Return of The Jedi...Without Boba Fett?

What would it be like if Boba Fett wasn't in Return of The Jedi? Well, this video should answer your question. Using various techniques (edits, masking, etc.), I have removed Boba Fett from existence..well, in this movie anyway.

"Star Wars" copyright 1977 by LucasFilm
"Return of The Jedi" copyright 1983/1997 by LucasFilm
"Superman" is owned by DC Comics

THis idea has been floating around for a while, but I was encouraged to give it a real go by my pal DoubleOFive at the OT.com . Please keep in mind that it is just a workprint, and is not a 'final' product. If you have any weird or wacky idea idea(s) for a Star Wars edit (or any other movie for that matter), leave a message or comment.

Man this movie would of sucked without Fett. Nice edits by the way.

@MadWizard321 -- Thanx, man...and thanx for watching my crazy vids, too. :D

[SSWR1]

Nicely done! This would be easily doable-...I'm thinking for ROTJ:R. Even though my edit has Boba still in the palace, I think I'm now leaning towards removing him entirely...not sure yet. There's one or two shots that don't work...example: the barge shot with R2 going upstairs...you might as well cut the shot entirely. But overall it's great and very achievable! Thanks for sharing!

[davnes007]

Yeah...it is a bit rough around the edges. I was almost going to cut short that bit with R2 going upstairs (just before it pans up to Jabba & Leia),.

Boba Fett is WAY overrated.
