@owie:Looking through your respect thread, I feel like Boba will eventually be overwhelmed. Prime is no slouch in skill and both fighters have some formidable equipment. Assuming Prime's flight can be sustained indefinitely, that advantage is neutralized for Boba.
It's a great match but I think Prime's android physiology ultimately provides him an advantage here.
Prime's flight capabilities are unfortunately not very well documented. Without better evidence I would guess Fett is more maneuverable in flight. I do think his cyborg physiology makes him hard to take down.
I read your respect thread, Boba wins.
He really can't be harmed by any if his weapons, even the energy sword.
A thermal detonator to the face should do the trick
I agree that Boba's beskar armor plates are probably invulnerable to any of Prime's weapons. However, the plates only cover certain parts of his body, the rest is covered by a cloth-like weave that is certainly very damage resistant, but I think most of Prime's weapons could penetrate it, from his more conventional weapons to his unidirectional solar flare.
Another option for Prime is simply to engage him in H2H; they're starting pretty close, and Prime is significantly stronger than Fett. All he really has to do is grab him and break his limbs to incap him to a high degree, and since his limbs are mostly not protected by the beskar, that's possible to do. Given his speed, and his generally visceral style of fighting, that's probably not an unlikely tactic for him to use.
Granted it's not an unbeatable tactic either--Fett could try to escape by air, although he's not going to know about Prime's strength ahead of time so I don't know if he would.
I'm not sure Boba would go with a thermal detonator from up close, as he'd be caught in the blast as well, at least if he tried that right off the bat from only 20' apart. Plus Prime has withstood some pretty major damage, such as a barrage of missiles from a mech and being catapulted across a city; the thermal detonator may not take him out on its own. Now if Fett flies up right away and turns the fight into a ranged battle right from the start, this may be a more effective option. Whether he would normally do that, and whether Prime would let him get a chance to do that, is another question.
