A very interesting comment Adywan has just recently made on his EMPIRE:R thread is this -

The whole skiff battle will have some re-edits done to it, and I want to change Boba's death if I actually keep him in the movie, but using Jango for footage just isn't an option.

Without Ady having to elaborate on his JEDI:R edit too much at this point, with this open-ended acknowledgement, it seems he plans to do something to change the existing scene. 

While I'm not sure yet if I prefer the idea of no Boba in JEDI, as opposed to a better-edited version which includes him (i.e. perhaps without the ridiculous screaming and less 'flailing' arms and legs when his jetpack is set off by Han, and without a 'burping' Sarlacc), I'm just pleased at this point that Adywan will be improving things somewhat from the way things currently are, no matter what he prefers to do.

Personally, I always wished that the great character of Boba Fett had originally been given some sort of possible reprieve in JEDI, and would have liked him not to be shown to fall into the Sarlacc's mouth at all after he crashed into the side of Jabba's Sail Barge (or at least have exited thanks to his jetpack just after), but had instead been then glimpsed being caught up somewhat in the Barge explosion blast as our heroes escape on their skiff...with a question mark about whether he may have barely survived (although taking a good blast) by flying outwards just in time...
