Growing up, I liked the version of Boba Fett in the EU. He was a combination of Mad Max, The Man With No Name, and Batman. Unstoppable, but utterly isolated and paranoid. There was no line between him and the work, he didn’t have a personal life.
He has gadgets within gadgets. Traps. Tricks. He knows where all the bodies are buried, because he put them there.
Somewhere I saw the picture of the ESB Boba Fett actor on set and absolutely accepted it as how Fett looked under the helmet.
He showed up just enough in the EU to create the idea of a character without ruining the mystique.
I alternately accept Morrison as a worthy Fett, and I like the idea that he seems to have for the take, but I can’t get behind Disney trying to awkwardly rewrite him as a full on good guy and shoving him into the limelight.
Boba Fett.
He was literally the “No, disintegrations!” Guy.

Now he’s some sort of heroic crime boss.
