Yeah, lets get all hung up on the spelling of fictional characters names. It's super important and totally worth throwing a fit over. So how bout that Chubakka!?

Vader handed him Han Solo so it's not like we saw him catch him. And the one time Fett has to actually get anything done he falls all over himself.
At least when Phasma gets into a fight she doesn't immediately fly into a wall before taking a single shot. They are both crap people in cool looking armor but at this point Fett has a worse track record.
Yeah instead she gets shoved down into a garbage disposal instead in her first appearance. With directors who know what to do properly with the character and still yet have to make her interesting outside of the EU.

Hey I cant spell real things let alone fantasy ones!
Never heard of putting tapioca in tea before, that's just odd.
I highly recommend milk tea with boba. Blended with ice is great, but on the rocks is fine. Boba in coca cola is surprisingly good. The tapioca balls absorb the flavor, then you suck them up through the oversized straw and chew them. Swallowing them straight is an experience I've heard described as "vomiting in reverse".

Yup. Crap character in cool armor. Again, amazingly, despite being dumped in the trash she STILL has a better track record than Fett.

So we're all on for a buddy comedy with Boba Fett, Darth Maul and Captain Phasma?
Can this kookie trio finish the Kessel Run in under 12 Parsecs without getting eaten, cut in half or tossed down a trash chute? Find out this summer in Dude Where's My D74 Star Hopper!

Boba Fett does get a few shots off. First in Empire strikes back at Cloud City where he takes a potshot or two at luke while escaping. Not to mention Boba Fett is the one who tracks them to Bespin, gets the word out to Vader, and then the ambush happens.
He also gets a few shots off in the Skiff fight before dying, though mostly ineffective, binds luke for a bit with grappling rope, few shots at luke's skiff later and then Han smacks him in the back.  Not the most glamorous way to show him thats for sure! But I'd still consider him actually more effective if by virtue he didn't betray the people who hired him while also tracking the heroes effectively. Which is more then Captain "Save my own skin" Phasma who decided to turn off the one thing protecting the not deathstar from being attacked which allowed for the First Order's defeat.

If you tied Boba Fett's story into the Mandalorian story from Clone Wars and Rebels, I think you could manage something decent - He tries to come to Mandalore to connect with the stories of the glorious warrior heritage his father told him about, only to find out that Jango was an exile and the path of Mandalorian society is going in the opposite direction.
But then, Star Wars has already done the "tragic fall" plot - twice - so it's a bit unnecessary.

Even though Boba Fett has long been one of my favorite SW characters, I really don't want to see him in a stand-alone film as the protagonist. I really think he works better as just a cameo, albeit, I like a larger cameo than the special edition epIV digitally inserted walk-by. That's why I suggested having him in the Obi-wan film. I really like the idea of Obi-wan getting caught up in a tussle between the local inhabitants and so thugs. Western style like the "man with no name" films. Boba Fett could be some hired muscle for them while between jobs for Jabba. Fett would not be the main baddie of the movie, but could have a decent fight scene with Obi-wan. There would be a need for Fett not to recognize Obi-wan as a Jedi, but with his grizzled exile-look, limited use of the force and lack of using his lightsaber, that could easily be achieved. It fits the overall timeline and we know Fett would be on Tattooine from time-to-time working for Jabba. -

I still think that after Han died, we should see Chewbacca have a long delayed homecoming to his family, and watch the family drama as they all come to learn to love each other again and get past the emotional barriers they have built up due to their abandonment by Chewie.
Compelling stuff.

But Jango, and by extension Boba, is not a Mandalorian....

Jango may have been a Mandalorian, the main thing is that New Mandalore at the time valued peace, and pacifism and disavowed him because he was an open bounty hunter and killer compared to the image they wanted to set out.. Given that many Mandalorians (mainly of the Death Watch) disagreed with the whole pacifistic government, who knows how such would've turned out if they hadn't been trying to hide their old war past.

I can agree to that!
Weekly planet put it really well.
Fett is the Inspector Gadget of SW characters. He has a lot of gear that goes off at random and he blunders his way through it all to fame and fortune. "You've done it again Boba! You are the best!" "I AM the best!"
And then the chips are down and he actually has to step up and get stuff done and he rocket packs into a wall and falls directly into a monster. Great. Thanks Inspector Gadget.

That, or for a period after the Clone Wars, there was genuinely fearsome Bounty Hunter by that name, but no one ever saw his face... He unfortunately met a sticky end, but some random idiot found the armour and for duration of the OT-era is just trading off the reputation that that mask gives him without being at all competent...
The irony being that for all the stick he gets for just being an unnecessary origin story for Boba, Jango Fett is a far more effective combatant. Ok, he gets taken out on Geonosis fairly easily, but on Kamino he more than handles Obi-wan, while protecting his son and getting his ship ready to fly.
So yeah, let's get a Jango Fett movie, because he's actually good at his job...

I just want to know why Vader single him out when specifying "No Disintigrations." And why Boba was completely blase about being singled out.
Because clearly hes a feth up who brought vader a pile of dust once and hes blase about it because he knows hes gak.
Ah... given Vader's tendency to strangle people for screwing up, if I were 'a feth up' in Vader's presence, I would not be blase at all when he singled me out. Terrified might describe it more accurately. "Yes, Lord Vader" would be a far more likely response if I were a 'feth up'.
"As you wish", in a resigned tone? Not so much.
No, there's more to this story than that, Lance. I suspect a LOT more...

Now imagine what happens to an Imperial commando doing the same.

Commando falls to the ground dead.
Vader does not take disappointment well, as we repeatedly see in ESB.

It could also be something he's known for.. Or a single example that's followed him completely and he's just resigned to "Oh hey its that bounty hunter that disintegrated that guy!" and knows it follows him.

Obviously we need the Soontir Fel movie. Get a movie from the Empires perspective.
Or a Piett movie, but Soontir Fel would be cooler.
I mean, hey... they seem to want to do a Star Wars a year, might as well throw things at the wall!

Back when I had the essential guides for starwars stuff I always liked Davin Felth. One of the Stormtroops from tatooine in ANH who ended up defecting. That could be a neat perspective.

I would like to see something Imperial-focused at some point in an Anthology movie. Give me essentially Das Boot/Red October ect but in Star Wars as we follow the crew of a Star Destroyer adrift in space, crippled in a Rebel raid that destroyed the rest of the convoy it was a part of. Have the attempted mutiny, have the mounting tension as critical systems begin to fail and it's not clear whether anyone is coming, have a Rebel spy on board desperate to escape before the whole ship goes down, and make the while thing with no exterior shots to build up a sense of claustrophobia and do something different.
And once they've done that, Battle of Britain with X-wings, please and thank you...

If they do an Imperial movie Id rather it not be about a defector. Get some gray in there, instead of the Empire being pure black and the Rebels being pure white.
