I think names with the first name having two syllables first and then the second name having one syllable work the best i.e. Boba Fett

so
things like

lila tan
ranto fill
tyulim far
pomto rall
are a good way to start the process.

Give that a try.

And all of this over a character who was supposed to play a minor role in the background.
I would have preferred it if KT stuck to writing her own crap. Her books read like a British soap-opera.

Boba Fett was much cooler before all of the elaboration.

But I am really old-school.

Well, I never said that Google specifically doesn't give me what I want. I said that it doesn't do it BETTER than any other engine out there if you know HOW to search for what your looking for. I have never NOT been able to find exactly what I was looking for using Yahoo and I recently ran a test and got exactly the same returns for the first "10,234,345" sites. Most humans are going to stop looking after the first five to ten sites or until they find the info they are looking for.

I'm with you all the way,

Punk rock!

Subvert the dominate paradigm!

Palitoy was a British company and had the SW license back in the day for the UK and other places in Europe.

The original (vintage) Boba Fett figure has several variations but the most obvious is the shade of green used for his chest armor. I got a Palitoy version a few months ago loose with the original weapon and card from a guy that had had it since he was a kid.

Since then I have been looking around price guides etc. for details on the price difference. Again I don't really care how much it is worth in terms of how much I can make off of it because I want to keep it for myself. I am just curious as to what the difference is in prices depending on the variations.

I have only used it once or twice in my life.  I think the search returns it gives are a lot of fluff. I mean cross-reference "hamster" a million ways and you are still going to get a bunch of crap about fuzzy critters that may, or may not be what you are looking for...just because the cross-referencing is so extensive does not mean that you always get what you are looking for.

Furthermore, there is in fact, such a thing as too much information. A lot of Google returns are irrelevant.

In my opinion...
And Youtube does not seem to have the zazz that it did before, I agree there too.

Here in Japan people spend the Christmas holiday with their significant other and it's all about money, I know it's getting that way everywhere but since Japanese culture is not based on Judeo-christian tradition it is a really materialistic time so I try to stay home and not go out for any reason whatsoever as it really makes me sad. Then when the new year roles around families get together and people usually don't go out. Totally backwards!  I really hate the holidays now.

In my opinion, Boba Fett is only the character he is today because of the way he looks. As has been commented many times here on the boards, George Lucas has just been making things up as he goes. Boba Fett was originally a very minor character with nothing to support him but his visual aesthetic. By which I mean, he looked cool. Everyone knows his original color scheme was supposed to be white, and then for his debut he has the revamped, and I think the best color scheme all, with non matching gauntlets and exposed flame unit. He also has several wires hanging off of his armor in different places  and an extra belt that is visible on the Kenner photos taken for the original carded figure. One of the coolest aspects of the color prototype armor was his kick ass gloves, the brown and beige two-tone gloves with the military patches. Those gloves totally rocked!

Anyway, the confusion concerning his armor, I believe, is a result of the over elaboration by fans who Lucas has exploited to make more money. Between the comics, novels expanded universe etc. Boba Fett has become something he was never really intended to be, a main character. The fact that we don't have all of the details and back story concerning his armor is, I think, part of what makes him so cool. So much of the mystery surrounding Fett is gone, and I think that has done more to reduce his image than to enhance it.

On another note, Jango's armor looked brand new, Boba's has seen some serious action. My understanding from the received view of a few years back was that there was never supposed to me that much of the stuff around in the first place and I remember reading somewhere that the idea was that he salvaged bits and pieces as he came across them and refurbished them. Does anyone else remember that aspect of the mythology? I think this was well before karen Traviss and all of the other expanded universe crap.

Sorry about the negativity, I am really old-school!

Thanks for the suggestion...I think I will look into that.

They are beautiful. I wish more people were more excited about his art.

The hoodie is the only cool piece in his collection. That's not a bad choice and I would probably wear it if someone gave it to me as a gift.
