Day 19: bounty hunter

♡ imagine being a sweet clairvoyant/empath girl & boba fett using that to his advantage for particularly taxing jobs (of which there are few) ♡

♡ clairvoyance and empath abilities were just something you were gifted with ever since you were small.

♡ you somehow encounter boba fett in some trashy bar place where hes busy doing a job.

♡ after taking care of his business, an unsuspected person appears from behind a corner and attempts to shoot at him from far away, but you already saw it coming 10 minutes ago in one of your visions.

♡ you snuck up behind the person and knocked him out with a heavy object.

♡ Fett interrogates you after, suspecting that youre secretly plotting something against him, but you explain your ability.

♡ he doesnt believe you at first, until you prove it to him. you reveal parts of his past to him that no one else knows, and you predict a bar fight 5 minutes before it breaks out.

♡ he kind of dislikes it at first, but then decides you may be useful. he keeps a tab on you.

♡ eventually he comes to find you and brings you along with him on a more elaborate job. work smarter, not harder. use whatever you can to get paid faster and easier, as long as its efficient.

♡ he tests u a lot first to make sure ur actually reliable.

♡ you're able to pick up on a lot of things faster and it saves him a lot of time.

♡ "i think youve got a small group of people waiting behind the next set of doors...5 or 6 guys with blaster rifles..."

♡ "you think or you know?"

♡ "....i know..."

♡ "very good."

♡ he offers you very tiny little praises like that, even just tiny nods of approval leave you kinda flustered.

♡ dont even get me started on "clever girl." goodbye.

♡ after the job is finished you find yourself kind of taken with him and you dont really want to go back to whatever you were previously doing.

♡ "couldn't i come with you?"

♡ "some other time, maybe."

♡ he leaves you in a nicer place, secretly keeping tabs on you still because he finds himself somewhat taken with you as well.

♡ some time passes and you occasionally find yourself being approached by him for small favors.

♡ eventually a long time passes and you dont hear too terribly much from him.

♡ you have visions of the sarlacc incident only a day before it happens, and you immediately start trying to make your way to tatooine.

♡ once you finally get to where it is, he has already escaped the pit after blowing it up and being found by Dengar and his betrothed, Manaroo.

♡ you throw yourself over him and hug him, crying.

♡ "oh, Jaster..."

♡ seeing him all burned and maimed breaks your heart and you apologize for not knowing sooner.

♡ hes kind of in and out of consciousness, but in his weakened state, hes softer and he confesses to you that he had missed you too.

♡ he has always been noted as being an "ugly man" (i.e. "the last one standing" and "essential guide to characters".) and that never bothered him much, but he feels slightly bothered that the first time you're seeing him is when hes even less appealing to look at due to all the burns and etc.

♡ you care very little. hes always said his helmet is his face. his appearance underneath doesnt matter to you.

♡ Dengar and Manaroo are confused. probably dont use his old name in front of other people who dont know about his past? lol

♡ you explain the history between the two of you to Dengar and Manaroo

♡ Dengar is stunned that he ever had any involvement with a woman, for obvious reasons.

♡ Manaroo is fascinated to meet a clairvoyant empath because she herself is an empath, so you two bond over that similarity

♡ Dengar nudges Fett, smirking "those empath women, huh?"

♡ Fett just gives him the look. like, you may have just helped prevent my death, but be quiet, lol.

♡ "well, Manaroo, I already have a best man now. do you need an extra bridesmaid?"

♡ (Fett agreed to be the best man for Dengar at the end of "payback: the tale of dengar" and i think its so cute lol...)

♡ she looks at you and smiles. "would you like to be a bridesmaid?"

♡ "you two are getting married? id love to be a bridesmaid!"

i love the idea of these 4 little sweeties being a friend group...♡ its so cute...hehe...

i think the key difference between george lucas's star wars and disney's star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that's how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can't have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you're a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can't take sides. you can't decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.

I wasn’t expecting Boba making a hand heart to get the attention it has. I decided to get some small stickers made of himbs. 🥹 My amazing hubby took one and modeled him with one of our plants and a few of our Boba collectibles. If anyone is interested, I have some for sale on my Etsy to help raise funds for medical bills and hubby’s truck payment. Thank you for looking! 💕
