I've tried to read several SW books but never made it far because, honestly, I
just haven't found any to be well-written. Just MO, of course. I've heard
about how Boba Fett made it out of the Sarlaac Pit, and it seems reasonable
that
he should have been able to . . . I just wish that the books didn't have to
reinvent what Lucas should have done himself in the movie. I'm not suggesting
that Boba Fett should have been a major plot focus of the movie, but once you
have developed such an intriguing character . . . treat him with a little more
respect . . . the jet pack incident was a really weak way for him to go. Treat
the fans with a little more respect! I was 9 when ROTJ came out, and I don't
remember any other 9 year-old who didn't love Boba Fett. It was a real
disappointment to see him dispatched so quickly, and for no other reason than a
lack of imagination, creativity, or care on the part of the powers-that-be.
Ok.
That's my soapbox for the day.
