FETT ACCOMPLI
Why was Boba such a hit?

A Boba Fett fan shares his sad obsession
Deconstructing the mass appeal of Star Wars mysterious masked mercenary by Dalton Ross

For a dude who had a whopping four lines in three movies (not including his pathetic death squeal in Return of the Jedi), Star Wars ruthless bounty hunter Boba Fett has turned into something of a cult figure. Perhaps it's because he spoke softly and carried a big jet pack. Or that he didn't need a stupid lightsaber to kick butt. Maybe it's just the fact that homeboy flew around in a steam iron called Slave 1. Whatever the reason, this intergalactic man of mystery always stood out as the coolest figure in the original trilogy. (For the uncoolest figure, pick an Ewok, any Ewok.)

Of course, Fett freaks like me were never really able to truly unite and conquer until the development of the Internet brought us together like rubber-faced aliens to a cantina. That's when Mr. Fett made his transformation from geek hero to mainstream badass. Evidently, George Lucas was listening, making Boba's father, Jango, a central figure in Attack of the Clones.  With the Fett family now in full effect, it seems like a good time to check out how our main man is faring online...."
