"I see why they call you the best bounty hunter in the galaxy."

- Darth Vader

Boba Fett was an unaltered clone&mdash;the "son"&mdash;of Jango Fett. Boba would become perhaps the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Orphaned at a young age, Boba lived through the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, surviving both, yet never allying outright with either the Galactic Republic, the Separatists, the Galactic Empire, or the Rebel Alliance. He was once married to Sintas Vel, and had a daughter named Ailyn Vel. Fett later abandoned his young family of wife and daughter in order to return to bounty hunting.

After the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War, Fett would become the leader of the Mandalorians. As of 40 ABY, Boba Fett took a more active role as Mandalore and sought to rebuild the House of Mandalore along with his granddaughter, Mirta Gev.

Creation
When the bounty hunter Jango Fett agreed to be the prime clone of the Kaminoan clone army being built for the Galactic Republic, he requested an unaltered clone in addition to his payment. Unlike Fett's other clones, this one&mdash;whom Fett named Boba&mdash;had no genetic alterations, such as those that increased docility and growth rate. Boba was born in a clone incubator on Kamino in 31.5 BBY.

Raised by Jango
"A warrior must stay focused, alert, and ready for anything. He must never let anything sway him from his mission."

- Jango Fett, giving lessons to Boba

Jango raised Boba on Kamino as his own son. He kept a sparse apartment in Tipoca City where he could raise Boba safely, far from the dangers of his professional life. When Jango went offplanet to hunt his bounties, Boba was taken care of by Kaminoan aide Taun We or the droid MU-12. Fett often missed his father in these times, asking MU-12 when he would return. When Jango did come home, Boba would beg him not to leave again. Jango would remind Boba that he loved him and, when he got the opportunity, made time to spend with his son.

Fett enjoyed playing with action figures, with which he pretended to stage battles between the Mandalorians and Trade Federation, or perform mock fights between starships. When his father was home, the two of them would often play starships with each other or play ball outside. It was on one such occasion that Zam Wesell arrived on Kamino to speak with Jango and met Boba. After Boba introduced himself, Jango ushered his son back inside so he and Wesell could discuss business.

Fett was routinely trained by his father in the use of bounty hunting equipment, including armor and starship systems, and he was well-versed in fighting stances. Jango taught his son by example, training him to understand the value of training, weapons, and good judgment. Jango also taught Boba self-reliance and confidence in his own skills. He trusted his son to be discrete and allowed him to be present for important meetings.

Boba would sometimes go into combat with Jango, learning from Jango's actions. His first mission took place in 23 BBY, when Jango took him on a mission to Kuat to eliminate a group of anarchists who posed a thread to Kuat's ruling families. Fett was sent into the anarchists' camp ahead of his father; he ran in, pretending to be a stray child, and was taken before their leader Larbo. Fett surprised them by announcing that his father was coming, and with that threw a thermal detonator into their midst. In the confusion, Fett escaped into a tent, and as Jango appeared on the edge of the camp and began shooting, Larbo followed Boba in and held him at gunpoint. When Boba announced that his father was Jango Fett, Larbo became terrified and began pleading with Boba, telling him of his people's plight and begging to be let go. As Jango appeared outside their tent, Larbo took Boba hostage. Boba was able to escape the man's grip, and Jango grabbed him as he threw another thermal detonator into the tent and rocketed away. Later, once again aboard the Slave I, Jango informed his benefactor Count Dooku of his success, emphasizing Boba's skills during the mission. Boba had doubts about the rightness of their mission, but Jango assured him that their loyalty to their client was paramount above all else. Boba realized at that point that he truly wanted to follow in Jango's footsteps.

Encounter with Kenobi
Ten years after Fett's birth, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi came to Kamino. Fett immediately knew Kenobi was trouble. After a fight with Kenobi, Jango and Boba fled to Geonosis, where they escaped the Jedi in that world's asteroid ring.

The Battle of Geonosis
Other Jedi soon came to Geonosis, and Jango Fett was killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu in the petranaki arena. Boba left the planet in Jango's ship Slave I.

Bounty hunter (19 BBY&mdash;2 BBY)
Fett, with his father's natural abilities and ship, and the armor of his Jango's mentor Jaster Mereel, was prepared to become the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter.

Competition and allies
On several of Fett's early missions, he teamed up with D'harhan, a cyborg with a laser cannon in place of a head.

Fett became aware that there others with Mandalorian armor in the galaxy. Supercommandos Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa remained in the vicinity of the planet Mandalore, and did not interfere with Fett's work. Jodo Kast, on the other hand, competed with Fett, often using his own Mandalorian armor to capitalize on Fett's reputation.

The Boonta race
Fett participated in a speeder race against Jord Dusat and Thall Joben on Boonta.

Encounter on Jubilar
Fett first encountered Han Solo while working for Jabba the Hutt on Jubilar. Solo's victory in that world's Free-For-All fight left an lasting impression on Fett.

The hunt for Han Solo
Around 4 BBY, the high priest of Ylesia Teroenza hired Fett to capture Solo in revenge for a humiliation that had been inflicted on him. Fett captured Solo on Nar Shaddaa. Lando Calrissian, however, arrived just in time to find Solo under gunpoint. Calrissian able to free Solo, place Fett under the influence of obedience drugs, and send him away in Slave I. Jabba eventually convinced Fett to drop the Solo bounty, though the bounty hunter retained a hatred for Calrissian.

Fett later went on a hunt for Bria Tharen, who he eventually tracked to a passenger liner. This hunt, however, was also foiled by Calrissian. Only a large payment convinced Fett to leave without retribution.

The cask of Abal Karda
Not long before the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader hired Fett to hunt down Abal Karda, an Imperial deserter. Fett soon discovered, however, that Vader's true goal was a cask belonging to Karda, which held the disembodied, yet living, head of an Icarii soothsayer. Fett and Vader fought for the cask on Maryx Minor, with Vader barely winning.

The High Priest
In the weeks before the Battle of Yavin, Fett took on a bounty for Teroenza, the Ylesian High Priest he had worked for before. Fett killed the priest in his sanctuary on Ylesia moments before the man was to kill Han Solo and Bria Tharen. Fett, however, pointed out that the rescue meant nothing and was only business.

The Yavin Vassilika
Shortly after the events on Ylesia, Fett competed with Han Solo in a search for the treasure known as the Yavin Vassilika.

Encounter on Dargulli
"Just remember that that guy had a shot on you. You were outnumbered, and I helped you." "Perhaps you're simply shrewder at reading the odds than you give yourself credit."

- Boba Fett and Darth Vader

Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Fett visited the world of Dargulli. In one of the local cantinas, Fett joined a card game with other bounty hunters, joining a discussion on whether they would take a bounty for the Rebellion. They were interrupted when a man burst in, shouting that Darth Vader was on Dargulli alone, and several other freelancers were trying to kill him. Fett joined the crowd rushing out of the cantina.

As Fett arrived, he drew on the Dark Lord, but as he saw Vader slice down several other hunters with his lightsaber, he changed sides. A man near Fett had a bead on Vader, and Fett turned and shot him, then joined Vader at his side, shooting down the other assailants. The two of them eliminated the group, only to be joined by another party: a young woman with a lightsaber who wanted to join the Sith, and was in fact the reason Vader had come to Dargulli. Fett kept his gun trained on her as Vader spoke with her. When she was done making her offer to be Vader's apprentice, Fett suggested they leave before more arrived to take down Vader. Vader agreed and killed the woman. Fett reminded Vader that he had covered his back, Vader suggested that he had simply read the odds correctly, and the two parted ways.

In Jabba's employ
After the search for the Vassilika, Fett remained working for Jabba. When Jabba visited Docking Bay 94 in Mos Eisley, Fett and several other bounty hunters went with him. They provided a silent threat as the crimelord threatened Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca. Jabba soon posted a large bounty on Solo, but Fett had other business to worry about.

The Bounty Hunters' Guild plot
Months after the Battle of Yavin, Fett took a job for Kud'ar Mub'at, a middleman, to join the Bounty Hunters' Guild and destroy it from the inside. When Guild members Zuckuss and Bossk went after Nil Posondum, Fett outwitted and embarrassed the two, then said he wished to join the Guild. Bossk was hostile to Fett, but Guild leader Cradossk accepted him.

Fett, Zuckuss, Bossk, Cradossk, and IG-88 launched a mission against the Shell Hutts of Circumtore, during which Fett's former companion D'harhan and Cradossk were killed. With Cradossk's death, the guild divided along age lines and began warring amongst itself. Zuckuss and Bossk teamed up with Fett shortly thereafter to capture Imperial defector Trhin Voss'on't, but Fett again outsmarted them to take the bounty.

Fett later learned that the plan to destroy the Guild had been masterminded by Prince Xizor of Black Sun, with the backing of Emperor Palpatine.

The Arrandas
Six months after Yavin, Fett killed Cornelius Evazan on Necropolis, where the doctor had been experimenting in reanimating the dead. On that world he encountered the siblings Zak and Tash Arranda, and their Shi'ido guardian.

Only months later, he was sent after the trio by Darth Vader. Fett followed them as far as Dagobah, but upon encountering a group of shipwrecked cannibals, he was forced to leave without his bounty.

The Panna encounter
On a water-covered moon in the Panna system, Fett attempted to capture Luke Skywalker for Vader, but failed.

Mission to Ota
"That's the trouble with you Rebels&hellip;you waste time talking!"

- Boba Fett, to Luke Skywalker

When Vader placed a bounty to capture Mole, a traitor to the Empire, alive, Fett determined to collect on it. Fett tracked Mole to the planet of Ota. When he flew down to the planet in a TIE fighter, however, he was attacked by Luke Skywalker, who disabled Fett's craft with his own X-wing. Fett, attempting to lose Skywalker, dove towards Ota's polar ice cap and flew into its narrow canyons. However, he collided with an overhang, unleashing an avalanche of snow and ice that crashed both starfighters. Fett escaped his own fighter, and as Skywalker approached it, he leaped out and began firing. Skywalker, who did not recognize him, shot back. The two were soon interrupted by the arrival of the native Snogars, who quickly captured the two men with electro stun nets.

The Snogars took the pair to their ice city, where they told Fett and Skywalker why they had been abducted. The Snogars kept themselves warm using a system of machines that had been built in ancient times. No Snogar knew how to work it anymore, though, and with the machinery failing, they needed to capture off-worlders who knew how to fix it. Fett immediately spotted the problem&mdash;an overloaded circuit breaker that had been triggered by a fault within the power generator&mdash;and realized how he could make an escape, while Skywalker convinced the Snogars to untie their hands. When Fett started the generator up again, it began screeching loudly; with that distraction, the two men bolted for the city entrance, where they absconded with a pair of power-sliders to make their escape.

They soon spotted Han Solo, who had come to rescue Skywalker, being ambushed by more Snogars. Fett realized he could cash in on Solo's bounty as well. He pretended to side with Skywalker to rescue Solo, claiming that he only wanted a way off the planet. Solo was taken to the ice city, and Fett and Skywalker followed him. While Han was being ordered to fix the power systems, Fett told Skywalker to stay put and watch his back as he brought Solo out. As Skywalker called out a warning, a group of Snogars jumped Fett, who used his flamethrower to take them down. Fett revealed his identity during the fighting, and Skywalker realized he was going after Solo. Fett beat Skywalker to Solo, though, and prepared to take the smuggler into custody. Solo, however, picked up a Snogar and threw him into Fett, knocking the bounty hunter to the ground. Fett prepared to fire his flamethrower, but at that moment Skywalker swung in on a cable and knocked Fett off balance. Solo then grabbed him and held him fast.

Skywalker and Solo intended to give Fett over to the mob of angry Snogars, who wanted revenge for those of their people who had been killed during the fighting. Fett, however, let loose a jet of liquid at Skywalker from a cannon on his knee and, in the confusion, broke free from Solo's clutches. He then cut a deal with the two Rebels; he would hold the mob at bay with his arsenal for all three of them while he searched for his target, Mole. The Snogars were no longer perturbed by his flamethrower, though, so Fett turned his weapons on something they did care about: the city's power systems. With the source of their heat and light destroyed, the Snogars turned and fled the city. Solo, however, spotted a part of the city still under power, and Fett realized that Mole would be hiding there. He blew open a locked door and ushered Solo and Skywalker in, where they encountered Mole and Chewbacca, whom Mole had found unconscious in Ota's barren snows. Fett placed all four others&mdash;Mole, Chewbacca, Skywalker, and Solo&mdash;under gunpoint and herded them out of the city, intending to take the Millennium Falcon offplanet and turn Mole and Solo over to Vader and Jabba, respectively. Mole managed to surreptitiously activate a console, releasing a cloud of gas that knocked the other four briefly unconscious. Fett recovered and attempted to capture Mole again, but Solo and Skywalker had also come to, and began fighting him. Mole then activated the magnets used by the city's power system, pinning Fett against the wall. Fett ineffectually threatened the group of Rebels, but was unable to free himself from the magnets before they left.

Hunt for Katarn
General Rom Mohc eventually hired Fett to kill the Rebel agent Kyle Katarn. Fett followed Katarn to Coruscant; however, he bungled the kill, and Katarn escaped.

The Vryssa garrison
After failing to kill Katarn, Fett determined to reclaim his reputation. On Vryssa, he eliminated an entire Imperial garrison with no backup to claim a bounty hiding within it. This was considered to be Fett's most incredible feat.

Encounter on Ord Mantell
Shortly before the Battle of Hoth, Fett and several other hunters caught Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, and imprisoned them on Ord Mantell. Fett attempted to get two bounties from the capture, one from Jabba and one from Vader, but his quarry escaped.

Pursuit of Captain Solo
When the Millennium Falcon fled Hoth, Vader hired Fett to find it. Fett beat the other bounty hunters on the Falcon's trail, but the droid IG-88B had used a tracking device to follow him to Cloud City. Fett ambushed IG-88 in one of the city's lower smelting chambers, shooting and paralyzing him with a heavy ion cannon, then blasting him apart with grenades. Fett left the scraps of the droid for the Ugnaughts. He later left Cloud City with Solo encased in a slab of carbonite.

Escaping with Solo
IG-88C and IG-88D, each in their own copy of the starship IG-2000, hurried to Cloud City, only to find Fett had left. Eventually they decided to set their own ambush for Fett. As soon as Fett arrived at Tatooine with Solo, the two IG-88 units attacked his ship. Fett outsmarted them and destroyed both ships, then fled to Gall to make repairs, where Dash Rendar later found him. His fellow bounty hunters made many other attempts to take Solo over the ensuing months, including an attempt by Bossk, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM to disable Slave I and seize its cargo. Fett evaded them all, though, and eventually brought his bounty to Jabba's palace. The crimelord paid him a quarter million credits in return.

Skirmish at Carkoon
Luke Skywalker eventually came to rescue Solo. In the course of his rescue, during a fight above the Great Pit of Carkoon, Fett fell into the mouth of the sarlacc.

After the sarlacc (4 ABY&mdash;23 BBY)
"The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible, Solo."

- Boba Fett, to Han Solo

Escape from the sarlacc
After days of agony, Fett, barely alive, blasted his way out of the sarlacc. The bounty hunter Dengar found him lying in the sand and saved his life. Dengar brought Fett back to health, and in turn Fett agreed to join in a partnership with him.

Fett's right leg was weakened by his time spent within the sarlacc.

Kuat of Kuat
In return for saving his life, Fett let Dengar accompany him in a mission to unearth a conspiracy masterminded by Kuat of Kuat. After his fellow bounty hunter Bossk, thinking Fett to be dead, attempted to take Slave I, Fett stole Bossk's vessel Hound's Tooth and left Slave I on Tatooine. Slave I was eventually taken by the Rebellion and brought to an impound lot on Grakouine, where it remained rusting.

Fett later returned and offered Bossk a substantial amount of money for evidence held within the data banks of a droid, which he needed to unravel the Kuat conspiracy.

Life in secrecy
Fett was believed by most to have died on Tatooine, and the bounty hunter used this to his advantage. He took to traveling in Slave II, a less recognizable ship, and only took jobs from very particular clients. Dengar stayed on with Fett, serving as the hunter's public face. Though those who had business with Fett could contact him, many, including Han Solo, remained unaware of his survival. Fett eventually obtained Slave I again and kept it in orbit above Nar Shaddaa.

The impersonator Kast
"It's called a hologram. This is called a trap. And I'm calling you dead."

- Boba Fett, with a gun to Jodo Kast's head

Fett's secret threatened to be blown when the bounty hunter Jodo Kast began encouraging others to believe he was Fett. Kast, who had his own set of Mandalorian armor, had learned that posing as Fett got him higher bounties, and was capitalizing on this fact. Dengar encountered him on Fluwhaka while chasing a bounty, and after Kast pulled a gun on him, Dengar developed a grudge against the man. He advised Kast that pretending to be Fett was unwise, then sent a message back to Fett to inform him that the impostor had been spotted again and recommend that they eliminate the man.

Fett, meanwhile, was on his way to N'ildwab, where the local warlord Nobam Nol was ruling over the populace by pretending to be a Sith Lord. Fett quickly broke the man's neck, killing him. After accepting a reward from the people of N'ildwab, he moved on to Paquallis III to use those same credits for his next mission: hiring Kast. Calling himself "Sava Brec Madak" and disguising himself by wrapping his body and face in bandages, Fett went to the House of Benelex to speak with representative Cas Ennyl Yllek. "Madak" claimed that another man, Satnik Hiicrop, had been using his name and business, and in doing so had ruined his reputation. He told Yllek that he knew where the man could be found&mdash;an abandoned keep on Nal Hutta&mdash;and wanted Kast to bring Hiicrop to him. After leaving Yllek, Fett met with Dengar, and the two returned to Slave I to prepare to move out. They arrived on Nal Hutta six days before Kast was scheduled to show up and began laying out the traps Fett would use to catch his impersonator.

As soon as Kast entered the keep, the trap was set. The doors slammed behind him, and soon Kast found himself up against laser webs and quamillas, a type of local wildlife that Dengar had rounded up. He eventually made his way to a stairwell where Fett waited in ambush. Kast saw a running figure that he assumed was Hiicrop, but when he approached it, it proved to be merely a hologram. Fett then appeared behind Kast, pressed a blaster to his head, and pronounced him dead. Kast pleaded for his life, appealing to the Code, but Fett reminded him that Kast had broken it first. Fett then demanded Kast remove his helmet. As Kast did, though, he angled his jetpack boosters directly towards Fett and ignited them, driving Fett backwards and himself forward in a burst of flame.

As Kast began shooting back at Fett, Fett dived for cover behind a pillar. Kast attempted to use his jetpack to flee, but Fett roped his leg with his grappling hook, then rocketed himself up to Kast's level. Fett pummeled the other man, damaged his jetpack, then as Kast fell, fired a paralyzing nerve toxin into his neck. Kast crashed to the floor. Fett approached him and removed his helmet, but was shocked to find that Kast was, in his words, "nobody"&mdash;not Tobbi Dala or Fenn Shysa, and unworthy of the armor or reputation he had gained. Fett left behind three vials, one of which held the antidote to the nerve toxin, available to Kast if he could reach them before his rocket pack blew up. Fett knew he would not be able to, however, and as he returned to Dengar in the Slave I, the pack detonated, killing Kast. Fett and Dengar left Nal Hutta.

Bounty on Han Solo
When the reborn Emperor Palpatine began his public campaign against the New Republic, Fett decided to take up a new bounty by the Hutts on Han Solo and his wife, Leia Organa Solo. Solo's friend Mako Spince informed Fett where to find them on Nar Shaddaa, and Fett and Dengar went to Solo's old apartment to lie in wait. When the Solos arrived, they were greeted by Han's droid ZZ-4Z, who informed them that "a Mr. Fett" was there to see them. Fett revealed himself, and explained to Solo that he had escaped the sarlacc and was now hunting him. Solo opened fire and he and his wife fled, with Fett and Dengar in pursuit. The chase carried the four through the city, with other bounty hunters joining Fett and Dengar along the way. When one of Fett's rockets killed the Hutt occupant of a floater, the Solos were able to commandeer it and escape.

As Fett and Dengar reached the nearby Slave II, the Solos reached Salla Zend's vessel Starlight Intruder and left Nar Shaddaa. Fett followed and was able to trace their heading into the Deep Core. Slave II was faster, and Fett arrived at their destination of Byss first. When the Starlight Intruder emerged from hyperspace, Fett dropped in behind them. Though Dengar warned Fett that they would not make it past the security shield around Byss, Fett believed he could follow. He was not quick enough; the shields closed as soon as Starlight Intruder was through, and Slave II collided with them. The ship was wrecked and Solo was lost. Dengar declared that he would never work with Fett again, and so the two men's partnership ended.

Gorga the Hutt
Alone again, Fett took several jobs with Gorga the Hutt.

Solo, again
With the money he received from the Gorga jobs, Fett was able to turn towards the Solo bounty once more. Fett ambushed, and almost caught, Solo in an alley on Nar Shaddaa, but his plan was foiled when Chewbacca ripped off his helmet and sent him rocketing into a durasteel girder.

Fett recovered from the attack and, taking to space in Slave I, waited near a gas cloud. When the Falcon appeared from within the cloud, Fett fired upon it. The Falcon, however, returned fire with its new lightning gun, which melted the Slave I's circuits. Fett was forced to replace it with the Slave III.

The Azgoghk mission
"If you do this, it will not be because of the money. It will be so that all know who is Boba Fett."

- Slique Brighteyes

Fett's recent failures had taken a toll on his reputation. With his fall into the sarlacc and repeated failures to catch Han Solo, people were questioning the skills of the bounty hunter. After Fett's latest embarrassment at the hands of Solo, the Gulmarid Slique Brighteyes came to him with a story and an offer. Brighteyes and his people had been captured by the Imperial dungeon ship Azgoghk, captained by Mir Tork. Tork and his chief scientist Leonis Murthé were dedicated to the philosophy of Human High Culture and did their part to torture and exterminate non-Human species. While the dying Gulmarid had been rescued from the Azgoghk after a Rebel attack, Tork had reclaimed the vessel and fled. Brighteyes wanted justice for his people by the death of the two Imperials, and he had come to Fett.

When Brighteyes announced the price of one hundred credits, Fett felt that he was being mocked, and threatened the Gulmarid with his blaster. However, Brighteyes pointed out to him that his reputation was even more important; taking down Tork and Murthé was said to be impossible, except for Fett. Brighteyes informed him that if he took the job, it would not be for money, but to prove he was still the same Boba Fett. Fett accepted, and Brighteyes provided him with the location of the Azgoghk and information on its weaknesses.

When the Azgoghk landed on Malicar 3, Fett was waiting with a large ion cannon emplacement. He opened fire on a weak point in the dungeon ship, burning out its engines and knocking the ship over. Fett then opened up communications with the vessel, announcing that Tork and Murthé were his targets, and all others were free to leave or die. He then launched a grenade into the ship's hull, breaching it near the holding pens. Fett quickly killed the guards there, and Tork ordered more to that level to fend him off. Fett then shot open one of the holding cells, freeing the prisoners; he told them to save themselves, as they outnumbered the ship's crew, and suggested they take the guns of the fallen guards.

Fett finally reached Murthé, who wielded a lightsaber. Fett, unimpressed, dodged Murthé's blows with the weapon, then set the man on fire with his flamethrower. Ignoring the scientist's pleas to kill him, Fett then made his way to where Tork waited. The captain sat with his finger on the self-destruct button of the vessel and informed Fett that if he was shot, he would set it off. Fett turned to leave, promising to find the man later and kill him then. Not wanting to live in fear, Tork stood and began firing at Fett, so Fett shot him. Murthé, still on fire, then charged at the bounty hunter; Fett shot him as well.

With the prisoners freed from the Azgoghk, Fett left their next step in their hands, asking only that they remember his name. On Basteel, Fett again met with Brighteyes. He offered the now-dying Gulmarid a bag with proof of his kills, but Brighteyes elected to take him at his word. He gave Fett his payment and the bounty hunter left, satisfied that his name was established once again.

The Butcher of Montellian Serat
Fett soon, however, needed thousands of credits, having replaced Slave III with Slave IV and gotten surgery to obtain a prosthetic replacement for his right leg, which had been damaged by the sarlacc years earlier.

In 19 ABY, Fett took a bounty on Kardue'sai'Malloc, the Devaronian war criminal known as the Butcher of Montellian Serat. For Malloc's capture, Fett received five million credits.

Return to Jubilar
Fett now needed to regain his pride, and he once again faced off against Han Solo on Jubilar. However, the two men agreed to end their decades-long feud and part ways.

Personality and traits
As a child, Boba Fett was well-behaved. He was intelligent and observant, having learned to thoroughly apprise situations he found himself in. Fett gained his father's natural instincts for detecting trouble, as well as Jango's reflexes.

As a child, Fett learned to listen more than he spoke. He retained these lessons in later years, never socializing and rarely speaking. Dengar often chided Fett on his laconism; Fett countered that thinking was more important than speaking.

None of Fett's bounties saw his face, an aspect he used to encourage speculation about his past. After his incident in the sarlacc, Fett never showed his face, thinking of his armor as his true face.

Fett placed great stock in how his name was viewed. Even money could be put aside in the interests of regaining reputation. The bounty hunter considered his reputation and armor to have been earned by his skills. When Jodo Kast attempted to impersonate him, Fett lectured the man in his last moments that he should have learned from Fett rather than take what he had, unearned.

Fett was not uncharitable, and after receiving a bounty on Nobam Nol, considered leaving some of it for the local orphanage, only not doing so because he needed the money for another mission. During the Azgoghk mission, Fett freed the prisoners being held in that ship, though it was not part of his contract. He did not, however, profess any interest in what they did after escaping.

Fett believed that there was no wrong done by a soldier following orders.

When in pursuit of a bounty, Fett sometimes took great risks at the expense of caution. This could cost him, as it did when he collided with the planetary shield of Byss while chasing Han Solo.

Fett was not concerned whether a bounty was troublesome; according to him, trouble was the point of a bounty, and only a bounty hunter who accepted that could get the higher-paying jobs.

After their fight on Dargulli, in which Fett sided with Vader against a mob of bounty hunters attacking him, Vader complimented Fett on his ability to read the odds of the situation.

Jango Fett
"Only a son can know his father's heart&hellip;"

- Boba Fett

Fett saw his father as above the avarice and treachery that characterized the underworld. He considered Jango to be honorable and truthful, an ideal to be looked up to, and a personal hero. Jango, in Boba' eyes, was the greatest Mandalorian and the one he would model his own life after.

Jango Fett taught his son many lessons on the proper conduct of a warrior. He emphasized being free of fear, being ready for anything, and committing oneself entirely to an attack. Jango taught Boba that loyalty and honor were more important than anything, and once one's word was given, that mattered over all other things. Mercy, according to Jango, had no place in battle.

As a child, Boba was always glad when Jango came home from his hunts and missed him while he was gone. Jango loved his son and wished he could spend more time with Boba, knowing that his son needed him to be there.

Armor
Fett's armor had once belonged to Jaster Mereel, his father's mentor. It was equipped with a jetpack, flamethrower, and nerve toxin darts. Fett had a cannon built into his knee pads that could fire a stream of liquid, dangerous to the target in frozen environments. He prided himself on the extent of the weaponry he carried.

Starships
Fett owned four starships: Slave I through Slave IV. His first, Slave I, he inherited from his father.
