He was ultimately exposed as an Imperial freelancer when R2-D2 intercepted a transmission with Darth Vader.
So, what happened?
I mean, Kenner even made Boba Fett the covetedmail-away action figure in 1979to further build his hype!
Of course, Fetts legend still managed to grow in spite of his botched big bad prospects.
