Boba Fett
If we were to talk about the ratio between popularity and screen time, then Boba Fett is arguably the most famous character in the entire galaxy. With enough lines to be counted on your fingers, the green bounty hunter has since starred in his own comic book and is always a popular costume around Halloween time.
We know how he dies in Return of the Jedi (he’s eaten by the big mouth in the desert), and we learn a little bit about his backstory in Attack of the Clones, but there’s a long hiatus between Attack of the Clones and his first appearance next to the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope. What happened during this time? He’s constantly revered as one of the best of the bounty hunters in the galaxy, but how did he earn that tile? We know one possible way to find out….
Though Boba Fett gained popularity because of his minimal screen time, making the bounty hunter a leading man could redefine his prominence in the original series, while also adding onto the character’s legacy.
