Star Wars: Return of the Jedi- Boba Fett Enters & Escapes Sarlacc Pit

[@102-d7i]

[@eyeseer1]

George Lucas himself didn’t realize how popular Boba Fett was until he fell into the Sarlacc pit.

George Did say he was gonna show Boba escaping in the special edition of return of the Jedi but it didn’t happen. I feel it would have been shown during the ending celebration when all the planets are celebrating the death of the emperor. There would have been a quick shot of Boba pulling himself out of the sand. Or maybe he’d have been in the crowd shot, still covered in dirt and mucus.

I love how Luke barely even considers Boba a threat in RotJ. He cuts his gun in half and is like "well, that's him sorted" and then starts asking Han and Chewie if they're okay while Boba is stood right there. Then when Boba uses his cable, Luke seems genuinely surprised, he's like "what, this guy again?", cuts the rope, and then proceeds to target a completely different skiff after Boba fell over. Luke gave him multiple opportunities to back off and he didn't - if he'd have stayed down, Han wouldn't have accidentally hit him. It explains why he's more cautious and less aggressive in season 1 of The Book of Boba Fett, he's had first-hand experience of his own hubris leading to his downfall

[@vintvarner16]

Lol...right...Luke watches him fly to the skiff like "really?" I know it's un Jedi like but Luke could have said "That's for Bespin, bitch"..lol

I understand why they didn’t do it in ROTJ, because the story had to go the way we all know and love. But you’d think from what we’ve seen in more recent things that Boba wouldn’t have gone down there at all. 0:01 , 0:06 and 0:25 He was facing what he knew was a Jedi. He should have shot his jet pack missile at the platform speeder, not gone down to it directly. But of course then, he probably would’ve blown up in Jabba’s yacht. So Han actually saved Boba in the long run. The Force works in mysterious ways. This is a cool escape. 0:52 , 1:24 and 1:48

[@cneddy22]

George Lucas said he thought about including a scene where he crawled out but at that point Boba was just another minion and he didn't know how popular the character would become

[@SleepyMook]

I think what’s a bit disappointing is that in the original script for ROTJ Boba was actually supposed to be the main villain but they decided to relegate him to a side character because they wanted to end the films on a trilogy which was understandable.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

He His only purpose to the story was to capture Han Solo and bring him to Jabba the Hutt. After that, we needed to see Han Solo get his "revenge" so he was killed off comedically. No one at the time thought, "That wasn't bad ass enough." and then we assumed he was dead and didn't care anymore. It wasn't his story it was Luke Skywalker's story. But of course, some Star Wars fans aren't satisfied with minor characters remaining minor characters (and remaining dead) so now no one dies and everyone just climbs into a bacta tank and is resurrected.

The coolest intro in any Star Wars series

[@jasonheath7045]

I expected the escape to be a lot more terrifying, cause I'm sure the sarlacc has many tentacles that restrained its victims, keeping them alive for thousands of years to suffer, if this is it then I'm sure many of the victims would be trying to escape, I expected Boba to still be awake and see many of those who fell in, not just 1 stormtrooper. I've heard those who've been inside the sarlacc for long periods of time become fused to the walls and if they're removed they will die instantly, though I'm not sure if this is true.

[@Tascioni49]

Well, the thing is the sarlacc has multiple stomachs or chambers, so that kinda justifies why he only saw one stormtrooper (but probably producers just wanted to save money). Boba's armor protected him from being assimilated, that's why he survived. And yes, the victims inside are stored as living nutrients and die if you cut their connection with the sarlacc. You can check wookiepedia for more info with sources.

[@senatorarmstrong8960]

Sarlacc feeds off the nutrients, Boba survived mainly because of his Beskar armor.

[@Assassino275]

It's true, they just chose not to do it. One of my biggest disappointments

[@angelp8900]

The truth is that it doesn't make much sense that a living being in order to feed itself has to feed its food to keep it alive. The stormtrooper seems to be dead, so that the Sarlaac keeps his victims alive for a thousand years, apart from being biologically impossible, seems more like a local legend.

"Boba Fett fell into the Sarlacc's acid-filled stomach. However, unlike the stomach acid of other creatures, the acid was less aggressive, since the prey was not supposed to be killed and digested immediately, but the creature wanted to feed on it for a long time. This meant that the Sarlacc's special metabolism was designed to keep its prey alive for as long as possible. To accomplish this, the sarlacc pierced Boba Fett's body, particularly the arm and leg muscles, with tentacles that both pinned him to the stomach wall and penetrated deep into the body, flooding him with toxins and paralytics in an attempt to escape impede. Boba spent most of his time in a semi-drowsy state while the liquids pumped into him by the sarlacc kept him alive. The acid had dissolved most of his armor and then etched away the top layer of skin all over his body. In agony and pain, Boba hoped for imminent death after days in the Sarlacc's stomach, but then pulled together his will to survive one last time and managed to detonate his jet pack as an explosive device that had survived the aggressive acids. The blast ruptured the animal's stomach and caused Boba to be spat out. He landed in the hot desert sands of Tatooine at the edge of the Carkoon Pit, where his blood - due to missing skin and severe injuries - ran freely into the desert sands. Naked except for a few pieces of armor clinging to his burned body, he was vulnerable to the planet's two suns. As he surrendered to dying and began to experience the ease that came with it, he saw a shadow fall over him. Although unaware of this, he croaked "Help" and was shortly thereafter thrown over his shoulder and carried away by a person: Dengar and Manaroo had the scene after Dengar recovered from his injuries from the "Teeth of Tatooine". of the fight to look for something useful and discovered Fett's body in the process. Manaroo had urged Dengar to help the wounded man, so they took him to Dengar's hideout.

@@jimguppy7204 well it looks like he burned the inside of the stomach so he could’ve burned those things off. And while burrowing out the sarlacc could’ve tried grabbing him and taken some gear off of him

[@nahor88]

It thematically makes sense as well though... he shedded the parts of him that earmarked his career as a Bounty Hunter, especially the wookie braids. I know it's not officially canon, but I like to think he got so full of himself being the one that delivered Han to Jabba, that he decided to let loose in the palace and get crunk. He then had to fight Luke while battling a major hangover, and gets knocked into the Sarlaac by a blind man. All of this was done in service of being a mercenary, and it was time to move on.

You just have to use some imagination. The other bodies were in there somewhere but Boba could probably see only so far. As far as the storm trooper. It could have been some random scout walking through a sandstorm and fell in.

[@hayleyyeager8008]

Boba’s escape from the Sarlacc is a little different in the Legends Universe’s comic book series Dark Empire, which is set years after the events of Return of the Jedi. In 1995, a short story was released in the Tales from Jabba's Palace anthology. That story is titled "A Barve Like That: The Tale of Boba Fett" and it was written by J. D. Montgomery. In that story, Boba Fett is immobilized in the Sarlacc and his armor was heavily damaged by the creature's digestive system. Boba then finds himself able to make a telepathic connection with Susejo, who is one of the Sarlacc's earliest victims. Susejo’s consciousness had fused with the creature and Boba learns that Susejo can exert some control over the Sarlacc. “He goads Susejo, making the Sarlacc contract around his jetpack. The resulting explosion frees the bounty hunter from the Sarlacc's grasp. He then fires concussion grenades into the wall of the beast, blowing a hole in its interior. Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc, which like him is badly injured but still alive.”

[@Bexebeche]

@doctahwahwee2237 It is said in Return of the Jedi that sarlacc can digest its victim for thousands of years. How? Space magic.

[@Bexebeche]

Escape in that short story was epic. This one looks easy.

I sure would to know how a Stormtrooper ended up inside the Sarlacc and how long the guy was in there if it was before the events of Return of the Jedi.
