April Fool’s Day 2009

For the last 17 hours, we pranked over 1,000 vis­i­tors to BobaFett.com with this farewell page:

We also solicited feed­back on the site, Face­book, MySpace and Twit­ter. Here is a select group of responses:

• “We are all sad­dened by the loss of the BFFC. It had a great run. Every­day in the Sum­mer, I would wake up and go on the BFFC. Thank you for giv­ing us such a great site.” — Glopino
• “I finally found a Boba Fett web­site and it is no more! Bad tim­ing a guess, why was the site shut down though? If you don’t mind me ask­ing.” — Stephen
• “I’m going to first off say I am a bit sus­pi­cious. Is this legit and Lucas­film finally responded to you or this just an April Fools’ Day gag? … What is the mean­ing of this? Eh? Cana­dian onto some­thing? :P” — Sev
• “That’s sur­pris­ingly and strangely depress­ing…” — Steve (via Twitter)
• “You actu­ally freaked me out for a sec until I went over at the Mando Mercs site, or should I say the Delta Quad­rant Star Trek Cos­tume Club. Then I real­ized what day it is. Good one, dude. Catch you later.” — Sadriel
• “This has to be an April Fool’s joke…” — Rudy (via Facebook)
• “Jeez, i almost bought that.” — Erik (via Facebook)
• “Haha awe­some!! Was that your site? I’m sorry to hear…” — John (via Facebook)
• “April fools?” — Thomas (via Facebook)
• “Nooo!!! :( So many good mem­o­ries…” — Phillip (via Facebook)
