Boba Fett

"What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."

- Boba Fett to Darth Vader, putting Han Solo in the freezing carbon chamber.

Boba Fett, in the Star Wars Original Trilogy, was the clone and raised son of the former bounty Hunter Jango Fett, who made a previous appearance in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Attack of the Clones
In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, 10 year old Boba Fett and his father, Jango Fett, were approached by Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Kamino. Boba was an unaltered clone of his father. During the battle at the landing platform, Jango told him to get on board the Slave I while his father engaged Obi-Wan in combat.

Later on in the Asteroid Field, the Fetts make advanced manuevers against Obi-Wan and escape to the planet Geonosis. Later, the first battle of the clone wars erupted in the arena and Boba took cover. During the battle, jedi master Mace Windu fought and killed Jango by decapitating him, horrifying Boba. After the battle was over, Boba emerged from his hiding place and picked up his father's helmet and put it against his forehead, swearing revenge.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
After his father's death, and the defeat of the Separatists on Geonosis, Boba somehow escaped from Geonosis and began plotting revenge against Mace Windu for killing his father. At some point during the Clone Wars, Boba teamed up with three other bounty hunters named Aurra Sing, Bossk, and Castas, to get revenge. Later, Boba infiltrated the Republic warship the Endurance as a member of the clone youth brigade under the alias "Lucky". Upon arrival, the Brigade participated in a shooting drill, which Boba passed with flying colors. Afterwards, Boba slipped away from the group and lied to two clones that Windu, who was stationed onboard the ship, had called him to his quarters, and the clones took him there and left.

After the clones left, Boba placed a laser tripwire bomb outside of Windu's quarters, but a clone trooper inadvertently triggered the explosive and was killed instead of Windu. After the Endurance was placed on high alert, Aurra contacted Boba and ordered him to destroy the ship's reactor core, which he reluctantly agreed. Boba then snuck into the reactor room, where he coaxed a clone into handing him his blaster. Using the blaster, Boba destroyed the reactor and severly damaged it. Boba then regrouped with the clone youth brigade and they escaped in an escape pod.

Upon ejection, Boba disabled the pod, allowing Aurra and the other bounty hunters to pick him up in the Slave I. After discovering Windu was still alive, Boba and the other bounty hunters flew the Slave I down to the Endurance's crash site on planet Vanquor. Aurra and Boba went to the crash site where Boba placed his father's helmet in the Endurance's bridge rigged with an explosive to trap Windu while Aurra killed every clone who survived the crash excpt Admiral Killian, Commander Ponds, and a naval officer, who she took hostage. By the time they had returned to the Slave I with the hostages, Windu had arrived with Anakin Skywalker to investigate the crash site. Windu and Skywalker triggered the helmet trap, but survived and the resulting explosion incinerated half of Jango Fett's helmet and pinned the two jedi under the rubble. Aurra and Boba wanted to check if Mace Windu was dead so they returned to the crash ste with Castas, leaving Bossk behind to guard the hostages. The trio attempted to rache the bridge, but were foiled by R2-D2, Anakin's astromech droid, who pushed debris in the way of the hunters. Boba, Aurra, and Castas returned to the Slave I and noticed Artoo fleeing in Mace Windu's starfighter, who was attempting to send a distress signal to planet Coruscant exposing Boba's actions. Boba and the other bounty hunters pursued Artoo in the Slave I.

Artoo lured the hunters into space where it attempted to use the hyperdrive rings to escape. Boba destroyed one of the hyperdrive rings, but Artoo used the second ring to escape to Coruscant. Boba was reassured by Aurra that she would lure Windu to them using the hostages and the Slave I blasted off into space. Later, on board the Slave I, Boba saw that the hostages had nothing to do with his quest for vengeance against Windu and showed Killian compassion by giving him water. Later, Aurra and Boba sent a message to Windu and told him to find them or they would kill the hostages and Aurra handed Boba his blaster and ordered him to kill Ponds, but when Boba refused, Aurra killed the commander herself. Boba and the fugtives arrived on planet Florrum in hopes of enlisting the help of a gang of pirates who lived there led by Hondo Ohnaka against Windu. Hondo refused, but also promised not to stand in their way. Later, Aurra overheard a conversation between Castas and a fellow hunter and referred to Aurra as an old hag, and Aurra killed Castas in fromt of a horrified Boba.

Later, Aurra and Boba came across jedi Plo Koon and dicussed about the hostages. Boba emerged from the shadows and held Koon at gunpoint while Anakin's padwan, Ahsoka Tano held her lightsaber at Aurra's throat. After a brief stand off, Koon captured Boba and Aurra stole a speeder bike and escaped, but was pursued by Ahsoka. Meanwhile, Plo Koon interrogated Boba into revealing the location of the hostages, to which Boba refused. Eventually, Hondo helped Koon by convincing Boba to reveal the hostages' location, telling him what his father would have done. Meanwhile, Ahsoka defeated Aurra and Bossk and rescued the hostages. After rescuing the hostages and seemingly killing Aurra, Boba and Bossk were arrested by Koon and Ahsoka and brought to Coruscant, where Boba and Bossk met Windu. Boba vowed that he would never forgive Windu for what he had done and was taken to prison with Bossk.

A New Hope
In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Fett is briefly seen in Docking Bay 94 along with the rest of Jabba the Hutt's cronies. He is last seen standing there before Jabba himself tells him to get moving.

This scene was only seen in the Special Edition version.

The Empire Strikes Back
In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader gives Boba Fett the mission of capturing Vader's son, Luke Skywalker. To carry out this task, Fett captures Luke's allies, including Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, the Wookie Chewbacca, and the protocol droid C-3PO. After Lando Calrissian introduces them to Cloud City, Darth Vader decides to test the carbon-freezing chamber as part of his plan to bring Luke to the Emperor.

The Character was reportedly modeled after Clint Eastwood's portrayal of the Man with No Name in a Fistful of Dollars.

Return of the Jedi
This film shows Boba Fett under the employ of Jabba the Hutt. He accompanies Jabba to Han and Luke's execution aboard the sail barge. During the chaos of the heroes escape, Fett himself ends up in the Sarlacc pit. It was later confirmed that Boba Fett actually used his jetpack to escape the Sarlacc's mouth.

Expanded Universe
Although the final film seems to imply Fett's death in the Sarlaac Pit, he is actually saved by another bounty hunter Dengar. Boba Fett eventually even becomes Mandalore, the title bestowed upon the leader of the Mandalorians.

As an old man, Fett and his granddaughter Mitra Gev allied with Fett's former enemy Han Solo in killing Corellian leader Thrackan Sal-Solo after Sal-Solo posted a bounty on Solo and his entire family.
