BTW, my version of Star Wars definitely does a better take on Boba Fett. Boba and Jango were brothers along with a whole host of Mandalorian Warriors who play a very integral part in the Clone Wars (which by the way involves the Separatists having a droid army AND a clone army against the Republic whose armies are made up of the warriors of its various worlds like Wookiees, Itorians, Mon Calamari, etc, etc). Through the course of the war, all of the Mandalorians are killed, but take more than a few Jedi with them. Jango is killed leaving Boba as the last Mandalorian, who aids Darth Vader in hunting the last of the Jedi. Once the Jedi are all destroyed, there's really nothing Boba can do but become a bounty hunter....who aids the Empire sometimes.


Why all the talk about Boba & wanting to know more? Just go read the books as they deal with Fett quite well - Tales of the Bounty Hunters & Book I of the The Bounty Hunter Wars, 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. Not to mention that some of the other bounty hunters like Dengar, 4-Lom, etc. are also expanded upon. If one reads those I don't see why anyone would feel the need to try & invent anything about him, unless one is a slave to LucAss & his vision through the prewankquels and thus not rececptive to the EU.
