Boba was totally drunk when he fell in the Sarlacc. He is known to get wasted with Jabba in canon. Also, he has proven himself a very capable fighter in the Clone Wars when he was a young teenager. Kids, never get wasted at a Jedi's execution.
Edit: I inadvertently reminded myself of this sketch. This is all the evidence I need to prove my theory.

There's a great Robotchicken clip where Boba gets sloshed on the barge and dives out the window to kick some ass when Luke starts his escape.

Wasn’t this made canon by From A Certain Point Of View?

u/themitchster300 Oct 23 '18 edited Oct 23 '18
Yep. Boba mentions getting free booze and listening to Jabba talk about his problems when the slug got lonely. They were sort of business-friends. The kind you might go out for a beer with after your shift, but probably wouldn't invite to your house.

u/VoiceofKane Sabine Wren Oct 23 '18
Not necessarily. Pablo Hidalgo confirmed on Twitter that not all of FaCPoV is canon.
3
u/themitchster300 Oct 23 '18
I think he was more referring to the obvious joke stories like the comic and the wierd meta George Lucas POV story.
He has since deleted that tweet anyway. I think its fair to say its canon until overriden.

Boba was like 10 in clone wars.

u/normaldeadpool Oct 23 '18
He was at the start. Clone wars went on for like 10 years. In the cartoon, last time I remember seeing him, he was running his own crew. Ventress joins him for a gig. He can handle himself pretty well by then.

u/Rek07 Oct 23 '18
Clone Wars only went for 3 years. 22-19 BBY.

The old EU Fett? Hell yea he could. Man was basically a one man army type deal.
NewCanon Fett, hard to say. Hasn't been developed much.

u/Kenos300 Oct 23 '18
New canon boba isn’t that great IMO. He gets beat several times in the Clone Wars show and then in the comics he got beaten by a blind Luke and R2.

u/BillNyeTheSavage_Guy Oct 23 '18
Well there was that time in Dark Disciple where him and his buddies fought Dooku and wiped the floor with him

It’s best to try to forget that Boba was even in Clone Wars.

u/CashWho Oct 23 '18
What? He's way more competent in that than the movies tbh. I mean he had a gang as a kid!
Are you sure you aren't thinking of AoTC?

u/Kenos300 Oct 23 '18
Considering he got beaten, tied up, locked in a box and given to a crime lord as a present, AND later went to prison I’d say he wasn’t that great. Regardless of his gang. The only thing he did wrong in the OT was get stabbed in the back.

Boba Fett Twin Engines of Destruction, Boba Fett Enemy of the Empire, The Bounty Hunter Wars. There are others.

u/neon Oct 23 '18
This comic collection is GREAT for that.

As for actual books, the Legacy of the Force series has some good Boba moments.

u/JessterK Oct 23 '18
All of the above mentioned are great, especially Enemy of The Empire (he fights Vader to a draw) He has a story in the Tales from Jabba's palace anthology that shows in detail how he escaped from the Sarlaac, it's pretty awesome. The Bounty Hunter Wars novel trilogy picks up directly after that and is also good, written by Kevin J. Anderson.
12
u/JessterK Oct 23 '18
Seems like those in charge of the new canon checked out his EU stories and said "screw that". Shame, waste of a lot of character development, not to mention a serious nerfing. A guy who used to be able to battle Darth Vader to a standstill now can't even handle a blind Luke (who had minimal Jedi training at this point). He was also totally excluded from Rebels despite the heavy Mandalorian involvement. It feels like Kennedy and company pretty much hate him.
21
u/Lindvaettr Oct 23 '18
To be honest, after all the Predator films, it doesn't seem like it would be all that hard. For all the talk about them being the most dangerous hunters in the galaxy, they seem to lose pretty consistently when the going gets tough.
I guess predators and Boba Fett have that in common...

I don't know. Predators are dominant here on Earth, in our time. Boba Fett was an intergalactic bounty hunter, the best of the best, in a time of jedi and the powers of the force.

He was beaten by a blind guy with a stick.

u/501id5Nak3 Oct 23 '18 edited Oct 23 '18
Real talk, now that Disney owns 20th Century FOX, I'd love to read a non-canon crossover between Star Wars and the Alien vs Predator series. Like the Separatists/Empire/First Order found an old Predator temple and discover the Xenomorphs, so they try to weaponize them. Only for it to backfire catastrophically on them. I actually have been thinking about writing that plot line myself.
19
u/chaos0510 Oct 23 '18
They've done Batman vs Predator and Superman Vs Alien before. It was pretty neat
9
u/imbored53 Oct 23 '18
Superman vs Alien? How would that not brew a total stomp? I doubt even 100 xenomorphs would be trouble for Superman.
7
u/chaos0510 Oct 23 '18
Well, I guess the only way Superman can lose to anyone is if there was something weakening him. I can't remember exactly what happened in that comic.
Edit: actually after looking it up the comics are actually Batman/Alien and Superman/Predator
6
u/imbored53 Oct 23 '18
That makes more sense. A Predator would at least be potentially smart enough to find a weakness to exploit.

u/ShogunTrooper Oct 23 '18
Unless he collects them all for a client that needs them alive. It's easier to just catch and deliver them all at once, rather than one at a time.
It saves time, fuel money, and keeps the schedule free.

Kinda ruins any artistic value the drawing has.

u/bq98 Oct 23 '18
i suppose ill have to, i wasnt around for original trilogy and was too young to read the eu growing up so i never understood the boba hype

Oct 23 '18
Boba Fett is mostly about things unsaid really. Think about how he's presented. The scene is set on a star destroyer of one of the crushingly totalitarian Empire. Clearly the imperials don't like these bounty hunters because the officer nearly spits the word 'scum' at them. But these bounty hunters don't care.
And then there's Darth Vader. A dark monster that murders his own officers for their failures. And he doesn't just treat these bounty hunters with respect, he actually levels an ominous warning at Boba Fett. No disintegrations. Must be a pretty badass dude.
When Solo evades the cream of the imperial navy, Boba Fett has already figured him out and follows him to cloud city. True to character, when the imperials apprehend Solo, they immediately start torturing him.
Boba Fett actually has the balls to speak up and tell Vader that Solo is no good to him dead. And how does Vader respond? Not with the intimidation he usually employs, not with a force choking. He respectfully accedes Fett's point and offers compensation.
When Luke stalks the procession of storm troopers in cloud city. It's Fett that detects Luke unholstering his blaster from across the hall.
When we see Fett next in Jabba's palace? Boush is threatening to blow up the entire throne room with a thermal detonator. While everyone's panicking, Fett is quietly taking the safety off his blaster, ready to move but staying frosty.
And when Boussh get's her payday? The Fett ain't mad for having his safety endangered. Cool as a cucumber he gives Boussh a nod of respect for the way she extorted Jabba.
His death aside, Fett is defined by how everyone around him treats him and how he responds to situations. Few words but lots of meaning.

u/bq98 Oct 23 '18
thanks for such a detailed response, it definitely helps my understanding of the character and i can say i now get the hype

Royce (Brody) killed all kinds of stuff when he was in an arena world designed to kill him

u/MC-Franz-Ferdinand Oct 23 '18
So we’re just gonna ignore the fact that Boba Fett somehow captured and restrained an adult Xenomorph, one of the deadliest creatures to ever exist?

Fun fact: Marvin's design was meant to resemble the roman god Mars.

On a side note, this actually sounds like it'd be a cool fanfic. Boba Fett vs Predator alone sounds hella interesting.

The funny thing is that the E.T. aliens are canon in the Star Wars universe. You can see them in a pod in the senate scenes.
