Nah, they'd probably have acted like they'd been injured, but it would
really have been someone else.

That's interesting, especially considering the superultramegaheavy-duty
marketing push they gave Darth Maul, who likewise had about 2 lines and fell
into a pit. Hmm...

Possibly, but Fett really had very little to do with the story as a whole,
so there would have to have been significant alterations to the script to give
his character a larger useful role.

I'm afraid I agree. And what was with that stupid big-mouthed, big-toothed
singer they added? The CGI was terrible, at least as bad as that insipid
"Blarp" in Lost in Space. Every second that thing (the singer or Blarp) was
on-screen, the quality of the effect was sufficiently poor to distract from
the scene.
Dave!
