Hey, don't get me wrong, I love the new Boba Fett. But I want to read my old comfort fics and bask in The Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi feels, and I can't find anything pre The Book of Boba Fett. And that makes me a little sad.

Yes! I would of absolutely loved to see more bounty hunters, especially classic ones. And I'm not a fan of Boba literally never having his buy'ce on unless they're in a fight.

While episode 4 of Boba Fett might be the best episode so far…I think the series could have started out much better. I’d have had Boba Fett become king of the bounty hunters. I’d have had him summon all the known hunters and use them to take out all the opposing forces of Tatooine… like a chess match. None of this talking to everyone and letting them make their our stupid decisions. And I’d also have it that Boba Fett doesn’t show his face to everybody. He never did it in the old movies…why do it now?

Okaaaaaay! Wild theory time that many will say is totally incorrect!

This theory is partially inspired by this post by @twinterrors29

https://at.tumblr.com/twinterrors29/boba-fetts-reputation-as-the-best-bounty-hunter/cbubdg5i3k36

But it is also just a wild mind tangent that I came up with. Now on with the theory!

...

Boba Fett is a feared bounty hunter, he's been in the game since he was 10 years old, since his father the great Jango Fett died.. He's good at what he does. He's respected and revered. But here's the thing...

Anyone could be Boba Fett.

Throughout canon many have been Boba Fett. In old canon the name Boba Fett was just alias used by Jaster Mereel. It wasn't until "Attack of the Clones" was released that anyone had even heard of Jango. And during "The Clone Wars" TV show, during the arc at the end of season 2, we see that no one can differentiate between Boba and the other clones.

So where am I going with this?

This:

Is not Boba Fett.

Or...well...he might be.

Don't believe me? Neither do I. Here's some shaky proof:

Boba Fett was born in roughly 32 BBY and the show "The Mandalorian" takes place in roughly 9 ABY, which makes Boba Fett approximately 41 years old. During the events of "Attack of the Clones" Jango Fett is 44 years old having been born in 66 BBY (the beginning of the Clone Wars was in 22 BBY lasting till 19 BBY). During which time he looked like this:

(It's hard to find a good photo of him.)

Now YES, the actor has aged, Boba fell into a Sarlacc and is dealing with scaring, and he has spend the last 5 years on Tatooine (we all know how this goes for people...)

But this ⬆️ is the work of 20 years.

Case in point, I have a hard time believing that Boba and Jango are roughly the same age, I mean look:

One obviously hasn't aged as delicately as the other.

There's not really much that can explain this, we fans just look over it because we love Temuera Morrison so much (I love him too).

But who do we know who have accelerated aging that would explain this difference? The other clones, of course.

The clones (with the exception of Boba) were genetically modified so that they would age at twice the normal human rate, at 10 they were physically and mentally 20, and battle ready.

But they aged at twice the normal human rate, why would a 40 year old look 60 instead of 80?

Well there's a simple answer. Deceleration.

In the Republic Commando books, Skirata finds a way to slow the clones aging down to a normal human rate. Unfortunately nothing in canon has shown that this is possible, but as many have pointed out, Rex was looking really spry in "Rebels."

So it is possible that some 10 years after the war, a cure was found.

During the year 19 BBY the clones were roughly 26-28 years old, ten years later in 9 BBY when the "Kenobi" series take place, clones without decelerate aging would appear nearly 50 years old, and lucky for us we see a 501st trooper in a cameo:

Now, he's obviously older and grizzly, but he still more closely resembles the younger Boba Fett than Jango who is closer to his age physically.

...

I'm not saying that anything I've said here is definitive proof that the Boba Fett from "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" is a Padmé decoy, far from it. But I am saying that there's enough here that there's a chance that it's true. Especially with the drastic personality change that we see from Boba in the original series, stern and serious, dangerous. A personality that even carries over into "The Clone Wars" and the Boba Fett young readers books, though technically Legends now. This new Boba is not the stoic and legendary bounty hunter we know, and that may be the point, but it won't stop me from theorizing.

After all this may be the real Boba Fett:

Or maybe this one:

Or this one!

Or maybe the real Boba is dead.

We may never know...

Which is the real Boba? Are they all the same Boba? How many Bobas are there?

What if the Boba Fett we've come to know and love, isn't even the real Boba Fett?

SNAIL!

Why do I keep hurting myself!!? I barely even gave myself enough time to recover after watch the last of Transformers Prime, and then I decide to go ahead and watch the last few episodes of The Clone Wars that I've been holding back on and...this scene.

Just this scene. 😥

I keep hurting myself.

So after having some time to collect myself and rewatching the movie a few times I've come to a few conclusions. The first being that I was absolutely correct in my analysis that Optimus would not be able to live without Optimus and I firmly stand by that thought. It was solidified as soon as I saw Optimus not even taking a moment to celebrate the rebuilt world of Cybertron, or celebrating the growth of his friend, he jumped right back in to the work, choosing missions that would consume his entirety, all of his time, and nothing else mattered except for the mission. The second being that Megatron is truly stronger than Optimus was in this regard, it was beautiful seeing the conqueror be conquered, to see Megatron remember why he took the name he did, to see him remember what it is to be oppressed and what he was fighting for. Megatron had lost sight of that and Unicron reminded him that he is only a gladiator. I think that it's interesting that he left before Optimus sacrificed himself to the Allspark, it's an interesting parallel, Optimus watched and could not let go, and Megatron did not watch but he let him rest in peace. I think that Megatron wanted to have that final image of Orion in his head, the approval and love and kinship, the acceptance. The final acceptance. But he couldn't watch him leave again. Not like the first time, he couldn't be left again. Megatronus knows how to live without him, but Megatron does not. And that's a very interesting and complicated balance. But at the end they are neither the revolutionaries they started as, they are not Megatronus and Orion Pax, but neither are they Optimus Prime and Megatron, they are something new, they've evolved and they've grown, and this is the third step of life for them. Where they've realized that they can't continue on without the other, and that they will never truly leave. The will always be there for each other, in some way.

Also I would like to thank you, @artificial-people-ai for all of your help. You are now my new favorite person on this app.

I just finished watching Transformers Prime (haven't watch the movie yet) and...when Bumblebee killed Megatron my heart just dropped, and I think that Optimus's did too. When it just panned over to him with his wide optics as he watched the light go out of Megatron's...I saw a glimpse of Orion there.

And with all honesty, I don't believe that he will be able to live without him. Megatron was his mission, in the beginning the war, before it was even a war, Megatronus was there, they fought together, they were brothers. Then the betrayal came and it became about saving his friend and his planet. Eventually Optimus started to just seek revenge, for his brother and for his home. But at the end, I think that Optimus still had hope that he could save him. He wanted to save Megatron. And that chance was taken away from him.

And for the past 4 million years! Optimus' every waking moment has been consumed by Megatron. How would he live once the mission was over? Who would he be? I don't think he's ready to find the answer to that, and I don't think he'll survive to find out. I don't think he can.

I'm glad I could be of service.

I...I just watched the movie and...I'm gonna need a few days...

Oh Megatronus...

This is my first time watching G1 and...and...

DID THIS BOO JUST TURN INTO A LASER GUN!?

Wtf is going on...

I'm crying...

Omg...that is so beautiful. I think I'm going to cry again. And honestly I can't see it ending any other way. They'll never be the brothers that they once were, but the knowledge that they will be known as the saviors of Cybertron as they set out, and that it's Megatron who survives to tell their tale is beautiful. I think that he's the stronger when it comes to loosing someone he loves, especially if his last memory of him is as Orion and not the Autobot leader.

Everyone: "What if Megatron and Optimus Prime were bitter exes! Haha haha hahaha"

Me *having read the books by Irvine": They...they are. They literally are.

They were leading a revolution with together, theywent on dates through the Pits and Iacon, and it got to the point that they couldn't differentiate whose ideas were whose anymore. And they only fell apart because Megatron is easily jealous...and not the one with the brains in this relationship, okay.

Does anyone have any good Transformers fanfic recs set in the Bayverse where Crosshairs and Drift are together and Drift lets out a little Deadlock?

Actually scratch that, it doesn't even have to be good recs.

You know, I keep seeing headcanons that Lady Autumn and Helion are mates, but I would prefer if they weren't. That they just fell in love.

Especially if Lucien and Elain don't end up together. It would be a way for Lucien to see that it's okay to not have your mate, that you can still be happy. It would be a wake up for Rhys and Feyre a bit too, I think.

Apparently Thrawn being your favorite character because you read all of his books before you even knew he was in "Rebels" is "beyond niche".

So, I'm rewatching The Clone Wars and.....it is much more depressing the second time around.

"You showed me something today. You're exactly the kind if men I need in the 501st." - Rex ("Rookies")

I still remember the first time that I watched TCW...my first thoughts were:

• Since when was Anakin a knight? (Keep in mind I had watched RoTS a hundred times.)

• Anakin has a padawan? This can't be right, whoever thought that this would be a good idea?

• Is Anakin still Obi-Wan's padawan or not? Because I feel like he is.

So, my conclusion is that Anakin is in fact still a padawan and Ahsoka is just along for the ride, and Obi-Wan needs a drink. But we all already knew that.

I've recently started getting really into DC but most of my knowledge comes from movies and TV shows. So I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out where to start with the Batman comics?
