Well it's not really EU that he lives. George wanted him to crawl outta that thing in the movie, so I think it should show that. He is one of the most popular Star Wars characters of all time & I just think many fans would be greatly dissapointed if he was simply removed from the whole movie. Maybe he could just be removed from the sail barge scene if at all. I just hope he's shown escaping it but that would mean he would have to fall into it a better way as well. That's just how I feel & think most others feel about this character. Don't take me for a Boba fett fanboy though, lol.

I Am a Boba Fett fanboy!!! I was Boba Fett for Hallowen from 1984-1988 (and my costume was hommade!). But I'm happy with his roles in the movie, which is that of a minor villain who does what's needed to advance the story, looks cool, and dies quickly (hmmmm... a lot like Darth Maul).

I for one don't buy Lucas's "I meant for Fett to live" line anymore that I buy his "I always meant for the six films to be about Darth Vader" line. He's a visionary filmmaker, but something of a fibber.
