"Who is more of a ba...s, Boda Fett or Darth Vader?" Topic

It occured to me today when I was looking at the DVD for Star Wars "Attack of the Clones"; who is the bigger badass Darth Vader or Boda Fett? Now I know on the collector's market for SWMB figures it is hands down Boda Fett or his Father Jango Fett are the rarest and most costly to obtain. And lets face it Jango Fett's offspring is much more of a badass then the fruit of Darth Vader's loins. You can get a punk Luke on ebay for $1.99 USD. I am just saying.

NOTE: corrections to father and son changed above.

Fett – died when accidently hit on his jetpack and eaten by Meg, or the pit monster. Case closed.

Vader!
Fetts are overrated.

Fett crawled out of the Pit and came back with a vengeance

Fett Wins

You are thinking of Jango!
(Opps! MY BAD I am the one confused.)

Boda, when the truth comes out will be told he survived the Sarlacc being spit out in the unwritten part of "Empire Strikes Back". Boda Fett "father" was beheaded by Mace Windu a "real" Jedi Master who was 2nd only to Yoda in his prime.

Any man who sets off a thermal detonator and crawls out of the belly of a massive sand monster is bad.

Lets not forget that vader is just that whiny brat anikin cyborged up.

Fett also ends up returning to Mandalor and becoming the leader of all the mandalorians. Fett and Wedge are my favorite characters. They are the only mundane characters who can go toe to toe with a jedi and come out on top.

In the comic series Bobba Fett had the chance to kill Vader but knew in that instance if he did he would become the most hunted man in the galaxy.

Sorry James but you have it backwards.

Boda Fett – my favorite ever Star Wars character.

Vader wiped out a whole sand people settlement before he turned Badass now that is badass.

Boba Fett is a lot more Cool.

Opps YOU are correct I had a senior moment between dealing with a veteran who was about to go postal and eating lunch.

My bad.

Vader eats Bobas for breakfast and deficates Jangos before lunch.

Darth Vader had to "become" a badass, Boda was cloned one from the start.

Vader, anyone other than Luke would be finished in short order.

Vader.

The prequels do not exist.

(And don't even get me started on that lame-o Darth Maul.)

Vader, hands down.

Fett

Vader had to become bad-ass and also seemed to have regrets from time to time

After all, "The Emperor is not so forgiving as me"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" -Emo Vader.

Isn't Vader Bobba Fetts real FATHER?

Well… Going by just the movie canon, Boba ain't much of anything. He does what, gives Vader a little lip when told no disintegrations, sneaks around in space on Slave 1 – out thinks the rest of the Empire and Han Solo, by being in the right place to track him give him that. Does he Capture Han, no he makes a 'phone call' for Vader to come pick Han up on the cloud city, big deal. Mops around Jaba's palace, and then gets whacked in the back by a blind Han and falls into the Sarlacc pit. Kills: 0 – Captures: 0 (Vader hands Solo over to him, so Vader gets the assist) what's B** about that?
Vader racks up a kill in the first 10 minutes of the first movie; force chokes other Imperials he doesn't like, kills his old mentor (Okay so it's not a true kill) tortures Leia, shoots down 7 rebel X-wings and Y-wings, and that's the first movie.
The only time Boba Fett is B** A** is off screen, in books and comics. A lot of which is not considered in any way ‘canon'.

Vader.

All that exists are the original three films (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi). And, frankly, I'm not of the opinion the last one should exist.

But in any case, this means that Boba* Fett got knocked into a giant immobile stomach by a blind guy, who did it accidentally. And then the pit burped. Lamest villain death ever. And that makes Boba Fett equally lame. At least Vader died in a straight-up fight, and retained his cool, bad--- status through to the end of the film. Even if you add in the three abominations-that-shall-not-be-named, the end of Boba Fett remains lame. And remember that Boba Fett in the abomination-ilms is nothing but a kid, who does absolutely nothing aside from fly off with his dad's armor. So he's not a b--a-- at all; he's just some guy trying to live up to the name of another guy who got his head sliced off. What's b--a-- about that? Nothing. It turns out that at best, Boba Fett is nothing but the Imperial Clone Troopers' forgotten kid brother.
I repeat: Lamest. Villain. Ever.
And he could have been so cool.

Vader wins, even after the travesty of the abomination-ilms.

(*And it's B-O-B-A, guys. If you can't spell it, or get him mixed up with Jango, you have no standing on which to comment.)

Vader

It's not even close.

Fett never whined a day in life. Vader spent his first 20+ years doing nothing but whining. Fett wins!

I found this to prove my point:

Sometimes a picture is worth a 1,000 words:

Boda

I find your lack of faith Disturbing ….

If your willing to add in all the extra stuff beyond New Hope thru Jedi, then Boba Fett does plenty of whining about Mace and the other Jedi in the cartoon series. And let's face it, how badass can you really be when your first appearance was on the holiday special?

Vojvoba doesn't know what he's talking about.

:)

B-O-B-A

There is NO character in Star Wars called "Boda"

The only things that count in the "history" are the movies.
Lucas happily changed and ignored non-movie stuff and so will Disney.
comics and side novels are just figments of someone else's imagination.

So, from the movies, all I can see is a guy in a beat up Corinthian Helmet who stands in the background in a lot of scenes.

By the time the rest of the Disney movies are done, we'll have learned that Jar Jar was the ultimate bad.

In movie 3, Anakin/Vader personally butchered scores of children in the Jedi Temple…makes him seriously evil…bad ass?? Well, he can deflect blaster bolts with his hand and choke you to death from a few dozen feet away, so pretty bad ass as well…

Darth Vader…..Boba Fett works for Vader, so he is Vader's bitch.

No matter how bad ass Vader is he will always be "Ani", Fett wins.

Boba, until they replaced his sinister voice with an Aussie!

No matter how bad ass Vader is he will always be "Ani", Fett wins.

And Fett is "little Boba." Remember— he's just a kid in the prequels. Does nothing but stare. Meh.

"Boba, until they replaced his sinister voice with an Aussie!"

The actors for the clones and Fetts ( incuding the young Boba and young clones )are New Zealander Maori , the accent is Maori and quite distinct from our Aussie slang.

Check out the actors performance in "Once were Warriors "

As cool as Boba is , its Vader for the win in the bad*ss stakes.

Btw I wonder how many people here remember Fetts first appearance

Hint, it wasnt Empire Strikes Back

I missed the accent trivia, but I know that one! An animated short as part of the Holiday Special (same animator that did the 'Droids' series, I believe).

The Cone Wars cartoons do not exist as far as I am concerned!

BTW

LOL. I luv this thread!

I never got all the fanfare over Boba Fett. All he does in the movie is transport a frozen guy, stand around, then gets hit in the back by a blind guy and falls into a giant sand anus. Not exactly inspiring. And I ignore all non-movie nonsense of him escaping that was just written to keep the fanboys happy.

Also, why does he have to be warned "no disintegrations"? What kind of bounty hunter disintegrates his target? Good luck collecting the reward!

Fett: "I'm here for my payment, I got the target."
Contractor: "So, where is the prisoner/corpse?"
Fett: "Funny story…"

And don't even get me started on the whole all stormtroopers are clones of Boba Fett's dad thing…

FETT! Need I say More.

Boba Fett. That incident with the sarlac was just a minor bump in the road.

Fett. Anyone who can get away with wearing spurs in a sci-fi movie is a complete badass. (Take a listen -- you'll hear them.)

You would never hear Boba tell Darth Vader, "I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further." Partly because Darth would force-choked Fett to death before he even finished the word "altering."

Vader.

Fans _want_ Fett to be more bad-ass, but that's all there is to it.

Vader! No question!

Boba Fett first appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Since I'm a huge fan of the movies and books, this is a difficult decision.
Both characters gain advantages from the books which affirms their own Bad @$$-ness.
The Fett is a ruthless, fearless, spec-op mercenary bountyhunter. He fights hard and cheats( read fights hard), survived the scarloc pit, has ended more enemies than he made, and is feared enough to make Han Solo nervous when hearing his name. Being a walking arsenal with wookie scalp braids just adds to it all.
Vader is mostly cyborg and is so powerful, that his precence is enough to quail civil and military leaders who cannot be certain of Vader's mood because of the life-support helmet. Vader also has his own private Imperial army and his very own massive star ship.
But, Vader will get my vote as bad@$$, because his own will substains his wrecked body as well as the amount of force drawn to keep it going.
Vader also not only survived Palpatine's force lighting attack, but also hurled him to his death…something the Jedi bad@$$es ,Mace and Yoda, couldn't do.
Brilliant poll btw! It's been a great thread to read!

Vader is more bad@$$ than Fett.
But Fett is bad@$$ enough that he talks back to Vader and DOESN'T get Force choked.

Naw. Vader doesn't Force choke Fett because Vader has a use for him. Fett knows it, but he also knows when to shut up. And when that use is done, Fett's as screwed in Vader's presence as anybody else (short of Luke).

Much as I love the Fettster, he ain't a patch on Vader for badassery.
