So Mr. Fett survived the Sarlacc, officially.

[Forgottenlore 9,838]

Agreed. Jawas don't strike me as particularly space faring either.

Not on their own, but I can totally see them.... Infesting might be the right word, large cargo ships and freighters and spreading to the underbellies if the galaxy.

Also worth noting, the Thrawn trilogy indicates that jawas on coruscant are not a noteworthy sight.

Considering the only time we ever see them in the movies or any literature so far is in regards to Jawas it's hard not to associate them with each other. 

 

Sure infesting is a good word and how I see them traveling if they do. 

 

Thrawn Trilogy never happened so not particularly concerned with what it said.

Well, maybe...

 

This has been kind of over-looked with all the craziness that went on last weekend. But that is clearly Boba Fett in the SW:BF trailer and he looks to be on Jakku, a battle after the Battle of Endor. The crashing Star Destroyer kind of gives it away, its likely the one we see in the AFW trailer.

 

So according to Disney, the popular bounty hunter looks to have lived.

Sandcrawler.

I don't think Jakku has Sandcrawlers, and I SEVERELY doubt they'd put DLC shots in the launch trailer.

 

 

Like I said earlier in this thread:

 

Sandcrawler does not = Tatooine. They were manufactured to be mining vehicles. The Jawas just converted them into their mobile homes. Any desert planet could have a Sandcrawler on it.

 

 

 

So if this is Tatooine in the Battlefront Trailer, someone needs to explain to me the crashing Imperial Star Destroyer in the upper right of the shot. Looks really, really close to this:

 

 

 

 

And again no one is saying you are wrong. However there is not enough evidence either way. It could very well be just some footage they made that looks cool that has zero relevance for the actual games storyline.

This is Jakku. Its been confirmed by JJ himself.

By the same reasoning I could say it's Raxus Prime, no?

It's got a Sandcrawler and a moisture vaporator in the shot too, all Tatooine style, not to mention Boba. And I don't think DICE is so unskilled in PR that they'd put a planet not available at release in their shot. It's fairly canyoned and mountainous, which is consistent with what we've seen of Tatooine. Jakku so far seems much more flat.

Finally, the four release planets are Tatooine, Endor, Hoth and Sullust, so it'd make sense for the four planets depicted in the trailer to be the four planets in the game, no?

[Jo Jo 4,808]

Not familiar with Raxus Prime. 

 

Could be just the dice team being lazy/cost conscience and throwing in Tatooine looking stuff on Jakku, because you know desert environment and all.

 

It just doesn't make sense to me that they have a huge set piece of a freaking Star Destroyer crashing into the planet, twice. Because we know a SD crashed landed into Jakku. Why do another on Tatooine?

Game engine can do a whole lot of scripting w/o having to worry about any physics going on.

 

I have high hopes for BF, but the trend of unfinished games we have been having recently makes me worried.

 

 

So how did Boba escape? Jawas

That is profoundly awesome.

[Conandoodle 1,817]

I don't understand what the hype about Boba Fett is.

What did we see in the OT?

1. Darth Vader pulls him aside and says "No disintergrations" AFTER saying "I want them alive". I used to work in management and when you have to specifically spell out conditions after making a black and white point .. it means you're dealing with incompetents.

2. Can he fight well? Don't know. He follows Han to Bespin .. and then tells Darth. Who does all the hard work? Does Boba Fett capture Han? Nope .. Darth does. What exactly does Boba do? The same thing Bobby Farret did in elementary when he saw Peter Duncan pull Amy Brown's hair .. he told the teacher. Bad ass.

3. Oh, but we see him fight in Jedi. That went well. He misses Luke at point blank range, shoots a rope (when apparently armed with an arsenal of cool stuff - oh but he wanted Luke alive .. after trying to shoot him with a blaster???) and flies into the side of a barge after being hit by a blind guy within arms reach? He couldn't defeat a blind guy at arm's reach .. the blind guy didn't even know he was there .. and Boba still lost.

4. Oh, but he somehow got out of the sarlacc and did awesome stuff. EU sirs. Darth Maul survived being cut in half and a huge fall, the emperor had a three eyed son and a suncrusher space ship can destroy a solar system and withstand a death star blast ... c'mon.

They can make all the Boba toys and games they want .. he's still as useless as the white crayon.

Vader respects Fett.  We see this in their discussions - Fett is able to talk to Vader with a brusqueness that would earn almost anyone else a quick trip to the deck plating.

So apparently people think that wreck that's circled is the downed X-wing...

 

Of course the landscape doesn't match up at all really. But 29 years have gone by. Who knows...

 

I'm starting to lean that this is likely Tatooine in the trailer. The SD may be there just to "look cool".

Actually we don't know that. All we know is he didn't kill him for what he said. May be that Vader didn't think him worth the effort. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to upset Jaba. Maybe it's because Fett is doing something Vader wants done.

Fact is that without the EU Fett would be little more than a extra in a cool costume. The EU which made him a bigger Mary Sue then even Starkiller from TFU is. Which is the most impressive thing about Fett.

Those two Star Destroyers crashed at different angles.

The image stating what is and isn't canon is very bare and doesn't reflect any of the information stated about canon by SW writers.  Its also old I believe.  All that being said it cant be canon if it adds nothing too the story.  If it has no database in game, out in a guide of some kind, it adds zero too the saga because we already have it confirmed as not having a story mode.  All it could add is that people fought on a planet.  That's like a no brainier, we didn't need this game too confirm that.

 

 

I think someone said that a EA or DICE rep said that all the heros are universal.  You can pick which hero you want to be when you get the chance to be a hero.  Fett being on this planet doesn't mean much in that regard unless you will be counting him as canonically being on Sullust, HOTH and Endor.  Same for Vader.

Darth Vader?  Not wanting to upset Jabba the Hutt, a crime lord on the planet farthest from the bright center of the universe?

We are talking about the same Dark Lord of the Sith, right?

As for the relationship between Vader and Fett, I present these two quotes:

Vader: "You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker."

Fett: "He's no good to me dead."

Vader: "He will not be permanently damaged."

and later:

Fett: "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."

Vader: "The Empire will compensate you, if he dies. Put him in."

I'm sorry, but those reactions don't fit with how Vader would typically react to someone telling him "hey, be careful, and don't go overboard with your Sithy behavior - I need this guy alive."

[SniperSnake28 130]

In one comic, Boba and Vader fight each other to a near standstill, so I think they have a lot of respect from that. In fact, that's how Vader learned about Boba's fighting skills.

[TIE Pilot 3,501]

Looked up Aftermath with interest, and it has "Journey To Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on the top as a big banner.

And so does everything Post Endor coming out before the film.

 

Dear god, really? They couldn't think of a better multimedia title than that?

I can't believe that Darth Vader, the most powerful jedi in the galaxy found Boba to be a challenging adversary. Yeah, we see Obi-Wan take on Boba's papa and that was a tight one .. but the writers of that scene seemed to forget about the force (except when Obi is clumsily reaching for his sabre). Another element is ethics. Darth would have no issue choking, throwing and crushing his enemies using the Force. We even see him do it via coms in Empire.

Nope, I can't believe Darth and Boba are equally matched.

Exactly, Vader would of beaten Boba as quickly as Mace did Jango.
