Comics Star Wars (Marvel) #6: Skywalker Strikes, part 6 (of 6)

Wonder if this series will be the one to lift the helmet off Boba's head and see his face? We know he looks like his father but surely there'll be differences? Does he have scars? Is he bald? Does he have long hair? Does he even have a nose? These are questions I NEED answering

 

Is he even Boba fett or cad Bane dressed as Boba, so none of Boba's EU will work because Cad Bane is Duros and contradicts the EU? Do we have two Boba's in chalmuns cantina to compare this Boba too?

 

I hope that this happens somewhere in the OT era material of the new canon. And then when he takes off his helmet and his face looks like Jango Fett we can finally put all the "OT Boba Fett is not the clone Fett but an imposter who had killed the clone" to a rest.

 

Because having Temuera Morrison re-record Fett's lines from ESB for the present canonical DVD/Bluray/Digital release still isn't enough for some people.

 

In the new canon, do we know if Boba survives the Sarlacc pit like he did in the old EU.

 

I can't stand Boba's new lines in the DVD versions. Even if he is Jango's clone, I just think it was unnecessary. The original voice actor was so badass. Same for the guy that played him in the Holiday Special.

 

Thing is, Tem could have done a much better job than he did. He's actually a rather versatile voice actor when it comes down to it, he did great work with Jango in Bounty Hunter and Boss in Republic Commando. But the lines in the ESB SE reek of being the only take. If it's like the new Vader lines, he might have even recorded them over a phone. There's no chance to get into character, and without multiple takes the inflections are all wrong. I'm past minding that Tem did it, I'm more angry at how lackluster the results are.

Boba has never had a consistent characterization. He's been a cold, emotionless hunter, a man only in it for the credits, a psychopath, a renegade even other bounty hunters fear, etc. AotC made it worse, certainly, but it was hardly the first time his character was inconsistent. Lest we forget, a whole book worth of him was retconned to be his daughter because of how out of character he was. There doesn't seem to be anything majorly wrong with Boba in this book (at least from the snippets I've seen not having read it) aside from his third-person presentation of himself. Which does make him come off a bit like a poser, but that's a development for one of the anthology films to decide, I'm sure.

 

Put Captain Solo in the Cargo hold is the only line by TM that I really like. Though the original version is still that bit better imo.

 

On a recent ForceCast episode they were talking about how the original voice acting by Jason Wingreen was much better than the re-recorded lines by Temura. I've honestly never paid attention enough to notice, but I'll have to rewatch the films soon and compare to the original

 

He did.

It is quite literally phoned in.

 

I don't care what lucasfilm does. Fetts original voice is far superior to morrisons.

 

Am I alone in hoping that Boba never takes off the mask? It's a part of his character, it distinguishes him from his father.

 

My head-canon is that Boba actually speaks to himself all the time and makes horrible puns (see Shadows of the Empire, "That's what I call disarmed!"). We just don't hear or read it because he usually has muted the microphone.

 

does he contradict the EU

Thats the real question right there.

 

I've only ever known Tem as Boba's voice, so there wasn't another voice as far as I care. Same with Monkey Lady Palapatine and Hayden Ghost

 

Just finished Star Wars #6. I had to play catch up on all the comics. I loved the introduction to Han's wife. Cuz really Han is like 30 in a new hope. He had to have had some drunk night and got married to a bounty hunter/smuggler friend at some point lol. Gives Han a interesting background. So far I like this comic more than DV. But it's close. I don't like Leia, Kanan is okay, Lando I haven't tried yet. Can't wait for Star Wars #7!

 

Yeah, I've heard speculation that they got married in Space Vegas. You're actually one of the few people that refer to Kanan as "okay." a lot of people think it's the best (Which, considering it's closest to the prequel era, it probably is, I'm waiting for trades to read everything)

 

I'm just not that interested in his character, so I probably haven't gave it a fair chance.
