I hate the way Boba Fett has been built up so much, really guys stop expanding on his story. He's a faceless character with little to say and a throw away "comedy" death scene. Writing endless fiction on the guy and adding him to the prequels still leads directly to that pit death complete with stupid rocket sound effects and Sarlaac belching. Memorable, perhaps but so were the other bounty hunters in The Empire Strikes Back.

Boba Fett SURVIVED the Sarlaac pit monster though, due to his mandalorian armor. That is if you read into the EU stuff.

I fucking hate expanded universe bullshit. Some people just don't have the time to read dozens of books and play tons of games to get the full story of something. This especially pissed me off when they did it in LOST. They had a bunch of alternate reality games going on online in between seasons that revealed a bunch of information that was never talked about on the show. Guess what? I don't have the time to play a fucking ARG, don't make me jump through hoops and go through your stupid bullshit. Keep it in the original show / movie and don't punish people who don't have the time or money to keep up with your stupid expanded universe.

FUCK THAT SHIT!

Boba Fett went on to become fucking Mand'alor and eventually rebuilt the Mandalorian clan and lead their badass armies. Boba Fett's EU stories are mad-awesome.

No one's you have to read the EU. If you don't want to, just go with this. Very comprehensive and to the point. I consider it my Star Wars history texbook. I also use it as a reference point for what novels I particularly want to read, just to go a little more in-depth.

I honestly don't care enough about Star Wars to care about not getting the whole story, I just think the idea of an EU in the first place is just a money grab and not fair to fans who don't feel like putting in the effort.

But they don't have to pay attention to the EU. The movies are the the only big deal in the series. The rest are just spin-offs.

Many of the EUs are OFFICIALLY canon. Like Shadows of the Empire. BEST INTERQUEL EVER

But what I mean is, they're just bonus material for the rabid fans. No one needs to know every single detail about what happened and how in order to grasp what's going on in the movies.

Also, I dug up some of my old Star Wars toys.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT was there a ton.

I had a fuck load of action figures (even a few vintage ones, like Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Imperial Guard, and Bossk), the Millennium Falcon as an action figure case, a landspeeder, a music record, this Yoda Christmas snow globe my grandma got me, and this old Darth Vader mask my dad used to wear to scare the shit out of us. God knows how I could go into detail on each and every one of them.
I thought I was going to cry. lol

Edit: Ha, now I remember this one time when my dad made paper mache masks based on the characters. It was in my first house, when I was REALLY young. He imitated Chewbacca when working on the C-3PO mask (since he was rebuilding C-3PO in Empire.)

Well, the first 3 are about anakin skywalker. The second 3 are about Luke Skywalker. This is just one story. True, you don't need to know Dash Rendars relationship with IG88 to know about the 6 movies.

The star wars universe has became a huge thing. EVERYTHING has a backstory.

HAHAHA, I just dug mine up as well. I'm going through all my old stuff and I came across it in a bag of junk. The moment was wonderous.

Good choice. I personally loved the whole concept of the first game, as well as it's story. The second one.... not so much. I haven't beaten it yet, and I don't want any spoilers, so I don't know everything yet but from the get go I wasn't impressed. I couldn't see any reason for a sequel other than to make money. It just doesn't feel right to me.

The best part is that in that scene, they used the Wilhelm scream.

YES. That is the one of the only Star Wars novels I have ever read (other than something I read in middle school, I, Jedi). And as a novel in itself, it was pretty good. Mind you, it's been years since I've read it. But it was a very likeable and somewhat dark story.
