Boba...

I am at a loss. 

How well do you remember the Star Wars movie Attack of the Clones?

Humor me for a moment, will you?

AotC was the second movie in the saga series and came out in 2002. 

In it we are introduced to this guy, a bounty hunter named Jango Fett.

This is what he looks like out of his mask.

Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi tracks Jango to the planet Kamino after Jango leads a failed attempt to assassinate Padme Amidala on Coruscant.

On Kamino, Kenobi discovers that Jango is the source of DNA used to produce an army of millions of Clone Troopers ordered by a now-dead Jedi to protect the Republic from Separatist forces.

This army of Clones was programmed to age at double the rate of a normal human clone of Jango to have the army ready that much sooner. 

As part of the agreement to use his DNA, Jango demands that one clone be saved for him but have it age normally so he can raise it as his son. This clone is named Boba.

This is the grown-up Boba Fett with a modified version of his father Jango's Mandalorian armor.

This is how I remember it anyway. Am I wrong? Isn't kid Boba the same as adult Boba?

Well on a Star Wars game I play, I and two others are in an argument with some guy who claims they are not the same person. He claims they have the same DNA but two different lives.

Why would you think they're not the same? Jango even calls him "Boba." What am I missing here? This idiot is the moron I think he is, right?

Many people will argue that remakes are pointless. I typically agree. Was a remake of The Magnificent Seven needed? Absolutely not. It's a classic western that stands light years above almost any other western ever made. But, then it can...

TBT: Steve...

I still can't believe that Steve Jobs died a little more than five years ago. Mind blowing. Equally mind blowing was the makeshift memorial fans made to his memory on the Apple Campus in Cupertino. Katie and I still count...

"Isn't kid Boba the same as adult Boba", yes, you're remembering correctly. Boba was a clone saved for Jango as part of the deal you mentioned. Thus the adult Boba is the same Boba in AoTC, and thus actually Jango because of the whole clone thing.

Well he's only Jango in terms of genetic material but I get ya.
