In the new Jedi Academy trailer (which can be found on the new official website (http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/) ) we see that Boba Fett will be making an appearance in the game. I thought the DF mod team would be interested to hear this. Assuming the mod is going to be for JA, could this be helpful? :)

I'm glad that Boba is in JA. Not only will he be fun to fight, but lots of people think that he is still half-digested in the Sarlacc, and this game proves that Boba lives!

You forget about the timeline, Bobby is definitely 99% digested or dead nowadays :D

I don't think so. The Sarlacc takes a thousand years to digest. Since the movie came out, it hasn't been 999 years yet. He actually wouldn't even be half-digested yet.

Boba Fett or anyone resourceful could easily escape the insides of a sarlacc.

well mars has a base model that has so many different possible surfaces to create clones and mandalorians so his will be more versitile then hapslashs model and both of them will include lods

Doesn't matter who is making what Fett, I think we will all have enough space to download both.

Yeah, I noticed from the pictures he posted that more than one of the characters used the same model. While his can be used in several different ways, mine will always remain Boba Fett. I'm sure that that's going to save him a lot of time, but at the loss of the kind of detail that I'm striving for.

What's more it keeps it's food alive the entire time.

That's not quite true, there had been a jedi in there who almost escaped be was eaten none the less.

Boba blew up his jetpack and used all of his weapons (includeing a few explosives) to escape and ended up in the middle of the desert completely naked (his clothing had been digested off and he had been forced to ditch his armor.) He was in luck as he got picked up (probably because they were looking for surviors of the barge- I don't remember.)

He had spare armor so all was good.

Then Fett came back in Slave 1 a while later, and blaster the Sarlacc with her jets. Haha.

Well, according to the Tales of the Bounty Hunters book, Dengar is the one who finds Boba lying near the Sarlaac. I liked Dengar's tale. It showed that Dengar still had a chance to get his humanity back.

As I remember it:
I believe that the Fett getting out of the Sarlaac issue was first addressed in Tales from Jabba the Hutt's Palace-- he's stuck in the Sarlaac with the ghost of this freaky Jedi, and he keeps telling this idiotic joke about a nerf with only five legs (read it if you don't believe me). He eventually gets out by using his jetpack to blow his way out, but his left leg's been almost entirely eaten. As seen in The Bounty Hunter Wars, Dengar finds him and rescues him, and Fett gets a prosthetic leg and has various adventures; I think he's up to Slave IV in the books. He shows up all the time in the EU. The best place to go for information is probably one of the more recent editions of one of the Star Wars Encyclopedias. That's all I can think of for now... oh, yeah... there's also this guy named Jodo Kast running around pretending to be Boba Fett, but Fett ends up killing him because Kast has broken that twisted code of morals that Fett has. I HATE the fact that the movies change Fett's origin; in the EU he's a former policeman (hence Slave I) who was expelled for killing a superior officer whose orders he didn't agree with. Seriously, guys, just go out and read every Star Wars book ever, like I have. Then you'll understand.

(1) I have read every EU Star Wars book... and
(2) You gots to remember, as one author put it, that the "sandbox" they're "playing in" belongs to "Uncle George," and he's being real nice to let them "play in it." In the end... George's final word is law. Boba is a perfect clone of Jango Fett. What happens to Boba between AotC and when we first meet him in ESB is currently in a grey area, but might be resolved in Episode III. Until all the movies have been written, anything directly contradicted in an EU novel or game simply adds to the mystery surrounding Boba's unknown past. That's what it says in the New Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters; the "Jaster Mereel" garbage (I've never liked that particular "past" explanation) is just a circulating rumor.

I have now spoken my piece.
...so I'm gonna have to jump...!

Lol, nice Homestar Runner quote, Tom!

Personally, I have no problem with Boba's origin in the films. After all, it's Lucas' story, he can do what he wants with it. I don't mind at all that he's a clone. It's a way of explaining how he became such a good bounty hunter; it runs in the family. It also explains a bit of Boba's eagerness to defeat Luke in ROTJ. After all, Luke's kind killed his father, the only person he could count on, the only person he loved. (much as Boba was the only person Jango truly loved) There are plenty of contradictions in EU anyway. For me, I read some of the books, think about what I read, and decide for myself which ones I want to believe and which ones don't work for me. I can't explain it, but some books I've read just don't have that Star Wars "feel" to it. For those works, I simply choose to believe that such a story never happened. Other stories I've read or heard about, but I've changed them to fit my version of the Star Wars saga. For example, my version of the Great Sith War is VERY different from the books. It still has the same general themes to it, (Exar Kun and his double bladed saber, defeated at Yavin, thousands of Sith) but it's definitely a different version of it. After all, part of the magic of Star Wars is letting one's imagination run wild. Your only limit is your imagination, and your imagination can sometimes conjure up a more vibrant, colorful, and fantastic story than even the best author could ever hope to accomplish.

Boba Fett was meant to always be a minor character in Star Wars however due to his immense popularity; he was given a much bigger role such as a guest appearance in Star Wars A New Hope Special Edition and I'm quite sure the link between the Stormtroopers and him was only done due to his popularity.
