Speculation Will (Insert Character Name Here) Be in Episode VII?

A spinoff would be fine with me too, as long as it takes place prior to ROTJ and not after it.

 

He's a gangster, gangsters deal with dangerous people. That is the nature of being a gangster. And what do we see in Jabba, we see a man who respects who he thinks is a bounty hunter threatening him with the Star Wars equivalent of a hand grenade, and he laughs it off as a matter of routine. This is a character who deals with dangerous people the way most people deal with the people in their office.

 

How is that two different things? If it's not plausible that he survived, he should not be in the sequels.

 

And of course, we're dealing with a guy who got punked out in the first place. That's how he ended up dead. If he was such a superman he wouldn't be in there

 

Since no one has posted this yet here, I'll repost this picture from a few months ago:



My feelings regarding Boba Fett in the new films are mixed. While I would be happy to see him in a spinoff film, either before or after RotJ (the latter only if it can be convincingly pulled off for the audience), I'd much prefer if they avoided him showing up in the ST because of the controversy it is bound to attract, as evidenced by the opinions throughout this thread. You either love the idea, or you loathe it, bottom line. I like Toonimator's idea that he would be retired and out of the way if he did in fact survive the Sarlacc like the EU states. That way he doesn't need to show up in the ST but EU fans can still be satisfied.

 

How much damage would a grenade do to a Hutt? Just wondering.
If he was going to throw someone into the pit wouldn't he make sure they were weaponless so less chance of something going wrong? Isn't that why R2 had the lightsaber? To sneak it in? The people he threw in didn't have jedi-like reflexes and a droid on the inside. Besides a Jedi is never helpless.

 

What does Luke's lightsaber have to do with Fett getting out? Luke isn't in there with him. Luke got away, Fett did not.

 

Yes, it is a matter of opinion. And that is what we are discussing here, our opinions about whether or not it's wise to bring this character back to the sequels. Obviously if you're like me and think it's hacky to bring him out of the pit, you don't feel like he should be in the sequels. Which is what this thread is asking of us/

 

Fett does have a high-tech suit full of weapons that should be able to help him escape the Sarlacc.

 

If they wanted Fett to survive, they should have shown us that. To bring him back now so many years after the fact is just hacky fan service, of the kind that they should really avoid.

 

Ah, I see what you're saying

 

Kinda hard to show us that since this is the 1st new thing after ROTJ in 30 years OOU. He isn't going to escape immediately or by the end of the movie. Might take him weeks or months.

 

I will say that it seemed more believable that he could survive before the Special Editions when they added the Little Shop of Horrors mouth to the Sarlacc.

 

It makes perfect sense, that's one of the reasons why I consider the EU it's own little separate thing. That's not a knock on the EU.

 

More discussion on bringing back deceased characters?


Please God, give us a NEW Star Wars movie.

 

This would be true if Fett was dead. He's just trapped. Not dead. No resurrections necessary.
