Paladone Product Star Wars Boba Fett Figural Light

Product Information

Boba Fett is a " cult figure" and one of the most popular Star Wars characters. [15] [107] In 2008, Boba Fett was selected by Empire magazine as the 79th greatest movie character of all time, and he is included on Fandomania 's list of The 100 Greatest Fictional Characters. [108] [109] IGN ranked Boba Fett as the eighth top Star Wars character, due to his status as a fan-favourite and cult following. [110] He personifies "danger and mystery", [7] and Susan Mayse calls Fett "the unknowable Star Wars character" who "delivers mythic presence." [111] Although Tom Bissell asserts that no one knows why Boba Fett has become so popular, nor cares why, both Lucas and Bulloch cite Fett's mysterious nature as reasons for his popularity. [9] [15] Bulloch, who has never fully understood the character's popularity, attributes it to the costume and the respect Fett garners from Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. [25] Fett's addition to the Special Edition of A New Hope was criticized by Screen Rant, which called it "pointless fan service". [44]

In June 2020, it was reported that Temuera Morrison would appear as Fett in the second season of The Mandalorian. [51] [40] As the series takes place five years following Return of the Jedi, this would confirm the character's survival after his fall into the sarlacc's mouth and retcon his apparent death. In the second season's premiere, " Chapter 9: The Marshal", it is explained that Fett's armor was salvaged by Jawas after his supposed death, and then bought by Cobb Vanth, a character first introduced in the Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy of novels, who used it to protect the Tatooinian village of Mos Pelgo from various threats. [52] [53] In the episode, the armor is eventually obtained by the Mandalorian after Vanth relinquishes it so that it could be returned to its rightful owners: the Mandalorian people. As he leaves with the armor, the Mandalorian is watched from the distance by a heavily scarred Fett. [17] [54] [21] Couch, Aaron (December 18, 2020). "Disney+ Sets New 'Mandalorian' Spinoff".

In the latter episode, Fett is initially at odds with Bo-Katan Kryze, the former ruler of Mandalore and one of the allies that the Mandalorian tries to recruit to help save Grogu because she calls him a disgrace to his Mandalorian armor due to his origins as a clone. Despite this, the two reluctantly work together to rescue the child from Moff Gideon, with Fett creating a distraction that allows the rest of the crew to board Gideon's ship. After this, Fett flies into hyperspace and is not seen again until a post-credits scene, in which he and Fennec return to Tatooine after their debt is paid off. Fett kills Bib Fortuna, who has been in charge of Jabba's palace since his death, and then sits on the throne that once belonged to Jabba, with Fennec at his side.
