Name one other major character in the entire saga who is simply known as "that person that does that thing"
Bib Fortuna probably has more screentime than Fett but he's never named. The Emperor is never named as Palpatine in the OT. Leia is never refered to as Organa anywhere. Lobot is probably also on screen in ESB as much as Fett without needing a name. Oh and the biggst one, is this random guy...
^ He was in the very first crucial scene in ROTJ (And many others) and because he wasn't named I found the rest of the movie made no sense... even after a hundreds views... Joking ;-)
Not leaving the PT out so just who where these dudes? I only know them as "that person that does that thing"...
This character is in all 3 PT films and I don't know anything about him?
This alien fellow is all over TPM and has numerous lines but I'm none the wiser,
and who the flamin' 'eck was this notorious rogue...
plus this ship was pretty iconic to a lot of kids in 1977...
...but they didn't know what to call it to their friends in the playground until 3 years later at the very end of ESB when a (Nameless) Imperial guy mentions it.
So in conclusion I don't think it's needed, consistent, or desireable to name Boba Fett in ESB:R.
