I haven't seen this brought up yet so I thought I'd chime in.

Vader only refers to Boba Fett as "bounty hunter", which then seems odd after Fett's character is built up due to popularity.

Any chance that Vader could refer to him by name?

Where could you find Vader/JEJ saying those lines?

 Eh, I figured it would be a matter of vocoder work.

As for the discussion of Fett's back story, yeah, Lucas killed teh "mystery man".

It's the same character, it's just certain people's attachment to their vision of him that's the problem.

Here's food for thought: When there was a poll on BobaFett.com years ago, the majority of people said they felt the same way about Boba after Ep II.

With all due respect, that would be pointless. The movies should not be tailored simply to provide fan service for popular characters.

 I hear what you're saying there, but I was talking more about the stature of the character himself.

I realize that much of it was decided in the EU, but Fett is often regarded as "the best bounty hunter..." blah, blah and so on. I don't really see the character that way anymore, but it's a common refrain.

Part of what bothers me about the possibility of Boba not being in ROTJ is that not a single character would even refer to him by name. If Vader himself said it than it would be a more than fair trade-off and I'd be totally on board with the Jedi deletion.

I also understand the idea that Vader looks down on him, but even if you consider Vader himself here he sounds lame saying "bounty hunter" two different times.

I don't know. Guess I can dream. 

noob 2 cents here:

I'm very much behind the idea of having Dagobah early in the movie with the premise of Luke continuing his training. Spence did this over at FanEdit and I think it works well. 

Elsewhere, I like to think of myself as a bit of an authority on Boba Fett *cough* and my position is Semi-Fett; that is, he would be ok in Jabba's Palace but he should not be on the sail barge. The character, aside from the added SE crap, was very much like his ESB persona in the palace. After that he becomes stupid.

It also makes sense for him to be alongside Jabba for potential work but he shouldn't involve himself that much (especially if you consider what happened to Jango).

What I'm really, firmly against is having Fett involved in some subplot that gets shoehorned in. That's just wrong on a few levels.
