Artwork of the Day... With recent news that everyone's favorite bounty hunter (no, not Jamie Foxx's Django...or Attack of the Clones' Jango) might be getting his own Star Wars spin-off film, here's a cool illustration that I just stumbled upon showing Boba Fett rocketing out of the Sarlacc Pitt following the events of Return of the Jedi (ROTJ). Of course— Boba escaping from Tatooine's desert vagina (yea, I said that out loud) and Darth Maul coming back from the dead in The Clone Wars animated series after being sliced-and-diced by Obi-Wan in The Phantom Menace reeks of Expanded Universe lameness...but if the Boba movie does show a quick shot of the Mandalorian flying away from the Great Pit of Carkoon (RE: Sarlacc), I won't mind. Presumably, this scene would take place at either the beginning or end of the film, but it would remain to be seen if Lawrence Kasdan's screenplay recaps events of ROTJ (even though this solo flick is supposedly set to take place between The Empire Strikes Back and ROTJ; Shadows of the Empire be damned) that led to Boba almost being slowly digested for a thousand years within the desert vagina. Or...this scene will play out without any explanation and make an assumption that everyone in the audience saw ROTJ beforehand. Much to ponder about, we have. (FYI, I'm indifferent to Yoda having his own movie.)
