How would you have Boba Fett die

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

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

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.

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)

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

Just "bounty hunters socialising"?

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?"

Well Boba died in ROTJ end of him

And the way he went - nobody actually beat him.

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

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

what the hell is EU

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.

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. 😎

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

That's the only excuse you ever give. 😛

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.

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

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.
