BOBA FETT. Need we say more. But what is it about this masked man that made thousands of fans decide that Boba Fett is to be the most memorable character to come out of the Star Wars saga.
First between the two movies he originally appeared in, he had a total of what ten minutes, and most of that was spent standing around in the background. Was it his dialog? Which was all of two lines; "He's no good to me dead." and "AAAHHHHHHH!"
Maybe it was his appearance. I mean have you seen this guy. Covered in armor from head to toe, wookie pelts, multiple weapons, or maybe it had something to do with the awesome jet pack with a huge missile attached.
I've often thought that maybe it has something to do with Darth Vader getting into Fett's face and telling him "...no disintegrations." I mean we already know Vader is powerful, but the fact that he had to get right into Fett's face to say this kind of makes us believe that even Vader felt a little fear when dealing with Boba Fett.
Funny thing about it all is that George Lucas had no plans for Boba Fett after he fell into the Sarlacc pit. That was suppose to be it, Boba Fett was to die. But in the end so many people loved the mysterious man that George Lucas started letting novels and comics be centered around him.
Now Boba Fett has an extensive profile that includes an adventerous past chasing Solo and multiple other bounties, managed to obtain family, and oh yeah, became Mandalore, which means he's in charge of an entire planet and millions of lives; all of whom seek advice and knowledge from their great Mandalore.
In the end Boba Fett has captured the hearts of fans around the world, and placed fear in the scum of the universe.
