I'd almost wager that they intentionally chose not to name Fett in the film....possibly due to not being able to find a place to slip it in without it sounding too contrived or cheesy. There are multiple points at which they COULD have named him, but don't. For example at one point Leia asks Lando what is to become of Han (after Han's been tortured), to which Lando replies: "He's being given to the bounty hunter."
LEIA: What about Han?
LANDO: Vader's giving him to the bounty hunter, Boba Feet.
LEIA: Boba Feet? You mean Boba Fett?
LANDO: Do you know him?
LEIA: Not originally. But in this edit I do, thanks to a previous scene in which his name was clearly spoken.
