Looks like Lucas considered it. Sure enough, I never noticed it before. There is a lightsaber slash across the middle of Boba’s Jet Pack when Han bumps it with his stick-

Yes. Exactly. I recalled that from sometime back, from a storyboard book some some years ago - so the idea is not mine, but something Lucas originally drafted and would be more fitting. In fact, I wonder if part of that scene as originally storyboarded was filmed. Chewey falls on top of Han in the actual film and Han says “Chewey, you hit?” which would fit the original storyboard of Fett shooting Chewey first before turning his blaster on Luke - who then proceeds to then cut the blaster in half. Luke then cuts off Fetts arm after cutting the rope Fett shoots around him before slashing the jet pack. Not sure when they decided to change the scene, but my guess is that may have been done on set for the ‘joke’.
