its determination baby. as i was reading your post i had another little thought. we see boba's evolution mirror anakins a little in this movie, seeing their only parent die. fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering, maybe this works for boba as well. as for the 12 year old thing, i don't think it woud be any worse than a blind han solo taking out boba or the ewoks taking out " a legion of [the emperor's] best troops". it all dpends on the situation, even though i want to see it happen , i agree that the possiblity of it being "rubbish" is great.
