TheBoost said:Bingowings said:At least in this scenerio he is acting consistantly with his character (he is locating people or information for a price not just acting as a bodyguard for Jabba) as seen in ESB and actually moves the plot along so there is a slim possibility if the case is well made even he might run with the idea.
How is selling information as a secret agent double-dealing courier more in line with his character (which from ESB is a bounty hunter who barely speaks) than being the hired gun for a criminal he apparently already worked for?
Which seems more "in character": Delivering his target to the drug lord he works for, then hanging out at the drug lords palace until needed again, or delivering his target to the drug dealer he works for, then turning around, becoming a secret agent for the Empire, and pulling off an extremly elaborate piece of espionage?
A bounty hunter doesn't have to bring in his prey to claim the bounty (they can be hired just to trace them) in the described scenerio he is being hired to trace the movements of the Emperor by the Rebels and the Rebels by Vader (so he is being a bounty hunter).
The Death Star location is part of the information of where the Emperor will be.
His double-dealing nature was previously shown in ESB where he was paid both by Vader and Jabba for the same job (each employer having different motives for his employment).
He doesn't have to speak at all in this arrangement (he just has to be seen working in the background) so his role would be even more descrete than in ESB.
He takes the work and the pay, what happens to the individuals he is hired to trace (and how he manages to trace them) means nothing to him.
Boba Fett in ESB will work for anyone who pays him in ROTJ and ANH:SE he becomes just another lacky of Jabba (this reduces both the character and the universe he operates in).
