I tried doing some searching, but didn't find anything readily available to read about this. Here I am almost 37 years old now wondering something I never questioned until about 2 weeks ago (do you ever have moments where questions hit you suddenly, haha!).
My son (almost 4) REALLY loves all of the Jabba's Palace stuff in Return of the Jedi and I was watching that segment with him and it made me wonder something about Boba Fett. We know when Leia is discovered to be the person behind the mask rescuing Han, Jabba asks Lando to bring her to him. While not in translated text, you hear him say, "LONDO..." So obviously Jabba knows it's Lando, but Boba Fett doesn't appear to be alarmed.
Doesn't Boba Fett know Lando turned against the Empire and tried to get Han back before he could make off with the carbonite? If that is the case, then wouldn't Fett have reason to believe Lando's presence is very suspicious and that he needed to be dealt with? Was Fett already suspicious, but playing it cool and keeping Jabba informed to watch his back? Did they know the rebels had to be involved when suddenly Chewie shows up in shackles?
I know this is a movie and shouldn't probably be thinking too far into it, but something seems foggy to me as to why Boba Fett's demeanor and action was so calm and unconcerned for Lando's presence there. So why would Lando go from being a leader in the city of Bespin to a skiff guard in Jabba's palace?
Maybe Jabba didn't say 'Lando', and it just sounded that way in what he said before asking him to bring Leia to him.
The toy indicates he was wearing a "disguise" which to me translates as hidden without intent to be known, but they seemed to know him by name per Jabba.
or maybe the name Lando is kinda common in the universe? HAHAH!
Sorry for the bit of a rant here. I'm more curious and interested to know! I would think Boba would have wanted to cap Lando given his involvement with the rebels getting in the way of his business and his reluctance to cooperate with the Empire in his presence alongside Vader in ESB.
