and the mystery that is Fett, guess we'll never know

Actually, and this was another reason that stuck out for me with regards to Lucas's revisionism, some of the books deal with Fett quite well - i.e. - the Bounty Hunter Trilogy. His history is fleshed out and it's totally fitting; not to mention badass. Unlike Lucas's dumb 'hey-i'm-a-little-bounty-hunter-clone; here-is-my-helmet-there is-my dad' ensemble BS, the books are actually fitting.
Yet another reason why I ignore the prequels entirely; the books/expanded universe vision of Star Wars is just so much more complex & grandiose. Not to mention Gungan-free.
