I have also, usually to great laughter at my expense, proposed that Boba Fett was, if not the OTHER, at least a real good guy. Consider. 1) Boba Fett DOES backtalk Vader. He is the ONLY character, other than Luke and Obewan, who gets away with it, and the ONLY ONE who gets away whole. Furthermore, Vader agrees with Fett in much the same manner that the soldier in SWIV agrees with Obewan, which seems to mean that Fett somehow managed to dominate/charm Vader into the particular action. Why he saved Solo, then, is not clear, I must admit. 2) In all of the (2 so far) movies, the treatment of the character, as far as music and cinematography, has indicated the goodness/badness of the character. Fett, when taking off with Solo, flies off into a beautiful sunset, gracefully, with his ugly ship sillhouetted (sp, yes, I know) against the sunset so that it looks actually nice, and with HEROIC music, NOT heavy music. Seems a BIt strange. (This is what actually first caught my attention) 3) BF is mentioned as the person who can always find the man. Interesting, but not conclusive. 4) We already know that Leia has some sensitivity to the force, so her detection of a TRAINED and DESPERATE Luke doesn't make me that surprised. 5) When the disturbance in in the force is strong, Leia, Luke, and Fett are withing touching distance. Hmmmm. Colletively they can control Sharra, perhaps??? <Inside joke...> Why don't we all wait until next April and see for ourselves? P.S. Wasn't the quote "The Jedi does not CRAVE revenge." I have certainly gotten things that I do NOT crave.
