HE ESCAPED! HE NEVER DIED! That nets him major cajones points for being the only person to survive the Sarlacc. Unfortunately not many people are aware of this. And I also personally love it when Vader tells him "No disintegration". Is he really so big a fan of utterly destroying his enemies that Vader thinks Fett will disobey the right hand man of the Emperor himself? Obviously Vader does, because Boba Fett just does not give a fuck and does what he wants.
He still got eaten, and it was the fault of his own equipment, which takes most of the coolness he had before hand and crushes it for me. If we had SEEN him fight someone or something I'd be more then happy to say "Yes he is bad ass" but instead we don't unless you're a much bigger fan then I and knew about the comics, which I didn't until about a year ago. And it might just be for me but decent, non-manga comics, that DON'T require 20 or so years of back story, for you to know what the hell is happening, are about as easy to find as the Ark of the Covenant.

I am a Star Wars Fan I grew up with the movies (The REAL ones), and one thing I've heard over and over again is how Boba Fett was fucking awesome. Now yes he's a bounty hunter and bounty hunters are awesome, but he didn't do anything, he had like three lines, never used any of his weapons, and the only thing he actually did was take Han Solo to Jabba's place, and then he got eaten. So would someone be so kind as to tell me why our good Mr. Fett is so popular?
Disclaimer: I am not saying that he sucks, I mean hands down he has my favorite costume in the franchise. It's just that I don't understand why people love him as much as they do.
It's just the way he acts, the aura surrounding him. Same reason people love the Shark from Jaws, and the Alien from... well... Alien.
Also, he's the only guy in the saga that gave Vader the evil eye. Sure, hes wearing his helmet at the time, but you just know it.
I don't think it's quite the same, I mean Jaws and Alien they were the main villians, the entire movie was spent hyping them up and you knew they were to be feared because you actually saw them killing most of the cast. I just felt that we were being told to fear Boba but never actually saw any reason to. Sure he had a cool look about him, but if it comes down to looking really awesome and actually demostrating being really awesome, I'd prefer the latter. I mean if Boba Fett came into my bar or something, based soley on what I have seen, I'd think "Oh dear, this guy has a big gun, he might be trouble." and not "Ohh shit, that's Boba Fett, I'm fucked."
