Well, I think the big deal was in the mystique of the character. I know you already stated you aren't a fan of that, but hear me out.Here's this dude who looks badass - a helmet visage comparable to Vader. He cradles his rifle like Clint Eastwood in the Dollars trilogy, and among a chorus of the greatest galactic bounty hunters - is expressly pointed out to Vader who has to tell him not to VAPORIZE one of the main characters. His voice at the time was grizzled, rough. Irritated. It was beneath him to nearly respond.
His ship was badass, he blasts at Luke and takes Han to one of the biggest crimelords around.
Admittedly, his death is awful.
But the character - what little we saw - was intriguing. It's what caused people to be interested in him in the Expanded Universe to begin with.
You're too young to have this opinion, man! uhuh
So am I, really. I can understand the outrage at his chump-ass death in RotJ and how poorly he didn't live up to the reputation from ESB. But I cannot understand the continue wank over Boba Fett now that we know he's not all the great even against a poorly trained Luke Skywalker.
