    sorry if this has been discussed before.. i searched for it but didnt find any results so yeah..

    after Leia (who at that time is disguised as a bounty hunter) turns over Chewie to Jabba's men and starts a conversation with Threepio, the camera focuses on Boba Fett who nods his head.

    What do you think about this? Do you think his nod was directed towards Leia (disguised)?

    I think it was a gesture of respect to a fellow bounty hunter who accomplished an almost impossible task of capturing the mighty Chewbacca

    Thoughts?

    I think it means "Something's fishy... I've got my eye on you, buddy."


    Rick McCallum loves you!

    Boba Fett is acknowledging the great feat of capturing Chewbacca. It would a person of great skill to capture Chewie.

    I agree with y'all and the maybe the fact that Boushh didn't cower to Jabba's offer.

    I think he saw through Leai's deisguise, and was goin' "Dang, you're hot! Oh yeah, baby, I'm talking to you." [nods and cocks eybrows under helmet.]

    LOL^

    I'd agree with the "There's something fishy here, I've got my eye on you."

    Notice the giant trap a few scenes later.

    He's showing his respect to a fellow bounty hunter for both capturing Chewbacca and facing down Jabba.

    SLIMYBUG, I'm with you, I think he did see trough her disquise and thought she looked EXTREMELY HOTTT and SEXXXY. I bet he is the one that told Jabba she should wear the slave girl outfit. I give Boba way more respect now, knowing he is responsible for the best outfit in the series. Hats off to you Boba, You're my new best friend. 8D

    LMFAO!!! I couldn't have said it better.

    I too think it was a gesture of acknowledgement of respect an' all that. And also a gesture of wariness. But in the end, retrospectively, we need all the footage of Boba we can get, since his 'dad' was a main character in the prequels.

    Finally, I think it also means "You captured that nuclear dog monkey thing and you're a suicidal lunatic. I like you." (;

    Maybe he's like "I caught Han you caught Chewie, let's make it baby yeah"

    Naw it's out of respect...that's how the gangster life is.

    I've always thought it to be a sign of respect toward another bounty hunter.

    Interesting...I mean, the next scene we see in the palace IS everyone taking a nap. Maybe dozing off and thinking "bah, I could be asleep right now if this nerf herder hadn't brought in the big ape so late!"

    He's saying "Good job" while thinking "You think your stupid trick is working, but I can see right through you, Chewbacca, and that idiot Calrissian, do you really think no one would notice him????!!!"

    I change my vote. To the quote above. Seriously. It never occurred to me that Boba was spoiling for a proper fight. I know, I call myself a fan, but in all seriousness... that's why he was withholding the info from Jabba. I see that now. Damnit. Wait...what were we talking about? ;)
