There are many reasons Fett is a great character (and why he Bad-Ass). I'll try to avoid all of the stuff from the books but they reinforce Fett and the characteristics that define him.
1). Disintegrations: In the Dark Horse Comic "Enemy of the Empire" - Baba Fett had been given the order to disintegrate his target giving him a reputation for being relentless.
2). Boba Fett wears braids made of Wookie hair as trophies of Wookies that he has bested.
3). Boba Fett outsmarts Has Solo. When Han comes up with the idea of floating away with the trash, Boba Fett sees through Han's plan and is able to track him and arrive in Bespin before they can even land the Falcon
4). Boba Fett has the balls to negotiate with a Sith Lord and still come out with a good deal - something few people can do. Then later he has the balls again to challenge Vader when he warns "he's no good to me dead"
4). Once Boba Fett has Han captured (frozen), he had to outsmart and fend off two different IG-88 droids in two separate attacks, as well as defend his bounty against the team-up of Bossk, Zuckus and 4-Lom multiple times before he could get Han to Jabba and claim his reward - some of the toughest and most ruthless mercinaries in the bounty hunter's guild. (Also, an aside from the books... Boba Fett was able to outsmart and dissolve the entire Bounty Hunter's Guild.)
5). Boba managed to get two bounty payouts for the same bounty from two of the hardest villains around. He was paid by Vader to provide Han as bait to get Skywalker and he was able to turn him over to Jabba once Vader was finished with him. Successfully!!
6). Shooting at Luke while on the Sail Barge. - It's believed that Boba missed Luke on purpose because he knew Vader wanted him alive. The reason he tried to catch him using the wrist lasso and why he jet-packed to the skiff instead of staying on the barge..
7). Why was Boba Fett hanging around Jabba's Pallace after he delivered Han?
Jabba offered Fett more credits, knowing Skywalker and the other would probably try to rescue him. Jabba was known for keeping multiple bounty Hunters and mercenaries on retainer both through blackmail and by paycheck. Having many different factions close by ensured that even if there was mutiny, there was always another faction standing by to protect him for a cash payment.
. Boba Fett has the best ship in Star Wars galaxy with best weaponry and gadgets. He also has the cash to keep it up to date functioning perfectly - because he is the best at what he does. Slave One is a modified prototype police vehicle (Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft) made by Kuat Systems Engineering, the largest ship builder in the galaxy. (I also like the B-wing fighter, it's pretty cool too.)
9). Boba Fetts custom Mandalorian Armor is just plain cool.
10). Fett had to end up in the Pit of Carkoon/Sarlac Pit". It was the only option story wise. Fett would have pursued Skywalker and the gang if he could have and then where would that leave our heroes - DEAD, that's where.
I shouldn't have to defend him but there you go - Truth be told I also like Bossk and Dengar for their own reasons as well.

Later, brother. If that comic from Dark Horse isn't a remake of X, I don't want to hear about it!

Keep your ankles firmly griped.

It is not an abomination. It's pretty damned good. Someone put some very careful thought into paying an homage to John's song. I loved the Beatles too, but, and I know this will make people mad, John was certainly not doing his best work solo. This a careful rendering of the song as it might have been done with the band and with collaboration. I don't think it's the song it would have been if the Beatles had done it, but nothing that they did after breaking up was as good as what they did in the group. Excepting maybe George Harrison- ever listened to "Dark Horse"? George did some really fine songs here and there.

The "support" for R.Paul around VS as some kind of dark horse is as disingenuous as me promoting a total moron/traitor like Kucinich.

Sorry gang, R.Paul is nowhere near able to "naderize" conservative voters, if that's the plan.

Student: …we’ve heard that you have questioned the government’s official account.

Paul: Well, I never automatically trust anything the government does when they do an investigation because too often I think there’s an area that the government covered up, whether it’s the Kennedy assassination or whatever.

"Newsflash to Ron Paul, the Kennedy assassination was solved years ago, the grassy knoll theory doesn’t hold water.

"Ron Paul is a wacko. I cannot understand what thr obsession is with this man. His voice is so annoying I tune him out seconds after hearing him. He should be running under the Democratic Party or the Green Party.

"Furthermore, he is now alleging that the federal government hasn’t been completely forthcoming with the “truth” about 9/11. The man is nothing but a noisemaker. He lives in a pre-9/11 era and would be dangerous for the future survival of this country."

Upvote for my commentary. ha ha ha!

As a hardcore fan of this franchise, Alien Ressurection is acceptable to me right up to the point where the Ripley clone fucks an alien and produces a really lame looking new super-alien. If you stop the movie when Ripley gets sucked into the floor and assume everyone dies, it's a respectable attempt at an Alien movie in the vein of Dark Horse's comic books.

I rewatched Alien Vs Predator last night, and it was half completely retarded, and half not that bad. Basically any scenes involving aliens and predators are really cool. The movie's problem is the bullshit with the pyramid and the fact that most of the characters are retarded.

I also think it's okay if the movies are not completely consistent. Alien was scary and slow-paced. Aliens was scary with balls to the wall action (best movie ever made if you ask me). Alien 3 was scary and slow-paced. Alien Resurrection was not scary but had quite a bit of action. So maybe if they ever make an Alien 5 it will be really scary. I actually just typed in "I'd like to see David Fincher do an Alien film" only to remember he did Alien 3. So how about Alex Proyas for the next scary one and then Zack Snyder for the next action-oriented sequel? I'd love a new alien movie every two or three years.
