Most importantly, take out orders of protection preventing Karen Traviss from going near the script, the sets, the actors, etc.

Yes. I only read one of her Imperial Commando books, 501st, and it bored me to death. I could barely remember who was who. This was before I heard of her Mando-wanking.

And he should definitely disintegrate the Jedi when he finds him, good idea there Havok.

I also agree, make it clear Boba's scum. The films and some of the EU established a cold, ruthless contract killer.
Hmmm... actually, if given the direction we are going... I could see this as a movie.

I can picture the scenes.

She has pretty much been ostracized from the Star Wars franchise if memory serves. She also burnt her bridges and showed he True Colors as she did so.

Man, I love puns.

I actually enjoyed the Republic Commando series (near as I could tell, the overarching theme was that clones != droids, do have thoughts of their own, and do defect), but I can see I'm in the minority here.

I think they should make a movie out of Boba Fett's entry in Tales of the Empire, where he takes on an entire Imperial garrison to kill the CO's brother, including carjacking an AT-AT.

Any Fett film is going to be a geekfest for certain since the man is a veritable walking armory. As per SWVD, he even has mini-rocket launchers in his kneepads for Pete's sake!

How does he not break his knees?

Maybe some kind of week propellant or other form of launch to clear the legs before the actual rockets primary propulsion activates?

The rocket launcher on his knee pads have always been there. Check out your 1970's toys.

And who gives a fuck about the practicality of it.
