Forum:SH Archive/Boba Fett Fanon

So myself and others noticed that in the Boba Fett entry under Behind the scenes it says

"George Lucas stated in the audio commentary of Return of the Jedi that he added a shot of Boba Fett crawling out of the Sarlacc, which Fett does, stating that the character survived, he managed to blast himself out, killing the Sarlacc in the process."

This is 100% untrue what George actually says is this

"In the case of Boba Fett's death, had I known he was gonna turn into such a popular character, I probably would've made it a little bit more exciting. Boba Fett was just another one of the minions, another one of the bounty hunters and badguys. But, he became such a favorite of everybody's that, for having such a small part, uh he had a very large presence. And now that his history has been told in the first trilogy, y'know, it makes it even more of a misstep that we wouldn't make more out of the event of his defeat, because most people don't believe he died anyway. I'd contemplated putting in that extra shot in where he climbs out of the hole, but y'know I figure that's . . . it doesn't quite fit, in the end."

Big difference between the two. In the actual quote he doesn't say anything about Boba Fett killing the Sarlac nor did he ever actually film the scene he only talked about giving Boba Fett one of two things

1. A more Glorious death

2. possibly letting him survive.

However it looks like he says letting Boba Fett survive wouldn't fit.

So can we get Boba Fett's page fixed to remove the very clear Fanon. --76.101.173.241 00:58, April 21, 2012 (UTC) Darth Jon
