Boba Fett - The Twelve Parsec Stare

Boba Fett, the infamous intergalactic bounty hunter, has tracked his next prey into a dusty saloon in the outskirts of a remote space port. In the shadows of the busy space bar the hunter confronts his target’s three sinister henchmen. Who will blink first?

The Twelve Parsec Stare is a Finnish Star Wars -inspired short film with combining the Sci-Fi and the Western genres as its ambition. The non-commercial, non-profit project was funded entirely by the production team and the film has been made from start to finish in the duration of 2015, including the week-long filming period.

I love how Boba stops the third guy from firing with his boot, and lets him live. He's merciless with is enemies, but not just a murderer either.

I'm surprised how much of a story you can tell without a single piece of dialogue.

The "Man with no Name" "whistle" from the short droid was excellent. :)

[adamharrison]

That droid making the classic the Good the Bad and the Ugly sound was fucking awesome

[tobias]

this is litteraly the mandalorian show predicted 4 years back

[charlieanton]

It’s crazy watching this in hindsight now the Mandalorian is out. Whoever made this was ahead of the game!!

[WTFisTingispingis]

He's just a simple man making his way through the universe.

The Imperial March in the western style made me smile! Nice work.

[xdanman]

That little droid doing the "good, the bad, and the ugly" theme was a nice touch. Bravo.

[lukepetronella]

This has to be one of the best Star Wars fan films of all time

[ilittlemonster]

Please Disney, please make the future Boba Fett movie in the style of a old Western.

I've always said that the best parts of Star Wars are distinctly western. Jeremy Bulloch said he felt like the man with no name as he donned Boba's cloak. Boba is said to have "spurs" and you can hear them as he walks in ESB. The Han - Greedo shootout is a distinctly western scene.

I hope more western tropes are used in the future of Star Wars, I truly feel that it is and should remain steeped in Western mythology.

great short. creative characters, very authentic mandalorian armor, and you stayed true to the mysteriousness of the character. Well done!

[dubbydapanda]

I like how it had that Clint Eastwood vibe he's supposed to have! The costumes and effects makeup was absolutely spectacular! I loved every bit of this.

My god, this is 7 years old?!

This is timeless, if you ask me. Alot of the camera work and movement of the character were spot on like Episode 4, 5 or 6 were shot (the whistling Droid in the beginning and his head turning, for example).
The whole thing perfectly encapsules the essence of WHAT made Boba Fett such a great character without as much as ushering even 1 word.
Intimidating, ruthless, mysterious and a badass that knows how to increase his infamy (letting that one guy live, by "disarming" him with his Boot, while winning a 3v1.
The scene at the table as a whole, the camera angles and the quick takedowns were quite frankly phenomenal, especially the "smoking barrel aftermath" perspective from the top.

Simply perfect, and completely ahead of its time (Book of Boba Fett, Mandalorian, etc)

the "good the bad and the ugly" note from the little astromech - brilliant idea

[JonathanRodriguez-nznw]

Dead serious, this is the best Star Wars fan film out. Tied with "Darth Maul:Apprentice" but I am a fan of the Fett more so this is number 1 to me. Captured the character of Boba Fett perfectly and was very well done

[samwheat]

Whoever is in the boba suit had the mannerisms down perfectly. More please.

[albertogutierrez]

I used to be a Star Wars. I hate the current franchise. However, I loved this piece. Well done. I was engaged.

If Disney ever makes a Boba Fett film, let’s hope they stay as true to the character as you have here. Bravo!
