Hello Fellow Fetts,
My apologies if this topic has been discussed (I couldn't find anything on it though - via searching) But after seeing the second season of "The Mandalorian", I had a few questions up for debate....(Potential spoilers for those who haven't seen those episodes - My apologies)
First off, how freaking awesome was it to see our hero back in action and not showing those Stormtroopers any mercy? Like all of you, I'm so stoked in seeing "The Book of Boba Fett" this holiday season!
OK.....and down to business...
I know our Fett-World is ever evolving. It is just fun to be nit-picky......hehehe. Now the 501st has made mention, in their latest iteration of the Left gauntlet that there should be a "slight but noticeable lip around the forward opening of the flamethrower housing."....this is kind of a two-part question/discussion.....
Firstly, The Mandalorian show, chronologically takes place after Return of the Jedi, correct? And those Gauntlets are presumably the same as we've seen in the Return of the Jedi. In The Mandalorian show, I didn't see that "slight but noticeable lip" around his Flamethrower Housing. Even in the very last episode of the second season, that post credit scene didn't have it either.
Are we to assume that either the Jawa's or Cobb Vanth removed that piece? (Also, personally, I was never a BIG fan of that piece and didn't include it on my Gauntlet)
And the second part of this is......I thought that the Left Gauntlet (Those Nozzles) was the Flamethrower? Now.....I know in Return of the Jedi we never see Boba Fett use the flamethrower, but a later artist rendition has him using it in the Sarlaac pit, which is where I think we got the notion that those nozzles were a Flamethrower....
The only reason I bring this up is because in the Mandalorian we see....
I think it shows pretty clear that those double laser blasts are coming out of the flame thrower nozzles. Or are we to assume that they are 2 weapons in one? (can be used for either a Flamethrower or Laser Blasts)
In ROTJ we see Boba Fett shoot a laser blast from what looked like came from the Gauntlet Rocket...
Even Machine Craft Replica's calls his piece.....
(Which are awesome pieces by the way and what I have on my Boba Maker Gauntlets!)
Furthermore, in the last episode of season two of The Mandalorian, we see Boba Fett use his Flamethrower, which is clearly on the Right Gauntlet.....
Again, it is fun to pick things like this apart a little. So I'd love to hear what you guys think on the subject too!
Oh....one final thing.....but did you notice that Boba Fett's LED was glowing red on his Jetpack Beacon in the last post credit scene in The Mandalorian?
I just thought that was interesting.
Cheers,
