Boba Fett just has that presence of someone you don't want to mess with. Just because he doesn't say much or move much, doesn't make him boring - it actually has the opposite effect. Think of him as James Dean (sorry - he just popped in my head) standing against a lightpole smoking a cigarrette telling people who come up to him to "fuck off." Being a bounty hunter gives him that ruthless, careless attitude.
He also has that "Terminator"/cold, machine-like mystique about him. Not talking, etc. has an erie effect on people. If someone's coming after me to hurt me, I'd be more freaked out if they didn't say anything than someone who does.
His armour is great too. It's just a good design (kudos to the costume designer). It's battle-worn - like a soldier should be - instead of nice & neat like Vader's (which I like 2nd best).
In the comics (after Return happens), he does pop-up again. He survives the giant "vagina."
And that was not the crappiest SW tie-in, what about the Ewok movie?
