Who Is Deadliest?

...Boba cried? When?

When his daddy died. Episode 2 Boba was just a stupid idea.

...Boba cried? When?

IMO, this isn't a Cloney/ PT vs OT battle. I love all three, and I think they're all great. Like I said earlier, it comes down down to the directing and acting. Boba said next to nothing in the originaly movies, but what he did say and do was instantly memorable. If you look at all his little nuances in the movies, he is incredible. He gave off an air of secrecy and an interest. No one knew who he was or who his past was. PT doesn't really disturb that- he's still a cool figure. Bane? Bane is set up as someone with a huge fedora that single-handedly comes in and takes over something. That is just too cliche for me. Also, let's look at the reputation. Bane was the deadliest hunte rin his time... but not untill Jango- the 'father' of Boba- was killed. He had to wait for his reputation. Boba, on the other hand, took it- no waiting invovled. He rose to the occasion.

But how did he rise to the occasion, Will Bane be killed off or will he retire.

My son helped me on this one, he went Boba all the way - all kids do !

Though my favorite from CW is Bane, I agreed with him Boba Fett is the deadiest warrior....hey, that's a great name for a TV show eh ?

Keep on bounty hunting !

If you picked up your dads decapitated head at that age you might cry too, especially if he's the only person you associate with.

We're not comparing adult Cad to child Boba.

Possibly, but then I'm not being held up as a model of badassery, am I George Lucas messed up that characterization, Boba should have had a cold, pathological look in his eye. Putting him in episode 2 was almost as dumb as having Yoda meet Chewbacca in episode 3.

He didn't cry, he headbutted the helmet

In some ways he was good, in others he wasn't it did explain where he learned the trick Han pulled from.

The head wasn't actually in the helmet at the time; if you watch the movie in slow-mo, you can see that the helmet flies away but there are two shadows of round objects flying, and there isn't a cauterized stump when Boba picks up he helmet. But yes, he has a right to cry. C'mon, he was 10!

Oh really? Never knew that. How come Boba picked up the helmet and not his father's decapitated head? Just wonderin'...

About the discrepancy, that shot might be 30 minutes to 1 hour after the battle and almost everyone has left the arena (?), so he had enough time to come down (and be a crybaby ).

The rating was taken into consideration, I guess. SW had a long tradition of PG ratings before RotS. And even with the advanced effects they had access to, having him pick up the helmet's a lot easier that modelling an actors head in CGI and having the other actor pick up a lump of blue. Or it could be a reference to what Boba himself would become, with the helmet being considered his face.

Very cool idea. I voted Boba Fett all the way.

[Destroydacre]

I had a feeling when I first saw this that it wouldn't even be close. Let's be realistic, Cad Bane doesn't hold a candle to Boba Fett. IMO Fett should kill Bane somewhere around the time the CW cartoons wrap up.

Same here, I knew Bane doesn't have a chance against Boba - in the voting - considering the huge legion of Boba/OT fans around. But saying Bane can't handle Boba? Realistically? What basis do you have saying that? Or is it just your bias towards Boba? Even if I've vehemently defended Bane on this topic, I never declared Bane would beat Boba since there is no factual basis which could prove that. And here comes Boba fans saying Boba can defeat Bane anytime of the day. Yeah right, baseless predictions the way I see it. What we could only compare is their accomplishments as a bounty hunter. And I won't even have a problem if ever the CW team decides to let young Boba kill Bane in the series. But as long as there is no strong evidence that Boba is greater than Bane, I stand by my point.

I realized this as I was posting this thread, but it is what I wanted to do for my first episode of deadliest warrior: Star Wars edition, maybe next time I'll choose something a little more tied up.

On the grounds that Bane is not mentioned once by anyone, even in the EU, once Episode III rolls around. Cad is going to die before CW ends, likely in a way that kills any legacy he had to keep the EU intact. I wouldn't be surprised if Boba is the one that does him in, giving Boba's history when interacting with other bounty hunters.

I think most of the hatred of Cad is the fact that he is a direct knockoff of Clint Eastwood in the Dollars trilogy. The topic should be "Who is deadlier: Cad Bane or Blondie?"

Hmm. Could have to do with him not being written yet? After all, Darth Vader never recognized R2 and 3PO in the OT trilogy. Did he have amnesia, or was it just retconning?

So no, I don't expect Bane to be mentioned in a movie made five years before his character was designed.

It has everything to do with him not being written yet. It still doesn't change the fact though.

As for Vader, 30 years had passed and lots of droids look alike. There's always the joke though that he didn't let Boba shoot Chewbacca because he might have hit C3P0. There is a lot of retconning in SW obviously, but most of it can be ignored.

There is no such thing as a fact in the Star Wars universe. Saying a character is not good or interesting or tough (or whatever) because they weren't mentioned in movies made before they were created is quite mind bending to me.

While we're at it, Harry Potter wasn't mentioned in Lord of the Rings. Let's count that as a strike against his character too.

Consider my mind bent from surfing this thread.

[Eskallon]

I think Boba is way more deadly.

He had a true hatred for the jedi order. They murdered his father, his father may have been evil but the jedi order left Boba all alone. He was left to make his own way off Geonosis and make his own life. This was true hatred, Boba was stronger because of the hatred inside of him.

Bane was an enemy to the jedi because of what? He had nothing to gain from killing jedi and others apart from bounty which is different to getting revenge and having true hatred. Bane would only risk his life to destroy/kill someone up to a certain point whereas Boba wanted to do it to a further point.

Boba is simpler terms was more dedicated to his job because of his ruined childhood.

There is a retcon comic that shows Vader recognizing 3PO during the Cloud City scenes, and deciding not to pulverize him, which is why Chewie has access to 3PO in prison.

Not a crybaby, as I've said before, he merely headbutted the helmet

Personally, I think Bane and Boba are such different charecters that any toss up would fail miserebly. The rela questino should be who is deadlier- Jango or Boba?

[master windu 7495]

fett has got better equipment, but bane has umpteen tricks up his sleeve and wins against boba when it comes to getting a mission done. bane seems to know everything about stealth, and has many other bounty hunters(and the emperor, let's not forget) at his arsenal. it would be interesting to see the results if these two met in the clone wars tv show.

Palpatine isn't in Bane's 'arsenal'- it's exactly the other way around. Bane gets into the Jedi Temple because of Palpatine, and that's basically the one notable thing he does.

Jango. Obviously, he didn't teach Boba everything he knew, since Boba was double crossed by Aurra and caught by Jedi. At that age, Jango was blowing up Death Watch tanks and freeing Mandalore. Okay, so Boba blew up a VSD. But he needed to be genetically disguised to get in. If not for the good fortune that Boba was a clone, he'd never have gotten that close to a Venator.

[Stegoceras]

In the equipment area, boba all the way. Perhaps Cad might win on the firepower but beyond that it's obvious that Boba's mando-armor beats any coat or dare I say silly hat.

In skill I'd also have to go for Boba; he is a clone of the greatest bounty hunter of the era, not too mention he was trained by him from a young age. Also he can literally fulfill any function on his own, while Cad relies more heavily on his lackeys to do stuff.

Reputation, both eventually are the greatest bounty hunters of their era's, so it's a tie, although barely since Cad only becomes the greatest after Jango's death.

On screen: Probably Cad, Though I'm not so fond of the CW series cause it seems a bit too simple and over-powered here and there, Cad still shows he can hold his ground. While Boba has one very big chink in his armor during his on-screen time called, Han Solo (whose is the ruling king of Bounty Hunter megablocks-kicking it seems)

Beyond the Series/movies: Boba all the way, Cad is a pretty new character and has yet to make much of an impression on the Expanded Universe while Boba really shines in comics and books(not considering the occasional run-in with Han).

So It's obviously Boba to me, Cad might be a rising star and perhaps he'll raise himself to some greater heights, but eventually he'll run into his personal "Han-nemesis" and he'll be down faster than you can say "bah!" (remember all bad guys in fiction eventually fall)

[gotoAndLego]

Its very simple, the only person to escape a Sarlacc is the best.

On a less serious comparison and since this is a Lego board, Fett's ship model is way better than Cad's.
