Did Boba Fett die?

Er, how does Greedo shooting Han first in one movie contradict that he didn't in another? WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? They're different movies! Then, in the same mindset...

-ANH contradicts itself again. Jabba wasn't there originally, and now he is!

-In ROTJ the sarlacc originally didn't have a beak and now it does! OMG! George! How could you so pitifully contradict yourself? *rolls eyes*

I mean, dude, those aren't *contradictions*, they're *changes*! Hello? Sorry, I found that Greedo comment extremely funny.

Oh, and thanks for Fierce for so easily discarding those points- you saved me a lot of typing.

In EU, no, Boba didn't die. In the original scripts, yes he did. So what you said was true. From a certain point of view. Keep your point of view, and we'll keep ours. Fair?

 

Lucas added the new scenes because they were to be there originally.

 

<<That means he likely just approved Fett being allowed to return without liking it or particularly caring.>>

Thanks CA, you just helped prove my point. GL is the final word. If he approved Boba being alive, he's alive. It doesn't matter whether or not he likes it, or even cares. If GL says it is so, it is so.

 

The question is moot. He lives only EU. It was a pretty cool escape. He's dead in OT and there will be no sequels to resurrect him or a reasonable facsimile of him.

 

EH!

 

Hmm. Sorted, hm?

 

hm?

 

''He's alive in EU, OT he's dead'' While the EU says Fett lived/lives that doesn't mean it makes sense. I don't hate the EU I just don't think they should bring back dead characters to sell books and comics. I also think it's crazy that they ''bring back to life'' a character because they say he was so popular. Then I read where some dopey author says ''I have a good idea, I'll kill off Chewbacca''(rather cheesily I might add) CHEWBACCA! Is someone that supports the EU gonna honestly say Boba Fett is more popular than Chewbacca? I'll ask this question one more time, What makes Boba Fett so freakin' special, what has he done that warrents such devotion?

 

"Another thing is that you never see boba die. He is sent down the throat of an animal who dont kill the prey Just digesting it.
So there are a posibility to escape from it.
When Han and the gang could walk around in the stomach of a animal than fly out the mouth There is a slight poibility that Boba could get out alive"

Still doesn't answer my question. If we don't see the Emperor dying(which we don't; all we see is him falling down a long shaft and then an explosion. Surely a Sith master could float down and create a fake explosion to give the illusion of death), did he really die? According to your interpretation of Boba Fett's nice little trip into the belly of the Sarlaac, Palpatine doesn't die either...

 

And Palpatine comes back 6 years later, as a clone.

But the thing is, they don't allow just anything to go into the EU. The author has to be invited to write, and they are given loose guidelines as to what they can or can't say. For example, in Zahn's first trilogy, Lucas said he couldn't bring back any characters that were killed off in the trilogy. Zahn also wanted to make C'baoth an insane clone of Obi-Wan, but Lucas No-Noed it. Zahn also couldn't delve too deeply into the Clone Wars and Old Republic politics.

 

Those crazy EU writers, what will they think of next...

 

KaaShamau, do yourself a favor, never read The Crystal Star
On second thought, that one goes for all of you

Edit: Grammar

 

I have a question. It is possible for people to let others enjoy the EU simply because they enjoy reading, or have active imaginations? I guess not. Instead you have to sit there and tell them that what they do sucks. How do all of you feel when someone tells you that Star Wars sucks? That is how the EU people feel. It's a matter of opinion. Don't call the people who like EU idiots because of a hobby. Next time an EU basher says they like something, maybe everyone should jump on their ass and tell them it sucks. Think about it.
You can disagree, but do you have to attack people? I think not.

 

"<<That means he likely just approved Fett being allowed to return without liking it or particularly caring.>>

No Karrde, you missed my point. Lucas approving Fett's 'return' doesn't mean that he's tacitly saying that Fett escaped the Sarlacc and is alive whatsoever. It simply means that he gave the writers the freedom to put Fett in Dark Empire. It doesn't mean that Fett actually is alive in Lucas's mind or anyone else's.

 

Can anyone here say that Boba Fett is absolutely dead/alive? Think about this for a second. No one but Lucas can say that sort of stuff, and since he isn't talking, we will have to accept that the OT and the EU contradict each other sometimes.

 

Here, here!!

 

I am sure the EU is fine reading, but I don't like them tampering with the major and minor characters of the OT. Does anyone really know if Fett is alive or dead? yes, we do. Boba was a light snack for the Sarlacc. And if you recall the Sarlacc burped, proving Fett gave it gas and indegestion. Let's forget EU vs.OT for a minute, why do guys cling to the idea that Boba Fett is alive? When clearly he is not.

 

obviously, Boba Fett is dead. However, I voted yes because I find it insulting to the saga that the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter was killed by a blind man whose weapon was a stick in what was the most revolting piece of slapstick comedy in the saga. Viva la Fett!

 

I didn't read this whole thread through, but I believe Lucas once said that he disliked Boba Fett and that is why he was killed off so quickly and easily in ROTJ

 

Where in the movie Return of the Jedi does it say Boba Fett is dead? I've watched it countless times and at no point does anyone say that Boba Fett is dead.

 

Where in ROTJ does it say Boba Fett is dead? Can you name any other people or characters that have survived a fall into the belly of the Sarlacc? C'mon, is that how weak your arguement is, that you have to say no where in ROTJ does it say Boba Fett is dead? Where in the OT does it say Chewbacca is dead, he was killed off in the EU. Give me a break. It is clear that the EU lovers are getting desperate because their arguements are getting weaker and more absurd.
