Boba Fett's 'No Disintegrations' Mystery SOLVED

The meaning of Darth Vader ’s now - famous monition to Boba Fett , a critical piece of the bounty hunter ’s backstory , has been bring out in a newStar Warscanon novel . Fett was first seen on the big silver screen inThe Empire Strikes Backas one of the many soldier of fortune Vader hired to find and catch theMillennium Falcon . While the dark lord did n’t manage what method the bounteousness hunters used to locate the ship , he ordered that those aboard it - Han Solo , Princess Leia , Chewbacca , and C-3PO - be keep animated . As he wrapped up the meeting , Vader singled out Boba Fett and severely told the Mandalorian,“No disintegration . “A fun piece of mankind - building dialogue , the telephone exchange tot to the mystique of Boba , helping him become a buff - favorite .

In the age sinceEmpire ’s liberation , moviegoers have speculated what maybe could have transpired between Vader and Boba to warrant such a counseling . A democratic theory ( which has since been expose ) propose Fett was the one who torched Own and Beru Lars in search of the droids . Some TV audience hoped the event in question would finally be depicted in a futureStar Warsspinoff film , but the story group had other plans for it and have now offered the unequivocal in - population explanation .

The bookStar Wars : From A Certain Point of Viewholds the solvent to the big question . Set during the issue ofA New Hope , the novel is a collection of scant account playing through that germinal pic through the heart of various background and supporting characters . One chapter sees Boba Fett ( who was added toA New Hopein the special variant ) as the narrator , and the bounty hunter tells the reader he was on Tatooine after discover Vader was on the Leigh Hunt for R2 - D2 and C-3PO . He hoped to discover the robots to make affair correct with the Empire after a previous job for Vader did n’t go as design :

" He ’s [ Vader ] still got a mad on over those rebel spy I crisped on Coruscant . changeling came came at me with ion disruptors . What , they cogitate I would n’t stockpile a weapon accelerator ? Flash , roaring , three tiny ash tree piles . try out to collect and Lord ' No Disintegrations ! ' refused to pay without bodies .

The short history further reveals Boba was in hobby of Artoo and Threepio , but the trail exit inhuman once he retrieve the ruin sandcrawler and the corpses of Owen and Beru . If only Jabba had stay put in docking bay 94 a little longer , Fett may have been able to gather his payday . As it were , Boba was able to please both his associates subsequently on in the original trilogy , kill two birds with one stone by trance Han inEmpire . He no doubt was handsomely compensated for that job , so it all work out in the end ( until Boba landed in the Sarlaac fossa , of line ) .

There ’s always a chance Boba ’s hunt of the aforementioned rebel spies is depicted in another publishing ( like a comedian ) , but Lucasfilm ’s conclusion to admit the origin of"No disintegrations"in a book means it ’s highly unconvincing the incident is seen onscreen . An anthology picture feature Boba Fettis thought to be in ontogeny , and while fans would wish to see more of the case in - action , making"No disintegrations"a lynchpin of the narration would be limiting from a creative linear perspective . It ’s probably for the best this aspect of Fett ’s life was fleshed out in lit , so if he ever does headline a picture , it can be something all new audiences have no noesis of and help theStar Warsuniverse further expand .
