This thread isn't taking off on SB so I think they'll be more appreciation here
Lets examine this phenomena. TvTropes calls this Ensemble Dark Horse as usually the subject is of an ensemble and dark horse victory to refer to an unexpected win from a little known racing horse.
I'm saying right here a good chunk of examples exist is in a visual medium as it's easy to reach such an audience, very few examples exist in pictureless books unless it's a large series. Another thing you will notice that a majority that you might've heard about are usually cute or sexy or other wise attractive girls.
That is not always the case as well written characters with little screen time do get fan adoration. Or a well liked actor could be behind the character. I should make a video based on my findings.
The general point is that these fan favorites are not usually in the spotlight as much as main characters, in very rare instances its a main character that doesn't get enough attention.
Boba Fett, 2/3 of his lines were him asking about his money, he was smart enough to follow Han Solo.
Everyone in this shot has a following and only Boba Fett is in more than one scene, him and the rest have their own stories later. Their costumes were made up of spare props. Remember how I said visuals? They just look cool.
From left to right. Dengar (Morris Bush, Simon Pegg VA), IG-88 (constructed by Bill Hargreaves and Steve Short), Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch and John Morton, voiced Jason Wingreen, over-dubbed by Temuera Morrison), Bossk (Alan Harris, Dee Bradley Baker VA), 4-LOM (Chris Parsons), Zuckuss (Cathy Munro)
I shamelessly bought the LEGO set that had 4/6 of them.
