    I don't think one can speak of a unified Boba personality in the old EU - I definitely remember there being some stories with a more heroic Boba, especially when he was the protagonist. And even without being heroic, there were enough of him being honorable and professional that the sadist killer Boba of the new marvel comics almost felt like a deliberate take that at his old characterisation(s). Plus, the whole weird puritan Boba Fett of one of the old stories.

    Heck, even in the clone wars show alone sometimes Boba was violent and ruthless, and other times he was very honorable and even somewhat compassionate.

    Presumbaly Boba has multiple different takes on his character based on the knowledge at the time. There was the boba before the PT. There was the Boba after the PT where his backstory came into place. And there was the added backstory era with the Clone Wars show adding abit more to him as we see his early life moving into bounty hunting..

    A good question is: why do some fans want to watch a sadistic hunting and killing machine go around hunting and killing people, across a whole season of TV?

    I'm fascinated by how Boba started simply as an anonymous bounty hunter and has since evolved to a clone, to a disowned Mandalorian, to a Tusken, to an aspiring crime lord.

    The man with no name has become the man of many faces.

    That's a dumb question.

    For the same reason people enjoy movies like Kick-*** and John Wick. Or read comics like Punisher and Suicide Squad.

    Cause its fun. If you don't like that kind of entertainment, that's your thing, but don't patronize or belittle people who enjoy it.

    I’m confused. Why are you patronized or belittled by a question being asked (as opposed to a judgment being passed)?

    So it looks like the mythosaur skull that's been on Boba's shoulder for ~40 (real) years might become an important plot point.

    I could be wrong, but I think "a whole season of TV" was the point of the question.

    The whole point of Boba's popularity was based around the mystery, then the EU added a unique moral code. Boba is the SW version of DC's Slade Wilson, the first great anti-hero, he's bad but you like him even though you're not supposed to....

    You’re right.
    I just saw Din Djarin cut a bunch of dudes (and lots of meat) in half with a darksaber. It was brutal. But to watch him doing stuff like that across a whole season of TV for no reason except for money would likely be trying. I could watch something like that as a justified revenge story (which we saw a little bit of after the Tuskens we’re killed), but not just a bounty hunter collecting bounties all season. I don’t think.

    The direction this could be going in considering Boba has yet to commit any bad deed is the development into a Journeyman Protector, in fact since he escaped the Sarlacc he's only killed bad guys. This a space western and so far the story matches up with The Magnificent Seven and to a lessor degree The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral/Tombstone, especially when you consider there's going to be a big battle in the final episode.

    For this reason I was half-expecting a Fenn Rau appearance, and for Boba to take on Jango's former role after his gotra fell apart. Not looking likely for Season One, at least.

    It has but I think the issue is in the title - maybe is should have been called 'Factions of Tatooine' or something like that.
