OH MY GLOB, STOP TALKING FOR FIVE MINUTES AND LET ME CATCH UP!!!! 
And stainless steel is nice and hard and rust-resistant. My armor is made out of 16-gauge. One of the chest plates accidentally got backed over by a large car after initial forming. It didn't even notice. With padding inside (see the return edges on the original Boba plates) and a quilted flak vest, I can take some pretty substantial hits before I really feel anything.
That said, I still maintain Boba couldn't have been wearing that helmet when it got the dent. Any non-sucky metal is hard enough that an impact that caused a dent like that would've snapped his neck.
Guessing you missed a little thing a few years back called "Solo". It's been onscreen canon for a little bit, now.
It's an ongoing thing I wonder about. Me, I love seeing all the little things from video games, comics, the old West End RPG, etc., show up in live-action. I got the new comics as they were coming out. I got Darth Vader #1 in early 2015. I remember Black Krrsantan. So when I see things like that or the BD, I get a little thrill of recognition, and sometimes anticipation. What's it like for people who just see a new wookiee character, or some new model of droid?
I think she was one of the hardliners who stuck with Maul after he killed Pre Viszla, and adopted the Zabrak-style head horns, but not Rook. Rook had a few established traits (killing things, currying Maul's favor, being able to pull off a rescue), but metalworking didn't seem to be her forté. She'd be more like Paz in that covert.
See, I have a different picture of him from both the canon material and EU. Clone Wars established that he tried working with some of the bounty hunters his dad knew, because he wasn't full-grown yet, but they kept screwing him over, taking control, driving his plans off a cliff, blowing up his dad's ship, etc. I see him being more a loner after the Clone Wars ended, because he can't count on anyone else.
There's only one Millennium Falcon -- but lots of YT-1300s. I doubt that freighter ever had even an unofficial model name attached to it. Combat vehicles? Far more likely. Everything from tanks to aircraft have names in addition to model numbers. Frankly, I'm a little annoyed the X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, and B-Wing don't have anything more creative, like the Z-95 Headhunter, Delta-7 Æthersprite, Alpha-3 Nimbus (V-Wing), and V-19 Torrent all had. The Firespray and Razor Crest are in that family.Hmmmm… so are you telling me there’s more then 1 millennium falcon!?
I think it's sadder that they forgot that's what Boba Fett is. Mysterious Stranger. Man With No Name. Silent But Deadly. Wait...
Did they tell you what was used to mod it?
I have one. Also the old ERTL 1:48 snap kit. The Fine Molds one is the one that's harder to find than the Venus de Milo's arms.
Nope. I don't see Tem at all in ESB or ROTJ. Jango was much more kinetic. His whole vibe is off for Boba. If I visualize anything inside the helmet (it is his face, after all), it's this:
Piffle. Our '66 GT coupé that was our family car while I was growing up was our do-everything-mobile. Grocery store, cross-country trips, camping, roof rack for bicycles, etc. God, I wish twelve-year-old me knew you could keep a car after it had been totaled -- it just needed to be recertified after any repairs... It was supposed to be mine when I turned 16.
That's been a thing in the little corner of the GFFA where the personæ for the costumes I make hang out. My custom Mando has an old Charger-class frigate -- salvaged Clone Wars-era wreck. The ventral escape pods were replaced with shirtsleeve softdocks for a couple of Y-Wings and, later, a salvaged ARC-170 connected to the belly docking collar. The family mobile home, with the craft they ran their jobs in. This is a notion I can very much run with.neophyl said:On the ship front, depends where they go with the story. Yeah it needs a base to operate from. Oh like a certain captured imperial ship claimed by Bo Katan maybe
I hate indestructible super-metals like adamantium and beskar. Vibranium I like because it at least nulls out the kinetic energy of whatever hits it. Other things, though? I don't care if my Mando armor can take a turbolaser bolt to the chest -- the impact energy is going to translate through, pulp my organs, pulverize my bones, and cook the whole package, even if my flight suit and skin aren't broken. The outer layer should be ablative. Everyone sneers at Boba's "crappy durasteel" armor with all its dents, when it's supposed to deform and dissipate the incoming energy like that. One of the things I loved in the old Marvel comics was the depiction of the pressure suit under what we see in the movies. It's almost like a Star Wars version of a stillsuit, but made out of armorweave or the like, with anti-ballistic gel in the sensitive areas (squishy, but hardens on impact). That's the real Mandalorian armor. The flight suit is to keep it clean, and the flak vest and its plates, and additional ancillary pieces, are there as an outer, ablative first line of defense.
