I am not nearly as versed in expanded universe as huedell (thanks by the way) but aside from the undeiable cool look of him I go back to the late 70's when as a boy I tuned in for the Star wars holiday sepcial and the only part that was worth it was the 3 mniute animated segment with Fett. I beleive he was the first mail in kenner figure and his 12" figure was amazing especailyl when compared to the other kenner figs. His screen time in the films was short but he is the only bounty hunter with dialog in Empire. These 3 points led to his being a popular character. He and the mandalrian knights have several issues in the old Marvel comic committed to them as well.
Much like ther "cult of Wedge" it is amazing how peripheral characters in the original films take on a life of their own
