Boba Binks: who, what, huh?

Who or what is "Boba Binks?" "Boba Binks" is the name I use for online forums. If you cannot tell "Boba Binks" is derived from two different Star Wars characters: Boba Fett and Jar Jar Binks. How and why I choose this name to use for myself. “Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace” just came out to theaters. During this time Boba Fett seemed to be the one character that most Star Wars fans really liked or loved. Jar Jar Binks on the other hand was the one character that everyone beside myself seemed to have a strong disliking or hatred for. So I decided to take the most beloved of Star Wars character and the most hated of Star Wars character and combined the two. I came up with “Boba Binks the most feared Bounty Hunter on Naboo.” I thought it was an ingenious name. Of course I got lots of flake from people who really hated Jar Jar Binks and loved Boba Fett. I was told it was an outrage to combine the two characters into one. That is what I was looking for, a name that everyone including his or her grandmother would recognize. Not only has this name of "Boba Binks" given me popularity both good and bad but also when someone in the Star Wars community mentions "Boba Binks" they know exactly whom they are talking about.

The good side of things with this name is I have recognition, made friends, and met lots of people across the world. I have had many opportunities open up to me as well.
On the bad side of things with this name I have gotten a bad rap for things that I did not say. Back in 2001-2002 (and beyond from time to time) someone logged into many various forums as Boba_Binks, not "Boba Binks" like I use. This person who was prosecuted posted many negative things, lied about issues, and more to cause some trouble. Of course by this time my name of "Boba Binks" was well known. I started to get several nasty e-mails about the stuff this other Boba_Binks was posting. Even until now there are people out there who do not understand what really went on and still do not trust me. That is fine by me, for those who do know me know I like to help other honest people out there and make friends. All that I do know is that this person who did all these things which will remain nameless lives in the same state as me and he got what was coming to him. Like I mentioned, I prosecuted this person for slander.
Since then there have been other BobaBinks, bobabinks, and Joba_Jinks out there who all did the same thing as Boba_Binks. I never found out who these people or person was. If I would have I would have prosecuted them for slander as well.

Overall I can say that my name of "Boba Binks" has given me what any well know person or name does. It has made me many friends and made me some enemies. I can live with that. For I will stand proud of the name I came up with that is “Boba Binks the most feared Bounty Hunter on Naboo.”
