Boba Fett's 4th and 5th Draft Dialogue

(A very tough customer.) "I am in no hurry, Lord Vader. My concern is that Captain Solo not be damaged. The reward from Jabba the Hutt pays double if he's alive."

"But the chamber is for power goods. What if he doesn't survive? This slime is worth a lot to me..."

"Seal it." (Instead of "Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold.")
