Boba Fett and the end of Solo's Vibroaxe
So why does Boba Fett go out like a Slap Stick Episode of the Stooges..Almost accidently.. Sputtering into the Sarlacc Pit

Most of the Star Wars Villians have been amazing characters... They die awesome deaths in incredible duels..In Blaze of Glory in Grievous's case.
So why does Boba Fett meet the his glorious end at the hands of Blind Han's vibroaxe handle.

The notorious Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett..
A faceless enforcer, Boba Fett's distinctive armor strikes fear in the hearts of fugitives. He is a legendary bounty hunter, accepting warrants from both the Empire and the criminal underworld. He is all business, laconic, and deadly.
During the time of the Empire, Boba Fett emerged as the preeminent bounty hunter of the galaxy. Boba Fett's armor, like his father's, is a battered weapon-covered spacesuit equipped with a rocketpack. His gauntlets contain a flamethrower, and a whipcord lanyard launcher. His kneepads conceal rocket dart launchers. Several ominous braids hang from his shoulder -- trophies from fallen prey -- that underscore this hunter's lethality.

Solo, free of the carbonite and suffering blindness from hibernation sickness, wildly swung a vibro-ax into an inattentive Fett's rocketpack. The pack activated, and the bounty hunter soared into the air, out of control. The airborne Fett slammed into the side of Jabba's sail barge before tumbling into the Sarlacc's mouth. With a sickly belch from the desert creature, it seemed as if Fett's career as the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter was brought to an end.

I know BF survives the Sarlacc...
Fett's armor and body were extremely battered by his ordeal in the Sarlacc. When he plunged into the beast, he was kept alive by numerous fibrous suckers that attached themselves to his body. This was part of the Sarlacc's horrible metabolic process; it would keep its prey alive for thousands of years, all the while slowly feeding off it. Fett almost lost his identity in the swirling dementia brought about by the Sarlacc's toxins. His resolve held, and he used his weapons to blast free of the beast.

Naked, wounded, and defenseless on the sands of Tatooine, Fett was rescued by his fellow hunter Dengar, who nursed him back to health. Fett reclaimed his armor and his reputation, returning from the "dead," and again taking on bounties.


Jango Fett met his end in a duel with Jedi Master Windu.. When he dies it feels like a dagger through the heart..
Maul ends with an Epic Lightsaber Duel.
Anakin ends with an Epic Lightsaber Duel..
Qui Gon ends with an Epic Lightsaber Duel..
Mace ends with an Epic Lightsaber Duel..

I think Boba Fett had the edge on Luke Skywalker until the swing of the axe sets his rocketpack off.
When Boba Fett sputters down into the Pit..It is almost comical.. Ahhhhh!
What do you guys think?
Boba Fett deserves Better..
