That does make sense.

One thing I like about this idea is that it can be used in isolation, whether or not you restructured anything else in the Jabba sequence. And if you did keep Leia bringing in Chewbacca as a fake bounty hunter, all of the looks Boba gives Leia/Boushh during that scene could then be seen as Boba being suspicious and seeing through her disguise. So that night, he anticipated a rescue attempt. Plus, using the shot of Boba lowering his weapon, but playing it in reverse essentially creates a new shot, so you probably could use both versions of the shot without the reuse being super noticeable.

And I can understand people who preferred to remove Boba from the movie, but if he’s gonna be there, this could be a good alternative to actually add to his presence in the movie. And his death will be even more satisfying since he is the one responsible for foiling their escape.
