In this article you will learn:
Boba Fett is a ruthless bounty hunter clone Mandalore from the Star Wars universe. For the first time, a famous hero appeared in the movie “Attack of the Clones” as a little boy clone. His story is filled with Legends and only a small part of the Canon (original story).
Boba was created on the planet Kamino around 32 BBY, at the request of Jango Fett ten years before the Clone Wars. Django wanted an heir, which he received in the form of a young clone boy, unlike other clones, who were made exclusively as adults.
The boy grew up under the supervision of Fett, who took care of him like his own son. In addition to Django, Boba was looked after by the hunter Zam Wesell and the Kaminoan Ton Vee, who was considered the boy's adoptive mother.
Boba didn't go to school and got most of his knowledge from travel and books. He gained combat skills by training with adult clones.
Little Fett almost everywhere followed his father, who carried out dangerous missions, hired by Darth Tyranus known as.
Attack of the Clones (Canon)
In "Attack of the Clones" we first see Boba, played by Daniel Logan.
Boba was about 10 years old when a Jedi flew to Kamino to investigate the assassination attempt on Naboo senator Django. Then Kenobi and the Jedi Council learned about the creation of a clone army for the Republic.
Django and Boba hurriedly left the planet on the Slave 1 ship. There was also a small battle with the Jedi, which ended in a draw.
Boba and his father went to Geonosis, to their employer Dooku., trying to shake off the stubborn Kenobi from the tail. On the planet, a mercenary and a son witnessed the start of the Clone Wars. When separatists opposed to the Republic attempted to execute captured Jedi Kenobi and Senator Amidala, Geonosis was invaded by clone troops.
Boba watched his father from afar and saw how the bounty hunter, having fought with the master, was defeated and lost his head. After the fight between the Separatists and Republic clones left the Arena, Boba was finally able to come out of hiding and retrieve his father's helmet. He swore revenge on Windu.
"Maybe I would have grown up to be a nice guy if the Jedi hadn't cut off my father's head right in front of me!"
Becoming a bounty hunter (Legends)
The death of his father was a shock to the young Fett. The fact that he was left alone, the boy blamed the Jedi Order, especially Master Windu. The desire to get even with the Jedi led Boba to team up with the bounty hunters Bossk, Aurra Sing, and Castas.
To begin with, Boba was introduced into a brigade of young clones who worked alongside Anakin Skywalker and Windu, but nothing came of it. All attempts to kill the master ended in failure.
Along with Aurra, Bob was shot down by the Steadfast Star Destroyer., taking hostages and demanding Windu's appearance. When Sing killed Kastas' companion, Boba finally saw how cruel she was and repented of her deed, however, it was too late, since the Jedi Plo Koon and the Padawans sat on Fett's trail.
After Fett's arrest, Kun found out from him the whereabouts of the hostages that Tano had freed. Along with Bossk, Boba was sent to prison on Coruscant. There, the boy met Windu personally, to whom he told about his hatred for the master and regret for what he had done.
In 21 BBY, Boba managed to escape from prison. He traveled to Tatooine, where he was recruited by Jabba the Hutt in return for a debt to his father.
In 19 BBY, the hero learned that Windu had died. At the same time, the Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire.
In 15 BBY, Fett decided to start a "normal life", whereupon he married a bounty hunter, Sintas Vel. The girl gave birth to a daughter from Boba whom she named - Eileen. Unfortunately, Fett had to leave his family.
In 5 BBY, Boba received an order for Han Solo. but he managed to get away.
At this time, the mercenary also performed some tasks from. Among the orders from the Sith Lord was an investigation into the death of Padmé Amidala.
The Empire Strikes Back (Canon)
An adult Boba's subsequent hunt was to capture the elusive Han Solo. Fett followed him everywhere until Darth Vader gathered mercenaries who could track his ship's movement. Boba was the only one who succeeded and along with Vader, he set a trap for the Falcon on Bespin.
Solo was frozen in carbonite and, by agreement, given to a mercenary. Finally, the smuggler was caught and Boba went to Tatooine to Jabba.
For Solo, Fett received 250,000 credits instead of 100,000.
“This little sculpture is Han Solo? No. What I brought back is art, art created by the Dark Lord who used Solo as a material."
The Hutt asked Fett to stay at the palace in case the captain's friends came for him.
Return of the Jedi (Canon)
Boba appeared in the 6th film, where his role was quite small.
As Jabba expected, his friends came to save Khan, and who were also captured. Princess Leia was given to Boba as a concubine, but Fett refused her due to moral reasons.
Boba was left behind for the execution of his friends in the Carkoon Gap, trying to convince Jabba to hand over Skywalker to him. After the refusal of the Hutt, the mercenary decided to save Luke, and then deliver to Vader.
During the execution, the captives managed to free themselves and virtually destroy all of Jabba's apprentices, including himself. Himself, Boba, in a fight with Solo, fell into a sarlacc pit and was presumed dead.
Afterlife (Legends)
After killing the sarlacc with a missile, Boba was saved.
He was in the shadows for a long time, as everyone considered him dead, but when an impostor appeared, Boba was forced to appear in order to deal with the villain who appropriated his name and achievements.
Soon, Fett replaced as head of the Mandalore“Fenna Shisu, on the planet Mandalore.
In 24 ABY, Boba made a deal with Nom Anor (the Yuuzhan Vong), not realizing who he really was.
When, in 25 ABY, a bloody war broke out with the Yuuzhan Vong, a previously unknown race, Boba decided not to terminate the treaties and ingratiate himself with the invaders in order to find out their weaknesses. Fett secretly passed on information to the New Republic, however, his efforts were not appreciated.
The Mandalorians managed to work for the enemy for a long time, sending intelligence to the Republic, until they were figured out in 29 ABY. Boba, along with his people, managed to inhabit such planets as Ord Mantell, Tolatin and Gyndin. As a result, the war was ended with a victory by common efforts.
In 40 ABY, at the age of 73, Boba learned that he was seriously ill and had two years left to live. Before Fett died, he decided to find his daughter Eileen and pick a new leader to take his place.
Looking for a daughter Boba was sad to learn that she had been killed by Han Solo's son -. Now this Jedi has become the number one target for the mercenary. Despite the sad news Boba found out that he has a granddaughter Mitra Gev, who herself found him and tried to kill him, because he abandoned her grandmother and mother. The grandfather and granddaughter, who became a bounty hunter, reconciled, after which they reburied the body of Jango Fett and Eileen on Mandalore.
Soon, Fett was cured with a bone marrow transplant. Upon learning what was happening to Jacen Solo, who had become a Sith Lord, Fett sent Khan a sympathetic gift, alluding to his son.
Together with his granddaughter, Boba found out that his wife Sintas was still alive and brought her back to Mandalore. In exchange for the lost years, Fett gave his wife a pendant that contained all the codes for the hunter's vast property.
After a while, Khan's daughter flew to the planet, who wanted to learn from Fett how to kill the Jedi, because she wanted to kill her brother Sith.
"Fett, you can teach me how to destroy the Jedi. You did it quite often."
Jaina became very good friends with Meetra and helped Fett's Mandalorians in several military operations, becoming their friend in arms. Although Jaina became friends with the people of Boba, he treated her strictly and rudely, as he did not see the difference between the Jedi and the Sith.
After Solo's victory over her brother, Fett witnessed the wedding of Meetra, who married the Mandalorian Gas Orade.
Remembering the name Fett, Star Wars fans immediately associate it with the character of Boba Fett. Then who is Jango Fett and why is he not as popular as Boba? We answer these and other questions in our special article about the heroes of the Star Wars universe.
general information
The character of Jango Fett in Star Wars is considered the most desperate and dangerous mercenary. Amazing physical skills, cold prudence and quick wits give him a significant advantage over any opponent. Fett's face and body are always hidden behind sleek armored gear, complete with concealed folding blades, multiple pistols, snares, and other weapons.
Another main distinguishing feature of Jango Fett's skin is a special jetpack with rocket salvos.
Character biography
Jango spent his childhood on the planet Concord Dawn: he, along with his parents and other families, was among the first colonists. After killing his loved ones, Fett joined the Mandalorian warriors, where he began his training under Justin Meril. Having achieved the desired results, Django left the opposition group and joined the bounty hunters.
Soon the entire underworld knew the name of Fett as a first-class mercenary with a brilliant reputation. He began to receive offers from many influential bosses. However, Fett was guided by Mandalorian honor and did not want to fight for the sake of avaricious and greedy employers.
A few years later, a meeting between Jango and Count Dooku took place, during which Fett received a rather interesting offer - to play the role of a donor for an entire army of clones.
The fact is that the mercenary had already encountered the Jedi and defeated them, so his candidacy for donation was considered the most suitable. In addition, Django was involved in several attempts on the life of Senator Amidala. After another failure, Fett eliminated Zam Vesel using a poisoned dart for this purpose. It was from this dart that the clone factory was calculated. Fett had to engage in a difficult but short duel with Obi-Wan, after which he took refuge on Geonosis.
Doom
In his last fight, Jango Fett fought Mace Windu on Geonosis. Before that, the mercenary managed to deal with several Jedi at once, but Master Windu turned out to be much more experienced and stronger than his opponent. With his, he cut off Fett's hand first and then his head.
After Jango's death, his ship and armor passed to Bob Fett, who swore an oath to take revenge on the Jedi.
The connection between Jango Fett and Boba Fett
With the character of Boba Fett, the audience was first introduced to the classic trilogy. Despite the fact that many mistook him for the son of Django, in fact it is not. Boba Fett is an unmodified clone of Jango, being an exact genetic copy of him. When the mercenary agreed to become a donor for Dooku, he demanded not only money, but also his own clone. Django raised him as his own son, teaching young Bob all of his skills, knowledge, and hatred.
Character appearance in Star Wars films and other projects
Jango Fett first appeared on screen in Attack of the Clones, the second film in the prequel trilogy. This was his first and last appearance in the entire film franchise. The audience is introduced to the character through Obi-Wan when he arrives on Kamino investigating the attack on Padmé. A little later in the story, Jango Fett appears on Geonosis, where during the last battle he loses first his arm and then his head. Throughout the film, viewers could see Fett's real face.
In addition, Jango Fett became the main character of the game "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter". The plot of the game affects the time period before the events of "Attack of the Clones".
The image of Jango Fett continues to appear in third-party projects to this day. Basically, these are games created based on the Star Wars movie universe, but there are other projects as well. So, for example, the popular game The Witcher 3 pleased the players with a large number of various references to popular characters. Django Fett and The Witcher are connected by a funny Easter egg on the island of Skellige: not far from the village of Balandare, Geralt meets a mercenary from whom you can get a task. The mercenary introduces himself under the name Django Frett, which is a direct reference to the bounty hunter from Star Wars. The fact that Frett considers himself the best of the best also hints at the image of Django.
A minor character in the Star Wars universe, a bounty hunter from the planet Kamino, a human, a clone. Boba Fett is on the side of the Galactic Empire, collaborating with . Captured a smuggler and froze him in carbonite.
History of creation
The concept of Boba Fett was born from early developments on Darth Vader. The creators of the Star Wars movie saga originally conceived Darth Vader as a space mercenary and bounty hunter. However, this image was transformed along the way and took the form of some kind of galactic fallen knight. The "criminal element" did not come out of Vader, but the ideas and sketches of the time, created by the artist Ralph McQuarrie, formed the basis of the image of Boba Fett.
The character first appears on TV screens in The Star Wars Holiday Special, an animated cutscene that is only 11 minutes long. This insert tells how Luke Skywalker went looking for Han Solo as well. Luke's fighter crashes into a celestial body, and Boba Fett comes to the aid of the hero. The two of them search for Han Solo's ship, only to discover that Boba Fett is a supporter of Darth Vader. Between the heroes there is a skirmish, after which Boba disappears.
After appearing in The Star Wars Holiday Special, the supporting character Boba Fett unexpectedly turned into a fan favorite for his creators, who began to look forward to the appearance of Boba in the film The Empire Strikes Back. The role of Boba was played by British actor Jeremy Bullock, who was replaced in one of the scenes by John Morton. The same Jeremy Bullock plays the role of Boba in the movie Return of the Jedi.
When developing the image, Boba paid special attention to the armor, which they continued to bring to perfection already in the process of filming. Boba's popularity is attributed by many fans to her bright and memorable appearance. At the same time, the hero’s phrases for the entire original Star Wars trilogy are no more than four.
Shot from the movie "Star Wars" In the 2002 film Attack of the Clones, Boba's role is expanded. The audience sees the hero as a child, performed by a young actor from New Zealand, Daniel Logan. Boba's past becomes known. Mandalorian mercenary Jango Fett raises his own clone as the son, giving him the name "Bob". Later, Boba's father is killed by a Jedi, and the hero vows to avenge the death. Boba's father was also played by a New Zealand actor, and the filmmakers gave the Mandalorians features of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
Boba makes another appearance in the 2004 special A New Hope. There, the character appears on the landing pad, where Han Solo is talking to. In the original 1997 version of the film, this scene was cut, Boba Fett was basically absent from it, and Jabba the Hutt looked completely different.
Boba Fett also appears in the Star Wars books. There are even novels where Boba became the main character - "Boba Fett: Fight to Survive" and "Crossfire" by Terry Bisson. Here the hero's past, childhood and Boba's life after the murder of his father are revealed. Boy Bob is lonely, friendless, and driven by a thirst for revenge and a desire to become a bounty hunter. On the planet Raxus Prime, the orphaned hero meets with the Count, the leader of the Separatists. Boba is drawn into the Clone Wars.
There is also a comic book series Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire. And in the Star Wars comic book series, there is an arc "Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead", where a group of mercenaries crack down on Boba, but a mysterious stranger immediately takes revenge.
"Star Wars"
Boba Fett is a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett from the planet Kamino, whom he raised and trained as his son and heir. As a child, Boba did not go to school because he traveled with his father. With Count Dooku, the Sith Lord, young Boba met through the fact that Jango Fett carried out some missions on behalf of Dooku.
During another trip, Jango Fett used his own son as bait, wanting to lure the man he was going to kill into the open. Boba was not at all offended by such a "trick" of his father and continued to remain loyal to Fett Sr.
When Boba was ten years old, he and his father had to flee the planet Kamino because of a Jedi who arrived to investigate the assassination of a senator and discovered a huge clone army created for the Republic. It was safer for the Fetts to be off the planet before the official end of the investigation.
Boba and his father fly to the planet Geonosis, but Obi-Wan hunts down the heroes. The Fett attempted to throw Obi-Wan off his tail in the asteroid belt, but the maneuver failed and the Jedi followed unnoticed. On Geonosis, a skirmish ensues between the Jedi who have come to save "their own" and the Republic's fighters. Jedi Mace Windu decapitated Boba's father right in front of the hidden boy. After the battle was over, the hero came out of hiding to retrieve his father's helmet and vowed revenge on the Jedi.
Later, a young Boba Fett becomes disillusioned with Count Dooku and flies off to Tatooine, where he offers his own services as a bounty hunter to Jabba the Hutt. The hero does not forget about his intention to take revenge on the murderer of his father and for this he arranges the collapse of an entire space cruiser. Ultimately, the hero ends up in prison for the assassination attempt, but never kills the Jedi who killed his father.
One of Boba's big "achievements" is the capture of Han Solo. Darth Vader promised a huge reward to anyone who could capture Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. Boba tracked down Solo and informed Vader of his whereabouts. Vader, with a detachment of stormtroopers, arrived on the planet where Han Solo was hiding, and demanded the extradition of the hero.
Having obtained Solo, Vader freezes him in carbonite. The frozen Solo is then given to Boba by Vader, who is going to take Solo to Tatooine and give Jabba the Hutt, whom Solo owes.
On Tatooine, Boba received the coveted reward from the Hutt, and Solo tried to save friends -, and Chewbacca. The Rescuers, however, are themselves captured, and Jabba the Hutt sends Leia as a slave and concubine to Fetta. Here the villain Boba shows high moral stability and refuses to use the princess as a concubine, but keeps her with him so as not to offend Jabba the Hutt.
Later, an enraged Hutt takes Solo and his failed rescuers away to be fed to the sarlacc monster. Fett rides with them and engages Luke in a fight. During the fight, Boba's jetpack is damaged and the hero is trapped inside the sarlacc. However, Boba survives, kills the sarlacc with a rocket and gets out.
In the films of the Star Wars series, Boba Fett is not given much attention, but a detailed biography of the hero can be found in books on the Star Wars universe. The character of the hero is also revealed more fully in the books, while in the movie, Boba appears as a secondary evil character. In the cinema, without a helmet or mask, the hero can only be seen by a child.

During the later years of the Republic, Jango Fett was considered the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. He wore a shiny armored helmet that hid the scars on his face. Django was a marksman and a master hand-to-hand combatant, and he always carried an arsenal of weapons with him, including knives in armlets, snares, two blasters, and other more exotic devices.
In combat, Jango used a jetpack to gain an advantage in speed and height. Django could also give enemies a nasty surprise by firing a powerful missile from his backpack. Django traveled the galaxy in a battered ship called the Slave I.
Some time before the start of the Clone Wars, Fett was contacted by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Count Dooku, and, calling himself Tyranus, offered Jango to become a donor for the clone army, which was being created on Kamino. Fett agreed, but also demanded one clone from the Kaminoans without any genetic modifications. He began to raise his clone as his own son, and named him Bob.
Late in his life, Django participated in assassination attempts on Senator Padmé Amidala. He was eventually tracked down by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who flew to Fett on Kamino. Django and Boba hurriedly left the planet and flew to Count Dooku on Geonosis. A battle between the Republic and the Separatists soon took place there, during which Jango Fett was killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu.

legends
Birth and childhood
The hero was born in 66 BBY, on the agricultural planet of Concord Down in the Mandalore sector, to the Fett family. Django had a sister, Arla.
As a child, Jango witnessed the murder of his parents when civil war broke out on the planet and his father sheltered the True Mandalorians in his home.
The Death Watch, led by Thor Vizsla, killed Fett's parents and took his sister hostage. Django miraculously managed to escape by hiding. He helped the Mandalorians and they took the boy with them.
Wanting revenge, Django participated in an ambush on Death Watch, where he blew up a tank and shot the murderer of his parents.
Sister Arla, was a prisoner for a long time, but ended up in a mental hospital on Coruscant.
The Mandalorian
Young Fett
Django remained among the Mandalorians, where he was raised and trained by leader Jasper Mereel. The hero spent his entire youth in training.
As an adult, Django became the leader of the Django Grunts squad. His first mission was to distract a group of thugs, but the enemy turned out to be much larger than expected. In this mess, Fett's mentor Mereel, abandoned by his colleague Montross, died.
Django managed to reach the rally point with the dead leader in his arms, after which he blamed Montross for everything, forcing him to go into exile, and he himself became the leader of the True Mandalorians.
As leader, Jango continued Mereel's work by taking orders across the galaxy.
Django and Mereel
The real problem for Fett was Thor Vizsla, who was trying to rebuild the Death Watch and accusing the Mandalorians of robbery and murder. He even called in the Jedi to deal with them.
When the Jedi led by Padawan Komari Vosa arrived at Jango's camp, Fett was furious at Vizsla and ordered them to open fire.
All the Mandalorians were killed in this fight. Enraged, Django did what made him famous - he defeated six Jedi with his bare hands. However, the outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion. Fett is the only survivor.
Slavery and revenge
Django was sold into slavery and for a very long time he was a slave on a ship carrying spices. His captivity lasted until the ship was attacked by pirates.
After fleeing, Fett went to the site of the last battle in search of his armor and revenge. After finding the armor, Django set out to find Vizsla. He found it on the Deathrattle ship after getting into a fight. The end of the battle took place on the planet Corellia, where Fett was hit with a poisonous blade, and the wounded Vizsla was torn to pieces by wild cats.
After the death of their leader, Vizla's Death Watch went missing, ending the civil war at Concorde Down.
Canon
Head hunter
The plot of Canon begins with the first film where the hero appeared, in the movie “Attack of the Clones” (In the film, actor Temuera Morrison played his role), but there is a little backstory of Django, how he actually signed up to create an army of clones and became a legendary hunter.
After the end of the war, Fett left the Mandalorians, becoming a renowned bounty hunter.
Django was a famous bounty hunter in the underworld of the Galaxy. He was the embodiment of strength, dexterity and prudence.
In the fight against the enemy, Fett used a sleek armored helmet and armored suit.
In 32 BBY, a famous hunter received a tempting job offer. A certain man named Tyranus, for a huge sum, offered him to hunt the former Jedi Komari Vos, who was one of those who destroyed Fett's team, and now put together the Bando Gora criminal organization.
“Congratulations, Jango Fett. I am Tyranus. I have a suggestion for you. You are one of those selected to participate in a special hunt for special prey. If you succeed, your reward will be expressed in five million republic credits.”
In his long search for Komari and her organization, Fett met a hunter named Zam Wesell and purchased a new vessel, the Slave I, to replace the destroyed Jaster Legacy.
Another hunter with whom Django was destined to clash was an old acquaintance, Montross. He tracked him on his way to the Bogdan system, where Bando Gora was located, and attacked. Fett came out victorious in this battle.
After finding Vosa, Django was captured. Komari inflicted many scars on his face, trying to make him her slave, but Zam Wesell saved the hunter in time. Together they defeated the fallen Jedi. Django could have killed Komari, but he didn't, instead it was done by his employer, who was in the room - Darth Tyranus, who is the former teacher of Vosa - Dooku.
Tyranus was amazed by Fett's ability to fight and kill the Jedi. All this was just a test for Django, who was offered much more than 5 million credits. The hunter was asked to become a donor for the creation of an army of clones, which in due course will need to fulfill "Order 66".
attack of the clones
Fett agreed, going to Kamino, where replicas of him were created.
At the request of Django, another clone was created without genetic modifications, which the mercenary dubbed . He raised him as his own son and hoped that he would someday lead the True Mandalorians.
In 22 BBY, Dooku ordered a mercenary to kill Senator Amidala. Fett assigned this task to an old acquaintance, Zam Wesell. After two unsuccessful assassination attempts, Zam was caught by Obi-Wan Kenobi, after which Jango had to kill her with a poison dart.
In 22 BBY, Jango attended a performance by Darth Tyranus on the planet Geonosis with his son. A sudden attack by the Jedi forced Fett to once again fight against powerful enemies. He managed to hit several Jedi when he was attacked by . Mace was much faster than Django, causing the famed hunter to lose his head.
After that, Boba hated all the Jedi and vowed to kill Mace Windu.
