\nand origin is as mysterious as that of Boba Fett. As we speak, there’s
\nsomeone out there arguing that he’s Han’s mom’s uncle’s estranged
\nbrother. There have got to be at least 20 sites dedicated to discussing
\nwhether he wears boxers or briefs. (Interesting question… Note to self:
\nNext article–Boba Fett: Boxers or briefs?) There was one particular
\nsite that has some very legitimate points; it’s Joe Carlson’s The Boba Fett Internet Archive<\/strong>. One area of the site, Serious Geeking, is dedicated to fans, such as myself that enjoy frequently asked questions. Some of the ideas I’ve come across lately are
\nabsolutely absurd.<\/p>\n
\nConcord Dawn. General Han Solo is a Corellian. That should be enough to
\nend this discussion, right? Nope. ‘Cause right now there’s someone
\nreading this saying: “Yeah, but Luke and Leia are from different planets
\ntoo!” And that’s absolutely right. Probably the best evidence is that
\nGeorge Lucas isn’t Jerry Springer, and having Han and Boba Fett as
\nbrothers wouldn’t really serve any other purpose than sensationalism.
\nAll we know is that Boba was accused of being a stormtrooper and Han was formerly an
\nImperial officer who stood up for what he believed in. This probably
\ncaused a lot of respect in Fett’s eyes but, from then till the time when the bounty was put on Solo’s head, he had changed that. In addition, in the Holiday Special<\/em>, where Fett was “helping” Luke, Solo,
\nand the rest, he was actually trying to capture them for the bounty
\nfrom Jabba. R2-D2 and C-3P0 thwarted his plan.<\/p>\n
\nknow that much about Wedge. So it was to the books I went. They told
\nme a lot about him, but not really anything that could prove or disprove
\nthis one. I believe that all of these rumors will end up like this,
\nbecause of Fett’s total lack of a past. So, it all comes down to logic
\nagain. If Fett was Wedge, he had a lot better chances to capture Solo
\nand his friends that would prove a lot less dangerous to Fett.<\/p>\n
\n“Vader or Luke would have felt his presence.” But, didn’t Vader almost
\ndestroy Luke’s X Wing? And all he had to say was “The force is strong
\nwith this one.” If I found out that I had a kid who was destroying the
\nempire’s greatest weapon, I think I might have a bit more of a reaction.
\nAnd Luke spent god knows how long with Leia, and he needed Ben and Yoda
\nto tell him. Leia says, “Somehow I’ve always known.” is that why you
\nwere making out with him in the infirmary? But Yoda and Ben would have
\nknown. And the Emperor would have known. They’re the strongest with
\nthe force in the Star Wars Universe, and when it comes down to it, it’s
\nmy opinion that the Emperor is the strongest. He would have exploited
\nthat for his own purposes.<\/p>\n
\nFett. But they’ve asked some very interesting questions. The best one,
\nor at least the most interesting to me is the idea that Fett is the last
\nsurviving member of an Imperial cloning experiment, similar to the Nazi’s
\nUbermen. The idea came from William Kivlen, and his argument was this:
\nThe possibility of Boba Fett being a clone? After all isn’t he a veteran
\nof the clone wars? Could Boba Fett be the last surviving member of an
\nImperial cloning experiment, something similar to the Nazi’s Ubermen?
\nSeems to me that would explain the Jedis being nearly extinct from that
\nwar (from possibly almost meeting their match). Also that would explain
\nhis seemingly agelessness (sic), the measure of respect that he receives
\nfrom Vader, his close workings with the Hutts, known Jedi killers, and to
\nme personally, what would a specifically trained special forces soldier
\ndo after the war is over? The hunt must go on.<\/p>\n
\nproved, or disproved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
