Face-off: The Bounty Hunters Gerard Butler vs. Boba Fett
With all due respect to Dog, we can’t hear the words “bounty hunter” without thinking Boba Fett: Cinema’s most ruthless bounty hunter has had an impact far beyond his relatively minor role in the original Star Was trilogy, living on in the expanded Star Wars galaxy, on novelty T-shirts, and in nerds’ hearts everywhere. So, can Milo Boyd — the ex-cop turned bumbling bounty hunter portrayed by Gerard Butler in this week’s action rom-com The Bounty Hunter — keep up with Fett? Let’s break it down!
 Boba Fett |  Milo Boyd | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Target | Han Solo | Jennifer Aniston |
| External Armory | Roughed-up, Mandalorian designed spacesuit, outfitted with a rocket pack and mementos from felled victims. | Jeans, Skechers, short-sleeve plaid shirt. |
| Employers | Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt. | Jeff Garlin. |
| General Tactics | Suit is equipped with a flamethrower and rocket dart launchers. Carries a sawed-off BlasTech EE-3 rifle. | Shooting, lying, stealing, tackling, credit-card fraud, groin-kicking. |
| Method of Transportation | His spaceship, Slave I. | Light-blue convertible, golf cart. |
| Concern for Well-being of Target | Present, but solely selfish: Fett needs Solo to survive carbon-freezing in order to get him to Jabba alive. | Subtextually, yes, as Aniston’s character is his ex-wife. |
| Does He Drink on the Job? | Common sense would say no, although that was one wicked party going down on Jabba sail barge, so who really knows. . | Yes. |
| Victim of Ignominious Ending? | Yes, eaten by sarlacc. | No: ends with a kiss. Surprise. |
