   THe costume came in spedey time and in great shape. The plastic mask was a hard plastic and durable. It was not the flimsy type found in most costumes. The only small concern was the cape only had one little velcro fastener and it was in the middle of the cape. It is easily fixed with safety pins at the opposite ends of the cape. My son loved his costume and didn't have troubles breathing with it. The mouth part has several slits wide enough to breath through. It is held on with elastic and velcro tabs on the mask.

   George Lucas killed Boba Fett. Lucas is reportedly retiring from film making so anything goes. I've followed Star Wars since seeing it on the big screen in 1977. When Boba Fett first came out, he was only described as a Shock Trooper from the days of the Old Republic. There were a total of nine Star Wars scripts Lucas wrote of which the first six were made into films. Not sure if we will ever see the last three. Maybe just as well.

   Star Wars still got me to read the article, but I have lost interest. Lucas made turds out of the Prequels, and then he decided to alter the originals so we can't even get decent copies on Blue-Ray. I used to read all the extended Univerese books and some were fantastic. The original Timothy Zahn triology was great as was the Courtship of Princes Leia and many of the other early books. Once they killed off Chewbacca and started focusing on the Solo/Skywalker kids, I lost interest in the extended Universe as well.

     It's a story on the CNN Blog GeekOut. it's a story because people like you make it a story and make it news. You not only gave this webpage a "hit" by clicking and presumably reading the story... but you took the time to actually comment on it. You don't want news like this... then don't click the links and don't read the stories and certainly don't waste precious time commenting on it! The more hits this page gets the more stories like this CNN will float from this blog onto the main website page.

   Star Wars has been dead to me since 1999, when Lucas butchered his own work in "The Phantom Menace". The Force was great as a mystical thing, but as soon as they quantified it(or "Star Trekked" it as I like to say) with midichlorians, it lost all of its mystical properties. Now any hack with a midichlorian meter can tell you who's a Jedi and who's not, it doesn't take a Jedi to know a Jedi, or a Sith for that matter.

   I still like the original trilogy(Empire > ALL), but am unable to find the original widescreen versions anymore as the only ones sold now are all stuffed with the unnecessary cgi-candy muppets from the 1990's remakes. Boo George Lucas until he re-releases the original movies, cinematic flaws and all, as they were truly masterpieces of sci-fantasy.

     Isn't mopery exposing yourself to a blind person? Either way I agree. Is it too late for Lucas to throw Jar Jar Binks into the Sarlacc Pit?

   If he really did die, it's a shame he didn't go out the way he wanted to. Oddly touching moment from Bloodlines (in the Legacy series) when he explained it.

    Those who think this is a lame argument but defend Fett's "death" in Return of the Jedi should probably should know that his character wasn't introduced in the movies; it was on the cartoon called "Droids". His character technically came from the expanded universe, not the movies. Don't knock the expanded universe and everything that goes with it, Boba Fett wouldn't have existed had it not been for it.

      I don't recall Lucas putting any cartoons in New Hope, Empire or Jedi, hence not Lore. From what I've read he wished Holiday Special never happened. Boba Fett was in all his glory in Empire and Jedi, WHERE HE DIED!!!

    Will this death last as long as his last one? Or as Maul's did? It seems even being eaten alive or cut in half doesn't actually kill you in the Star Wars Universe. It's gone from awesome to cute to hokey to soap opera in a few short years.

    April 25, 2012 at 5:03 pm |
    • Vad
      

      The answer to your question Clyde is: If there is money to be made he will be brought back safe and sound. Let's see, how will Tom Taylor bring him back in a few years? Maybe this Fett is an imposter? Maybe Fett staged his own death to hide from his enemies? Maybe his armor has super medical properties that keep him alive no matter what? Maybe he was only stunned? Maybe Fett is continually brought back to life by the magic of cloning? It'll never end!

        There are several leelvs of star wars costumes that presumably go up in quality as you pay more. I found that this costume was a good buy for the money. The mask was quickly discarded by my 5 year old on Halloween because it was hot, but I think that would have happened with any mask costume. My 3 year old has taken over the mask to wear around the house and it has held up since October, which is kind of amazing. The body of the costume was big enough to fit over clothes and he loved the cape. To be perfectly honest, I think any costume with a blaster would have been a hit, but this served the purpose well. I would definitely recommend the blaster with it.

    The fact that CNN writes an entire article about the fictional death of a fictional character just clearly spells out how little taste or standards they really have in reporting the news.

    CNN is NOT "nerd central" no matter how hard they try to be. People who really care about Boba Fett's "death" already know about it or are likely to find out.

    One word that describes this entire organization:

    Lol, I have to start reading comics and books on this. I thought the Sarlacc killed him, it burped so I assume he was swallowed. Plus there was a lot fighting after he went down, no one would see him come up? I doubt he was hanging out down there very long since there would be acid beginning to break him down. Then why did Jabba choose to throw in a Jedi if he could get out of the Sarlacc?

      Boba Fett blasted his way out of the Sarlacc. He was one only a few people to survive a Sarlacc attack. His armor helped and sheer determination. However, he would be forever scarred from the experience.

      I don't think George Lucas has ever seen the inside of a Sarlacc himself. He needs to hit up Mrs. Duggar and see if she's free for an evening.

      They did say it took like a 1000 years for someone to be digested in the sarlacc so I guess he had a bit of time to make his escape.

      There is a collection of shorts called Tales from Jabba's Palace. It includes the story of Boba Fett in the Sarlacc Pit and how he got out. The injuries sustained from the acid pop up in a number of other books, including the recent Legacy books.

      Maybe you should get him snehtmiog. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but he is being slowly digested in the stomach of a Sarlacc. Well maybe he would like the bourbon after all. It could help kill the pain of the digestion.Edit: Dude, I stand corrected. I'd still get him the bourbon though.

      June 30, 2012 at 11:47 pm |
23. Big Bear
    

    The answer to this question is simple. Boba Fett killed Boba Fett or at least someone dressed as Boba Fett. It makes sense. Who else could have done this. As others have stated the real Boba Fett was killed by Han Solo in Return of the Jedi. And I quote from the interview "Lucasfilm needs to keep all of this in mind and help to make sure I’m not accidentally tripping over continuity." So in order to maintain continuity with this story line the real Boba Fett must be alive and it is an imposter lying on the ground.

    RE: Fett's death in Return of the Jedi, I may be able to shed some light on this.

    The Marvel Comics Star Wars series brought Fett back to life. In issue 95 (I think, I haven't read the series in a while), the story got "retconned." Per the comic book, Fett was just knocked out for a while and woke up inside the belly of the sarlac, somehow escaping. The comic made him out to be a bit of a cyborg.

    I haven't bothered with any of the Dark Horse series because I felt the story was pretty much over. Between the Marvel Comics series ending (issue 107 I believe it was) and Return of the Jedi, I felt that all the needed stories had been told.

    Odd to me how the article doesn't talk about the saarlac pit AT ALL. This is noteworthy in part because the character died a lame death before Lucas was aware of Fett's popularity. I've seen several interviews where Lucas talked about how he would have given Fett a cooler death had he known the character was so loved.

    I'm not a fan of the Fett's personally. I found the characters lacked depth and were too easily defeated to have earned their reputations.

    Erm...he died in Return of the Jedi...eaten by the Sarlaac. "The Star Wars universe exists across games, TV series, movies, comics, novels and far more obscure things and everything is canon. Lucasfilm needs to keep all of this in mind and help to make sure I’m not accidentally tripping over continuity." By killing him ..."with the many smoking holes all over his body..." you've not only tripped over continuity, you kicked it in the privates and threw it off of a bridge...

      There is expanded universe lore outside of this comic, bro. He made his way out, look it up. And it is considered canon as LucasFilm does not allow any EU novels to be released that cannot be fit into canon.

      Actually, Boba was not killed by the Sarlaac. It takes the Sarlaac thousands of years to slowly digest its food, slowly stripping away at the flesh it captures inside of it. Boba Fett was able to kill the Sarlaac from within and escape it alive, but not without a serious amount of injury incurred to himself as well. So no, Boba hash't been killed before, just gotten pretty close to it.

      You speak logic good sir. Boba Fett did die to be consumed over the course of a 1000 years. Despite all the authors blabbering about Fett's cool green armor, the only green Tom Taylor is seeing belongs in a wallet. Lucas had Fett die in an uncool and anti climatic way. I saw it on the screen and that is final word! Any magazine that has him blasting out of Sarlaac's stomach is good for toilet paper only.

    Well it was Jango Fett who was cloned and though he appears many years later. I am damn sure he died in the Sarlacc pit after Han Solo taking advise from Chewbecca hits Boba Fetts jet pack with a Bantha stick sending him flying into the side of Jabbas yacht and falling down into the pit. But comic books took over and he used a thermal detonator to get out of the pit.

    Maybe I'm missing something here. Boba Fett died in Return of the Jedi. Did the movie leave any room for him to escape the Sarlac? Seems like they are running out of new ideas to develop stories within the Star Wars Universe, so they're just content with rewriting Lucas' own material.

    What a piece of journalistic tripe that was! Who wrote that.....an escapee from a preschool for the criminally insane?

    Oh please, this is going to be like that episode of the WB Batman animated series, where they started off a storyline with Batman being dead, only it turns out he's actually alive, and he faked his own death to find out who tried to kill him.

    Either that, or they're going to have a backlash on the level of Optimus Prime's death. I mean, there's only so far that you can allow this series to be butchered, Lucas.

        Everybody loves something. I'm sure you have a few "geeky" things that you dig but makes others cringe.

    Just another innocent minority killed.

    Email me for directions to our rally and Mandalorian armor march.

    Justice for Boba Fett!

    I am Boba Fett.

      Thank you scoobs and after reading Roland’s other comments I have to agree on both your comments.

    this is impossible, boba fett was clearly killed in the first part of return of the jedi, when his rocket pack was damaged in the fight to rescue luke, he is seen falling into the mouth of the creature where luke was supposed to slowly die a thousand deaths, i mean come on people, how the heck would he have survived that????

      Boba Fett is such a badass that he survived the Sarlacc. The only other person in the galaxy who could accomplish that feat is Chuck Norris.

      Boba Fett survived the sarlaac due to his armor...climbed out and has lived a very long time according to the novels....yeah yeah ok I'm a geek I know.

      He comes crawling back out in some comic book. I remember the picture.

      Nothing ever stays dead in comics. That's so lame.

      Inside the suit was Chuck Norris.

      See my short essay below on the difference between "dead" and "Sci-fi dead."

      How could he have survived? It's called a movie, Star Wars nonetheless.

    Boba Fett isn't dead - I follow him on Twitter.

    Boba Fett was killed in Return of the Jedi when Han Solo inadvertantly ignited his jet pack sending him careening off Jabba's sail barge and into the Sarlacc pit. So I guess you can say Han Solo killed him.

      Ahh, but there's dead, and the there's Sci-fi dead. No other medium allows so many possibilities for resurrection of popular characters. A friend of mine says it's like soap opera dead, but I disagree – I recently saw my first episode of Clone Wars while channel surfing, and Darth Maul was alive, and half spider robot. Try that on "Guiding Light," hahaha.

      Daniel Jackson on "Stargate SG-1" is, I think, the most prominent example. He died like four or five times, once for two whole seasons. But he wasn't dead dead.

      He was sci-fi dead.

        Very true. Maul was reintroduced back in a short story in a graphic novel published back in 2005. Many of the baddest Sith Lords survive mortal situations with a little Frankenstein thrown in; Darth Vader is a perfect example of this. Obi-Wan was thrown back into the movie just seconds after his death in the first Star Wars, Luke hears his voice. Most complain yet don't realize that's this has been there since the beginning.

    Boba Fett was a liberal stooge. He didn't believe in working, spawned an entire army out of wedlock and worked for the empire, which supported higher taxes. Fett should have died long ago.

      You're thinking of his father Jango Fett. Boba Fett, like the rest of the Mandalorian race, was freelance.

      You do realize that you are referring to a fictional character set in a fictional universe in a fictional movie (and you couldn't even get that right). Sorta like your idea of politics.

        I find no irony that his name is Truth.

      Everyone knows Boba Fett eventually had a helmet change and later would secretly marry Lando!

      Wasn't that Jango?

      Like others have said before, you have your Fett's switched. Boba Fett was married and had a daughter from that marriage, tho he later divorced her mother. The daughter was later killed by a Sith Lord which resulted in Boba teaming up with (and training) Jaina Solo, so that he could avenge his daughter and rescue his granddaughter.
