I'm in the Boba Fett is overrated camp. I see him as an overrated thug ("bounty hunter scum") who got his just comeuppance in ROTJ and never rose again

Im with you, although don't get me wrong, I love Boba (and all drinks with tapioca).

But he is a thug. He's clever enough to track the fountain, is cold blooded and looks awesome, and when he turns in Solo takes the sleazy job of being Jabba's bodyguard/entourage, and dies a goon's death. That's all I ask for of a minor character... look cool, serve the plot, die.

I never get the over arching love for this guy in the sense he was something more than a really cool looking henchman for the bigger villains.

Isn't he President of the Galaxy in the EU now or something. That's just weird to me.
