[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7842879, member: 177"] Here, I shall start a minor battle: Boba Fett was not iconic. He was [i]A CHUMP[/i]! He doesn't [I]DO[/I] anything! Boba Fett gets told to not disintegrate anyone. He then follows the Millennium Falcon, calls Vader when his target stops for a minute, and then picks up the carbonite Han-cicle and gets paid by Jabba the Hutt. He then is a hanger-on wannabe in a Hutt palace - which pretty much qualifies him as Sarlacc chow. If he'd personally fought Han to a standstill, or otherwise actually acted to capture his targets, maybe. But his role could have been played by a bloody tracking beacon on the Falcon, but for the fact that Vader's people couldn't find their Sith with both hands. That's not iconic. Um... perhaps you missed the theme that evil isn't terribly imaginative, and needs to compensate for something. Space Opera is not known for coherence. It is known for melodrama. The real reason for lightning: "Just like a Jedi to bring a laser-sword to a lightning fight. Oh, wait, that's right - you're a goody-two-shoes Jedi, and don't get to throw lightning! ZAPzapzap!" Your suggestion, sir, that John Williams could and would have allowed anything other than excellent work to be placed on film would normally be grounds for a gauntlet slapped across your face, and a challenge of a saber duel at dawn. However, we will allow that your grief over the death of your Beloved Boba has clouded your judgement, and let it slide. For now.... [/QUOTE]
