He actually beat Phasma in one-on-one combat. He's more inconsistent than incompetent.

Speaking of characters they didn't do a damned thing with...

What did Boba Fett do on screen that was cool?

Dude wasn't afraid to stand up to Vader ("He's no good to me dead"), was clever enough to figure out the Falcon didn't go into hyperspace to escape Vader, took a few potshots at Luke, and gave respect to Leia when she threatened Jabba's court with a thermal detonator. Though I guess Leia got the idea from watching Solo, so maybe that shouldn't count.

Boba Fett is successful at tracking down the Millennium Falcon when the entire Imperial fleet and an army of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy failed.

In the battle at the Sarlacc pit, Boba Fett is the only enemy to successfully strike Luke (with his fibercord whip). I'm not sure, but Fett may be the only character in the entire trilogy to hit Luke with a ranged weapon outside of a vehicle.

Boba Fett is the strong, silent warrior who isn't intimidated by anyone, including Darth Vader. After Vader's "I'm altering the deal" speech to Lando, Boba Fett is the character who's not afraid to talk back to Vader and make Vader renegotiate the deal for Fett's bounty (in the carbonite chamber). The only other characters in the trilogy to speak to Vader the way Fett does are Palpatine, Tarkin, and Motti (who got force choked for his insolence).

In the original trilogy, Boba Fett is the only guy with a rocket pack.

Trying to downplay Boba Fett in the original trilogy is the equivalent of complaining that Batman has no super powers. It's the classic pizza cutter; all edge, no point.

Ooh, bad example. In the same fight, once Luke makes it onto the sailbarge's deck, Random Mook #20 successfully shoots him in his artificial hand.

Got me on that one, I forgot about the hand hit.

That is an impressively resistant hand. Gotta wonder why they don't make stormtrooper armor out of that material.

There are so many cool-looking things in SW that people don't excessively latch onto (B-wings...)

Speak for yourself!

Speak for yourself!

Seeing the prototype in Rebels really sold me on them, and showing the production-line models using the mini-superlaser at the end of Skeleton Crew was a real squee moment.

The B-Wing was always my favorite Rebel fighter.

Finn is, to borrow a term from D20 Modern, the Charismatic Hero.

this made me happy because it was the first RPG I really put my teeth into,

It is a cool ship.
