Erm, What The Flip Dave?

Erm, what the flip Dave?

Wait—

yeah pretty much

I cannot just follow orders when I know they're wrong!

I love that the deleted Boba Fett vs Cad Bane duel scene from TCW suggests that the helmet dent was from Cad Bane’s shot when they fire at each other. Cad Bane is one of the baddest mfs around and yes, if anyone is going to shoot Boba Fett in the head, it’s him.

saw a delightful post about how the dent in boba fett's helmet probably indicates that his armor isn't 100% beskar, and one of the conclusions the post draws it that din djarin's armor is almost certainly better/more expensive than boba's. i want to say that this is even more the case if we're comparing din to expanded universe boba, whose armor is 100% durasteel. no beskar in that bad boy at all. it's literally the shittiest mando armor money can buy and when boba becomes mand'alor, his mandalorian friends basically corner him and block the door until he lets them swap it out for actual beskar.

no concrete explanation is given for why EU!boba buries his father's armor plates (which presumably contained at least some actual beskar) instead of just using them himself, but my personal headcanon is a combination of:

he doesn't feel worthy of wearing his father's armor

shitty durasteel armor was all he could afford when he was a teenager, which appears to be when he started wearing his trademark durasteel plates

he just likes having armor that shows battle damage. medrit, his armor-smith friend, even teases him about this, saying he can paint scuffs and dents onto his new beskar armor if boba would like.

related to the above: every single dent and scar on his armor is like a little message to the outside world saying, "i lived, bitch," and fett's reluctant to give that up :`D
