ā¦The kind of bounty hunter my heart needs!
More like Boba Fitt, Amirite?
she can Surreptitiously fall in my Sarlacc pit anyday.
On a related note, a local group by the name of Geekenders is doing the whole original trilogy, one at a time, re-imagined as fully scripted comedy/burlesque plays at the Rio theatre here in Vancouver. The first one sold out the place every night. The Empire Strips back is on this weekend.
How do we know the original Fett was male? Iām not much of a trekkie, but I donāt remember anything specific in the movie.
He had a very male voice the few times we heard him, and he was talked about with āheā, āhisā as the pronouns people referred to him with.
Plus we see him as a child in the prequels, heās basically a Clone Trooper minus the accelerated aging, given to Bobaās āfatherā/DNA-source Jango Fett as part of his payment for letting his DNA be used to make the republicās cloned army.
Boba Fette
Ooo boy. I donāt know where to start.
Teddy bear, you just got nerd-sniped.
Hands off, sheās mine!
I saw a similarly attired cosplayer near Disneyland earlier this year, except that her frilly dress was red and gold and her helmet modeled after Tony Starkās. Embarrassingly, it was much later in the day when I finally put together Iron Maiden.
Not just gender-swapped, but role swapped as well. Except for the helmet nothing suggests that this is a bounty hunter.
He hasnāt being genderswapped, he has being turn into a "Disney Princess"Ā®.
A real genderswapped Fett would be no different than the regular Fett, just slightly wider hips, nothing more.
Love her helmetļ¼want to get one!
Exactly.
Mandalorian women wear the same armor as Mandalorian men, work the same jobs, and fulfill the same roles. This is their culturally accepted and expected behavior. Calling a female Mandalorian ādelicateā is considered an insult, for crying out loud.
Consequently, not only is putting one in a dress imposing our own cultureās senseless gender stereotypes on another people, but it would also probably end in violence.
Boobs too.
Good point. I donāt remember Fett ever talking at all, but I havenāt really studied the canon the way I should have.
Also, Iām kind of enjoying the rage up above. How dare a woman wear feminine gender markers? Next letās have a fight about whether female dwarves have beards!
Not really seeing the ārageā, but, there was loads of rage on BoingBoing over this:
My apologies; I canāt find the overly-pink image that made so many people mad. EDIT: Here we go.
On Clone Wars, at least some of the womenās armor is slightly different from the menās.
Bo-Katan, ass-kicking Mandalorian voiced by Katee Sackhoff. I have to confess that I didnāt recognize her voice until I heard it through the helmet, and then immediately thought, āHey, holy shit, thatās Starbuck!ā
āSheās the kind of bounty hunter our galaxy needs!ā
The kind that canāt be killed by a blind man with a stick?
