A separate and probably unrealistic idea I once had included filming Fett crashing in the sand instead of into the sail barge. We would see him regaining consciousness just before the explosion of the sail barge, and then see him take off in Slave I after Luke and the Falcon part ways. He then shows up in the Battle of Endor, intending to take out the Falcon, but Lando outpilots him while his gunners ultimately take out Slave I. Again, I doubt it would work, but it was an interesting idea to me.

The problem is that he’s ineffective in both battles.

However, I think it’s a good idea to have him land in the sand, since he’s positioned towards Luke (and the sand) up until Luke’s infamous Force Kick where he’s seen flying at the barge at almost a right angle to Luke.
Force Fail
It would be a task of deleting Boba from that shot and instead having either a double or a CG Boba flying above the poor kicked guy towards the camera and out of frame to the left. While you’re at it, reposition Luke or the guy so that his kick actually lands.

JEDIT: Just had another idea. At the end of the infamous shot, Luke leaps down with his lightsaber in a downswing, but it doesn’t connect with anyone as usual. What if Boba flew headfirst into that downswing, and the next shot wasn’t him slamming into the barge but his head hitting the deck of the skiff? Then the next shot could still be his body (now headless) rolling down the slope into the pit.

It’s like poetry. Brutal, murderous poetry 😉
