    These Fetts sure like their flashbacks.
    Same images, but different flashbacks.

    Both guys talk about the same events, therefore we get to see the same scenes. Boba isn't flashing back to Jango's flashback, he has a flashback about the same events.
    Since he got his view of the events from Jango it makes sense that they retell them the same way.

    Aunt Edith says: Oops, I mean same guy, repeated flashback. I still wouldn't call it a flashback in a flashback, ore a flashback to a flashback. Was Corey there the last time? Luke wasn't, but if the he already heard this letting his character walk away is understandable.

    And I have no idea how I confused Jango and Boba.

    It seems that they changed the colors for the different levels. The first flashback is in sepia, and the flashback in the flashback is in grayscale. Nice touch.

    New comic.

    More flashback. Could someone please tell him that Kenobi is dead and that he is wasting everyones time?

    Well, at least Jabba likes it.
    Remember: If players don't appreciate the complex, dramatic backstory, that ties directly into their characters's Actions, you gave a NPC introduce another NPC that does.

    The best part about Jabba's comment is this causal arrogance that makes his own birth the only appropriate comparison.

    I don't get why they haven't, yet.

    Early on they were like "it might make him angrier!" or whatever, but that ship sailed a looooong time ago.

    Yeah... what's the point? I mean, both ingame and meta... are they building up to a joke or...? Well, maybe next time they'll make the reveal?

    Eh, I've given up on my players paying attention to backstories. I simply brutally punish them if they miss crucial details, like, interrogate EVERY MINOR NPC except the one they should.

    Not sure if that's what he was going for. I think he merely means to say he couldn't have experienced anything that happened before his birth? Just a possibility, though.

    They're not bothering because the GM already knows and he's the one playing the character. So they're just ignoring him basically.

    Well it's not they necessarily don't care, it's that they ALREADY KNOW.

    Literally everybody but Corey already knows everything about Fett. There's no reveal here, just a lot of empty dialogue (for them).

    Yes, he monologued to them on Cloud City demanding to know where Kenobi was.

    I think it's partly just that this is Boba Fett, and so he needs to share the same epic backstory monologue quality of both Jango Fett and Darth Maul.

    And it is out. Finally. Thank you Han, for telling Boba that this is pointless, that Vader used him and that she killed his target already.
    Wait... didn't Han have amnesia? Did he forget he was pretending memory loss/ dropped the act, because Boba's rambling was so annoying or did Jim forget that his character has amnesia?

    More importantly Jim payed enough attention to recall something that happened ~4 years ago. That is a surprise to everyone.

    I love the karmic joke of Han having amnesia, probably from the DM not wanting him to screw the story up by making stuff up because he didn't remember, only to have Jim remember what actually happened. XD

    I would bet money on him only remembering because he and Annie talk with each other about their characters during times of day when Jim isn't intentionally keeping his brain in neutral.

    Way to go Jim! Now take advantage of his distraction to turn on the jet pack and toss him towards the Sarlaac, who will hopefully develop terminal indigestion.

    Boba is great in this one a epic rant on how Obi-Wan has taken everything from him finishing with the Observation that he could have moved on had he know earlier. And Jabba is still enjoying the drama.

    Nice that the DM asks if the monologues are to much after Jim's (in character) outburst.

    Boba's monologue is epic. Jabba's comment might have been a mistake.

    Luke looks a bit silly hanging in the air like that.

    At least now I know I'm not alone in those readings! And dang it, even if it's not true, that's gonna be headcanon from now on. I don't care if it's in the future, I'm imagining it now! Come on, Irregulars, do it justice!

    Except it would look like that because the authors/artists suffered a real mental breakdown from being forced to watch Battlefield Earth repeatedly.

    So instead of accidentally smacking Boba Fett's jetpack and forcing him to fall to his doom, Han accidentally caused Boba Fett to have a massive psychotic episode...and fall to his doom.

    I like it. It's like (one interpretation of) Javert, very appropriate for a homicidally obsessed bounty hunter.
