'''Boba Fett''' is one of the villains in several Star Wars movies, as well as in the whole franchise. He appears as a intermissions boss in [[Jedi Academy]].
'''Boba Fett''' is a deadly bounty hunter first introduced in the film ''Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back''. He appears in ''[[Dark Forces]]'' and ''[[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]''.


==Personality==
==History==
Boba Fett was born and raised by his father Jango, also a bounty hunter, on the planet of Kamino. Fett the elder was used by count Dooku as the prime subject for future clones after he passed several tests in eliminating the dangerous extremist clan. The clones were created, based on the DNA of Jango Fett, but altered identities and growing time. As a reward he would ask the Kaminoans to create an unaltered clone for himself - a son, who would continue his lineage.
A faceless enforcer, Boba Fett's distinctive armor strikes fear in the hearts of fugitives. He is a legendary bounty hunter, accepting warrants from both the Empire and the criminal underworld. He is all business, laconic, and deadly.


Chased by a Jedi Obi Wan Kenobi Jango and Boba would hide on Geonosis, a planet in league with the separatists. When a large battle erupted between the Republic and the separatists, Jango was killed in a duel against the Jedi Mace Windu. Boba witnessed his father's death at the arena and would develop a strong hatred towards all Jedi knights, spending the next years of his life almost alone. He would be spotted occasionally during the Clone Wars, sometimes assisted by Aurra Sing and Bossk in some missions.
Fett has carefully guarded his past, cultivating a curtain of mystery around his origins. He is in truth a clone, an exact genetic replica of his highly skilled "father," Jango Fett. From Jango, Boba learned valuable survival and martial skills, and even as a child he was proficient with a blaster or laser cannon.


By the time of Battle for Yavin IV, Boba would be working for Jabba the Hutt and wear a Mandalorian helmet - just like his father - at all times. During this time however he would take some tasks from the Empire as well, such as tracking down Millennium Falcon. Some time later he would assist Darth vader in capturing the Rebels on [[Bespin]], and as part of his assignment he takes Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, to his employer Jabba the Hutt on [[Tatooine]].
Fett was raised in isolation in the hermetic cities of Kamino, where he was protected not only from the ceaseless storms, but also the harsher elements of his father's career. Young Boba's life changed when a tenacious Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, came looking for his father. Sent to apprehend the bounty hunter for the attempted assassination of a Naboo Senator, Kenobi brawled with Jango as the Fetts sought to escape from Kamino. Young Boba helped his father by pinning the Jedi down with explosive laser fire from the Fett starship, Slave I.


Year later [[Luke Skywalker]] would come to Tatooine to save Han, and during the execution ceremony Boba would try ti kill Luke, however his jetpack would be jammed and the bounty hunter fell into the maw of the ferocious Sarlacc in the Dune Sea.
Fleeing from Kamino, the Fetts journeyed to Geonosis, where Jango's benefactor resided. Boba watched as his father's enemies were sentenced to death, but Jedi prove very hard to kill. A huge battle erupted as Jedi reinforcements stormed Geonosis to free their fellow Jedi. Jango entered the fray, only to be killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Boba was shocked to witness his father's swift death, and he quietly cradled Jango's empty helmet as Geonosis erupted into all-out war.


While many believed Boba Fett died that day, he eventually made his way out of the beast and continue his career as a bounty hunter.
Over the years and during the time of the Empire, Boba developed a reputation as the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter. He wore a customized Mandalorian armor reminiscent of his father’s, beat up from his many jobs, and piloted the fearsome Slave I starship. He became one of Jabba the Hutt’s go-to mercenaries, and was present during a tense meeting between the gangster and Han Solo on [[Mos Eisley]].


==Appearances==
Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Darth Vader desperately wanted to capture the fugitive Rebel craft, the Millennium Falcon. To that end, he hired a motley assortment of bounty hunters, including the legendary Fett. Vader specifically pointed out to Fett that the Falcon's passengers were to be taken alive. "No disintegrations," rumbled the Dark Lord, obviously familiar with Fett's reputation.
===In JA===
Boba Fett is encountered by [[Jaden Korr]], a Jedi on a mission to [[Ord Mantell]] to destroy the old stocks of ammo and weapons in the abandoned city. The bounty hunter would try to stop the Jedi using his blaster and jetpack, often halting the Force attacks with his flamethrower. Upon the destruction of weapons, Jaden would defeat Fett, making the bounty hunter leave the battle, regretting, there was no bounty on a Jedi.


==In other stories==
It was Fett who successfully tracked the Falcon from [[Hoth]] to [[Bespin]]. Arriving at the gas giant before the Falcon, Fett and Vader sprung a trap on the ship's hapless crew. Fett, a shrewd negotiator, received his bounty for capturing the crew, but also was given custody of Han Solo. The bounty hunter was set to collect the reward on Solo's head placed there by the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.
Boba Fett proved to be a favorite villain among fans. For many years many people guessed, who was truly behind the mask, but the face wasn't revealed until the release of Episode II. Before that many authors were given orders not to use Boba Fett in any of the novels, as Lucasarts had some special plans on him. However he did appear in a few titles, such as Dark Forces I and Shadows of the Empire.
 
Whisking the carbonite-frozen form of Han Solo away from Bespin, Fett eventually arrived on [[Tatooine]] aboard his starship, the Slave I. Fett delivered Solo to Jabba, his some-time employer, and was many thousands of credits richer. Fett stayed at Jabba's palace, and was present when Solo's friends attempted to rescue the carbon-frozen smuggler.
 
Jabba, enraged at the attempted prison break, brought his captives out to the Tatooine desert, to execute them in the Great Pit of Carkoon. In the sandpit lay the immense Sarlacc, a vile creature that would digest its prey over thousands of years. Rather than let themselves be thrown in the Sarlacc's maw, Solo's friends, led by [[Luke Skywalker]], fought against their captors. In the chaos that followed, Fett entered the fray.
 
Solo, free of the carbonite and suffering blindness from hibernation sickness, wildly swung a vibro-ax into an inattentive Fett's rocketpack. The pack activated, and the bounty hunter soared into the air, out of control. The airborne Fett slammed into the side of Jabba's sail barge before tumbling into the Sarlacc's mouth. With a sickly belch from the desert creature, it seemed as if Fett's career as the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter was brought to an end.

History

A faceless enforcer, Boba Fett's distinctive armor strikes fear in the hearts of fugitives. He is a legendary bounty hunter, accepting warrants from both the Empire and the criminal underworld. He is all business, laconic, and deadly.

Fett has carefully guarded his past, cultivating a curtain of mystery around his origins. He is in truth a clone, an exact genetic replica of his highly skilled "father," Jango Fett. From Jango, Boba learned valuable survival and martial skills, and even as a child he was proficient with a blaster or laser cannon.

Fett was raised in isolation in the hermetic cities of Kamino, where he was protected not only from the ceaseless storms, but also the harsher elements of his father's career. Young Boba's life changed when a tenacious Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, came looking for his father. Sent to apprehend the bounty hunter for the attempted assassination of a Naboo Senator, Kenobi brawled with Jango as the Fetts sought to escape from Kamino. Young Boba helped his father by pinning the Jedi down with explosive laser fire from the Fett starship, Slave I.

Fleeing from Kamino, the Fetts journeyed to Geonosis, where Jango's benefactor resided. Boba watched as his father's enemies were sentenced to death, but Jedi prove very hard to kill. A huge battle erupted as Jedi reinforcements stormed Geonosis to free their fellow Jedi. Jango entered the fray, only to be killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu. Boba was shocked to witness his father's swift death, and he quietly cradled Jango's empty helmet as Geonosis erupted into all-out war.

Over the years and during the time of the Empire, Boba developed a reputation as the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter. He wore a customized Mandalorian armor reminiscent of his father’s, beat up from his many jobs, and piloted the fearsome Slave I starship. He became one of Jabba the Hutt’s go-to mercenaries, and was present during a tense meeting between the gangster and Han Solo on Mos Eisley.
