In regards to Fett and other potentially characters that are meant to be dead (and their EU returns), Joss Whedon sums it up best...
"And the Coulson thing was, I think, a little anomalous just because that really came from the television division, which is sort of considered to be its own subsection of the Marvel universe. As far as the fiction of the movies, Coulson is dead."
Obviously, substitute Fett or whomever for Coulson.

You may be confusing being "slowly digested" with being "kept alive..."

Of course most of that is all glorified fanfic.

Yes it is... somehow I doubt Fett's lifespan is 1,000 years. That quote backs up Westies14's statement that you seem to be confusing "slowly digested" with "alive."
I'd reason (that it's implied) that the Sarlaac keeps their victims in some state of consciousness for (some of) that time - I'd also reason that this same method of keeping someone alive during digestion makes it quite impossible to survive without the Sarlaac. But, that's all guesses and conjecture.
Needless to say, Fett's death should be permanent as far as movies go.... you wanna go EU with it, knock yourself out.

It is possible for him to still be alive, after all, the Sarlaac did swallow him whole so it's possible that the Sarlaac doesn't chew or even grind its food bird style in a gizzard and simply drops its prey straight into its gut to slowly digest. Then depending on just how good Fett's armor is and what, if any, life support functions it has he could (theoretically) make his way out. The big problem I see with that is that the Sarlaac seems to be a pretty long critter and the only way out would be the way he came in since going out the side would be completely out of the question since it's buried 10s of yards in the sand. So the only out would be for Fett to kill the Sarlaac from the inside and climb back out which could work but realistically, anything that works like a Sarlaac would have a way of at least anesthetizing its prey in order to keep it from doing exactly what I'm saying Fett could do.
Another idea that I came up with is that it's not really Fett we see but his son. Yeah, it's cheesey I admit but it could work if, say, Fett had a little action with one Jabba's slaves/servants while he was on Tattooine and he kept a spare set of armor. More than enough time has passed for the kid to have grown up and having heard the tales about his famous father all his life he one day decides that he's not only going into the family business but take up his father's mantle as well and claim the name and the appearance of Boba Fett. Now, if my idea were being done by Lucas then the mother wouldn't just be some random woman but would be someone we've already encountered previously because we all know how George likes playing 7 degrees of separation with all of his characters. But for the life of me, I can't think of any female characters of note who be the mother; I was think Asajj Ventress or Aurra Sing but both are prequel characters and might be too old by the time of Jedi.

No, there's no debate, there's simply fact.
Some concept art of Lupita's character...

In the same context, Joss Whedon killed off Coulson in the Avengers movie and created the SHIELD television series... Joss kept Coulson dead in the movie series (as I quoted and mentioned here) and as I've mentioned there's a difference between what's movie canon and EV canon.
All the talk about Disney and valuable IP really makes me sour on the whole Disney deal. I want a company that values and protects their characters and doesn't ***** them out for every little penny - in reality, keeping certain characters scarce and mysterious makes them more valuable.
I hope Fett isn't MVS in this movie - but, more and more reports are saying that he is. As far as Fett in an anthology film... I'd bet that's going to happen; I'm hoping it's not an origin story and would rather see some stand alone epic adventure of some sort.

See - that's part of the problem, Bryan... there's rumor and speculation right now. There is no known fact.
