I can't really point to anything particularly bad about it. So, what I will do is give you a full out lecture on exactly why it is such an awful thing for him to say. So, make yourself comfortable, sharpen your pencil, and turn over a fresh page in your note book. Here we go,

 

I guess to see its biggest problem, we need to go back to the source. We meet this fellow Boba Fett, yeah some people think he is over rated, but most of us think he is freakin awesome. Why, what does he do? What makes him so great? Just a dumb guy in armor! Well, the cool thing about him is he pops up on the screen and totally ruins the lives of our heroes in an amazingly short amount of time. The movie was going along just fine, Luke is learning to be a Jedi with Yoda, Han and Leia and making a desperate flee from the Empire, and Han's genius seems to be getting them out of trouble just fine. They'll simply float away with all the rest of the garbage, meet Han's friend, get the ship fixed, and meet back up with the rest of the Rebels before the movie ends.

But no. Boba freakin' Fett shows up, and it all goes down the crapper! Fett informs the Imperials of the Falcon's destination and they beat them there. Now Han and Leia are screwed! Luke quits his Jedi training to go unscrew them, leaving a peeved Yoda behind; Threepio is blown to pieces; Luke looses his freakin hand! Han is frozen and heading for Jabba the Hutt. The credits roll. The movie ends and we are left dumbfounded, begging our parents "When does the next movie come out? When does the next movie come out? Don't tell us we have to wait a whole month? More than a month? Could be a few years! What?! You're just messing with me! It comes out next week, right? Right? Right...? What? No! No! Noooooooooo! This is stupid! What happened to Han?!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (we are talking about inner turmoil here so great that it echos on for miles) To some of us, this was the most disappointment we had ever experienced in our young lives, to others of us, it was just one more disappointment amongst many. Either way, it really sucked. Why did this happen? Who did this awful thing to us? Well, honestly, if we look back we can peg the blame on one person: Boba Fett. Vader proved unable to capture them on his own, so it isn't his fault. Billy D. couldn't have betrayed Han had the Empire not gotten there first. No, it is all because of Fett.

You see, Boba Fett shows up and causes all this chaos, not only in the lives of the fictional characters in the movie, but also in our own childhood SW lovin' lives. What is more? He does it all while uttering only four lines of dialog! 27 words total to be exact!

So yeah, don't give me some dork with an annoying accent saying long meaningless lines like, "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe" (13 freakin' words of nothing in that one sentence alone!) while proving himself to be a pretty worthless fighter and wreaking absolutely no havoc all the while and you tell me this is suppose to be Boba Fett's father? The man who taught him and was responsible for his becoming a bounty hunter...  sigh.

 

 

Or, if you rather, skip the lecture and I can put it quite simply: what kind of a tough, hardened warrior runs around clean shaven saying thing like, "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe"?
