Boba Fett was the unaltered clone of Jango Fett, a human male Mandalorian bounty hunter who raised Boba as his son during the Republic Era. Fett emulated his genetic donor, whom he regarded as his father, by wearing a customized suit of Mandalorian armor. His personal starship was Slave I, a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft that once belonged to Jango. Trained in combat and martial skills from a young age, Fett was one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy during the Imperial Era. He became a legend over the course of his career, which included contracts for both the Galactic Empire and the extensive criminal underworld.

Boba was created on the planet Kamino as a result of Jango Fett’s arrangement with the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, who hired the mercenary during the final years of the Galactic Republic. In exchange for becoming the template of an army of clone troopers, Jango was given an unaltered clone, Boba, that he treated as a son. During the last days of the Separatist Crisis, Boba and Jango retreated to Geonosis where the latter was killed in battle by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Although Boba sought vengeance for Jango’s demise, his efforts to assassinate Windu proved unsuccessful, and Boba was made to serve time in prison on Coruscant. When his incarceration ended, Fett took up bounty hunting as a profession, working alongside other hunters such as Bossk, Dengar, and Asajj Ventress.

After the Clone Wars ended with the Galactic Empire rising to power, Fett continued to make a name for himself, working for the Hutt gangster Jabba Desilijic Tiure as well as the Sith Lord Darth Vader. During the Galactic Civil War, Fett transported Captain Han Solo to Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine. He tried to prevent Solo’s rescue by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, only to fall into the Great Pit of Carkoon when Solo accidentally slammed a pole into Fett’s jetpack. Although Fett survived his ordeal with the man-eating sarlacc, his armor was sold to Cobb Vanth by Jawa scavengers. He eventually regained it by confronting Din Djarin, the Mandalorian who took Fett’s armor from Vanth. After helping Djarin to rescue the foundling Grogu, Fett returned to Tatooine where he killed Bib Fortuna and claimed the late Jabba’s throne with Fennec Shand by his side.
