Fett’s silly death is pretty in keeping with the tone of the ST, actually.
Eh, I’d rather not less the ST’s tone detract from one of the OT’s better action scenes. Besides, eliminating Fett in Jedi adds to his mystery in Empire. He’s a cool guy who now doesn’t get exposed for being a dummy!
The side benefit is that the force kick is now also gone unless you want to paint Fett out of the shot.
