A jetpack that had been just smashed by a blind man with a metal spear causing it to malfunction.

Fett is dead.

 

Boba Fett survived. It's canon. The EU is canon.

 

The EU is lower-level canon than the films, but... the canon argument often ends up proving nothing one way or the other anyway. Can't believe it took this long to come up, though.

 

But there's nothing in the film to indicate that he could not have survived, which is why the EU storyline made sense.

 

It wasn't smashed, and it didn't malfunction. Han's spear hit the activation button, and Fett was unprepared for its sudden activation.

 

If it doesn't contradict what's shown in the films, it's perfectly valid. Now, if the EU showed Fett crawling out of the Sarlaac in the middle of the battle, then it'd pretty clearly be a contradiction and not valid. However, the EU shows Fett escaping days or maybe even as much as a week later (iirc, the timeline in the story is pretty vague) and therefore it doesn't contradict anything.

If Mr. Lucas wants to show Fett survived, a pretty simple way to do it would be to insert the Slave 1 taking off at the end of ROTJ during the Tattooine sequence, mirroring the insertion of the Outrider in ANH and the Moldy Crow in TPM.

 

A burp is rather ambiguous. Sometimes I burp although I haven't eaten for hours. Also, the burp could have been the result of someone else falling in before Fett. Fett could be dead, but we can't say for certain unless we saw him actually being digested, his breathing still, etc.

I'm in the Fett is alive camp -- he just had too many merc skills to die in such a ridiculous way.

 

Unless you're drinking a soda, you don't burp right away after ingesting something. So this means the Sarlacc's burp was caused by a previous meal, not Fett.

 

Fett could have knocked the gas loose...especially if he was still alive inside and squirming around...

 

1) I remember that comic, but I thought it was an Infinities storyline.

2) Oh gawd.... this argument JUST. WON'T. DIE.
(like Boba Fett)

 

Fett IS dead. But what else would you expect from a glorified Stormtrooper?

 

Nope; it's canon, although it's not actually Maul, according to leland, although that's pretty obviously the story's intent.

This simply comes down to whether or not you accept EU as part of the Canon universe. There is no official opinion on this, and there shouldn't be, in my opinion. Hell, there are people who completely ignore the prequels.

I say Boba Fett lived, because i want him to. I love him and he deserves a warrior's death. Not like he's gotten that in the EU, he's too much of a draw. But he definitely doesn't deserve to be a burp.

But if you're not a big fan of the Fett or simply don't like the EU, Boba Fett died. It's your choice, no reason to argue.

 

Not really...the reason the continuing saga of Boba Fett was possible is because one could reasonably construe that Fett could have survived the sarlac. Even if the novels hadn't been written, the possibility still exists.

 

GL says Fett is dead. So if you don't think Eu is canon he is dead.

 

Well, if LUCAS says Fett is dead, I guess I should throw away that action figure....

 

Hilarious.

TBH, I don't care that the EU brought back Fett, I do care that the writing was bad. His first appearance in DE was cool, but then it turned into a bad chase non-story. And the Fett trilogy, I don't have words about how boring that was.

 

Well Boba Fett was one of the original designs for Darth Vader, so it's easy to see why he would become a fan favorite.Lucas said in the ROTJ commentary that killing him off in that fashion was a mistake and I think everyone can agree on that.

He even escaped the sarlacc in one of those old Marvel Star Wars comics.

Lucas could just make a short scene of him escaping the sarlacc as an easter egg on the Bluray or something, it could easily be done with CG.

 

Fett is alive! He had the means to and it is said that Dengar saved him. No debate.

FETT LIVES!

 

I'd love to see a link to this somewhere.

The fact is Boba was killed off in one of films most ridiculous ways. I'd compare it to Steven Seagal in Executive Decision. Pretty damned pathetic for such an iconic figure. Because he was so immortalized (Boba) he needed to come back in the EU. It's believable that if he was to be digested over years, that he could find a way to survive for at least a couple days (in a small pocket in the stomach without being in the acids). Then of course he could blast himself out or burn the sarlacc with his various weapons. I like Boba... yes he died in the films. But I think the EU way of bringing him back was possible, and justified. The Emperor was just silly.

What would have worked better would have been a clone of Boba as opposed to him escaping. As he was a clone and many were made, it's possible one lived somewhere in the world, maybe even getting back to his roots of the Mandalorians. Maybe even working for another Hutt somewhere.
