fett never dies
dude is wearing armor and just kinda falls into a pit with tentacles
thrawn never dies
bevel is force alchemy
Fett was fed to the sarlacc. For all intents and purposes he was considered dead and being digested for the next thousand years or so, until someone decided that he had escaped.
Thrawn was stabbed in the chest by a Noghri.
Bevel was still killed and brought back to life.
I'm not sure how these counter my original point that, in Star Wars (and numerous other IPs that are written by multiple authors), dead (or presumed dead) bad guys have a tendency to come back when an author wants them to. More so when said bad guys have names.
That's going to be interesting to see with the new Fett movie coming out if they decide to resurrect him in the new films.
Check out this awesome character who dies like a punk later in his career isn't the best selling point for an action franchise.

Boba Fett is kinda like the human version of the deathstar.
Super-badass killing machine taken out like a chump because of a design flaw in the exhaust port.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

The official canon is that he is sarlacc food.
Oh I know, I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if they change that with the new stand alone film coming out. He could be in the background of a scene and that would be enough for some. FETT LIVES or somesuch.

You'd think so.
And yet, Boba Fett is ridiculously popular among Star Wars fans.
I really don't get it.
ARMOR IS FUCKIN' COOL

And here's the weird thing: now that all the weird Fandalorian crap has been jettisoned like so much trash from a Star Destroyer (along with the rest of the Legends continuity) from canon, I would, weirdly, be entirely down with Fett getting a movie where he comes back like a bat out of hell and wrecks a whole bunch of faces.
EDIT: But it would have to be done well. Like, he needs to have scars, and not just physical ones. Claustrophobia would be an entirely logical fear to pick up, and an interesting one for someone who habitually wears a helmet with full face mask...

I'd rather see Bossk, IG-88, and Dengar form a Good, Bad, and Ugly trio in the new movies.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I watched the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back a couple of days ago and unlike the other two films the changes to this one are quite organic and hard to spot. Aside from Boba Fett's voice change. However, I can't even remember what he used to sound like.
Seriously name anyone else with armor and a half-cape that isn't a badass
I think the question we need to ask is does the armor and half-cape make a badass? Or is it just that the person knows they're badass enough to pull off the armor/halfcape look?

Lando doesn't even need the armor. The capeis all that is needed. If Lando ever wore armor, the sheer concentrated badass would have the destructive power of the death star's main laser!

The Cult of Fett was made because he said little, looked cool and did little in 1980. This was also the rise of the anti hero.
But with what little came out in books and comics helped the cult of fett
I feel that the clones are made from Jango Fett and Boba is an unaltered clone was made to destroy the cult of Fett
I don't like the Fett stories where he's like, the new Mandalorian boss or whatever, and trains people to fight Jedi and is totally unbeatable and stuff
I really like the ones where he's just a guy who's good at bounty hunting and doesn't really give a rip about any of that other stuff
Star Wars needs more characters that are just competent, driven individuals making it in a wild-west-like space society and fewer wizard samurai, royalty and best-_____-in-the-galaxys.

he is the strongest and most competent of mandalorians, why would he not become the new mandalore?
I'm not sure I dig him even being an actual Mandalorian, though
I like his old backstory where he basically used to be a space cop who was too much of a loose cannon and just got his hands on a set of the armor
In fact I kinda liked not having established exactly who the Mandalorians are or what their society is like

also mandalorians were straight up supposed to be in episode 5, but they just shifted everything to boba
Lando doesn't even need the armor. Who needs armor to backstab their friend?

He probably would have liked some neck armor shortly afterwards though.
Just saying, when your friend's best friend is a wookiee, maybe look into some armor before the backstabbery commences.

lando had a pretty good reason for doing what he did, and it wound up being one of the reasons the rebellion wins
It's been a while since I watched ESB, but wasn't his reason pretty much "Vader got here first, and they don't even want you, you're just bait...sooo...we're cool, right?"?

They were mostly pacifists in the clone wars cartoon weren't they?
e:
I think Lando's thing was supposed to be, he was supposedly giving them hints when they first landed in the way he acted/spoke. He didn't really have any choice, since it was basically give Vader what he wanted or the empire destroys cloud city.

In the cartoon, the new Mandalorian royalty tries, very unsuccessfully, to rid itself of its warrior culture past. Basically the Dutchess is a terrible leader with good intentions. She's shown to have no political sense beyond blind idealism and a fundamental inability to compromise.
It gets her killed, and Mandalore goes back to business as usual.

That's more or less what happens in the 'What if?'-themed Infinities mini-series for ESB.
In this timeline, Luke dies on Hoth but gives a message to Han beforehand making him think he has the potential to be a Jedi. So the Falcon only stays long enough to get fixed so it can go to Daghobah. And when Boba shows up, he doesn't mention whom he's currently working for besides Jabba, so...

he dies, but only once, and that is the end of his story
Thrawn was stabbed in the chest by a Noghri.
Bevel was still killed and brought back to life.

Suckers and chumps.
Cool guys can betray their friends with a smile and a sweet mustache, then get forgiven, because how can you stay mad at a guy as cool as Lando?
Why I fear the ocean.
