I think it had more to do with him being a Kenner action figure released in advance of ESB.

I agree with Solium. While I`m all for a series of tales about peripheral interesting characters, Fett and Solo had no history together... he was a premiere bounty hunter, Solo an adept rogue.
If you tell a story about Fett, does it have to be somehow about him encountering Solo?!?... Establishing such a link weakens both and the Empire story overall. I hope they aren`t paging through the original 3 story scripts and highlighting with yellow marker any plot asides that could possibly infinitessimally potentially be exploded into unnecessary elaboration. Thats a bad way to make film (!).
I suppose if its really good/clever, I could accept it. At this juncture however that seems remote.
For Darth Maul for example, the only damn character from established Star Wars I want to see is... Darth Maul. No R2, no Yoda, no Chewy or Leia. Palpatine maybe, but nobody else.
For such a vast universe, why is there such little imagination?...

There isn't much tying the two together prior to ESB, but the two have enough connections that a story could certainly be told. Both worked for Jabba the Hutt. In the Special Edition of Star Wars, Boba Fett accompanied Jabba when Jabba met with Solo prior to Solo and company leaving Tatooine. Finally, in Return of the Jedi, Han recognized Boba Fett by name during the sail barge fight. Of course Vader could have made introductions when Han and company joined them for dinner on Bespin, or Chewbacca could have told him what happened while they were both locked up, or it is because they had a prior history.
I suppose if its really good/clever, I could accept it. At this juncture however that seems remote.
To quote Han: "Well, that's the real trick isn't it?"
I do agree, however, that the more connected they make the characters, the smaller the universe becomes, and one neat aspect of Star Wars is how vast the galaxy is supposed to be.

I wonder where the experiments have taken place? I watch quite a bit of Netflix streaming, including their original programming, and I have yet to see any commercials. Maybe they are limiting the geographic areas the commercials are being broadcast? No surprise that customer response has been very negative.
