Boba Fett

The Mandalorians, also known as "Children of the Mandalore", were a nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species and genders, all bound by a common culture; battle, with war being a common source of honor and pride in their community. From these people came an unalterd clone of a fierce bounty hunter named Boba Fett. 


Boba Fett was a human Mandalorian warrior and bounty hunter from the planet Kamino. He was a reoccurring antagonist hired by Darth Vader, but had a hard time serving the dark side because of some natural instincts. He found himself saving Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C3-PO, and R2D2, only of which he was sent to kill. As time passed, he learned quickly of what his purpose in life was; to be an equally villainous, but less conspicuous character as Darth Vader. He had very good fighting tactics. He was strong, quick, and clever. He was determined to finish his duty and to overcome any obstacles that were thrown his way. Boba was good at everything he was told to do and he did it with a lot of heart and never gave up.


Boba Fett is originally played by Jeremy Bulloch, Daniel Logan, or Mark Austin, but the Boba Fett in my life is Mr. Wood. Mr. Wood is in his own way a warrior and a bounty hunter, but his goal is to be this way for his students. He strives to fight the good fight only for the betterment of his English 12 Class. He may seem like he is the antagonist since he is a teacher and teachers give homework, but, like Boba, he finds himself serving for the good because of his natural instincts. Mr. Wood's tactics as a teacher are the same as Boba's as a bounty hunter. First, he is strong mentally because he makes sure that he translates all his possible knowledge in any way shape or form so we can learn and become the best. Second, he is quick not only when we play lightning, or field hockey, but he is quick to teach us only the material we NEED, not material that we won't use ever again. It isn't like he is teaching us the basics, but the most potent and essential material possible. Third, he is clever in the sense that he makes projects or gives us homework that may at the time seem tedious and irrelevant, but in the end it was from those lessons that we learned the most and benefitted from in the long run. Mr. Wood is determined to finish his duty as a teacher and to overcome any obstacles that are thrown his way. He is good at everything he does whether it be as a teacher or parent and he does it with all his heart because he will never give up.

  1. This is so true. He is one of the few teachers that teach us things that will actually benefit us in our life. Even though English isn't one of my favorite subjects, it is one of my favorite classes because of how he teaches!

  2. I agree with you Cristi! Mr. Wood is by far one of the best teachers at the school, I'm always learning things that I know will come in handy one day. I will truly miss his class once we graduate...
