The Wedding of Bossk

Tom mentioned this a few weeks back.  I have a vague memory of having heard of this before, but I can't find it online.

Help me FOT-Biwan Kenobis.  You're my only hope.

Actually, it was just Dengar.  I should have known.

Boba Fett was best man at Dengar's wedding.  Of course.  Why couldn't we tell that from Dengar's 6 second appearance in the one movie?

I'm going to put it out there and possibly embarrass myself.  I have a paperback version of "Tales of the Bounty Hunters".  The story of IG-88 is bone chillingly awesome dumb.

This Star Wars wiki is awesome.  Who knew there were so many fake characters not to care about?  George Lucas could happily write wooden, quasi-racist dialogue for these dorky aliens forever and not touch most of them.

I don't know what it means that Dengar has more words devoted to him than Kid Jersey does, but I don't like it.

I actually really like the Star Wars wiki. I'm impressed people have taken something so dumb and gone to so much effort to work out the timelines and backstories and histories and so on. It's almost like the Star Wars movies themselves were just crappy Michael Bay movies about interesting stuff that really happened, like Pearl Harbor.

Ace did nothing.

Apropos of nothing, yesterday I saw a kid wearing a Boba Fett helmet run up to a neighbor's mom.  The mom said, without knowing there was a problem with it, "Hey! It's Jabba the Fett!"  Two thumbs up.  Anyone who knows that little about the Star Wars universe is alright by me.

Who on earth came up with that one?  I've seen that in a few places, how IG-88A made the other three IG-88s and then made one of them a bounty hunter to "distract attention" from his plans to take over the universe for droids.  And how he uploaded his consciousness into the second Death Star, so what was actually destroyed was NOT the Emperor's plan to control the universe, but the plan of the doppleganger for a robot seen in a 6-second scene in the previous movie.

I can do fanboy, but not for this junk.


My verdict on Star Wars is: I greatly enjoyed the first three movies when I was a kid.  I hated the last three.  All the fun was gone and the dumb parts were even dumber.

I saw the original in a movie theater when it came out and liked it so much I saw it again the next day.  I haven't really liked any of the rest of them, although the prequels are certainly the worst of the lot.
