BOBA FETT: THE FIGHT TO SURVIVE

NEW!
"A bounty hunter is an outlaw, a tracker -- and sometimes a killer -- for hire. He doesn't care who his targets are, or who they're running from, or why. He works for the highest bidder, which means the richest and the most ruthless beings in the galaxy. No question asked.

"Being a bounty hunter's son means keeping your mouth shut and your eyes open.

"No problem. Boba Fett was proud of his father and proud of what he did. "I'm a bounty hunter's son," he would say to himself proudly.

"The reason he said it to himself and to no one else, was that he had no one else to say it to.

"He had no friends.

"How can you have friends when you live and travel in secret, sneaking on and off planets, avoiding police and security and the dreaded, nosy, Jedi Knights.

"A bounty hunter must always be ready to go anywhere and face any danger. That was from Jango Fett's code, the rule by which he lived.

STAR WARS: TALES OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS

"Everyone dies.
It’s the final and only lasting Justice. Evil exists; it is intelligence in the service of entropy. When the side of a mountain slides down to kill a village, it is not evil, for evil requires intent. Should a sentient being cause that landslide, there is evil; and requires Justice as a consequence, so that civilization can exist.
There is no greater good than Justice; and only if law serves Justice is it a good law. It is said correctly that law exists not for the Just but for the unjust, for the Just carry the law in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar.
I bow to no one and I give service only for cause."
- Jaster Mereel (p. 277)

"Do you understand the seriousness of this, boy? You killed a man."
- Creel

Boba Fett to: Leia (p. 297)

"Those worlds rose in rebellion against the authority legally in place over them. The Emperor was within his rights to destroy them; they threatened the system of social justice that permits civilization to exist. I am sorry for the deaths of the innocent. But that happens in a war, Leia Organa. The innocent die in wars, and your side should not have started this one."
- Boba Fett re: the Rebellion, to: Leia (p. 297)

"I am nothing like Solo and don’t you compare me to him."
- Boba Fett (p. 297)

"Do you know what that man had done in his life? Never mind the loyal citizens of the Empire that he, and you, have killed during your Rebellion; war is war and perhaps you, at least, think you are fighting for Justice. But Solo? He’s a brave man, yes; he’s also a mercenary who’s never done a decent thing in his life…"
- Boba Fett re: Han Solo (p. 297)

Boba Fett to: Butcher of Montellian Serat (p. 313)

"Listen. I am Boba Fett. And you are Kadue'sai'Malloc, the Butcher of Montellian Serat, and you're worth five million credits. Alive. And nothing dead, so you will not annoy me into killing you."
Boba Fett to: Butcher of Montellian Serat (p. 314)

HEIR TO THE EMPIRE

He clenched his teeth, a memory of his brief skiff-battle encounter with Boba Fett flashing through his mind. Wrapped in the bounty hunter's smart-rope, he'd escape only by snapping the cable with a deflected blaster shot.
- Luke Skywalker’s memory (p. 73)

THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR

"I’m not restricted by the authority of your so-called Bounty Hunter’s Guild. I answer to a higher law."
- Boba Fett (p. 47)

"The Hutts and all my other clients—they pay me the kind of bounties they do because of one thing. I deliver. Once I’ve caught my prey, nothing stops me from bringing it in. Nothing. If I take on a job, I complete it. And everyone in the galaxy knows that."
- Boba Fett (p. 53)

"Other bounty hunters may conduct their business as they please. They have their standards . . . and I have mine. And I’ve got the merchandise, and they don’t. There’s a connection."
- Boba Fett (p. 53)
