(dont know how to do that quote thing)Why not? In a galaxy with trillions of people in it theres bound to be more than one bounty hunter. they couldve made him from scratch as a brand new enemy
Did you not read what I said, Furius? He put in Boba SPECIFICALLY as the guy who was meant to have fathered the Clones! That was the back story he gave the character! That was rather the point.
And Lucas, again no-one is denying that Fett was IN the cartoon first. But he was not thought of FOR the cartoon- he was thought up FOR ESB, they nabbed him the the Holiday Speical and got that out first.
And you can continue to have that opinion about Fett if you want but it contradicts the sources we have. And yes, he did not have Count Dooku in his mind when he wrote TPM- but he DID know there would be another Sith Lord doing all that, he just hadn't specified the character.
We all know GL makes a lot of stuff up as he goes along and as I say, Chewbacca is evidence of that. But having a Fett in the prequels being a vital part of the founding of the Clone army was an idea he came up with right back when making the originals.
