The official Star Wars website spells "Wookiee" with two E's. See:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/species/wookiee/
I feel compelled to point out that I'm really not a Star Wars fan, I just have a head for spelling. No really. I have enough trouble getting dates without *this* kind of a reputation hanging around me :) -- user:Paul Drye
You may have a head for spelling, but your misspelling of embarrassed in the history will remain for all time... :0
32 BBY is not an approximation, it is the year Fett was born.
Both correct and incorrect information here. I've weeded out the bad and elaborated on the good.
This is false information.
The speculative nature of this paragraph makes its presence in the article unnecessary; there is no evidence to suggest it is even possible Fett's escape was ever filmed, and none to suggest that Lucas, having already considered adding such a scene but ultimately deciding not to, will change his mind in the future.
Untrue.
Not entirely true. I've corrected it accordingly.
Boba inherited both Jango's armor and Jaster Mereel's armor, as explicitly stated in The New Essential Guide to Characters.
All other minor edits I've made are self-explanatory. Please do not revert them. Jon Hart 20:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Deleted the one of a kind starship line. Could someone with more knowledge on the subject clear up what boba did immediatley after Geonosis. -- Darthmalt
Wilhelm Scream - Noted the "Wilhelm" in the Sarlacc scene in the RotJ section... it's also in the "Portrayers" section, but the ESB section had the various quotes and cited a total of four in the original trilogy, so seemed relevant to add a line to the RotJ as well. I was pondering editing this to five, but "Aaaaargh!" is arguable as a line, hence the designation being in quote marks. I've read varying reports of it being counted as a fifth line or not, notably in the official collector's magazine. It's definately a fifth utterance, though. Slavedriver 11:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Actually, Lucas recently stated that the stormtroopers are clones, IIRC... -- Ausir 16:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Wouldn't all the clones be too old to fight by the time of A new hope? they age 2x as fast... Then agian the Empire might have ordered more.
Some more proof that stormtroopers are not all clones is in the game Jedi Acadamy. In 2 seperate occasions that i know of, there wre NPCs talking about there previous life. One was a racer of some kind who joined due to a accadent he caused, and another left the stormtroopers because of how he hated taking orders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.184.62.103 ( talk) 06:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Check the picture in the Boba Fett page - there's Boba Fett and an Imperial stormtrooper behind him. Now think about it: those two will basically look like exactly the same under their armor. They both are just clones of some guy named Jango Fett. Thank you, George Lucas, for ruining Boba Fett's mystery!
That's not true. Jango Fett said that his 'son' was special. He may have ended up looking like his father, but that implies he was not genetically similar to the original batch of clones. mercator79 05:57 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I concur with mercator, the original batch of clones as shown in Star Wars II: The clone wars. The clones have been modified genetically to function better as a team and for special skills in combat -- FailureAtDeath ( talk) 04:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Where can I find this "stormtroopers are clones" official confirmation? It will be valuable for me.
But searching through Star Wars material, it indeed seems we are both right. Carida (and other training academies) were in the beginning made for training non cloned officers and non commision officers in the 3 branches of the imperial forces (Army, Navy and Stormtrooper (please note that stormtroopers are not under the army command, they are a branch for them self)), later (however no specific time could be found) it was expanded to train standard troops, naval troops and storm troopers when the Empire stopped cloning Stormtroopers. the time period is never specified however Carida was destroyed 10 ABY (After Battle of Yavin) so it must have been long before that. -- 61.214.132.192 01:41, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Who decided to bring Boba Fett out of the sarlacc's mouth? That's really stupid and annoying! Why can't Boba Fett just stay there and die! -- Scorpionman 19:33, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The quotes section of this page really needs to be cleaned up—especially the formatting. I've tried to format this section better, but for some unknown reason, my edits keep getting reverted to an inconsistent and less readable form. I also think a lot (maybe even all) of the quotes should be moved to Wikiquote, and a link to the appropriate Wikiquote page should be provided. – Mipadi 01:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
A while ago, I made a couple aesthetic improvements to the page that I felt greatly enhanced both the look and readability of the Boba Fett article. Both improvements were quickly reverted with little comment. However, I feel that they improved the page and would ask that other contributors submit an agreement or disagreement. The changes were as follows:
I had considered putting a {{cleanup-date}} on the front page to resolve this issue, but I think it can do without (for now; if this request does not get enough attention, I'll put it on for a while). I also didn't want to simply unilaterally reinstate my edits because I see no need for a childish edit war.
Any and all comments are welcome. Thank you very much. – Mipadi 03:02, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
This Wikipedia article treats the history of Boba Fett from fictonal material actually accumulated over time in popular culture. Wouldn't it be more consistent in a REFERENCE work, such as Wikipedia, to speak of the development of the character in culture? I understand the details of the chacracter are now important to many people, however, as a work of reference perhaps Wikipedia should treat these fans' details as secondary to the actual development of Boba Fett, first as a merchandized toy (I believe), then as a small role played in Empire Strikes Back. These facts are REAL whereas his birth in 32 BBY (whatever that means) is only fictionally accurate.
Is there a general Wikipedia guide to distinguishing truth and fictional truth?
I value Wikipedia to distinguish fact and fiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.20.124 ( talk) 06:23, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
"It is of interest to note that, though Fett's Sarlacc escape is official and did "happen" in the Star Wars canon, had Lucas inserted that particular scene into the movie, it would have made Fett's escape part of the highest level of canon, which is G-canon. Arguably, this is still the case, as Lucas's comments imply it happened in the film, simply off-screen."
Isn't this kind of like a fan's hoping wish that Boba Fett surviving the sarlac is canon? Last I checked, if something is in the movie, it's canon, if it's not, it's not.
"Fett" is a swedish word meaning "lard" or "grease". I wonder if they thought of that. . . Invisible Queen 10:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
From Protrayls: "...The stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI are not all clones of Boba's father, Jango, as revealed in Battlefront II. [should end here] Though this has been established in Star Wars continuity, Lucas still has the ability to change this in a newer release of his films. He still may dub Morrison's voice over the stormtroopers in the original films."
I don't think this potentially snarky slight to Lucas' nature of changing his films is necessary. Of course he could change it; that goes without saying. You could add that line after every sentence on any article. For example, "Luke and Leia are siblings. Though this has been established in Star Wars continuity, Lucas still has the ability to change this in a newer release of his films." Of course he could! He could add a British Tauntaun driving a Sandcrawler through the clouds of Bespin if he wanted. More importantly, it's pure conjecture to say that Lucas is even considering using Morrison's voice for the Stormtroopers in another future version. Where's the cite for the interview he said it in? I'm all for including it if it's true.
"...The reason behind the controversial move of replacing the voice of Wingreen is that as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well [should end here] (although this makes little logical sense, since an individual's way of speaking is shaped - and constantly changed - by the voices they hear around them)." Is that unanimously accepted in science? Even if it is, why is that personal editorial remark needed for this aticle? As soon as you mention something like that, you have to cite its truthfullness for other readers. Then before you know it, there's 4 paragraphs about human speech development in a Boba Fett article. Comments? Wilhelm Screamer 10:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
excuse me but wasn't Boba killed when Han whacked him into the saclaac (or whatever's) mouth?? Armanalp 19:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
can we get a refferance point for that?-- Manwithbrisk 19:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Also, Boba isn't actually killed in the film, he's just swallowed (whole) by the Sarlacc, so his being alive doesn't contradict the higher canon. 68.166.173.232 ( talk) 11:07, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
It was bothering me that Boba was still listed as having died in the Sarlacc, so I fixed it to the proper canonical happenings. (Yes, the EU is canonical, Lucas had a hand in its writing. Plus, Fett's survival does nothing to disrupt the later events.)
SETHdaFIRENZE (
talk) 18:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
these dates we have for boba can't be right boba fett is what 10 in aotc? whihc takes place ten years after the battle of naboo and took place on i believe 35 bby we have boba fetts birth listed here as 72 bby and we have a death date for him that has him die 10 years before the first film is set someone needs to get on this and find a real date of birth for him, in the meantime i'm taking the date down-- Manwithbrisk 04:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
maybe i'm not geting something here but last time i checked that section was on what happened in return of the Jedi not something called a wise bounty hunter why does this section keep getting renamed this way and its Return of the Jedi not Return Of The Jedi-- Manwithbrisk 16:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
i even did a google search, and the only page that came up with the phrase "a wise bounty hunter" was this article-- Manwithbrisk 16:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Is the emphasis on Bobba or Bowba? Londo06 17:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I think this article could mention Boba'a origins in Sergio Leone's Western character. Lucas brings this up on one of the DVD commentaries and i think it's kind important.
I would like to ask everyone not to put "Mandalorian" in the species portion of the character-box. "Mandalorian" isn't a species due to the fact that anyone, of any species, could be accepted as a Mandalorian. "Human," on the other hand, is a species. So, please, leave "Human" in the character-box from now on. Thank you. Arwen Undomiel talk 14:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Is there a Race then? like Republic Humans, Mandalorian Humans and Naboo Humans- Hare —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.59.49 ( talk) 07:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
That this article makes no actual mention of his age, surely there must have been some point in the series that his age is revealed (besides in the young adult series). I might be wrong, but just to make sure, can someone tell me how old he is in ROTJ?
Is there a reason that the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy of books aren't mentioned in this article? They are considered the de facto story of how Fett survives his sarlacc encounter and his immediate events during ROTJ. These books should be mentioned instead of Tales from Jabba's Palace. 163.41.146.79 ( talk) 23:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Boba Fett's appearances should be ordered in real world chronological order like Jabba the Hutt's are. Right now the article mentions his appearances ordered by in-universe chronology. The article should mention his Holiday Special appearance first, then his appearances in episodes V and VI, followed by his appearance in Episode II. -- Jtalledo (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

boba fett's ship was the slave II, not the slave I. jango's ship was the slave I and, it would seem logical that boba named his ship after jango's.-- Themanofsack ( talk) 14:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Should it be noted anywhere that the current photo (boba_fet.jpg) is actually that of a fan in a home-made costume, and not of any of the actors who appeared in the films? Crimson667 ( talk) 17:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
It's not the character, just someone in a fan made costume, as such it does nothing for the article and shouldn't be used as the primary identifying picture.
The character has appeared in enough media that an actual image should be available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.34.219 ( talk) 02:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Fixed this sentence: "Vader asserts that Solo "will not be permanently damaged", marking the only time a character other than Emperor Palpatine makes Vader falter." I included the name Grand Moff Tarkin as another who has once balked Vader. Vader defers to Tarkin's authority as he is psychically strangling a non-believer and releases him upon Tarkin's command. This would indeed mark an instance where someone other than Boba Fett or Emperor Palpatine "makes Vader falter." 72.91.48.24 ( talk) 13:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
so it's ok to use watching ESB as a source for vader conceeding to boba fett, but using NH as a source for vader conceeding to tarkin is unacceptable? tarkin gave vader an order, and vader obeyed it. simple as that. my source? i've seen the movie over 100 times (just like everyone else has). unfortunately, lucas has yet to send me a copy of the script so that i may note which page the line in question is typed on. if you don't believe me, i challenge you to watch the movie and see for yourself. it's a good movie. you might enjoy it. also, please go to the article on the Sun and remove any reference to the Sun being yellow in color as there is no way to properly source this fact, even though every person on the planet can look up and see that it is yellow. at some point doesn't common sense and common knowledge have to prevail in these edit wars? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.143.189 ( talk) 17:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Can someone provide a page number (and edition, since they change across printings and format) and, even better, quote to back up the claim that retconnedly Fett seeded some of the "false" backstories? It's enough basic plot that we don't need it, but it would still be nice to specifically bolster it. -- EEMIV ( talk) 20:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
They say that Boba fett is also one of the Lord of the Rings things like the black Rider's. Is Boba Fett also in Lord of the Rings?? He works for the Eye in that one maybe. 24.250.114.65 ( talk) 22:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)Tibo
Rapper MC Chris made a song "Fett's Vette" that is fairly well known on Youtube.com. I think it should be referenced in the article as it is a fairly significant contribution to the character in popular culture. Mrrealtime ( talk) 19:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Another popular culture reference: Boba Fett was played by The Giant Chicken in Family Guy's Star Wars spoof: Something Something Something Dark Side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.125.12 ( talk) 01:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the following phrase from the Films section is intended to mean? "...supposedly to the sarlacc's death caused by his technology when he survived." I'm reluctant to edit it because I can't figure out what the author was trying to say. Palmpilot900 ( talk) 14:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning as to the reason why Temuera Morrison replaced the original voice of Boba? I know it is briefly implied in Episode II: Attack of the Clones that Jango Fett wanted an unaltered clone, but may be a bit unclear to some. May be worth exploring where George Lucas discusses the change and why he changed the voice in the Special Editions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcconnellsc58 ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Shouldn't his last appearance chronologically be Return of the Jedi, not by year of production? Leopea ( talk) 14:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Boba not only appears in 3 Star Wars Robot Chicken specials ( ILM aided , Lucas encouraged. ) , but in various sketches throughout the series. He is voiced by Breken Meyer (sic ) , and portrayed , mostly , as a lonely , egomaniacal , drunken fratboy type. And prone to suffering the idiocy of others. ( i.e. a mailman whom addresses him as "Bob A.Feet" , being trapped in the saarlac pit with an overly chatty & boorish Queeqway , whom wants to discuss "naughty" dreams , etc. ) 75.104.174.53 ( talk) 19:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

"...The reason behind the controversial move of replacing the voice of Wingreen is that as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well [should end here] (although this makes little logical sense, since an individual's way of speaking is shaped - and constantly changed - by the voices they hear around them)." Is that unanimously accepted in science? Even if it is, why is that personal editorial remark needed for this aticle? As soon as you mention something like that, you have to cite its truthfullness for other readers. Then before you know it, there's 4 paragraphs about human speech development in a Boba Fett article.

excuse me but wasn't Boba killed when Han whacked him into the saclaac (or whatever's) mouth?? Armanalp 19:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
can we get a refferance point for that?-- Manwithbrisk 19:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Also, Boba isn't actually killed in the film, he's just swallowed (whole) by the Sarlacc, so his being alive doesn't contradict the higher canon. 68.166.173.232 ( talk) 11:07, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
It was bothering me that Boba was still listed as having died in the Sarlacc, so I fixed it to the proper canonical happenings. (Yes, the EU is canonical, Lucas had a hand in its writing. Plus, Fett's survival does nothing to disrupt the later events.)

these dates we have for boba can't be right boba fett is what 10 in aotc? whihc takes place ten years after the battle of naboo and took place on i believe 35 bby we have boba fetts birth listed here as 72 bby and we have a death date for him that has him die 10 years before the first film is set someone needs to get on this and find a real date of birth for him, in the meantime i'm taking the date down-- Manwithbrisk 04:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
maybe i'm not geting something here but last time i checked that section was on what happened in return of the Jedi not something called a wise bounty hunter why does this section keep getting renamed this way and its Return of the Jedi not Return Of The Jedi-- Manwithbrisk 16:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
i even did a google search, and the only page that came up with the phrase "a wise bounty hunter" was this article-- Manwithbrisk 16:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Is the emphasis on Bobba or Bowba? Londo06 17:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I think this article could mention Boba'a origins in Sergio Leone's Western character. Lucas brings this up on one of the DVD commentaries and i think it's kind important.
I would like to ask everyone not to put "Mandalorian" in the species portion of the character-box. "Mandalorian" isn't a species due to the fact that anyone, of any species, could be accepted as a Mandalorian. "Human," on the other hand, is a species. So, please, leave "Human" in the character-box from now on. Thank you. Arwen Undomiel talk 14:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Is there a Race then? like Republic Humans, Mandalorian Humans and Naboo Humans- Hare —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.59.49 ( talk) 07:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
That this article makes no actual mention of his age, surely there must have been some point in the series that his age is revealed (besides in the young adult series). I might be wrong, but just to make sure, can someone tell me how old he is in ROTJ?
Is there a reason that the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy of books aren't mentioned in this article? They are considered the de facto story of how Fett survives his sarlacc encounter and his immediate events during ROTJ. These books should be mentioned instead of Tales from Jabba's Palace. 163.41.146.79 ( talk) 23:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Boba Fett's appearances should be ordered in real world chronological order like Jabba the Hutt's are. Right now the article mentions his appearances ordered by in-universe chronology. The article should mention his Holiday Special appearance first, then his appearances in episodes V and VI, followed by his appearance in Episode II. -- Jtalledo (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

boba fett's ship was the slave II, not the slave I. jango's ship was the slave I and, it would seem logical that boba named his ship after jango's.-- Themanofsack ( talk) 14:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Should it be noted anywhere that the current photo (boba_fet.jpg) is actually that of a fan in a home-made costume, and not of any of the actors who appeared in the films? Crimson667 ( talk) 17:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
It's not the character, just someone in a fan made costume, as such it does nothing for the article and shouldn't be used as the primary identifying picture.
The character has appeared in enough media that an actual image should be available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.34.219 ( talk) 02:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Fixed this sentence: "Vader asserts that Solo "will not be permanently damaged", marking the only time a character other than Emperor Palpatine makes Vader falter." I included the name Grand Moff Tarkin as another who has once balked Vader. Vader defers to Tarkin's authority as he is psychically strangling a non-believer and releases him upon Tarkin's command. This would indeed mark an instance where someone other than Boba Fett or Emperor Palpatine "makes Vader falter." 72.91.48.24 ( talk) 13:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
so it's ok to use watching ESB as a source for vader conceeding to boba fett, but using NH as a source for vader conceeding to tarkin is unacceptable? tarkin gave vader an order, and vader obeyed it. simple as that. my source? i've seen the movie over 100 times (just like everyone else has). unfortunately, lucas has yet to send me a copy of the script so that i may note which page the line in question is typed on. if you don't believe me, i challenge you to watch the movie and see for yourself. it's a good movie. you might enjoy it. also, please go to the article on the Sun and remove any reference to the Sun being yellow in color as there is no way to properly source this fact, even though every person on the planet can look up and see that it is yellow. at some point doesn't common sense and common knowledge have to prevail in these edit wars? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.143.189 ( talk) 17:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Can someone provide a page number (and edition, since they change across printings and format) and, even better, quote to back up the claim that retconnedly Fett seeded some of the "false" backstories? It's enough basic plot that we don't need it, but it would still be nice to specifically bolster it. -- EEMIV ( talk) 20:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
They say that Boba fett is also one of the Lord of the Rings things like the black Rider's. Is Boba Fett also in Lord of the Rings?? He works for the Eye in that one maybe. 24.250.114.65 ( talk) 22:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)Tibo
Rapper MC Chris made a song "Fett's Vette" that is fairly well known on Youtube.com. I think it should be referenced in the article as it is a fairly significant contribution to the character in popular culture. Mrrealtime ( talk) 19:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Another popular culture reference: Boba Fett was played by The Giant Chicken in Family Guy's Star Wars spoof: Something Something Something Dark Side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.125.12 ( talk) 01:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the following phrase from the Films section is intended to mean? "...supposedly to the sarlacc's death caused by his technology when he survived." I'm reluctant to edit it because I can't figure out what the author was trying to say. Palmpilot900 ( talk) 14:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning as to the reason why Temuera Morrison replaced the original voice of Boba? I know it is briefly implied in Episode II: Attack of the Clones that Jango Fett wanted an unaltered clone, but may be a bit unclear to some. May be worth exploring where George Lucas discusses the change and why he changed the voice in the Special Editions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcconnellsc58 ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Shouldn't his last appearance chronologically be Return of the Jedi, not by year of production? Leopea ( talk) 14:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Boba not only appears in 3 Star Wars Robot Chicken specials ( ILM aided , Lucas encouraged. ) , but in various sketches throughout the series. He is voiced by Breken Meyer (sic ) , and portrayed , mostly , as a lonely , egomaniacal , drunken fratboy type. And prone to suffering the idiocy of others. ( i.e. a mailman whom addresses him as "Bob A.Feet" , being trapped in the saarlac pit with an overly chatty & boorish Queeqway , whom wants to discuss "naughty" dreams , etc. ) 75.104.174.53 ( talk) 19:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
