Extra Munition affected by Boba Fett?

When Boba removes the torpedo card, is the opponent allowed to shoot his "other" torpedo by just having "Extra Munition"?

Boba Fett:

"After performing an attack, if the defender was dealt a faceup Damage card, you may discard this card to choose and discard 1 of the defender's Upgrade cards."

Extra Munition:

"When you equip this card, place 1 ordnance token on each equipped Torpedoes, Missiles, and Bomb Upgrade card. When you are instructed to discard an Upgrade card, you may discard 1 ordnance token on that card instead."

This interaction is not 100% clear by RAW, and we're hoping it will be FAQed soon.

My personal opinion is that Boba can't usefully discard munitions whilst EM is in play and the tokens haven't been used (noting that EM puts a token on itself by RAW as well), he would allow the other player to choose to discard the EM token instead, but others will say different, and their arguments are just as strong.

(and for my money, it would be rare that EM would be the best choice anyway, I'd far prefer to get rid of deadeye, or the astromech, or FCS, or... etc)

You're welcome to take a look at the threads in the rules questions forum for all the (exhaustive) arguments.
