Young Boba stalemated Mace Windu? WTF?
I Was reading Boba Fett's article on Wookiepedia and read this:
What the hell? Boba wasn't even an adult at this point, he was only 12.
Is this canon, as far as EU is concerned? Did a twelve year old Boba Fett really fight Mace Windu to a near stand still, to the point where they were both "battered and wounded" and on their last legs??

I remember reading that years ago in one of the Boba Fett books. For whatever reason Windu kept giving Boba warnings after it was clear Boba wanted him dead and kept trying to kill Windu (who was defending himself with somewhat ease). I think Windu was about to pwn Boba when Palpatine stopped the fight. Neither of the fighers were really hurt in anyway if I remember correctly. It was weird, doesn't give EU a better name thats for sure.
It isn't exactly the best EU, and I highly doubt its canon.

boba fett is an incredibly inconscistent character. in both rotj and dark empire, he is a klutz. in twin engines of destruction, the fat lady sings, and most of the other boba fett comics and the afore mentioned, he is an ungodly person who is the best bounty hunter.
rotj - flies into something and falls into a sarlaac pit (stupidhead)
dark empire - misses han and hits a fett, knocking him off a giant cliff in nal hutta then procedes to chase han and run into a force field effectively destroying the slave II
twin engines of destruction - awesome guy who beats an entire monarchy into submission for the empire
death, lies, and treachury-other random awesome stuff.
and somewhere else- he has vader distracted easily and decides to instead of killing him, run away
somewhre else- he fights vader with a lightsaber
so what the hell is up with boba? he can successfully fight both windu and vader, and then he can run into something and fall into a sarlaac pit? and crash his ship? and accidentally knock a hutt into an abyss?
I read that about a week ago... I thought it came in comic form...
Also, in the movie, I believe Lucas said that if he believed Boba would get this popular, he would have given him a better 'death'. So I don't really think that it's a great example of Boba that can be used if even Lucas is questioning it...
that was from golden age of the sith. the guy was so strong that instead of giving up and dying, he had his head preserved in a jar and carried around. and he called himself a sith lord. i would love to see him in lightsaber combat
the first one is true. the glove really is the secret to force choking... ever see anyone else force choke in the movie?

Hahaha. The EU is truly amusing at times. I think I remember reading the "Glove of Darth Vader" or something like that. I think that same glove was somehow indestructible also, remember when it blocked Han's blaster fire? LOL (It was the force obviously.)
