a small list of personality traits observed in boba fett's character in the expanded universe series legacy of the force

i was compiling this list for my own writing reference for older (see: 60+) expanded universe boba fett but figured i might as well share it here as well! so, uh, here's a list of various boba fett personality traits i've observed while rereading the legacy of the force novels!

sarcastic and acerbic way of communicating. often frustrated by his own inability to be genuine and warm with people he cares about.

never raises his voice. gets annoyed when other people yell, esp over comms.

dry, self-deprecating sense of humor. doesn’t mind poking fun at his own ignorance or mistakes. 

cynical. tendency to expect the worst of people and situations. 

emotionally volatile: switches unpredictably between numb “scrupulous detachment” and overwhelming “raw emotions.”

uncomfortable in social/emotional situations. compares even basic social interaction to “a minefield.” “switches off” and/or attempts to flee when emotions become overwhelming. often relies on beviin to “haul him out of the mire” when he hits his limit socially or emotionally.

highly principled; always keeps his word, even when it pains him to do so. that said, in truly dire circumstances, is not above using wordplay to loophole his way out of a promise. like some fucked up fae. 

inner conflict between wanting to reconcile with/help/protect loved ones and deep-seated belief that he will inevitably bring them harm and suffering. 

often has violent thoughts about the people around him, including his loved ones, which contribute to his previously mentioned belief that he will inevitably cause harm to them. for example, he randomly feels the urge to strike mirta when she’s sitting next to him and gets a “predatory” feeling when he’s around a blinded sintas. feels disturbed by these thoughts, obviously never acts on them.

Fun Fact: Togrutas are capable of echolocation

some people live their lives without even being obsessed with some guy. if you call that living
