Over used him to the point where he was no longer mysterious, IMO. That and his over obsession with Solo.Simon H.Johansen wrote:What did he become in the EU?Knife wrote:Some did it well and others did it like shit. Who and What is up too you the reader.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yep. That pseudo-Athenian helmet is probably part of his appeal - because, you know what?? It covers his face entirely - meaning that in the OT, we never saw Boba Fett's face. I also think that a lot of Darth Vader's appeal also comes from the mask he wears.The Yosemite Bear wrote:It's the fucking Helmet.

Same for the inherent "coolness value" of the Stormtroopers. Why the Tusken Raiders don't have a cult following is beyond me.

~JasonI have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
