That all depends on how many times Lucas tampered with the film.

Yeah- he would release one version, distribute it on DVD, then re-release it a year or two later with an alternate ending where the other one wins.

Hmmm.... well, Im betting on Predator, but only because I think he looks cooler. Boba's pretty nasty too.

Which predator?  There are a lot of them, and they vary greatly in skill.

Well, since badass fan favorite characters from Lucas pretty much underwhelm or get killed off too easily (Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Jango Fett, ) I'd bet on a Predator.

Do Predators still tote around the small nuke for dying man's revenge? I've never read any of the AVP books or comics, so my knowledge of them comes from the first 2 movies.

Boba, Jango, Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader - and most likely Count Dufus (well, he was pretty cool in the Clone Wars cartoon - which is infinitely better than Episode 1/2).

Yeah, Predators love their last man standing nukes - but if Arnie could walk away from one, so could Boba.

As to a fight, it would be pretty close both of them are bad ass nutters. It really depends on the playing field. Is it a straight fight or is it one hunting the other? Personally, I think if one didn't get the drop on the other it could be a bit of a Mexican stand-off.

Who would win?

Answer: The studio execs who would make squillions out of such a showdown.  These are two of my favourite Sci Fi characters, so the movie could be just both of them sitting around playing cards for all I care, it would still kick ass for me.

Although one plot point that could work with this is they are both hunting the same prey, Fett trying to keep it alive for the bounty, the Predator's just after a honking big trophy.  Would be an interesting development of Fett's character for one, and the place of some interesting action for another.

Though this will never happen so I don't know why I bother thinking about it anyway.  Well I guess there are always dreams...

The only way Boba would stand a chance is if he could somehow disable the Predator's portable cloak generator.

Once that's out of commission, they're pretty much on equal terms.
The only exception to that would be their physical strength.
The Predator is probably twice as strong as Boba Fett.
If it came down to a close quarter melee, my money would be on the Predator every time.

I agree.  Seems the Predator's weapons (from the movies) are a good combo of close (spear-thing),  medium (that cool disk from the 2nd film), and long range (autotargeting shoulder gun).  Boba, as depicted, seems a little underpowered in the close combat department. being a normal (if highly competent) human.

Boba Fet would fight dirty, I gather the Predator has sort of a Kzinti sense of honor.

Well, it's a battle of the cooler toys, no matter what.

Boba can use rockets, death darts, hogtie cords, and any other number of things. Would the Predator use his cloaking shield? Seems to me that when Predators face off with "the ultimate prey" they don't use the cloak anymore, or the mask. Boba might have a chance then.

Alas, we will never know.

I'd say that's about an even match.  They're on just about equal footing in terms of weaponry, although I imagine the ability to fly would help Boba out a great deal.  There's also the Predator honor system, to which Boba does not remotely adhere.  I figure he's probably got some sort of thermal imaging system in his Cool Helmet, so the Predator's invisibility gag wouldn't do much good.  So hell...my money's on Fett.

I assume you're all basing this on descriptions of Boba Fett from books, comics or other media because all he did in the movies was complain about wanting Han Solo alive and then get knocked into the pit of Sarnac.

Jedi vs. Preditor.
Mace Windu with a lightsaber and the Force.
Pred ain't got a chance. Jedi can sence you thru the force, so good by cloke. and the saber can cut thru anything the Pred has.
Now...a Dark Preditor...that another story!

Any facts from star wars eps 1, 2 and 3,  I consider hearsay and sacrilige to Star Wars lore.  I've got a few Star wars novels [which are surprisingly good, I revisited them recently after many a year], and Fetts character was fleshed out pretty well, much differently than attack of the clones, escape from sarlaac and all.

Ok, I know I know I haven't seen AotC as many times as the others, but wasn't Boba Fett just a kid in that one? I recall his father, Jango Fett doing some fighting...

Ooops. good point on Jango/Bobba

Although, I though that I heard that Bobba was a clone of Jango rasied naturally

Boba Fett would track the Predator's ship to somewhere and call in the entire Imperial Fleet, just like at Cloud City.  He never did any of his own fighting if it was at all avoidable... which frankly made him a pretty realistic bad guy if you look at the actual bad guys in the world.

Stranded on a wild planet with only that technology they could carry on their back, I'd say the Predator wins 9 out of 10 times.  His technology is just as good and he's several feet taller and stronger by a factor of ten.  If Jesse Ventura with his minigun couldn't handle Predator, neither could Boba Fett with his wrist rockets and jet pack.
