There are plenty of ways to make a "bad guy" into a protagonist... that's not what concerns me. What concerns me is giving up so much information on the character that he loses the mystique that made him so appealing in the first place, like what happened to Wolverine in the 90's comics (if you're old enough to remember how that character started out)...

On the other hand, the mystique with Boba Fett was already severely chipped away with the adventures of "Baby Boba" in the prequels, so I suppose the damage is done...

I read somewhere once that studies show that renters have hap sex with their partners than home owners

I've been renting an apartment in a beautiful two flat for the last ten years. Our landlords are the nicest people, and are very responsible, and we now consider them friends as well as business partners. We have never had any problems other than living without a new stove for 2 days, and we have one other set of neighbors that we hardly see/hear.

We've been paying reasonable rent, and every morning in the winter that it snows, someone else shovels our walk for free. We even have a whole garden in the back that we never touched (not that into gardening), and plenty of space to barbecue.

Every one of my friends and family members who owns a home has had to shell out huge amounts of money on HOME REPAIRS over the last 10 years. Home repairs can be a domino effect... My one friend has had to fix his drainage system, then the foundation started cracking, then the roof started coming undone. My sister bought her house not realizing there was a sewage issue that she ended up spending 10's of thousands of dollars on. Another friend's heat conked out in below zero weather, and it couldn't be fixed for several weeks because of a crooked contractor, then costly repairs, then a lawsuit.

And meanwhile there's my wife and I. Sitting on our back porch, watching the backyard grass grow, knowing that we won't have to cut it.
