The thing about Boba Fett's "death" to me is that it's just more silliness added to a movie that has way too much silliness in it as it is. (the belches and Tarzan yell are the worst offenders to me.) Sure, not every cool character has to go out in a 'blaze of glory', but blimey, I think that after he became the apotheosis of cool in ESB, he deserves more than getting hit by a blind man with a stick and yelling like a little girl as he bounces off the sail barge. ;)
