boba fett couldn't retrieve his own helmet and armor in 5 years on the same planet ?


i thought he was the best bounty hunter in the outer and inner rims ?

reply

Yeah, hopefully that's explained down the road.

reply

I didn't even realise that it WAS Boba Fett at first, he looks completely different, and thus unrecognisable.

reply

Took him five years to get out of the Sarlacc...

reply

he ATE the Sarlacc

reply

He was busy eating Bantha burgers! He sure put on alot of weight.

reply

Good catch. Weak writing.

reply

Its a desperate attempt at catching something. Not having every detail spelled out for you isn't the definition of weak writing.

reply

Why do you say it's desperate?

And it's not a detail. It's a pretty obvious plot gaffe.

reply

It isn't, since we have no idea about any of the back story in that time frame. There could be thousands of reasons, but the omission isn't a plot hole or gaffe or weak writing, its just a part of the story that wasn't explored. It probably will be in the spin-off, which is a more appropriate place for that story anyway.

reply

We don't know how long he was in the Sarlacc, or what kind of condition he was in when he got out. Then he had to track it down.

reply

Should be explained in The Book of Boba Fett.

reply

That's a story........... for another time.
