i appreciate that in the boba fett expanded universe canon, we have multiple moments from multiple authors that boil down to "despite his reputation/appearance, boba fett is not fearless, and is in fact doing his level best right now to walk calmly away from this objectively terrifying situation rather than breaking into a fucking sprint in the opposite direction"

#i'm about to go to bed but i need to post an excerpt comparison later #bc this happens in both the junior novels when boba is like 10 and then again in ''a practical man'' when he's like 50-60 LOL #in the junior novels he's been captured by aurra sing and is trying to subtly sneak away from her in a populated area #and is just mentally yelling at himself ''DO NOT RUN. DO NOT RUN!!!''#bc if he runs everyone is going to look #and then in ''a practical man'' he basically spends the whole first meeting with the yuuzhan vong doing the same damn thing lol #boba fett #in the words of LotF: ''Fear‚ yes; but fear never paralyzed him. It just made him sharper.''#or in the junior novels: ''Fear is energy. This is energy—and I can control it.''#(ngl i read that bit from the junior novels when i was like 10 and it genuinely became a mantra for me)#(''fear is energy. fear is energy. fear is energy.'')
