Entered by jedi on Mon Mar 24 21:24:59 UTC 1997:

    "They thought they had done it. They thought they had stopped him.
He came back. And he's DYING for some revenge."
    Nice entrance huh? Bobba Fett deserves it.  He's the best
    bounty-hunter ever born. If you're not in here to agree with me,
    you're not in HERE!!!!
A Bobba Fett replica helmet, with all the dents and scratches too, can
be purchased at The Sharper Image stores for $99.99. Along with a
Stormtrooper mask for $99.99. Darth Vader is $75.99.
    Feel free to add on any information on good-old Bobba!

How many people know that Bobba Fett actually appeared in Star Wars, or at
least the Special Edition?  He's at the Cantina.

I haven't read "Shadows of The Empire" yet, but I'd bet this book has some
good parts featuring a bit more of this ultimate bounty hunter.  I've seen
a little bit of the Dark Horse comics version of this story, and I was very
impressed.  Check it out if you haven't already.

an ILM guy dressed up in the suit and was dubbed into the Jabba scene in Star
Wars.  New edition.  bob's appearance in Dark Empire (the one six years after
return)  show how cheap the series was, the way they cheapedned boba as comic
relief.  It was sickening.  He's much better as the nearly silent, imposing
figure in empire.

His death was kinda hokey too.

Bobba Fett's first apperance was in a cartoon in the Star Wars Chrismas
special (which was sooo bad that George Lucas denonces it)

I t was an exception.  But yes, if I recall correctly, it did suck whyen I
saw it when I was like, five.

I apoligize for my mis-spelling of Boba's first name. And I agree with
Senna, he's much better when he just prowls around in the shadows and
stares at you.

did the cartoon resemble something done by Hanna-Barbara?

a little about Boba Fett...
some of this may be common knowledge and i hope it would be if you call
yourself a fan of the all mighty Boba Fett!
his real name was Jaster Mareel. he was a Journeyman Protector on the world
of Concord Dawn. he was exiled from Concord Dawn for killing a fellow
Journeyman Protector. he plead "unrepentant"... his main reason was the guy
deserved it and "everyone dies.". 
he escaped from the Sarlaac pit half dead. his Mandalorian Battle Armor was
destroyed in the Sarlaac pit. he tricked a member of his own guild into
thinking that he needed his services and killed that imposter (who was the
only other bounty hunter who had a Mandalorian Battle Armor) for his Armor.
the Mandaloirians were a race of savage warriors feared throughout the galaxy
during the Clone Wars. but they were wiped out by the empire. 
Boba Fett lives by a set of rules/morals. these morals our obviously based
upon the Bible. he believes that it is wrong to have sex outside of marriage.
he also despises smuggling. the reason he hated Han Solo so much is because
Solo smuggled spice... which in itself is not all that bad (it is not
addictive) but it leads to the abbuse of wosre, addictive substances. 
well... i'm running out of info on Boba Fett for now...
