I don't "worship" Boba Fett, but you got to admit his armor is flippin' awesome. Most of us just hate the way Lucas made him, to quote Samuel Jackson, "Go out like a punk."

It establishes him as just another one of Jabba's bitches. It damaged his character in Jedi.

I never really got into the whole Boba Fett "thing," he is essentially a throw away villian, I don't see everyone worshipping Veers, Grievous, or that "you rebel scum" guy from ROTJ.

Then again, Wedge Antilles is one of my favorite characters.

Even though he chickened out?

Hey, you know very well that he couldn't do any more good back there.

I thought he died earlier in the NJO, at Sernpidal.

Anyways, he, like all the others, are truly dead, since this all happened "A long, long time ago...."

personally, I always wanted to see Han take on Fett . To me if Luke fought him, Luke would easily be able to kick Fett's butt because Luke is a Jedi and Fett is not. Saying Fett would have chance against Luke is like saying Han would have a chance against Vader.

What do you mean Han wouldn't have a chance against Vader?!?!?! I can see it all now...

(wavy dream sequence transition here)

Vader cuts down Obi-Wan.

LUKE: Noooooooo!!!

HAN: Get aboard the Falcon, kid... I'll handle this.

Han runs across landing bay shooting Stormtroopers left and right as he goes. Vader looks towards Han as blast doors begin to close. Han shoots controls of blast doors, causing them to re-open. By this time he has shot all the Stormtroopers in the hangar. Han holsters his blaster and faces Vader.

VADER: I do not know you. But prepare to die, insolent pup.

Han glances at a leather bantha-whip attached to his belt and stands at the ready. Vader begins to acrobatically twirl his lightsaber all around him. Han shoots a quick look towards Luke, then quickly grabs his blaster and fires one shot which cleanly hits Vader in the chestplate which explodes. Vader collapses next to the empty robes of Ben Kenobi. Han pauses, almost as if to grin, then turns and strides towards the Falcon.

LUKE: ....

HAN: C'mon kid. Let's just hope the old man got the tractor beam out of comission or else I'll have to go back and do it myself...

(more wavy end-of-dream transition)

According to an earlier draft of the script, in that scene Han was wearing some sort of spacey brown hat and a banthahide flight jacket.

I'm afraid GL systematically hunted down and destroyed all of the copies of this early draft.

Someone said he incorporated elements of this into something else of his, but I think he was full of BS.

"proof please."

Are you accusing Sessler or lying, or just too tired to do some research on your own.

80. SPACEPORT ALLEYWAY - GORDON - AQUILAE

General Skywalker embraces Han Solo, the underground contact. Han is a huge,
green skinned monster with no nose and large gills. - 1st draft


Quote
Luke is standing next to HAN SOLO, a young Corellian pirate only a few years older than himself. He is a burly-bearded but ruggedly handsome boy dressed in a gaudy array of flamboyant apparel. - 2nd draft


Quote
This is HAN SOLO, a tough James Dean style starpilot about twenty-five years old. A cowboy in a starship -- simple, sentimental and cocksure of himself. - 3rd draft


There are many aspects of SW that changed throughout the early drafts. This is why I laugh so much when people, including Lucas himself, claim that "Darth Vader" means "Dark Father". In the first draft, "Darth Vader" is just a general, rather than a Sith, with no children. Luke Skywalker is a 60 year old Jedi, and Annikin is the son of Kane. As such, there's no possible way that the name "Darth Vader" could refer to his parentage, since the parentage doesn't exist at the time the name was used.

In some of the early concepts for Darth Vader, he was suppose to be a rouge bounty hunter. This version of Vader was later turned into Boba Fett. Or at least that's what the official databank says.
