Why Boba Fett Actually Is A Badass (No Expanded Universe)

BOBA FETT: Awesome or Overhyped? In this video, I lay out the reasons why Boba Fett actually is a badass, and I do it while only referencing the original Star Wars trilogy.

Balance is the superiority of the light over the dark, but what is light? What is good? Is good the moral high ground or the best decision out of 1 quadrillion options. There is no hell or heaven as Star Wars is based on Hindu/mostly Buddhism theology. Hinduism in that Kreia (Darth traya) is anti moksha. Good is subjective because the cosmic and living force want the light to win but the greater good requires the sacrifice of others. The ‘animals’ in Star Wars…are they really “animals” or just lesser iq beings with equal rights as others….obviously someone’s gotta eat. I say the Jedi are the good guys because balance is the oppression of the light over darkness but for this to work the light has to be vigorous and merciless against the dark, aggression and offensiveness is the duty of the light against the dark, not submissiveness to not carrying out justice on criminals and “the unarmed”, is a sith really “unarmed”…. See the Jedi don’t need to submit to anyone or any system, they choose to and by doing so they put rules on themselves that were never required of them, if they were the masters of emotions, attachments and relationships as an example then they would be close to the light, the light creates not destroys, so if they embraced the reality that they have power but it should be used to create then for instance you’d see Jedi force magic/ spells that could easily repair destroyed world or shattered hearts and families through a deeper love of the force not merely submitting to the idea of its unseen will being far away but rather its will is that those who already have the force use it to one create because that is the basic nature of the force.
Yes I am subtly suggesting the Jedi should affectively have their own empire to rule together with sector and planetary leaders. The Jedi should never be subordinates by default, that’s not why they have the force. They have the force to use it and do meaningful things with it. Like in legends planets or sectors should have their own Jedi to help the places grow and stay safe.
Given the Council's horrible treatment of Ahsoka, well, good in theory but bad because of their extreme arrogance.
But the major problem of the jedi is that they separated themselves from the sith while jedi and sith follows the same force. You shouldn't overcome your emotions, you should keep the balance between reason and emotion.
You missed the point entirely. Star Wars universe is similar to our own, but there's a crucial difference - THE FORCE, which is the primordial, supreme power and the source of all creation. Jedi following the force consider themselves as followers and executors of its will and what it wants is supposedly for the benefit of all the universe. In Lucas' world religious orders are justified.
The Jedi weren’t ok with or sign off on the creation of the clone army also they didn’t jump at the chance to become generals in the army their hands were forced by the senate or be branded traitors to the republic their incompetence as generals doesn’t make them evil it makes them bad generals
They were good in the same sense that britain ussr etc were good in WW2. We all know how awful they are when they aren't fighting a genocidal maniac. Or even when they are...
My one point of contention is that Palpatine probably never intended for Padme and Anakin to get that close. It was more likely something he chose to exploit, and would have had something else lined up in any event. The guy put himself in a position to effectively groom Anakin since he was 10, so he probably had all kinds of control levers and buttons to push regardless of that one thing.
Yes... because The Maker says they are... The Sith are not misunderstood... the Sith are the bad guys... George explained it simply... Light Side = Good Guys Dark Side = Bad Guys Just because they are the good guys doesn't mean they are perfect and make no mistakes. But they were still written as the Good Guys in Star Wars 💙
My one thing about Boba Fett in RotJ to mention: He was just about to blow a hole in Luke's torso. If Han hadn't lucked into a good hit right then, the movie would have probably ended there.

Lovely video
Star Wars has been ripped out of my ageing arms and handed over to fresh idiots that can’t immerse themselves in the fantasy it was meant to be. I’m an anti-royalist, but in the Senate I don’t have a fucking problem with Leia being a princess. I’m a pacifist, but on the plains of Hoth I want carnage. So now Star Wars is briskly being transformed from the timeless fairy tale it started as; the old school serials pastiche it once was, to a super-serious one-to-one reflection of our modern world. With a giant dose of post-modernism slabbed into the cracks this violation renders on what once had integrity. That’s apparently what the NEW audience wants. And the idiots in charge are of the same ilk. And no. Of course. No one is interested in anything new. They have to take something old and convert it. Change it. Destroy it. Leave it as it was. Continue it as it is meant to be. Or do something else. Go somewhere else. But I have no say in this anymore. New Lucasfilm and current fans couldn’t give a damn. 🖕
Yes, they ARE the good guys. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise doesn't know, care or understand Star Wars.
Counter point, they're taught this code because an untrained person at any age with force powers is friggin dangerous. Even just knowing telekinesis they can be a massive threat. Also as Ahsoka proves, when they're old enough they can just fuck off and leave.
Yes, the Jedi are the good guys, you know, those guys fighting against the literal satan of their universe. The sith and disney are the bad guys.
Yes, they were very flawed but they were still the good guys. I have no idea where this narrative they're not came from, stop trying to put grey element to something that wasn't designed to have one.
they also kidnapped force sensitive children to increase their military power, in the other hand becoming a sith apprentice is a choice.
I don't know much about star wars but I do know they don't kidnap them. They tend to have the parents permission.
Yes, by walking up to the parents, explaining why their kids might actually harm someone, because they can literally throwing trucks when they get upset, and then when the training is done, let them go and do whatever they want.
Anakin was like 10 and he was apperantly "too old" for the jedi...
@@denifnaf5874 10 years is enough time to form strong attachments to people. So training someone like that can and did ultimately backfire on them.
The good ol..."My religion is moral and better than yours" argument. Down with the Jedi😂

Just discovered this channel right now and thought it was made like last week. Only to find out it came out years ago. Even if you never want to make another video; know that you made quality videos with the best of them. Take care and hope this inspires others to talk about their passions
Well thanks man! I think recent controversy around the Acolyte has caused the algorithm to stir my videos up from the depths, because I've been getting a sudden influx of new interactions and subscribers haha. Yours has been by far the most positive :D Life and other projects have kept my attention elsewhere, but I'll never rule out making more videos. Thanks again for your positivity and kind words!
In response to the bounty hunter's arm; in fairness, the woman was armed, had used weaponry before and was ready willing to attack at the time. Not very far fetched for obi wan to kill her, let alone maim her.
Clone wars shouldn’t count, every character was mischaracterized so the order was as well. Also, the Jedi were effectively slaves as well
A good example, mace windu being a hypocrite because he said “we’re peacekeepers not soldiers” and then serving as a general. Why is it hypocritical?
And in the old canon the jedi commited crimes like the sith genocide or the padawans massacre
The clones having biochips is still stupid, was way better before. Even clones who loved their Jedi still went through with the order (except in a few fringe cases) and the sadness some felt was interesting. They were bred for loyalty, and weee a great social commentary from George ruined by filoni
Yes. They were. Saying otherwise means you are wrong. Simple as.
So we all understand that the clones were slaves and the Jedi were fine with that right? Just like they were fine with Anakin's mum staying a slave
There's a difference between him being a threat, and actually having him be a badass. The stormtroopers are treated as "a threat", that doesnt make them any less cannon fodder.
one minute in already self indulging in a fallacious argument.. lol pass
Boba Fett: The Man, The Myth, The Human Pinata. A blind man with a stick, my only weakness.
What police force are you talking about the USA?
Oya!
the man, the myth, the mandalorian, the mythosaur
2:44 yes but thats just any soldier desertion is a crime punishable by prison or death in some cases in our world, so i doubt its a jedi policy. probably more of a rebublic policy also the jedi don't own the clones, thats the republic
I noticed that you have a Warhammer 40k boxset Also if I may ask, which Chaos God would the Jedi be most susceptible to falling to and why?
Modern secular morality is not the end all be all. Total lack of imagination. Mentally enslaved.
How so?
@@ChaseDaOrk3767 Nitpicking something like Star Wars to death because there's backwater planets with slavery and the Jedi aren't doing anything about it is just stupid.
The Jedi are Evil 😈
Then what does make the Sith?
The jedi were good guys that made alot of mistakes.
The jedi saved lives and liberated enslaved planets so yeah they were good guys. TCW attempts to spread the narrative that the jedi are "corrupt" without actually elaborating on anything. The prequel trilogy itself was never meant to spread that narrative as even George Lucas himself has said that the rise of the Empire was entirely Anakin's fault for making bad choices.
Well WHY ELSE would the Force have allowed the Jedi to ultimately lose the Clone Wars, hm? Between the two the Sith were the only ones who actually kept to their code
@@jeremyallen5974 What are you blabbering about? The force didnt allow anything, it was Anakin's treachery and Palpatine's plan that allowed the Empire to rise
@@dancingvalkyrie He only turned traitor because the Jedi REFUSED to give him anything beyond derision and vague fortune cookie bullshit
@@jeremyallen5974 He turned evil because Palpatine told him he could save Padme. Anakins reasons were always simple minded and shallow
@@dancingvalkyrie He wouldn't have turned if the Jedi Order had actually given him the benefit of the doubt instead of treating him like shit from the moment he stepped into their temple
8:38 ❎️ simply to get his way ✅️ to save a life
From my point of view the Jedi are evil
I like your take on star wars but god I cringed everytime you tried to show the absurdity and the hypocrisy of the morals of this fictional word with what you thought were hyperbolic examples of the real world. Like cops not following "procedure" being something absurd in your example or "an ambassador of the US", the most evil and ruthless regime in the last centuries, doing something silly as threading with a handgun as an unethical thing in the same timeline the US being the only country that used nukes against its enemy. Clearly you are a good guy, and you are enthusiastic about the topics you like, but it may be a good call to do yourself the same questions you proposed for this fictional political body (the Jedi) to the actual, real life affecting political body that is the government of your country. The empire exists in real life, and it's not precisely branding a death star in the space, my friend.
I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying when I compared the actions of fictional peacekeepers to actual law enforcement. My intent wasn't to say "imagine if law enforcement ACTUALLY behaved like this", but rather to say "remember how you felt when you heard about law enforcement did [insert one of far too many horrible things]? That feeling shouldn't go away just because you think the Jedi are cool". The intent was to anchor the fictional bad practices of the Jedi to the actual bad practices of government to point out that having a lightsaber and a philosophical outlook doesn't makeup for an abusive use of power. Granted, it's been a while since I've watched back through this video, so that point may not have come across as clearly as I intended. However, at no point in making this video was I thinking "golly if only the Jedi behaved like the real life government."
I agree with a lot of this video except for the points at the end comparing the Jedi to the likes of Walt and Frank Castle. Those two men did/do what they did/do because at their core they are narcissists looking for excuses to feel good. At least the Jedi want to do good.
Where is the line drawn between doing things for the sake of good and doing things to feel good? Is there a concrete point at which it turns over, or is it largely down to the manner in which these characters are presented to the audience? I agree that the Jedi began as an organization that was intended to do good, in the same way that Frank Castle and Walter White both set out to do good things (stop criminals and support his family, respectively). And just like with Frank and Walter, somewhere along the line the Jedi lost sight of the point. It's an old cliche, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Dummy, The Jedi didn't create the Clone Army Palpatine did. The Jedi didn't wanna use the Clone army Palpatine made them war time Generals. The Jedi didn't want war Palpatine did. What are you talking about? You make it seem like the Jedi are war hungry when they are not. If anyone would promote slavery it's the Mandlorians. They nearly took over the Galaxy and killed Millions forcing The Jedi Revan to strike back against them. You bias opinion is making you subjective about the Jedi and not Objective about they're true purpose.
Dang! No wonder Dooku turned to Sidious when leaving the Jedi. You may as well show the clips of Dooku turning to the dark as well. Also 19:25 No! Not necessarily! Haven’t you heard of Benjamin Franklin before??? Benjamin Franklin “Democracy is like having2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner!!!”
Exactly. That's why people like Kissinger said in the 70s _"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves"_ before sending the CIA to orchestrate the coup against Allende that lead to his murder and 17 years of murderous dictatorship... Wait... is the US government and its allies actually the villains of our timeline?
I mean democracy is not inherently good and authoritarianism isn’t inherently bad. They can both be used for purposes that are objectively bad, but that doesn’t make them explicitly bad on their own
How is authoritarianism "isn't inherently evil"?
@@ChaseDaOrk3767 because the leader doesn’t have to be evil? The leader could be extreme benevolent and want the best for all their people.
I would argue that yes they were. They taught and were taught all the right moral lessons and they genuinely were trying to help the galaxy. That said good people can do great evil when mislead. I also do think that while their lessons were correct, their dogmatic approach to teaching those lessons were harmful. It is ok to love and it is ok to have attachments so long as those attachments don’t turn to possession, and so long as you are able to let go of those attachments and accept loss without turning to hatred.
Right moral lessons? You do realize that blind loyalty never did any good for anybody, right?
@@jeremyallen5974What fucking blind loyalty? And do you get that in Star Wars falling to the Dark Side is a real fucking issue?!
6:14 you do realize she was about to shoot obi wan so if he hadnt done anything obi wan would have died and she would have gotten away.
There are a multitude of ways to disarm someone that don't involve dismemberment, especially for someone with extra-sensory perception, enhanced reflexes, and telekinesis.
Where are the younglings parents? Aren't they child soldiers?
