All you have to do is show Slave 1 lifting off and flying away behind the sail barges as they approach us in their first shot. Then all you would have to do is edit out all Boba scenes in and around the sail barge. Later on, you show Boba in the shadows right before the meeting (say handing something off to Mrs. President), maybe even show the Slave 1 flying out one side of the main hanger (say on the port side of the capital ship or out of another hanger) as the Falcon approaches, so Han and Fett just miss each other.

Hell, for that matter, you don't even have to do the second half on the rebel cruiser - just showing Fett leave would allow his character to escape with some dignity, which is really what a lot of us Boba Fett fans want.

You'd need to have a bit more in there to get the double dealing across it doesn't have to be the full conversation and I imagine there is enough James Earl Jones material out there to spin something suitable.

Boba needn't say anything or maybe just repeat (perhaps with a bit of Ady style tweaking) a reprise of his "As you wish" from ESB.

It underlines that he will work for anyone and doesn't care what happens to his clients after he has finished the job.

I understand where you're coming from (as well as giving Boba something to actually DO); I'm just saying all you HAVE to do to give Boba some dignity is show him leaving in the distance during the sail barge scene and edit him out of the following scenes. Whether he does any dealings with the rebels or not can go either way, but that in the least would keep him from being Sarlacc chowder.

If one WERE to do the "dealings with the rebels" bit, also remember that you have the Christmas Special dialogue that can be used as well (especially in regards to Boba speaking with Vader).
