Needs to lose 20lbs to be taken seriously


I'm liking the show but the armour doesn't even fit him, he looks like an out of shape cosplayer.

and 20 years.

Indeed. It's not possible for me to watch TESB, Return of the Jedi, and this back to back and believe that Boba is the same person.

reply

Yeah you could tell Boba was a thin person based on how loose his clothes were for an already avg size guy in TESB and ROTJ.

reply

It's a bit like Rogue One and ANH.

In that instance we clearly saw the rebel plans not being beamed onboard the Tantive IV. Here we clearly see an in shape Boba Fett going into the pit, yet a portly one coming out.

Busted continuity.

reply

They were beamed from Scarif to the ships in orbit and Tantive IV was docked at the time - how exactly was Vader meant to know it was only to 1 ship? It's not like he was sitting at the console with his headphones on.

The data card they were carrying could have been any number of important pieces of information that the rebels needed to escape with - if he saw it at all (if he did he would have force pulled it).

reply

Er, because Vader literally watched the troops passing the data tape plans along the line and into the Tantive IV.

He literally saw with his own eyes that they hadn't been beamed aboard that ship...

reply

Did you even read?

Who says he saw it? If he had of he could have easily force pulled it from them. Since he didn't, it's more likely that he didn't see it as he was busy carving up rebels.

Plus he mistakingly thought they were beamed to Tantive directly instead of the cruiser, so why would he be looking for hand transfered data tapes?

reply

...he mistakingly thought they were beamed to Tantive directly instead of the cruiser...

😂 LOL. He's only mistakenly anything because the clown Rogue One writers couldn't simply marry up their story with George Lucas' ANH lines:-

"You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies."

As I was saying before, watching Rogue One with those lines in mind is as stupid as watching thin Boba Fett fall into the pit and fat Boba Fett come out.

reply

It's nowhere near as big an issue as fat bobba.

reply

He's 61, tougher to keep fit at that age and still look intimidating.

reply

They could've at least resigned it to fit his buff stature. And he's not fat, just heavily muscled like The Rock.

reply

Well it's more old man big core figure I can agree, he's a Pacific Islander after all.

A redesign would have been a good idea.

reply

Is he?

Haven't seen the show, but he seems to look fine here:

Or are those just selective screenshots that don't show his portly side?

reply

He also needs to stop talking so much and stop taking his helmet off in every scene. This guy is not the Boba Fett we see in the original trilogy.

reply

He's Jake The Muss. He doesn't need to lose any weight.
