You know, Rob and Fab would've been cool to watch -- esp. with the casualities
they'd've taken during the battle. ;-)

Well... Before ROTJ was released, everyone and their dog was oohing and
aahing over Fett, based upon the few minutes he had on-screen in TESB and the
Christmas Special. Boba Fett just had this...charisma I guess, some dark
appeal for the teenage boy market. Lucas didn't like this affection over a
bad guy, so he purposefully scripted Fett's early death for ROTJ.
(Personally, I felt he could've spruced up Fett's character with all sorts of
ninja moves and sundry b-movie bad guy stuff, and let him linger until at
least half way through the movie, but that's just me.)
The extra Fett scenes in the Special Editions is Lucas' attempt at an apology,
after seeing how Fett's popularity could be translated into $$$. Seeing him
now prance around Jabba's palace during the music scene made me want to gag.
