinks of things that never happened. After all, a bounty hunter can be a risky career.

    Going off on a bit of a tangent here......

    Has anyone heard of a punk band called 'Who is Jaster Mereel?'
    I stumbled across the name while roaming the web, but I can't find any sample MP3s of their music.
    Who are they similar to???

    Actually, that's just a theory. Fett mentions that he's unable to procreate in TOTBH, therefore his son is ether adopted or cloned.


    He can't have kids because the Sarlacc screwed with his genetics. I thought the TotBH said that..?

    Thus, we don't know when "Outbid but never outgunned" took place -- so long as it's prior to RotJ, it still fits.

    Guys, add this: McCallum has said (I believe at the Celebration) that Boba'd be in Episode 3.

    Excellent. So, some of my predictions for Ep3 have a chance of being true. :)

    OK, after Jango was killed the name Fett probally didn't sit well with people, plus Obiwan knew about Boba. He probally changed his name and went to the corporate sector till he was old enuff to start bounty hunting then changed his name back because all the Jedi were dead and noone remembered Jango or Boba Fett.

    Stick that in your piupe and smoke it.

    Where does it mention he can't procreate?
    By TOTBH, does that mean the short story anthologies?

    Yes, TOTBH would be the anthology.

    And Fett can procreate- he has a child already.

    Going back to the timeline...where does it say Boba Fett died on Sernpidal?
    'Characters' has nothing
    on that - just that he hasn't been seen
    since the Yuuzhan Vong invasion...

    Evidently, A new mandalorian force was started actually. One created by fenn shysa, boba fett, and tobi dala most likely. We know that this new mandalorian force was wiped out all except those 3 during the clone wars. Later on Fenn Shysa and Tobi Dala, created a new group of mandalorians as can be seen in marvel if you have read them(or you will see as soon as those reprints are released).

    Right. Though this second group was wiped out by the Imperials, not the Jedi.

    And...it probably wasnt founded by Fett. He was a mere child. He did join it though, at the tail end of the Clone Wars.

    In the new comic series, Jango Fett: Open Seasons, we find out that Jaster Mereel is the leader of the Mandalorians, a reformed killer. He takes care of Jango Fett after Jango's family was killed by Vizsla, a barbarian who split from Jaster Mereel and the Mandalorians. Jaster Mereel had similar looking armor to Boba Fett. Somehow, over time, Boba Fett's past and Jaster Mereel's past became intertwined. Jaster Mereel was a Journeyman Protector, then Jango's father became it after Jaster formed the Mandalorians. Seeing as Fett and Mereel were both legendary and had the same type of armor, their pasts could easily get confused, especially for people as mysterious as them.

    Well,according to Tales of he Bounty Hunters,he defimnitely used Jaster Mereel as an alias once.

    If not,he's crazy.

    Yep when fett went around under the alias of jaster mareel(based on his father's mentor), he wanted to be a stormtrooper at the imperial academy. The next paragraph after he is exiled and after it says he spent some time as a stormtrooper, it then says he took up bounty hunting.

    We know that stormtroopers and the imperial academy didn't exist before TPM. Imperial Academy was known as the republic academy pre-empire according to the "Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook". So obviously it wasn't the same Jaster Mareel, and sets the story post empire's creation. Since we know that boba fett remembers that past, then it had to have taken place(and that he used an alias) or he is mentally insane. We know that fett occasionally uses alias for his missions from a couple of sources, the han solo trilogy where he uses a disquise, as well as "Twin Engines of Destruction".

    There is another theory that boba fett may have actually been on a hunt when he took on the alias of Jaster Mareel, to kill the journeyman protector. Then later, he joined the stormtroopers for yet another hunt to find evidence and take out another officer. If they were indeed hunts, who hired him for the hunts is not known.

    The creation of a second Jaster Mereel existing earlier in the chronology than the Boba "Jaster Mereel" Fett does not preclude Boba Fett from using Jaster Mereel as a name.

    Why people think that Boba is no longer Jaster Mereel, when TotBH is pretty clear about his use of that name, is beyond me. ?[face_plain]

    Two different people used the same name. Jango's mentor is named Jaster Mereel. Jango's son is named Jaster Mereel, for a time.

    But, at the beginning of the TotBH, they say, "There are many LEGENDS of Boba Fett." Fett himself never said he was Jaster Mereel.

    "But, at the beginning of the TotBH, they say, "There are many LEGENDS of Boba Fett."

    PPOR.

    "Fett himself never said he was Jaster Mereel."

    Yet the omniscient narrator who told the story said that at one time Boba Fett did go under the name Jaster Mereel, and became a stormtrooper soon after it. Sorry omniscient narrators are not "legend writers". Plus elements of the story set the story after the rise of the empire, like the existance of the imperial academy and stormtroopers. It wasn't the only omnicient narrator to know the story as well, in that the narrator of han solo trilogy knew about it as well.

    "Could Jaster's Legacy have something to do with Jaster Mereel, the name commonly believed to have been Boba Fett's original moniker? WE can neither confirm or deny such theories,but rumors are now circulating that Jaster Mereel could have been one of Boba Fett's earlier assumed names. Not his given name" -Gamer #10, page 113

    Assumed Name = Alias

    Why is it so hard, for people to believe, that "boba fett has and can take on aliases", when the evidence that he does it occasionally has already been shown in existing EU and other articles.
