Hmm. Good call, although I remain unconvinced. The catalgue shot here clearly
isn't {Boba Fett minifig standing in front of the Slave I model with Boba Fett
in the Cockpit}, rather, it's {Boba Fett Minifig close up} overlayed on {Slave
I with Boba Fett in the cockpit}. In other words, the larger Boba Fett clearly
isn't standing in front of the Slave I model.
I remain unconvinced.

Because I'm hardly going to be disappointed either way? If it does turn out to
be Palpatine in the cockpit, I'll be surprised, but not crushed.
