Yeah.... so.... it's very unclear why arguably the most bad-**** character in the movie (Boba Fett) sucks to the point of being useless & irrelevant in the game. This is made even more illogical when we have totally irrelevant characters like IG-88 or Jawa Engineer (was he even an actual character?) who are very powerful.
I think the overarching problem is the "revive" ability in game...I can sorta see an argument for droids glitching back to life if you want another game mechanic....but if Qui-Gon Jinn and Palaptine aren't coming back physically from death, if you care about what a character is supposed to be, boba fett surely isn't coming back.
... and yet, one of the most popular story arcs in the whole of the EU centres on Fett making it out of the Sarlac and continuing upon his reign of cool. He was the one character that Lucas tried to bury and the fans insisted he lived on. GoH hasn't shied away from using EU (Legends) lore so I can see the appeal to making him hard to kill.
He's had his own Marvel comic, a series of books and his own video game. It's not like he's been abandoned to the Legends universe either: He was written in to effectively be the father of all Stormtroopers (in a sense). If that's not enough, the popular theory on the third anthology film is that it will be the story of Fett's transition to manhood (the first being Rogue One, the second being a Han Solo origin story).
Make no mistake, he's a big deal. After he's proven to be the most effective villain in Battlefront, I find it hard to believe he'll be abandoned by EA.
My guess? He'll come into his own when they release the Starfighter Battles update and the best ship turns out to be Slave I...
