The Mandalorian (TV series)

I never understood how Maul survived. Being cut in half, his stomach, kidneys and intestines were all gone.

It just makes no sense how he could still be around.
Stomach is above where he got cut...

Intestines - just tubing...easily replaceable

Kidneys - just filters...see above
 
Finally! I though I was the only one even considering Boba could be double-playing, been thinking that since friday, after all Boba worked with the empire right?
I think that people are making too much of the fact that he was a bounty hunter and worked for the Empire, that does not necessarily make him bad or evil or without a personal code of honor. Sure, he worked with the Empire, but he's a bounty and the Empire was the lawful government, so if they offer a bounty, why wouldn't he take it? It's not like the Rebellion was going to be offering bounties for, say, Grand Moff Tarkin; since they're operating underground, it's not like they could do things like that. Now that the New Republic is in charge, bounties and bounty hunters are still a thing, nothing's changed except maybe the New Republic itself doesn't issue bounties, but it certainly seems to be legal, if frowned upon.

I think a lot of the "he must have a scheme" stuff comes from all the EU things about him. he was a pitiless, unstoppable, qualmless, monster in a lot of cases. I don't remember any comic where he was the "good guy", only ever the "protagonist". But, I also don't remember him ever being on anything even remotely "protect the asset" based; so this is new.

He was not so much honorable, he was reliable. Subtle difference that was generally played up in my recollection.

Honestly, I think we're getting a more interesting version of Fett from this show. He's got the potential for some character growth, assuming he's not promptly fed into a wood chipper.

All this version really "needs" to fit with, are his couple cameos as an incredibly young hunter from the cartoons, and his couple of minutes on screen in the OT. So what if this one doesn't match up square with the comics. nothing else made since EP7 (really, even back to the Prequels) needs to be beholden to the books and comics.
 
I guess we can assume that Harvey Dent didn’t die in The Dark Knight, because he didn’t fall nearly as far as Maul or the Emperor, and no one even cut him in half! Can’t wait for the next sequel to Die Hard, where they reveal Hans Gruber, in fact, survived his fall off of the skyscraper, because a fall alone never killed anyone. Elsa Schneider is just hanging around at the bottom of a crevice waiting to be found, clutching desperately at the grail. Come on, everybody, let’s brainstorm what other characters we can make up excuses for as to why they’d still be alive!
 
Anyone catch what the troopers use for mortar?

"CUT HIM IN HALF"

Have you not seen bilateral above the knee amputees walking around on two mechanical legs(prostheses)? This is really not that big a deal medically.


I can't say I have seen a person cut in half at the waist and survive?????

Also I can't say that person would survive a fall down a super deep shaft.????

Like so much of the old EU, it depends on the Author. There were like 3 or 4 major styles for the depiction of Boba in Legends.
1. Pitiless, unstoppable, Pure Hunter. "I don't hunt "Bad Guys," I hunt Bounties." This is the most generic and broad depiction seen in most of the One Shot like comic issues.
2. The Follows his Own Code and Ethos style exemplified by Daniel Keys Moran who described his take on Boba as, "The difficult thing with Fett was finding a worldview for him that permitted him to proclaim a Code — given the stark Evil that permeated the Empire, Fett pretty much had to be either 1) Evil, or 2) an incredibly unforgiving, harsh, "greater good" sort of guy. The second approach worked." Scene mostly in the "Tales Of" story collections and even in "Twin Engines of Destruction," with Boba's adherence to the Bounty Hunter Code.
3. Post-Attack of the Clones there was a sort of blending of the two styles due to the new back story depicted there that humanized Boba and these new stories often played on the Father-Son dynamic. Notable in the "Boba Fett: Bloodlines" comic series where Boba kind of takes pity on the son of a Deserted Clone and bends the rules to help him by accepting a 1 credit bounty on the men pursuing him.
4. Karen Traviss's style where he is like a part time Stock Broker, fretting over his Retirement Fund, who ends up becoming a sort of reluctant Leader and Mandalore who plays a big part in Post-Vong Galactic Politics.
