Plot
On the planet Kaut a year prior to the Battle Of Geonosis, a lone cloaked figure wanders into a small colony. When the leader of the colonists, Larbo emerges to see what is happening, the young Boba Fett hurls a Thermal Detonator and flees into one of the tents. As Chaos ensues Jango Fett arrives to slaughter the scattered prey. When approached by two gun men, he produces a Flick knife from one of his gauntlets and, presumibly, slits their throats. He then hunts down the other Colonists.

Larbo finds Boba cowering in the corner of his tent and holds him at gunpoint to interrigate him. He is horrified to learn the young boy is the Bounty Hunters son. Jango, having finished assasinating the remaining members of the camp tracks down Boba and demands Larbo releases his son and slashes his way through the tents canopy. A disgusted Larbo asks what kind of man would use his own son a bait, and Boba replies "Only a son can know his father's heart". Jango siezes Boba and throws a Thermal Detonator into the tent before escaping with the boy.

Jango and Boba leave the planet in Slave 1, and the Bounty Hunter confirms to Count Dooku that his mission was accomplished. The Ruling Families can now commence with building factories for the Trade Federation and the Sith Lords other allies.

On Boba's first training mission he learns an important lesson - that a warrior must surpress all emotion to succeed.
