Boba Fett wasn't cool when he killed him in 1983. His cult status came about in the 1990s, at which time Lucas decided to make him the central figure of the entire Clone War plot.

Has the pre-ESB mania been forgotten already? The fact that millions of fans didn't lapse into comas in 1978 during the Holiday Special, because of the cartoon segment that introduced Boba? The screams of anguish because Kenner denied us the god given right to shoot our eyes out with our "free" Fett action figures? ;)

And Boba was cool in 1983. His going out like a punk was razzed by fans at the time. Marvel resurrected him mere months after the movie came out. Sure, they had to put him back in the damn Sarlacc again, but that's beside the point.
