Fettered
Hunter
I watched Star Wars and Empire on blu ray this weekend and I have to say that, ignoring some of the changes that have been made over the years, I really was impressed with picture quality. I'd never seen a blu ray film that I knew really well, so I have always had little basis for comparison. I enjoyed this very much, and found myself spotting new things here and there as a consequence, perhaps because of the quality, or perhaps due to looking at it critically again.
At any rate, something I had never noticed before was the presence of the Zuckuss suit prop laying amongst the junk when Chewie is gathering up C3PO in Bespin. I Had seen the IG-88 before, but sort of chalked that up to droids being mass produced. Zuckuss is screen right of the two Ugnauhts. I realize that what likely was going on is that the film makers were just using whatever junk they had that looked good for the scene, but for me it does beg another question...
Now, I've never been one to follow the EU very closely at all, but I am at least aware of some of the accepted lore. So, I pose the question, have there ever been any interpretations that have Boba Fett taking out the other bounty hunters in Bespin? He obviously tracked the Falcon alone, but equally obviously alerted the Empire, or at least Vader, making it somewhat plausible the other bounty hunters might find out and try to steal the bounty.
Again, I'm not well-versed in EU lore, partially because I find some of it to be silly and not in concert with how I see the films, but this has me thinking about off-screen activity. Any thoughts?
