I aswell as many thought his death was a bit corny.What would you do for his death if you were Lucas?I first of all would have given him a larger part.

Dim
I think they should have shown him being desolved...ewwwwee!!! As for the larger part...I think it will be nice to see his back story. After 2 and 3 are over it will make him see much more significant to the series smile

UnknownBountyHunter
I would have him hunted down and cooked for dinner by a family of wookies.

Jedi Mercenary
I don't think he should die at all!!

Dim
Wookies wouldn't really eat him would they?....I'm sure he'd be tough and grissly anyway.

UnknownBountyHunter
Wookies are carnivorous and they hate humans, you never know. Also Jedi Mercenary we aren't saying he will die, re-read the title smile

Tom Gon Jinn
I would make him just dissapear, so no-one knows whether he is alive or not, and then you could bring him back if you wanted.

Tom Gon:
1) good signature
2) good ranksmile

I think Boba Fett should retire and disapear. His disapearance/death should be a mystery that never get solved. I didn't like it when Jodo Kast got killed off.

Darth Daft
I think, like in the EU, he doesn't actually die. The sarlacc spits him out because it can't digest his armour.

yerssot
IF I let him die, I would do it with style!

Like the way his father and OB1 are fighting but then with Luke

Julie
What about a biological weapon that can get under his helmet and make him break out in something or other.?????

yerssot
perhaps, anyway, as long as it's not a stupid death

Julie
Who gets to define "stupid death"....people's opinions vary greatly you know....I suppose GL has the final say if it ever comes to the death of Boba..

yerssot
stupid like in lucky, rediculous ...
he has to die with a lot of action, they have to go to the end to kill him...

Julie
why...stupid death or honorable death or just plain death is .......*drum roll* ......death.

Get it....death = death. how he dies would be nice if it's cool but after the fact it makes little difference.......(I'm babbling here)

yerssot
it's the way he died, he fell in the Sarlacc after Han ignited his jetpack... a BLIND Han!

Mujaffa
fett doesn't die before empire of the dark part two

ToMacco
I don't see why every character needs to die a heroic death.

Ushgarak
Boba Fett didn't need a HEROIC death, just a decent one.

Mujaffa- forget the books. GL has clearly stated that Fett died in that pit.

Captain REX
Whatever. If GL's "clearly stated" that, how come he's still alive in EU?

Captain REX
Plus, if he was to die a heroic death, he would have killed one of Luke's friends! No one else was good there!

Ushgarak
Because, Rex, the EU is not the offiical storyline in any way or form. Anything that happens in the EU has nothing to do with the plotline of the films at all.

Boba Fett is dead. GL said so. That's all there is to it.

yerssot
Little question: When I first saw RotJ, I had the impression they made a deal with Boba (didn't attacked Leia in disguise, nodded and stuff)

Ushgarak
I don't think that was meant to be implicit.

yerssot
Just "bounty hunters socialising"?

Captain REX
Leia was disguised as a Ubese bounty hunter. Boba Fett must have known the deseased bounty hunter, but not know he was dead. So he nodded as in "Hey buddy. Wanna go get a bud light after the execution?"

finti
Well Boba died in ROTJ end of him

King Jedi
And the way he went - nobody actually beat him.

ryamathart
YOu know i dont think he died because i didnt actually see him die. I saw him fall into the sarlaac pit and that was it. So I think he just rocketed out of the pit. I mean if something inside of you is on fire would you try to puke it up?

so in the end i dont think boba fett is dead he was to mystyrious to die

Ushgarak
George Lucas said that Boba Fett was dead, so there you go.

ryamathart
what the hell is EU

Ushgarak
Expanded Universe- any storyline set in the Star Wars universe not based on GL's works- so that is the books (but NOT the novelisations), the games, the comics, the reference works etc.

The important thing is that the EU is not 'canon'- that is to say, not part of the actual Star Wars storyline. So anything in there does not necessarily have any true baering on the films- recrnt notable examples being Boba Fett and Owen Lars, the backgrouns of which were firlmly established in EU but are now contradicted by the films. It is, of course, the films that are right.

Julie
EU is awesome....not cannon, but really nice for killing all of one's spare time. You could practically be crushed by all of the EU books....comics, games, etc. cool

shaber
If he's in the sarlaac's gut then he wouldn't be 'dead' for centuries.

That's the only excuse you ever give. stick out tongue

Slytherin Girl
I believe just was Lucas says & do.
Sometimes EU changes all.

I like EU of course, but talkin' about FACTS i just believe Lucas Info.

Luke should have killed Boba Fett in a similar way in which Mace killed Jango. Though having said that, Boba's death is probably the most memorable death in the entire saga, regardless of how crappy it may be.

Maikahyandowen
Yeah, he should've died like Jango, except a little more drawn out and dramatic.

Protector
Look Boba Fett is dead or dieing for 1,000 years in the belly of the sarlaac pit. That is not being questioned. What this is for is if we had the power to go back in time and rewrite how Boba Fett dies how would, we do it. On that note when Leia started choking Jaba, Jaba would scream and Boba Fett would come to him rescue. He would hit Leia then Luke would jump into the ship. In the ship it would be a Luke Boba Fett fight with little crowd interference. The fight would be really cool because the boat would be too small for any jumping but it would is big enough to smash each other into the walls.

Red Superfly
How can anyone die for a 1000 years?

You would die from the pain and shock within the first year at least, and anyone who doesn't top themselves is obviously an idiot. Also, humans have a tendency to never make it past a century anyway. So what's all that about?

So, about Boba - Lucas said on the DVD's he's dead. Simple as that. BUT he does say that if he knew back then just how popular Fett would become, he'd have him blast out of the pit dramatically. That's all he said. I'd like that too.

Fett blasting out of the pit (not killing it) and just flying off in a "NEXT TIME GADGET!" way would be good enough for me.

Uber_God
i would have boba die less crappy
a universally known bounty hunter getting killed because of a wookie smacking his jetpack is a little too lame

Red Superfly
It wasn't a wookie.

It was was a BLIND Han Solo accidentally hitting his jetpack, so it's even worse than that.

I don't know how Lucas thought that having an Intergalactic version of the 3 Stooges in Return Of The Jedi would make anything better.

Uber_God
i would atleast have him killed in a fight with han solo like a old west shoot out

Red Superfly
There is a sweet irony to how Boba Fett died though. I mean he died at the hands of his own quarry. Somehow I find that quite amusing.

Lord Shadow Z
I would have liked Boba Fett to blast out the pit shooting at Luke, Luke notices this, deflects a laser blast into his rocket pack, making Fett blast over his head with the momentum, Fetts about to aim a shot , and then gets decapitated by Luke in mid-air who then force pushes the rest of the falling body away into A. the Sarrlacc Pit or B. a big laser blast.

Either way I'm happy.

Red Superfly
Ever since I saw Episode II, I always enjoy it when Boba Fett falls into the Sarlecc Pit.

I used to like Boba Fett, but seeing him as a little annoying brat kid makes his death all the more sweeter later on.

Lucas kinda wrecked the character altogether. I once beleived the Slapstick Sarlecc Pit was the lamest way for Boba to die, but now, after Lucas has demolished the character both with the PT and the re-dubs of the OT, that crappy death is fitting, for a crappy character.

*sigh*

SithSpy
I think it shoulda been somewhat like the way jango got that beast with his blaster in the arena except with Solo, Like Boba catches han by suprise and he jumps to the side to avoid boba's blaster shot and returns one right in his throat

zombieman
Boba Fett did little to endear me, I never got what all the fuss about him was. I think his mediocre death was quite appropriate.

TIE-Hunter21
Personaly i would have Bobba die tin the battle of endor in slave 1 dueling Wedge, but's thats just me
