Description
Ok, I know he looks like Boba Fett. He's trying to look like Fett. He desperately wants, more than anything to be Fett. Ever since he was a little boy, he dreamed of it, and practiced his menacing nod in the mirror every day. His first helmet was shoddily crafted from a bucket with tin snips and a rusty hacksaw. His first bounty hunt was for "Timmy, the kid with asthma." He snuggled with a plush Darth Vader, and contracted hits on Kermit, and Mr. Bear.But he is not Boba Fett. He's Jodo Kast. And it's no longer cute now that he's a full grown poseur extraordinaire.
His blasters don't even fire laser bolts. They fire shame and self-loathing. His jetpack is fueled with the tears of a life wasted.
However, he does win Star Wars Trivia bar night, and the bar gift certificates are almost enough to drink the regret away.

His armor isn't dirty and blood-stained enough to be Boba Fett's. It's also not green enough. Jodo has a long way to go. *nods sagely*

"Don't say things like 'woosh' when you throw ninja stars, you don't hear people say 'pew pew' when they fire laser guns, do you? That's redundant, the guns do that for you."

I'm enjoying the description as much as the painting.

It's obvious that he is not boba fett. Jodo has two guns instead of one. And if it boba had to have two guns on him he would have done a better pose where he would be able to shoot both guns at the same time

I suppose he even wants to die like Boba; digested by some giant creature too fat to even move. ... No, not Jabba, the other one.
Do you write up these descriptions on the spot or do you actually think about this stuff while you're working on the painting?

Oh, most of the time I come up with them when I post. But sometimes, there's been something silly rattling around in my head since I started.

In one short story written by Timothy Zahn (Tales from the Empire) Jodo Kast was used by GA Thrawn as a disguise.
