Yeah, the Clone Wars sure ruined a bounty hunter who got smoked like a joke in his one minute of screentime in Star Wars.

 

The Clone Wars is a pretty great show, really. Sure there's some lame stuff, but the good really does outweigh the bad so far. I'd consider myself a OOT purist as far as Star Wars goes and I still really enjoy TCW. There have only been a few instances where something that's happened in them has made me angry.

ROTJ ruined Boba. I wonder if anyone noticed that the ROTJ Boba is basically a completely different... "character" from the ESB Boba. NOTHING in common WHATSOEVER.

I meant Greedo.

I wasn't aware Greedo had anyone who actually cared about him or had put enough of his character's personality from his minute of screentime in ANH together to warrant calling the portrayal of him in The Clone Wars as one that ruined him.

 

Though Boba certainly didn't make the smartest of moves by jetpacking over to get into melee range of a guy with a melee weapon on a skiff of otherwise unarmed and bound prisoners when, the way I've always thought of him from ESB, he'd be smart enough to hang back and put Luke down and then move in to capture the rest. But then, ROTJ is easily the worst of the original trilogy in some ways.
