Boba Fett
Boba Fett was a Mandalorian warrior and bounty hunter. He was a clone of the famed
Jango Fett, created in 32
BBY as the first of many Fett replicas designed to become part of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and was raised as
Jango's son. Jango taught Boba much, training him to become a skilled bounty hunter as was his father-figure before him. In 22 BBY, Jango was killed at the
Battle of Geonosis, which opened the
Clone Wars. Just a boy, Boba was forced to grow up and took to traveling the galaxy.
Later, he became a bounty hunter and took assignments from beings such as
Jabba the Hutt, and achieved notoriety despite his young age.
When the
Empire was formed in 19 BBY, it was the perfect environment for Fett. During this time, he also married
Sintas Vel and had a daughter named
Ailyn Vel. Fett became known as the galaxy's best bounty hunter of the next several decades, often working for the Empire. He collaborated with Darth Vader on several occasions, and the Sith
Lord even developed a grudging respect for Fett.
In 1 BBY, a year after the
Galactic Civil War had begun, Fett was hired to kidnap the
Rebel captain
Juno Eclipse in order to lure out a clone of
Galen Marek. Fett participated in the
Battle of
Kamino and when Darth Vader was captured and about to be interrogated on Dantooine, the Mandalorian bounty hunter trailed the
Rogue Shadow there.
Fett made his most notable bounty in 3
ABY, when he captured Rebel hero Han
Solo, and delivered him to Jabba the Hutt. A year later, during the Battle of the
Great Pit of Carkoon, Fett fought against the group of Rebel rescuers. However, he was inadvertently knocked into the mouth of the Sarlacc by Solo. Though no one in recorded history had ever escaped from the Sarlacc, Fett was able to escape, though not unscathed.
Thanks to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, he was able to fight his way out of the beast's belly, and later killed the Sarlacc.
Back in action, he resumed his work as a bounty hunter.
After a promise made to a dying
Fenn Shysa, Fett became Mandalore and eventually led the Mandalorians through the
Yuuzhan Vong War.
Originally working as a mercenary for the extra-galactic invaders, Fett later aided the
New Republic in their battle against the aliens. When the
Yuuzhan Vong assaulted Mandalore and bombarded the planet's surface, a large deposit of Mandalorian iron was unearthed, ironically helping to strengthen the Mandalorians. Later, during the
Second Galactic Civil War, Boba, who was still leading the Mandalorians, was plagued by ailing health. He found his granddaughter, Mirta Gev, and the two went on many missions together, even alongside Han Solo. Fett also trained Solo's daughter
Jaina to kill her twin brother,
Darth Caedus, and assisted the
Jedi Coalition in several battles. Ultimately, Fett's training helped Jaina bring down Caedus, though an
Imperial nanovirus attack prevented Fett from ever returning to Mandalore.
