His<br \/>\npast was dark and you had no idea where he came from.<br \/>\nFrom the looks of him he would give you no hint to his<br \/>\ndark past. I was almost in tear when I learned how he<br \/>\nsaw Jango dies at the hands of Mace Windu. I guess it<br \/>\nwould have been quicker then in the belly of a<br \/>\nsarlacc. However is Boba Fett as dark as we see him? I<br \/>\nmean you are not looking close enough. The small<br \/>\ndetails on his armor give away his past. Boba Fett&#8217;s<br \/>\narmor looks nothing like Jango&#8217;s maybe there is a<br \/>\nreason for this.<\/p>\n<p>My point is Boba Fett has little clues to his dark<br \/>\npast. You may think I took a lot of time to think this<br \/>\ncrap up. I assure you I came up with while drawing a<br \/>\nMandalorian I role-play with. It took me only moment<br \/>\nto figure this out and let me tell you I have a heck<br \/>\nof an imagination. I was just taking the design off<br \/>\nthe a Boba Fett action figure.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I came up with. One Boba Fett&#8217;s shoulder<br \/>\npads there is the famous Mandalorian skull. No biggy<br \/>\nright? Think really hard about what that look like.<br \/>\nThe Reek, with his huge horns that curl around it<br \/>\nhead. I know it missing the horn on the top of his<br \/>\nhead but there is what looks like a crack in the<br \/>\nskull. There&#8217;s the third horn.<\/p>\n<p>You still don&#8217;t believe me that Boba was giving hints<br \/>\nto his past? Fine then. On Boba&#8217;s right breast plate<br \/>\nis the a small planet with what looks like a wreath<br \/>\naround it. This small planet is very similar to the<br \/>\nplanet Geonosis. The very planet where his father fell<br \/>\non to the Jedi. The ring around the planet is well the<br \/>\nring the Slave I about destroyed Obi Wan.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know. Kind of cheesy. But It&#8217;s still a good<br \/>\ntheory if you ask me and they do look like the Reek<br \/>\nand Geonosis. I wonder is this was a mistake or if<br \/>\nLucas did it on purpose? However, I&#8217;m going to say<br \/>\nthat is a way for Fett to let us know of his dark past<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s not so dark any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest author: Kelu Fett Originally published: 2003 I have been a fan of Boba Fett for a long time.
