adywan said:ok i have to point out a HUGE problem with using any shots of Jango for Boba Fett in ROTJ. The two costumes are so different. For one it isn't just a case of recolouring the outfit but Bobas armour has a lot of damage on it whereas jangos looks brand new. Adding this texturing to Jangos costume is impossible. Not only that but if you look at the two photos you will see other differences. jango has 2 holsters and Boba has none. Boba has a cape and jango doesn't. They both use different weapons.The belt is different. Jango has leg & shin armour and boba has none. Different boots and probably more but i can't be bothered with spot the difference any more. lol
I certainly wouldn't advise adding Jango scenes to ROTJ to change the way Boba acts. As I've said before, I think Boba can be axed entirely, with little effect on the overall story aside from Han's measure of revenge (an act from which he receives no reward as Han doesn't realize what he has done).
As far as AOTC goes, depending on the re-working, the names "Jango" and "Boba" may be able to be removed, as well as the entirety of Jango's death. ( I use the word "may" as this "may" not be possible within the story's context.) Then it could be said AOTC Jango = OT Boba, just with a different suit. It is entirely feasable that a bounty hunter of Boba's caliber would alter/upgrade his armament over his long life. He even has a slightly different look as well as different weapons between ESB and ROTJ after a period of only six months has elapsed. And the argument that Boba would be too old by ESB is moot; plenty of alien species exist for hundreds of years in the Star Wars universe (wookiees, Yoda, etc.), so who's to say Boba isn't some long-lived humanoid alien as well? At no pint in the films are we told that Boba Fett is a human with a standard life expectancy of so many years.
The parallel is there in this configuration: Boba shows up in AOTC, kicks ass, then leaves. He's back in ESB, kicks ass, then leaves again. Watching the series in order, the viewer would see Boba enter in ESB and think the heroes are in real danger now, after we saw his victory in Ep II. It adds to the overall mystery and compelling nature of the character. Of course, this is working with what GL gave us in 2002. With a competent re-write, we could have gotten a more impactful Boba that could have crossed paths with major characters in a more satisfying way and made his appearance in ESB all the more threatening. Also, do we really need to see the face underneath the helmet? Keep the mystery, damnit! But I digress and return to the ESB:R topic at hand....
