New Star Wars: Battlefront Trailer. Boba Fett Lives!

Boba FettStar Wars: Battlefront is just three weeks away, and EA has just posted a new trailer for the game, revealing some breathtaking gameplay sequences, as well as some expected story developments…. Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc Pit!

 

Back in July 2014, we shared with you what Johnathan Rinzler (rather, George Lucas himself being paraphrased by Rinzler), said about  Fett making his way out of the Sarlacc pit. Not only that but Katleen Kennedy herself recently revealed that Lucasfilm have some serious plans for the most famous Bounty Hunter from the galaxy far, far away. And while Kathy’s comments were towards the third upcoming stand alone movie, there are many signs that Boba Fett’s fate will be much more different in the new conon from what we’ve seen in Return of the Jedi.

 

From SonyPlayStation:

Prepare to be transported to a galaxy far, far away and fight in epic multiplayer battles and intense Missions on Hoth, Endor, Tatooine and the previously unexplored planet, Sullust. Let’s Play Star Wars™.


 

While the gameplay in Star Wars: Battlefront is not canon, the actual story from the game is…

    I never liked Boba Fett. He pretty much just sucks, contrary to popular belief.

      Please share with us your vast knowledge of Boba fett, and explain to us how and why you have came up with this conclusion that he ” pretty much sucks”. Considering the fact that he was the most feared and highest paid Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy, pretty much contradicts your claim.

        It’s very very simple. I ignore anything not considered canon. So anything in the novels bares little meaning for me. If you go to The Clone Wars, young Boba always has stronger more capable bounty hunters that seemed to be pretty much baby sitting him.
        Move on to Empire, where he sits around and does nothing. He did trail the Millennium Falcon, so I guess he could be The Best Ship Trailer of the Galaxy if you want…
        The threat in Cloud City came from Vader and the storm troopers, not Boba, who was there holding a riffle and not shooting a single time.
        Move to Jedi. So he took Han to Jabba… why is he still hanging out in Jabba’s palace? Is he a bounty hunter? or a Jabba bodyguard.
        Once again, he shoots NOBODY in Jedi. He was gonna shoot Luke but his gun gets chopped of in point blank range. And finally and my favorite part, he proceeds to die by accident to a blind man.
        “Feared” Bounty hunter? Well, show it to me. Don’t tell me about how fearsome he is. Show, don’t tell.
        So, sorry if I don’t like the character you do, but I always considered him a pretty useless guy.
        Despite Attack of the Clones being a terrible movie, we see Jango fight and kill Jedi. Boba doesn’t fire a single shot in the entirety of his appearance in the original trilogy.
        ¿Why does it matter to you so much what I think of him? I talk from what I’ve got and what I care for: The 6 films and The Clone Wars. Pretty much what’s considered canon. Anything else is just glorified fanfiction, and I personally don’t care for it.

          Correction he fires several shots at Luke in Cloud City that damage a wall right next to Luke’s face.

          While i do agree he was under used in Jedi his ten minutes in Empire showed that not all threats came from just the Empire and for the rebels the imperials would use any means to capture them.

          Well, to be fair in the Clone Wars and even in Dark Disciple which is now a part of the new canon, he is treated more as a leader of the bounty hunter group rather than an actual fearless mysterious lone wolf bounty hunter.

          He is very much a different guy by the time the original trilogy rolls around. I too never found him to be that interesting of a character simply because he doesn’t do much just like you said, but I would like to see his progression from a bounty hunter leader as a kid up to his lone wolf mysterious legendary status he achieves during the OT.

          I think people just like him because they like to jump on the bandwagon, and the older generation who saw the OT in theaters only had the toy which said Boba Fett and they were hyped up to see him as this really cool bounty hunter character and then Empire came out and he only had like 5 minutes of screen time lol

          So, those movie viewers liked the mysterious aspect of him. Also, generally if you slap Mandalorian on anything the “hardcore” fans eat it up lol

    I don’t love Boba but I don’t hate him either. I feel Jango was cooler. Boba’s a very interesting character and I’d love to see more of him, especially if he survived the Sarlacc. Let’s be honest though, the only reason he’s “cool” now is because of the idea and mystery on if he survived the Sarlacc, how did he do it?

    I would agree with some that he’s wildly overrated based on how easily Luke/Han handled him in ROTJ. I know he’s the one who tracked down the heroes in ESB but it was Vader that halted the “happy” re-acquaintance with Lando on Bespin and was the real doom for Han & Co.

      I agree with you on that. I thought Jango was cooler, because he actually DID THINGS in his film. He assassinated someone, fought with Jedi, took part in a space battle, and submitted himself as a template for the clone army. So not only did he do badass things, but he has an entire army with his face on it. That’s pretty freakin’ cool.

        jango assassinated his own assassin, instead of either shooting the jedi next to her or taking the moment to kill a now unguarded padme… which was what he was paid to do. jango was pretty cool, but that whole sequence still bothers me.

          His assassin was about to rat Jango and his employers out to the Jedi. He killed her before she could. If he shot Obi-Wan, he’s a jedi and may have dodged or deflected the poison dart. If he’d managed to kill Obi-Wan he then would have had Anakin immediately chasing him and alerting the authorities. By that time Padme’s security would have escorted her to a safer place after she was nearly killed. Don’t think she would have sat down on the couch to drink a cup of warm blue milk and then gone back to bed with a jedi-sized hole in her window.
          He obviously wanted to assassinate Padme as quietly as possible given the way they tried to kill her. Not flying up to her apartment and blasting her. And he didn’t want to be identified, that’s why he used another assassin. When their plan went to shit, he had to make a quick decision and act fast and escape.
          NOW, if he would have shot at Anakin (who was a better target because he was busy at the moment being moody, whiny and annoying) he could have killed him, and the rest of the prequels would have been MUCH better.

            a couple things wrong with this.
            1.) the jedi didn’t know he was going shoot, or else they would have saved the other assassin.
            2.) they could have chased Jango regardless. i mean, they chased down the other dude across coruscant in speeders. while jango only has a rocket pack.
            3.) jango used a toxic dart that could be traced back to kamino, so i’m assuming he(or dooku) wanted them to know anyway.
            4.) there was a golden opportunity when the first attack failed, when both obi-wan and anakin leave padme alone with her hand maiden, to kill her. shoot her with your fancy toxic dart and get out of dodge. simple.
            5.) if he didn’t want to be identified, why go at all? or at least, why wear very distinctive mandalorian armor? that was the opposite of a low profile.

            1)The jedi can sense threats and deflect blaster bolts with the force. We see it constantly. Obi-Wan would have waved his hand and deflected the dart from himself. Now to your point, if he could do that, why didn’t he deflect it from the assassin to save her for more questioning. THAT was the part that always bothered me. That Jango killed his own assassin to silence her made sense to me which is what you had initially said bothered you.
            2)They were on foot and on the ground. Jango was much higher up when he took off straight into the sky. They would have had to have ran back down the street, back through the club to the other side of the building on another street back to their speeder. They were not sitting in a speeder parking lot unfortunately. They must have thought it would have been a waisted effort.
            3)It took a ridiculous amount of research for Obi-Wan to figure out that the dart came from Kamino.(waisted a lot time in the movie too)He did not pull the dart out of the assassins neck and see Made in Kamino written on the side. Dooku had gone to the effort of erasing Kamino from the jedi records and Jango could not of known in the split second he took to make the decision to kill her that one of the jedi down there would have a friend who ran a diner that would recognize his dart. If it was the plan to leave a clue like you said, then you answered your own question that it was a deliberate, rather than pointing out something wrong that I had said.
            4)The golden opportunity you mention would have to assume that Jango was anywhere near Padmes apartment. We do not see him lurking outside another window watching to see if it worked. We didn’t see him the entire chase until the end. If he would have been chasing behind the jedi instead of going back to kill Padme, your point would make sense. She wasn’t alone with her handmaiden. 2 security guys ran into the room to protect her when the jedi left to give chase.
            5)He probably went to make sure the job got done properly. If it was a failure he could then inform Dooku immediately. He couldn’t have forseen that the assassination attempt would fail or that any of the events that followed would happen. Like I said before, their whole plan went to shit. He revealed himself in mandalorian armor because he was in damage control. What would have been worse at that point. Being seen at a distance in armor, or allowing her to reveal his name.

            1.) glad we agree on something. 😉
            2.) obi-wan’s speeder wasn’t that far away, jango’s got a limited range slow moving jet pack, and they just finished tracking down one shape shifting bounty hunter in a city of billions. it was like they just gave up, obi-wan didn’t even call anybody. oops there he goes, slowly getting way, don’t try and stop him or anything.
            3.) i’m still not sure exactly what the plot was with jango and clones. personally, it feels like jango intentionally left evidence to point obi-wan towards kamino. i mean for palpatine’s plan to succeed, obi-wan had to find the clones or the clone wars don’t happen. but its too vague to know for sure.
            4.) if jango wasn’t backstopping things, thats really sloppy on his part, especially since the assassin has already failed once. also, i don’t recall any security showing up, but even so, jango goes toe to toe with jedi later, whats two security guards. shoot them and be done with it.
            5.) he didn’t know it would fail? blowing up the ship at the beginning failed, whats to say this one won’t too? especially with jedi involved now. also he was in full armor already when he was giving the bugs to the other guy.
            6.) one other point i just thought of: how stupid is it to go through all the trouble of bugs and bombs and all that when you got a shape shifting assassin? kill padme’s handmaiden or chief of security, take their place and kill padme that way. why did lucas write that in if wasn’t going to use it ever? so much of that movie doesn’t make sense.

            So much of the prequels didn’t make sense. They should not require so much explaining. It would make sense if Jango, having seen that it was going to be a lot harder to kill Padme than he had planned, moved on to a different scheme (or Dooku assignment) and deliberately left evidence to get Obi-Wan to find Kamino and get the clone wars moving along.
            Ya they did kinda give up there after Jango killed the assassin. Maybe they want back to the club for some drinks?
            The shape shifting assassin is a good one. Never even thought of that. Would have made things much easier. Think Mystique in the X-men movies.
            Despite that the reasons for some of the things that Jango did are unclear, I still think Jango is a way better bounty hunter in the movies than Boba though. You gotta be pretty good to be the template for an entire clone army. He had a space battle with Obi-Wan, and fought him on Kamino to a draw (Darth Maul got cut in half when he fought Obi-Wan) he killed an assassin, and even killed Jedi. Boba tracked a ship and delivered a carbonite dude.

            If he was that badass, why pay another assassin to do your job, and come up with the worlds worst assassination attempt involving two giant millipedes. Why not jetpack to the window and cut the hole himself then shoot padme. It Justs reminds me how much the prequels suck and don’t make any sense.

            I never once said he was THAT BADASS. I was answering the above question about why Jango would kill his own assassin. To stop her from ratting him out. He used someone else because it gave him insurance against getting caught. Also working together made sense in that he had the poisonous millipedes and she had the droid that could drop them off undetected. Neither of them had to be there to get caught in the act with their plan. If Jango cut a hole in the glass to just shoot Padme, he immediately would have alerted Padme and her security to his presence with his loud jetpack.

          Why risk a shot at a Jedi, when you can kill the rat that’s going to spill the beans? Jedi are NOT easy to kill. Also what makes you think a senator would be left unguarded? I’m sure after the threat was evident and the two Jedi left, guards came flushing in. If anything Jango was smart not to go back there.

          Personally, I thought that Jango was likely hired simply to start the goose chase. Palpatine was a smooth bastard, and he wanted the Jedi to discover the clones. It was time to start the war.

          I always thought Jango’s job was nothing more than to attract some Jedi attention, and the entire kill-Padme plot was a ruse. He hired some scrub to take the fall, left easily-traced evidence at the scene, and lead the Jedi where they needed to be for Palp’s scheme to work.

    What story? I thought they officially said there is no story mode. And while the game visually looked absolutely amazing in the Beta, which I tried out, I have zero interest in multiplayer of any kind, especially those 10-on-10 kinda battles. Had they actually put a single player story mode, I would be going crazy for this game. As is, it’s beautiful looking, but I don’t care at all to play it.

    I never liked Boba Fett. Not even when I saw him for the first time 30 years ago. I thought his armor looked cool, but that was it. He was a UPS delivery man in TESB, and got killed by a blind man in ROTJ. I can understand people thinking he was cool initially after TESB because he was this mysterious figure. But when he went on to do absolutely nothing in ROTJ, I lost all interest. My opinion of him after Jedi was that he was a loser. All show and no go.
    I totally don’t get the obsession with him 35 years after his debut. It makes no sense. And now its gotten so bad they are resurrecting him from the dead! Why? To what point and purpose? If he survived the DREADED sarlaac pit, then it obviously wasn’t that dangerous to begin with, which undermines the story. Luke, Han, Chewie, Lando-they weren’t in any serious danger. They could have just crawled out and walked away. Stupid. I don’t understand why they would undermine the OT for one useless background character.

      AND they are going to give this guy his own Anthology movie aswell! Better yet, if they want to retcon him so bad into a badass bounty hunter that actually does something on screen, don’t stop there! Put him in the new Rogue One movie. Have him running around doing badass shit. And because that still wont be enough, then put him in the Han Solo movie and show us how awesome he is again! That way you would enhance the OT. Chronologically, when he shows up in Empire, he will actually have 3 movies now showing what an awesome bad guy he is thus enhancing his presence in the OT movies. All the Boba Fett fanboys can get their rocks off on seeing their hero actually doing something in the 3 anthology movies. That way when he falls into the sarlaac pit in Jedi, everyone will have satiated their Boba Fett fetish and he can stay in there and rot for the next 1000 years. Please.

          You have not heard all rumors that the anthology film that Josh Trank pulled out of was going to be a Boba Fett movie?It was going to come out in 2018. When Trank left, they moved up the Han Solo movie into its spot and bumped that anthology film back to 2020. With the director now up in the air, they didn’t make the rumor official. But the rumors of the Rogue One synopsis and the Han movie both turned out to be true. I hope the 2020 film is a bounty hunter movie with new characters. Boba might still be in it, but hopefully its not completely centered around him.

So far, all that is announced is the new trilogy, and 2 standalone films, which are Rogue One and the Solo flick. If anything, i bet Fett becomes apart of the inevitable Netflix series.

        He did, but I don’t think that finding a ship means he deserves all this time and energy spent on him instead of creating new characters and stories. And after he found Han, who did all the heavy lifting? Who was the real badass villain and threat to the heroes? Darth Vader. Vader captured Leia and Chewie, tortured Han and then froze him in carbonite and kicked the shit out of Luke. Definitely not the guy standing there watching the whole time and doing nothing. But he is the one they are resurrecting?

            Your comments prove my first comment above perfectly. Cool armor. Check. Mysterious figure. Check. Add in an ominous comment that Vader says about no disintegrations to make him SOUND dangerous. Check. And then…….he proceeds to do nothing whatsoever to validate all the hype. How many disintegrations does he proceed to do in the movies? Kill anyone at all to PROVE he is dangerous? All show. No go. The presentation of him initially, and then fans of his like yourself, have been TELLING me that he’s badass. For 30 years since I first saw him I’ve been listening to the hype. He never DID anything in TESB and ROTJ. SHOW me how he’s awesome. Being valued doesn’t make you badass. That makes you…valued. And he’s a standout character in your opinion in one scene, but then does nothing standout after that? I’m so tired of hearing that.
            Have you watched the Clone Wars TV series? They created NEW badass looking bounty hunters in that series. Aurra Sing. Cad Bane. Win or lose they actually did BADASS things. This illustrates that Lucasfilm is capable of creating NEW exciting characters, bounty hunters specifically without having to always dredge up Boba Fett.

      I think the reason he dates so badly is simply due to the prequels.

      The simple fact is that even Luke looks pretty average fighting compared to a prequel Jango Fett. He just swings the saber around wildly. If Boba Fett was in a movie now, it would probably be pretty cool.

        I agree that the fighting in the Prequels makes the OT fighting look dated. But if Boba was defeated in a fight by a Luke who was just swinging his saber around wildly, and then killed by a blind guy, I have ZERO interest in seeing him fight in a modern movie. Make a cool new bounty hunter and have she/he kick some ass on screen. Leave Boba to get digested.

      I think it’s just the mystique of him – a blank canvas on which to project one’s imagination – if you will,
      I liked him in the OT because there was little of him, including his death.
      A lot of people are torn up over his sarlacc death but I always thought the death was appropriate. The truly badass do not deserve an awesome death. Boba had BAD SCHWARMA – and gets accidentally killed by Han.
      Ironically, if Han wasn’t carbonation-blinded, Han would’ve screamed a war-cry, to which Boba would have easily countered. But Han was blinded by Boba’s actions, thus, Boba wasn’t expecting an attack from him, enabling his death.

      If that is not comeuppance, i do not know what is.

      Boba Fett – overrated, but still kinda neat, but totally an asshole who deserves the lame death he got – and sometimes, that’s okay.

        Interesting take on his death. Karmas a bitch. What goes around comes around. I just wish his CHARACTER would stop coming around!

          Unfortunately the blank canvass was left blank in the OT. In the PT it was scribbled on with crayon by a bitchy, angry little kid. If little kid Boba in AOTC didn’t ruin the Boba Fett mystique and the AURA of him being a badass, then I guess nothing will.

          I’m borderline, the Sarlacc pit was definitely a good thing — that doesn’t mean that is THE END for him though… that’s my take on it

    Why must they continue to use the WHUUMP lightsaber sound from the prequels? And why is Leia in winter gear on a DESERT planet instead of her Tattooine garb? Why is Luke in his ROTJ outfit on a winter planet instead of his Hoth gear? DARRRRHHHHLLLLL

        Han DID NOT shoot first. This is clear, and has been very clear for some time. He is the ONLY ONE who shot!

    Bare with me, I’m baked…

    There is potential to make the first Star Wars comedy movie here. Basically the hangover in space…

    So Boba’s buddy is getting married on Tatoine and they’re partying up at Jabba’s. (Jabba gets ordained online or whatever)

    After capturing Skywalker they party up so hard that they black out.

    They wake up and find all sorts of weird space slime on their mouths and whatnot. The place is filty as, dead slave hookers and Max Reebo has od’d on jawa juice.

    But what’s this???They can’t find the groom anywhere…

    So they take the usual road trip, learn some lessons, maybe fall in love.
    As I’m a failed screenwriter, there is no 3rd act.

    The Shamalamadingdong twist???
    Turns out the groom (on Wookie Weed or something) put on Boba Fetts suit and took his place at the Sarlac Pitt.

    So Boba, being an actual bad arse goes into the sarlac to save his mate. Dead, alive, there’s a few options here. I personally want the guy to have started melting.. and Boba can grab his suit and climb back out.

    The groom is dead (bummer) or alive for that disney ending, and Boba Fett is not only alive, but his honour restored to the community. Horrah

    Sorry if you read all of that.

    B.F died. Darth Maul was cut in half and died. To Retcon Star Wars with something that is asking you to suspend reasoning altogether in order to continue to suspend disbelief is damaging to Star Wars. It’s going to start to look like the Terminator or Metal Gear story up in here if we are not careful.

        Please, there’s some common sense to be considered, isn’t it?The word “game” implies some story freedom. Uprising is canon, for instance, but the character you create to play is not (you are not that important). It applies for this game. Sullust is what we see here from now on. The same will be for Jakku. Vader and Solo in an epic combat, that’s another deal.

        Boba Fett scaping the Sarlacc sounds good, but the trailer proves anything.

        Yeah because it’s possible that luke on hoth wielded a green lightsaber. Come on…

      The STORY is canon, not the individual battles that you fight in throughout the game. Heroes are just added flavor to the battles for gameplay sake, not canonical representations of them physically participating in said battles.

    That shot of Boba Fett doesnt really prove anything. It could easily just be a shot from a mission set during the execution of Luke.

        yeah well I KNOW it is not totally correct, and it is SarlaCC not Sarlakk.. but you could red it like Lor San T’kka too and it still would work 😉 my point is that it is too much of a coincidence, more a nod than an pure anagram I agree.

      Yeah they sure wouldn’t would they? They probably wouldn’t have Luke using his green saber and wearing his black Jedi duds on Hoth either would they? Or have the Emperor fighting on the ground on Hoth either right? Those things mustr have happened too right? Nope, sorry. That all falls under:
      -it’s a game
      -it’s supposed to be fun
      -game-play trumps canon *where applicable
      -it was the same way in the original games
      You do know that there are hero battles in the game also, with heroes fighting in places they never were, I guess that means all that actually happened too right?

        Lucas has already confirmed that Fett survived. This is old news.

          I was strictly speaking to the use of the game as evidence which should have been obvious by my other examples. As to whats been confirmed or not, Lucasfilm has stated plainly that what was on screen at the time of the Disney acquisition was what was canon. So Lucas making a comment about it beforehand doesn’t matter.

        There is even a video on youtube with George where he states that Fett did not die. Shame on you for thinking you could trump Lucas.

        • November 2, 2015 at 8:48 am
          Permalink

          Which means nothing since Lucasfilm/Kathleen Kennedy have stated that everything outside of what was put on screen prior to the acquisition by Disney isn’t canon. Therefore Lucas making a comment to his survival means jack. Thanks though.

    This means nothing. Its just a fourth-wall-break as a wink to the fans. They have already said that this game is not truely canon save for the locations and battle of Jakku. Rebels didn’t have jet-packs on endor either but it makes for fun gameplay.
