When Fett is first introduced, Vader is adressing the bounty hunters, but makes a specific point of reminding Fett there are to be "no disintegrations." This makes Fett bad-ass in that he is the only one adressed individually by Vader. It implies that either Fett is notorious for disintegrating people in general, or there has been some kind of specific incident that Vader is reffering to... perhaps Fett has hunted someone down for the Empire or Vader at some point in the past, but disintegrated them? If that's the case, then why was he not only allowed to live, but called back for a new job? He must be bringing something to the table.
Then, when the Falcon disappears, Fett is the only one who figures out where it went. He arranges to have Slave One jettisoned with the garbage, and then somehow deduces that Han will head for Bespin. When Vader et all turn up at Cloud City, it's because Fett must've known about the Han/Lando connection.
In the carbon freezing chamber, Fett has the cajones to challenge Vader on his decision to freeze Han. Vader's response is to promise Fett money, instead of simply force-strangling him like he tends to do to other people who piss him off. Vader obviously either has some degree of respect for him, or at least sees him as too useful to kill.
Lastly Fett gets off the first few shots in his firefight with Luke, keeping him pinned down and escaping.
The guy's clearly a badass. Unless you bump his jet pack with a stick.

But seriously, the Anakin head transplant doesn't really bother me. He's a ghost, so I think he just appears as he sees himself.
In my opinion, it is what Luke sees, so they should appear as Luke expects to see.
Leia looks at the same spot, but sees nothing. Luke expects to see a 45-year old healthy man and that is what I think the audience should also see. Sebastian Shaw was 76 years old.
If Christensen is in there, then for consistency's sake, Alec Guiness and Yoda should be exchanged for Ewan McGregor and a tadpole.
The point some of us are trying to make is that Vader kind of spent 20 or so years in this limbo. So he wasn't 'himself' when he aged from his late 20s or however old he was in ROTS, to when he finally redeemed himself. Both Obi-Wan and Yoda stayed true to themselves through-out there life, so their ghost images are that of the person they were when they died. But Vader's is of who he was before he fell to the Dark Side. I don't feel too strongly one way of the other, I guess. Hayden or Sebastian, it's a small moment and they both have their merits (Shaw has a nice loving father expression, so I won't complain however Adywan chooses to do it. Well, unless he rotoscopes Jake Llloyd in there, but I am confident he won't. Hah.

NOTHING in the movies indicates he is such a great bounty hunter. So he managed to capture Han Solo? Yeah, with the aid of a sith lord and a few dozen imperial troops. Even Greedo managed to find Solo....

Vader telling Fett not to disintegrate could be construed that Fett is reckless and a lousy bounty hunter, actually. If he was an assassin, maybe it would make more sense. But it's like somebody telling Dog the Bounty Hunter not to blow the head off his quarry with a shotgun...
(but I do give the guy points for that trash move, that would seem that he's good at empathetic detecting, thinking in the same way as his pray)
Anyway, kind of going back on topic: I have a little bit of a concern. Adywan will probably be getting more and more popular, as will these projects. Seems to be that it's only a matter of time before LucasFilm hands out a Cease and Desist order...anybody else concerned of this?
