C3PO: "Uh, the mighty Jabba asks why he must pay fifty thousand."
Bounty Hunter Boushh (in Ubese): "A yuttoh!"
C3PO: "Because he's holding a THERMAL DETONATOR!!!!"

The guards instantly back away, as do most of the other monsters in the room. Jabba stares at the silver ball, which begins to glow in the bounty hunter's hand. The room has fallen into a tense hush. Jabba stares at the bounty hunter malevolently until a sly grin creeps across his vast mouth and he begins to laugh.

Jabba (in Huttese): This bounty hunter is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive.

C3PO: Jabba offers the sum of thirty-five. And I suggest you take it.

There is a pause and then Boushh releases a switch on the thermal detonator and it goes dead.

Boushh (in Ubese): "Yuttoh Cha"

C3PO: He agrees!

The silent crowd breaks out in cheers and applause as the party returns returns to normal. Boushh surveys the scene while speaking to C3PO, his gaze stopping only when it connects with a glare from across the room. Boba Fett is watching him. Boushh shifts slightly, cradling his weapon lovingly. Boba Fett with equal arrogance gives Boushh a nod of ominous acknowledgment.

This is my favorite scene out of all the Star Wars films. Why? because Boba Fett is my favorite character. "What does this scene have to do with Boba Fett?" I hear you ask. Well, while all the courtiers have fallen into a flap, Boba Fett doesn't duck or weave out of the way. He raises is blaster in readiness, assesses the situation then lowers his weapon again. He isn't phased in the least, and this scene, to me, defines his character completely.

He is a bounty hunter of few words and fewer scenes, but given he's still alive at this point in the film, must be fairly good at what he does. Yeah, OK.. he did help out Darth Vadar in capturing Han Solo, but he was just doing his job.

We don't get to see much about Boba Fett's life, other than he's the son of Jango Fett (who is killed by Obiwan). As Boba also became a bounty hunter it's safe to say he followed in his fathers footsteps. But like all bounty hunters who live by the blaster, he dies by the... Well actually he doesn't die by the blaster.

Unfortunately, his jet pack is damaged in the fight with Luke over the Dune Sea. He hits the side of Jabba's sand barge and falls into the pit of Carkoon, and the waiting jaws of the all-powerful Sarlacc, where he's digested over a thousand years. Not a nice way to go.

He's a crafty bugger, and given his cunning and craftiness, I like to think he got out.

On the next turn of the wheel, I'd like to be Boba Fett.
