mez1109 Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Boba a is NOT a GOD. But no idiot can be killed that easily, if one of you fell inside a sarlacc, what is your first stage of action: 1. Try to crawl out 2. Stand there and wait for help 3. Call the fire department (love mobile phones) 4. Call for a pizza, it might take some time to be digested 5. Blow or cut the insides of the sarlacc 6. Wait for a ship to squash the sarlacc's, causing him to puke or spit you ou 7. Start a warm fire, smoking you way out Now a normal person would panic an piss themselves, Boba is a professional. If Han Solo fell in the sarlacc you expect him to get out of it, just because Boba is the enemy does not mean he is physically and mentaly disabled.

Jaster21801 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 <game show> ooh ooh I know the answer to this one... it's ummmmmmmmmm. Number 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I win right? *buzzer noise* Sorry the correct answer is not listed. The correct answer would be to use one of your suit's myriad gadgets to slice your way through its tentacles or possibly use grenades to make your own exit door... </game show> Seriously though, that armor of his does have plenty of gadgets. And even if Fett did suffer a concussion, we don't know how long it would take for him to recover or how long hte effects would last. Hell, you can have a concussion and not even know it... Also, didn't he scream as he fell? Wouldn't this suggest that he's conscious? I'm not trying to argue one way or another. When it comes to the films, I believe the Fetts are dead. But when it comes to EU, I like to believe that Boba survived. I'm not trying to argue with anyone but I do believe that due to the Sarlacc's extremely slow digestion process, escape COULD be possible. This possibility MAY be affected, however, to the toxins/digestive acids that hte beast uses. Perhaps they put the victim in something similar to a drug induced high, but then the victim would feel no pain. If we KNEW that the acids were used for paralysis, then I'd say that escape is impossible, but the details are just too shady. Personally, I separate films from EU... oh and I consider that horrible X-mas special EU as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by MotionMan I dont know why you guys make Bobba out to be a sort of GOD-Like being that is not capable of death. He is dead. -Bobba must have got a concusion from hitting the wall after his jetpack turn on. -He then fell into the Sarlacc. -Jabbas ship blows up thus maybe killing the Sarlacc and everyone in or out side of the sarlacc. -Once dead the Sarlacc colapses on itsself thus killing anyone inside of it with its massive weight. -Those who werent instantly crushed were trapped inside the dead sarlacc in a tight spot. BOBBA=DEAD,DEAD,DEAD For such a strong conclusion, your "facts" leading up to it are a bit iffy. Why MUST Bobba have gotten a concussion? All that armor just isn't for show, after all. And you point out that the sarlaac MAYBE died, but then immediately assume that it is dead in the next two "facts." Besides, how well do you know the anatomical structure of the Sarlaac anyway? For all we know it's body is wouldn't just collaspes if it were to die; chances are it's well supported by all the sand around it. And even is Boba was stuck in a tight spot, that doesn't mean he won't blast his way out... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 If it is soo easy for people to crawl out of the sarlacc then it would shurly starve to death. Thats how the Sarlacc eats it eats whatever animal falls into its mouth. It must have a sort anti escaping method for whatever creature falls in. If not then whats the point of the sarlacc feeding the way it does? Just cause Bobba is a "COOL" charecter doesnt mean that he can survive anything. Thats BS. About my asumcions...Yes they are just gueses. BUT I think they sound better than the EU gueses. Where Bobba is an immortal being that cannot be killed. Anyhow I watched ROTJ again today and I saw something interesting. When Bobba falls into the Sarlacc the Sarlacc even burps. Like Lucas's way of saying he is done for. DEAD. I know burping doesnt signify him being dead , but I think its a sign from Lucas saying "he is dead,let it be":) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Nobody said it was easy for someone to escape the Sarlaac, but we're talking about someone who's armed with blasters on his wrists. Someone asked earlier why Jabba would use the Sarlaac as a means for execution if it could be escaped easily. My response to that question serves here as well. The people Jabba executes aren't armoured, wearing jetpacks, and armed... Boba is. As for burping... considering all the armour I'd be surprised if it didn't burp Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcceptableRisk Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I believe there was an official statement by GL proclaiming Boba Fett dead. Edit : From http://www.starwars.com/databank/creature/sarlacc/index.html : Jabba's attempt to feed Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca to the Sarlacc ended in disaster. Skywalker broke free of his captors, and made short work of Jabba's guards, many of whom found themselves tumbling into the pit. Even the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett could not escape the disgusting creature, as an out-of-control rocket pack deposited the armored hunter into the Sarlacc's gullet. Sure he escaped..

Jaster21801 Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Granted, this is still EU, but it may shed some light on the digestive juices. From Starwars.com database "Such immersion is accompanied by mind-altering neurotoxins which keep the victim docile. The hallucinations coaxed by the toxins suggest that the Sarlacc somehow absorbs the intelligence of all its victims, who live on in disembodied torment. These reports are allegedly from the only person known to survive being swallowed by a Sarlacc -- the bounty hunter Boba Fett. His iron will and Mandalorian armor kept him alive inside the beast, and his weapons-covered suit afforded him escape from agony. It would be years before both Fett's body and reputation recovered from the Sarlacc." If this is how Lucas would say the Sarlacc digested stuff then Fett would have a fighting chance cuz of his armor. Supposedly his armor was airtight and this would allow him time to recover from his concussion and still not be affected by the toxins. But this is all theoretical too.. So there's obviously no final say in this unless you isolate film from literature. Like I said before, in talking about the films, I'd say Fett is dead. In discussing EU, he's alive and feisty.

Kryllith Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Originally posted by AcceptableRisk I believe there was an official statement by GL proclaiming Boba Fett dead. Sure he escaped.. Also from the site... (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/bobafett/index.html) "With a sickly belch from the desert creature, it seemed as if Fett's career as the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter was brought to an end." Note the word "seemed"... As for him not "escaping", let me offer up a couple of the various definitions of "escape" as listed in Merriam-Websters' Collegiate Dictionary: "to avoid a threatening evil" "to get or stay out of the way of" "evasion of something undesirable" Boba was forced to encounter the Sarlaac due to the problems with the jet pack, thus he was unable to avoid/stay out of the way of/evade it. That doesn't mean he couldn't free himself... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Another problem that Boba would face is complete disorientation. He wouldn't know up from down from left or right. Down in the ground you don't really know......especially if there are means that the sarlacc uses to hold it's food immobile, which it would almost certainly do, as having many creatures running around inside it's stomach would give it indigestion. if this was already pointed out, i'm sorry, i started typing this message 3 hours ago and just got back to my computer............

Sith Inquisitor Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 A question? I heard that while he was in the Sarlacc he actually talked to someone who had been there for awhile. Now this could have been. . .*COUGH*. . .EU, just like his escaping the Sarlacc was EU, I believe. Someone set me straight if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gravity is still going to affect him one way or the other, so if he's got any mobility he should be able to reason out what's up and what's down. He might have a problem in a liquid environment, but even there people have a some instincts as to what is up. Granted the immobilization (if there is any) by the sarlaac could be a problem, though he's still armed so he might be able to rid himself of that. Heck, if nothing else, a few blasts at the walls of the Sarlaac's stomach might encourage the Sarlaac just to retch him up. Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mez1109 Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Now if Luke while bein UNARMED is thrown into a sarlacc he be dead, but with a light saber with him, he cut the sarlacc from the inside. Boba was armed, he even had a jet pack, which makes up for force jump, he wers the armor, because he KNOWS how to use it to his advantage, you could say he nearly lives in that suit. Still, as GL wants to kill of the bad guy, I think he is dead, period. Also the victims offered to the sarlacc are not only unarmed, but also have their hands tied to their back. So there is something in the back of my mind that says, this is too TOO easy, to kill of Boba like that. Even though the Fetts had such a short screen time in the SW movies, they still sale alot of murchendise.....to the point.... .........WHY? ........WHY THE HELL GEORGE?........... ....Why kill of the Fetts so easy, they are a GOLD Mine....
