He's about as cool as Yak Face now. In fact, maybe Yak face has a really cool history that we can only guess at and as yet hasn't been pissed on by the prequels. Yak Face is my new hero. And let's be honest, if you take just the movies and not the books etc that padded out the character, Mace Windu is pretty lame too. He's basically a stubborn Jedi who seems to do nothing but reiterate plot points with yoda and be a dick to Anakin.
True. But when it comes down to it, you can just accept what you want. Some want Fett to live, so they accept all the EU except the prequels. Why? They think he's a badass and want him to live saying "no way he died, he can't, he's Boba Fett." And then they don't like his back story so they don't accept it. It's kind of like Lucas. He accept almost none of the EU part of canon, but yet does accept some (Coruscant, Aayla Secura). They pick and choose.
