In fact, in another piece of EU that occurs between ESB and ROTJ, the kid (who turns out was alive after all) tries to edge in on the 'Boba' we all know and love... the now adult kid paints up an old Mandalorian armor to look like 'Boba' and decides to go to Jabba's palace. Jabba, who doesn't understand why 'Boba' is back after getting paid off for bringing Han in, let's him hang out... the adult kid ends up getting into a skirmish that he didn't expect though when Luke arrives and ends up dying comically when he realizes he doesn't even really know how to use his own equipment. Later, the 'Boba' we all know hears about all of this, has a good laugh and continues to do his work with much of the SW gangster world thinking he is dead!
