I used to love Boba Fett. I’m not really that big a fan ofStar Wars(they’re slightly above average sci-fi fairy tales) but I did love the bounty hunter characters, and Boba Fett was every kid’s favorite. Then George Lucas got his shit-stained talons on the character and, like everything else he touches, he utterly ruined it. Now I don’t like Boba Fett anymore.
If you’re not like me, however, and youdon’tthink that Lucas’ blatant disregard for the established canon of his own franchise in favor of his arrogant assumption that he could do better is abadthing, then you might be excited to learn that the formerly enigmatic bounty hunter is coming toForce Unleashed 2. That was a huge sentence.
Fett won’t be playable, but has rather been hired by Darth Vader (another character Lucas shat all over) hunt down Juno, the love interest from the first game. It’s part of a fiendish trap to lure out the clone of original game hero Starkiller. Boba was thrown into the game following fan requests for recognizable characters.
So yeah, this is news that would have been fantastic ifAttack of the Cloneshad never existed. Now I’ll get off of the soapbox that nobody asked me to stand on.
