How does this forum explain away the ep2 conflictions with Boba Fett

Just wondering, I'm sure this is already in here somewhere...alas! Lazy I have become...

 

Simple -- there aren't any. The EU has taken care of this already.

 

So, Boba Fett does join the Stormtrooper corp? Or is Boba Fett just some clone the entire time?

 

There are no contradictions whatsoever. The EU never goes into Fett's childhood, so everything is fine.

 

There are no conflicts as far as I know..but I could be wrong of course

Yes, sorry LukeEatsBacon, also welcome from a newbie.

 

There was no need. None were made cause none were needed. There is no contridictions.

Welcome to the boards!

Give the sentient a break, you guys.

Ok, while Fett's past has always been somewhat convoluted, the addition of George Lucas' backstory in AOTC has allowed the EU writers to finally begin to reconcile Fett's verious histories.

First, the idea that Fett was born and raised on Concord Dawn from Tales of the Bounty Hunters has been given to Jango Fett. Jango lived with his family. His father was a journyman protector, who had taken the job after the former protector, Jaster Mareel, had killed his superior officer.

Jaster Mareel had joined the Mandalorian mercenaries. This group of mercenaries had splintered into two factions, the Death Watch, commanded by a man named Vizsla, which wanted to conquer the galaxy, and the main force of Mandalorians, which remained true to their millennia old tradition of soldiers-for-hire, and was commanded by Jaster Mareel. The two groups fought on Concord Dawn, and ended up killing Jango Fett's family. After the Death Watch was (apparently) defeated, Jaster took Jango under his wing, and became his mentor.

Unfortunately, the Death Watch still remained active. Vizsla and his forces fought the Mandalorians years later on Korda Six, where a Mandalorian named Montross turned traitor battle, and Vizsla killed Jaster Mareel.

The two groups met in battle again on Galidraan. This time, the Jedi, led by Master Dooku, were called in, and every Mandalorian perished--except for Jango.

Jango spent time as a slave to the governor of Galidraan, but was eventually freed two year later when a transport he was serving on was attacked by pirates. He returned to Galidraan, recovered a set of Mandalorian armour, and set out to kill Vizsla. He succeeded at last, and later became a bounty hunter, one of the best in the galaxy.

Many years later, Jango was recruited by Lord Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden. He was one of several bounty hunters hired by the Sith Lord to defeat the leader of the Bando Gora cult. The one to eliminate this leader would be used as the source for the Clone Army planned by his master, Lord Sidious.

Another bounty hunter in Mandalorian armour joined the competition--Montross, wearing the armour of Jaster Mareel. Fett, of course, came out the winner. He also killed Montross, and took Mareel's armour from him.

Jango received a considerable sum for his contributions to the clone army. He also received, upon request, an unaltered clone that he would train as Jaster Mareel's legacy. One who would be called Boba Fett.

As the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back states, the last of the Mandalorian warriors were defeated by the Jedi during the Clone Wars, when Mace Windu slew Jango Fett at the Battle of Geonosis. But Boba survived. He returned to the Slave I, where he would find a last gift from his father: the green/gray armour of Jaster Mareel.

Boba Fett would have many adventures during the Clone Wars, on Bogden, Bespin, Aargau, and many other worlds. During the last days of the Clone Wars, he served with a group of Supercommandos from the planet Mandalore. They were brought into the Wars on Palpatine's side, against the Jedi. Only three Mandalorians survived, Boba Fett, Tobi Dala, and Fenn Shysa.

Not long after, Boba visited his father's homeworld of Concord Dawn, and joined the ranks of the journeyman protectors. He took on the guise of a man named Jaster Mareel, aided, no doubt, by his possession of that warrior's armour. He was exiled from that planet after he killed a fellow protector. Following this incident, he enrolled--or infiltrated--at the Imperial Academy on Cardia. He became a stormtrooper, but deserted after he killed his commanding officer.

Finally, Fett went back to bounty hunting, and he quickly became known as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

I think that covers everything.

1st: Welcome to the Board!

2nd: I don't think there are any conflicts with the charecter. Just a lot of reading to do to learn about this person.

 

Thanks guys. I was just confused by the whole storm-trooper corp thing and the one story in tales of the New Republic. I think there is a Boba Fett story that toys with the idea of Boba Fett turning good...which kinda seems unbelievable now that we know something of his origins.

 

Luke - there are also the following Boba stories in the various Tales books:

"No Disintegrations, Please" - Tales of the New Republic (this may be the one you mean about him turning good)
"A Barve Like That:The Tale of Boba Fett" - Tales From Jabba's Palace (about Fett's time in the sarlacc and his escape)
"Payback:The Tale of Dengar" - Tales of the Bounty Hunters (Dengar's rescue of Fett after he escaped the sarlacc)
"The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett" - Tales of the Bounty Hunters (an overview of Fett's life and his encounters with Han Solo)

And of course there is the "Bounty Hunter Wars" trilogy ('Mandalorian Armor', 'Slave Ship', and 'Hard Merdchandise'). It's gotten a bit of a pasting in other threads but I like it a lot.
