10 Sci-Fi Movie Villains That Had Totally Lame Deaths

2. Boba Fett - Return Of The Jedi

To borrow a phrase from the realms of professional wrestling, is there ever anyone in sci-fi movie history who was jobbed out in a more underwhelming way than Boba Fett?

Depicted as the baddest of badass bounty hunters in the galaxy, Fett's brief appearance in The Empire Strikes Back saw him be the only person with the grapefruits to talk back to Darth Vader and live! This Mandalorian armour-adorned warrior was positioned as somebody so effective and outright tough that even the choke-happy Vader second guessed himself when in Boba's company.

So, to see Boba Fett's demise play out in such a ridiculous way in Return of the Jedi? That's something that has forever slapped Star Wars fans in the face.

The fact that Fett's demise was the slowburn digestion of being gobbled up by the Sarlacc wasn't even so much a bad way to go - it's more the way that this all played out in an almost slapstick manner.

Remember, a blind Han Solo cartoonishly causes Boba's jetpack to malfunction, in turn launching Fett up into the skies only for him to plummet into the Sarlacc pit. The end result was something that felt more in tune with Mr. Bean, rather than being a fitting send-off for one of the galaxy's most feared bounty hunters.
