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' 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.

-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.

The Bounty Hunter on Ord Mantell was IG-88, the droid bounty hunter.

Boba Fett appearantly survived the Sarlaac with help from Bossk. I don't know the details, I've not read that book. I have heared that Fett is in the NJO books towards the end.

Yeah. I've always wondered why the Fett's were such a big deal. Although Mace Windu was much stronger than Kenobi. (In an episode of the Clone Wars, he defeats an entire droid army without his lightsaber.)
