I haven't seen this brought up yet so I thought I'd chime in.
Vader only refers to Boba Fett as "bounty hunter", which then seems odd after Fett's character is built up due to popularity.
Any chance that Vader could refer to him by name?
With all due respect, that would be pointless. The movies should not be tailored simply to provide fan service for popular characters.
I hear what you're saying there, but I was talking more about the stature of the character himself.
I realize that much of it was decided in the EU, but Fett is often regarded as "the best bounty hunter..." blah, blah and so on. I don't really see the character that way anymore, but it's a common refrain.
Part of what bothers me about the possibility of Boba not being in ROTJ is that not a single character would even refer to him by name. If Vader himself said it than it would be a more than fair trade-off and I'd be totally on board with the Jedi deletion.
I also understand the idea that Vader looks down on him, but even if you consider Vader himself here he sounds lame saying "bounty hunter" two different times.
I don't know. Guess I can dream.
