In ROTJ, how did Boba turn on/off his jet-pak during the fight at the pit of carkoon?

Cause come to think of it, I never seen him flik any type of switch on or off or anything. He just put his right hand up and it turned on by itself and he was off, airborne. And when he was in mid-air, just before he landed in front of Luke, the jet-pak turned off by itself without any indication that he had phisically turned it off. Does he have switches on his gloves maybe?

What's with all the question threads always? These aren't really topics in wich we can discuss stuff. Have you even tried to find the answer, FistOfThe North?

According to some EU book, Fett has a tongue-switch in his helmet. This feature enables the Mandalorians to suprise their foe by launching in the middle of combat while still shooting at them.

It was described in "Boba Fett's Tale" in the "Jabba's Palace Anthologies". When he was entangled in the Sarlacc's tentacles he atempted to ignite with the helmet's tongue-switch (his arms were tangled), but the damn thing stalled. The same thing happened to Jango in the arena. According to most books I've read, Mandalorian jetpacs are pretty sensitve and malfunction at the worst possible times.

here's a little FYI: the Sarlacc had some Force sensitivity, cuz she ate a Jedi about 400 years before ROTJ. She told this to Boba in that same book.

That's pretty stupid EU.. Yeah, some jedi comes by Tatooine and falls in the sarlacc and because he was still chewing on him the sarlacc became force sensitive.
What next? Sarlacc tentacles weilding lightsabers?
