It would've also been nice if perhaps a little dialogue revealed some sort of back story as to why Fett was somewhat "obsessed" with Solo. (After all - they had to have some past history together as only Solo and Chewbacca called him "Boba Fett," but everyone else knew him as "bounty hunter."
Boba Fett (bounty hunter) + Han Solo (smuggler with large bounty on his head) = 'why Fett was somewhat "obsessed" with Solo'
Han refers early in tESB about 'that run in with the bounty hunter on Ord Mantell' I'm assuming that between A New Hope and TESB , Han had a few encounters with bounty hunters including Boba Fett. Do we really need any more backstory on such a minor insignificant character in the series? I never quite understood the fascination with Boba Fett, when you consider his mininmal on-screen contributions to the series he is no where near the intergalactic badass that the fanboys think he is,
- his only contribution in Empire was following the Falcon to Bespin and leading the Empirials to Cloud city, Vader and his troops did the rest , then Boba Fett acted as a courier service delivering Han to Jabba, even Greedo could have done that!
- in ROTJ he didn't fare much better in the skiff battle, (fair enough he did shoot those cool ropes at Luke) but it didn't really slow Luke down by much, and then a 'BLIND' Han Solo accidently hit Boba's backpack while his back was turned, causing it to misfire and launch him into the Sarlaac Pit' and I don't care what EU says BOBA NEVER ESCAPED FROM THE PIT, I only wish George had of CGI'd some razor sharp teeth into the Little Shop of Horrors Sarlaac monster, so that we could remove any doubt to the fact that Boba didn't survive, as far as I'm concerned, if we had to suffer through seeing the obnoxious beginnings of this character in AOTC, then it's only fair that we get to see his death on-screen as well . Obviously Boba fett's reputation far surpasses his acomplishments on-screen, and his Father didn't fare much better.
-granted Jango did manage to hold his own during his battle with Obi-wan Kenobi on Kamino, but it didn't take much effort for Mace Windu to lop his head off, and to top it all off he couldn't even assasinate Padme, he had to hire another bounty hunter to do it for him.
The only thing that the fetts proved in the movies was how clumsy they were.
