The soundtrack.

A good friend was having a birthday soon so I picked up a small plastic Boba Fett figure to give him. We were waiting in line to pay for it when my gf asks “Who is Boba Fett?”

The pasty, overweight dude standing in line in front of us turns around and says, uninvited, “He’s the biggest badass in the galaxy.”

Which told her pretty much all she needed to know. The Fett is still guarding my friend’s door.
