CT did boba fett die in the sarlac pit?

Well, it takes 1000 years for the Sarlac to digest you, so I guess his chances of survival are actually rather good.

 

AS far as Canon is concerned Yes for now anyways.

As far as I'm concerned Yes permanently.

As far as many fans and the EU (Legendsverse) is concerned, he is immortal, nobody and nothing can kill him

So really it is up to who you ask.

 

He died. George had to use a big chunk of credits to revive him for EU

 

He didn't die, only from a certain point of Lucas view when Boba Fett ceased to exist and became Boba Sarlacc or something like that.

I was told that Lucas last comment at a public event concerning the issue was that "all still aboard Jabba's sailing barge" were killed in its explosion. Since Fett wasn't on it when it blew, he was not killed...

 

I guess we know the fate of Bossk then. He was in the sail barge, as you can see him if you look close enough. Guess that means we won't see him post-Jedi.

Actually, we don't know Bossk's fate:

Looks to me as if Bossk could have been departing, perhaps he was picked up by a skiff flown by Dengar, who had just waited in the distance for the patrol skiff to be distracted. Wonder what these two might have been up to...

 

What skiff was being flown by Dengar?

 

I wrote "perhaps" didn't I?

Dengar was at Jabba's Palace as we can see several times in ROJ, but he is nowhere to be seen aboard Jabba's sailing barge.

We only have one picture of Bossk next to Boba Fett inside the Palace, but we see him (or his arms) for brief seconds aboard Jabba's sailing barge.

When Leia smashes the sailing barge controls, it could appear as if Bossk is leaving the barge. But how? Right below is the Sarlacc pit. He could have only escaped if someone would have picked him up.

The other skiff was constantly patrolling the area until all hell broke loose on the skiff with the convicted. The patrol skiff then immediately focused on Luke and company, somebody could have used this distraction to pick up Bossk from the sailing barge.

It's a theory, nothing more and nothing less. Either you accept that Bossk was probably just knocked out by a shutter window and died in the explosion of the barge or you can make a case that he probably survived. I chose the latter.

 

Maybe is one of Boba Fet children .

 

C-3PO even says it in the movie.
It's not like you automatically die when you fall in is it?
The jetpack is damaged but who knows what else Fett has in his armor?

 

He is experiencing new pain and suffering as the Sarlac slowly digests him over the course of a thousand years, as per C-3PO.

 

Not automatically killed, so he can still escape.

 

Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc Pit, it was confirmed by George Lucas.

 

Yup. he's as dead as the horse being beaten here. He always has been. This conversation has been going on for decades and eventually you arrive at the same answer.

 

Do you have a source for that claim? I am a pretty big Boba Fett nerd and i'm pretty sure he never said that.

 

On Dasher, on Prancer, on Jabba & Blitzen!

Hahahaha I just called Jody Foster an........

 

Boba Fett is Schrödinger's Cat of the Star Wars Universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

(or is that actually Darth Maul?)

Many articles have stated George Lucas to have said Boba Fett survived, many of them being reputable Star Wars websites. Disney have also made Fett's survival official as well: http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2015/...t-survived-the-sarlacc-in-return-of-the-jedi/

Furthermore, it was ALSO confirmed by Star Wars Celebration that Boba Fett survived: http://www.followingthenerd.com/mov...urvived-the-sarlaac-pit/#sthash.hRJwdTR1.dpbs

So basically, he's alive.

 

Boba Fett is a creative bounty hunter. Surely he has the survival skills to kill and eat whatever is in the pitt with him.

 

There are also many articles where he said Boba does die in ROTJ, and that he could not understand why he was so popular. There was one interview where he said had he known how popular Boba was going to be, he never would have killed him off.

 

The interviewer should have told Mr. Lucas that neither the screenplay or the onscreen footage was ever proof beyond doubt...

 

In my book, Boba does survive the Sarlacc. A cool bad guy like him shouldn't go out like that. Clumsy Han

 

And that's why he has now rectified his decision with Fett being alive. George Lucas is known to 'contradict' himself.

 

I don't see it as rectified, ROTJ was fine as it was and didn't need a fan fiction rewrite. Boba was a punk and went out as a punk, plus the SE version with the CGI beak makes escape all the more improbable, not to mention the sarlac burbs after digesting Boba. We could also say Jabba didn't die, he just passed out, General Grievous didn't die, he just had bad gas, Dooku didn't die, his head is on a cyborg body, the emperor didn't die, he landed on a platform and got away. Bringing back Maul and Boba after clearly meeting their demises on film reminds of how the classic Universal monsters films devolved. The monsters were always killed at the end of a film, only to be brought back in increasingly outlandish and ridiculous ways in each proceeding sequel of diminishing quality. Like how the Gill Man got a lung transplant in the third film or how werewolves are suddenly completely immortal despite the first film showing that they can and do die from silver weapons, etc.

IMHO you are really exaggerating. The examples you are listed are obvious and clear onscreen deaths. In the case of Boba Fett fact remains that we only saw him fall into creature with his gadgets mostly intact. And the film established that the Sarlacc doesn't instantly kill his victims.

If somebody prefers to believe that Boba Fett died, that's fine. If somebody prefers to believe he made it out of there, that's fine, too.

Either way, we don't have all the information to determine his fate without considerable doubt.
