Boba Fett's Weird Comment

About

Boba Fett's Weird Comment, also known as Boba Fett Saying Something To Mando, is an exploitable image macro featuring the character Boba Fett from Star Wars talking to Din Djarin, the main character of The Mandalorian, who looks back at him. Since the format was created in late 2020, it has been used for odd comments, strange perspectives and unusual observations.

Origin

The image is taken from a scene in the seventh episode of the second season, titled "The Believer," that's in chapter 15 of The Mandalorian, which premiered on Disney+ on December 11th, 2020. In the scene, Mando and Boba Fett are seen standing together amongst the rest of their party as they strategize on how to infiltrate an Imperial base, which includes the shot of Mando looking back toward Fett (seen below).

The format was created the day after the episode aired by Redditor _MemesInMyDreams_, who uploaded a captioned sequence of images (shown below) to the /r/TheMandalorianTV^[1] subreddit. The image gained over 900 upvotes in nine months. Shortly afterward, _MemesInMyDreams_ posted the template, which received 2,500 upvotes in nine months.

Spread

The format has been used primarily within meme-focused communities, especially on Reddit, since appearing shortly after the episode was aired. For example, on December 26th, 2020, Redditor nickslickstricks posted an example of the meme (seen below) to /r/memes.^[2] The image gained over 54,000 upvotes within two weeks before being removed.

On August 30th, 2021, Redditor MCKlassik posted an example of the meme (shown below) to /r/memes.^[3] The image gained over 14,000 upvotes in a week.

Response Derivative

A less used derivative of the format exists, adding a third panel where Din Djarin resumes his original position and responds with a laconic agreement to Boba Fett's odd comment. This format was created on December 13th, 2020, by Redditor mandalorian88-25, who posted the sequence of images (seen below) to /r/dankmemes.^[4] The post received over 21,000 upvotes in six months.
