[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 7796086, member: 59082"] I'm mixed on this, and thus probably agree with the "part of me" part. On one hand, Boba Fett was an icon of my youth and I always loved the idea that he survived the Sarlacc Pit. On the other, it might ruin the mystique if he survived. As a general rule, bringing back dead or missing characters usually seems to have less of an impact than just leaving it mysterious. It is sort of like discovering "Terra Incognita" and then realizing it was more interesting and mysterious when it was unknown. That said, I suspect the Mandalorian will at least give us hints. Either the main character himself will mention his "prior life" and drop hints that [I]could [/I]be interpreted as him being Boba, or they'll mention Boba at some point. I also wouldn't be surprised if Boba turns up as a crime boss. I suppose we could also read into their choice in setting it between episodes 6 and 7, which allows them to have a youngish Boba Fett. If we assume that Boba was 30-40ish in ROJ (he had a reputation and had presumably been around for awhile, so probably not younger than 30), he'd be 60-70ish in episodes 7-9 and thus definitely not playable by Pedro Pascal. But given that Pascal is 44, he could reasonably play Fett in an age range of 35-50ish. [/QUOTE]
