I'm confused by the 'remove Boba' sentiment.

Excluding the EU, Boba was a minor, albiet cool looking, character in Empire, who acheived what he did by being clever and sneaky, not by being badass.


In Jedi he's hanging out at Jaba's opium den flirting with dames, (a SE addition i dig) and when some action goes down, he doesn't accomplish much except dying.

It's a minor comeupance for a minor villain. I dig it. A memorable goon who dies a memorable goon death.

The only niggle I have with Fett in ROTJ is that he's a bounty hunter not a bodyguard, so you'd think he'd be out there hunting some bounty instead of kicking his heels in Chez Jabba.

There again he could have been just dropping off or picking up orders and got caught up in drama of it all.

I'd still like him to have a more dignified end (I'm in the beheading camp myself Luke did it in a dream so it would make sense that he could do it reality, having blind Han tap him on the jet pack sending him off screaming like a jessy is such a let down).

It appears ChainsawAsh and I are not only singing from the similar hymn sheets but are almost in harmony.
