OK, I'm just gonna say it: Boba Fett is the most overrated character ever. The only did two things in the movies:
1- He half-assed the very mission he was hired for (Vader ended up capturing Han Solo himself). He only transported Han Solo from the cloud city to Jaba's palace.
2- He died pathetic death. The "best mercenary in the galaxy" gets killed by a blind man... -__-
Why did he become so popular? Why did he attract so much attention when he basically did nothing of relevance, nor was his character explained or explored. I mean, yeah, he's cool looking... I guess? (Having a rocket strapped to your back doesn't exactly give you a tactical advantage for stealth based missions. Think of the physics involved in using a proyectile explosive). My brain will never understand. Heck, even the Ewoks had more screen time than Boba Fett.
So, I don't get why latch on to EU stories. It's just a bunch of books/stories. Why pour so much effort into something that is just fiction and owned by a private company? I find it to be as pointless, non productive, irrelevant, childish, and boring as console wars. It's just a space fantasy franchise, you know. Imagine if people poured the same amount of dedication to other things such as learning to play an instrument, or learning a foreign language or something else.
Side note: I still have to remind myself that, in this topic, "EU" stands for Expanded Universe. Not European Union. Lol =D
