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.
During the time of the Empire, Boba Fett emerged as the preeminent
bounty hunter of the galaxy. Boba Fett's armor, like his father's, is a
battered weapon-covered spacesuit equipped with a rocketpack. His
gauntlets contain a flamethrower, and a whipcord lanyard launcher. His
kneepads conceal rocket dart launchers. Several ominous braids hang from
his shoulder -- trophies from fallen prey -- that underscore this
hunter's lethality. 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. 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.
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.
From the Expanded Universe
Many legends propagate as to the origins of Boba Fett -- perhaps by
design, since the uncertainty derived from a corrupted backstory of
half-truths only adds to his mysterious and deadly aura. One tale tells
of Fett being a failed stormtrooper who killed his commanding officer.
Another has him being the commanding officer of a fabled group of
warriors from Mandalore decimated by the Jedi Knights. A third account
tells of a Journeyman Protector from Concord Dawn named Jaster Mereel
who adopted the mask and guise when he was convicted of treason.
Fett has kept his early, vulnerable years private. The times he spent
playing with his toys in a sparsely furnished Kamino apartment, his
guardians Taun We and MU-12, the quiet moments he would share with his
father catching rollerfish -- all quiet memories buried under a hard
callous of vengeful thoughts and malice. After Jango's death,
Boba picked up the pieces of his shattered life with the help of his
"black book," an encoded message unit written by Jango with instructions
for survival should Boba ever find himself alone. After the Battle of
Geonosis, Boba quietly buried his father's body and marked the grave
with a simple "J.F." He sought out his father's benefactor, Darth
Tyranus, who had the remainder of Jango's stipend. Among the
first records of Fett's activities were during the early years of the
Empire. Fett was hired by the gangster Sise Fromm to dispose of young
speeder pilot Thall Joben and his friends. Though the Fromms were
enemies of the Jabba the Hutt -- Fett's sometime employer -- the hunter
took the contract to square off a favor he owed Fromm. At the
time, Fett owned a droid named BL-17, and used him to sew confusion
among Joben's droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO. Unaware of a bomb planted on
Joben's speeder, the White Witch, Fett entered his modified racer Silver
Speeder in the Boonta speeder competition. During his attempt to
capture Joben with a magnetic beam, Fett pulled the bomb onto his own
speeder, and it was destroyed. Angered at the loss of his speeder and
droid, Fett captured the Fromms to turn them over to Jabba the Hutt.
As a licensed law enforcer of the Empire, Fett worked for that
oppressive government on numerous occasions. One report had him allowing
Rebel agents to capture a mystical talisman infected with an Imperial
sleeping virus, though records of this event remain classified and
cannot be confirmed. Another report details that Fett was hired by Darth
Vader to track down a Rebel agent known as "Mole" on the frozen world
of Ota. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, a group of Jabba the
Hutt's bounty hunters captured Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca in
the Hoth system. These hunters were to deliver the Rebel trio to Ord
Mantell, where Boba Fett was to take possession and continue the
delivery to the Empire. One of the hunters, an arrogant tracker named
Skorr, botched the operation and let the Rebels escape. Skorr was killed
in the process and Fett was left empty-handed. After Fett
finally captured Solo and was set to deliver him to Jabba, he was
attacked by the other hunters hired by Vader to bring in the Corellian
prize. The assassin droid IG-88, aboard his ultra-sleek IG-2000 attacked
the Slave I high over Tatooine. Though Fett destroyed the droid,
the Slave I sustained serious damage. Unwilling to be caught
defenseless, Fett laid low for a while, which prompted a concerted
search by Solo's friends. Fett dresses in fearsome armor of
Mandalorian design. The battle-scarred suit's design heritage can be
traced back 4,000 years, when clans of Mandalores fought against the
Jedi during the Great Sith War. The armor is heavily modified with
numerous hidden and deadly features. The T-shaped visor set in the
helmet incorporates a macrobinocular viewplate. The rest of the helmet
features a temple-mounted broadband antenna, motion and sound sensors,
an infrared device, and an internal comlink connected to his ship.
Fett's weapon of choice is a sawed-off BlasTech EE-3 rifle.
Fett's armor and body were extremely battered by his ordeal in the
Sarlacc. When he plunged into the beast, he was kept alive by numerous
fibrous suckers that attached themselves to his body. This was part of
the Sarlacc's horrible metabolic process; it would keep its prey alive
for thousands of years, all the while slowly feeding off it. Fett almost
lost his identity in the swirling dementia brought about by the
Sarlacc's toxins. His resolve held, and he used his weapons to blast
free of the beast. Naked, wounded, and defenseless on the sands
of Tatooine, Fett was rescued by his fellow hunter Dengar, who nursed
him back to health. Fett reclaimed his armor and his reputation,
returning from the "dead," and again taking on bounties. It wasn't until
six years after the Battle of Endor that Han Solo learned his nemesis
was still alive. Although Fett still piloted his antiquated Slave I, he
updated his arsenal with the ultrasleek Slave II. These were but
the first two of his vessels, which would eventually number up to Slave
IV.
Fett returned many times to Kamino, where Taun We secretly had been
growing replacement body parts for the bounty hunter. She asked him to
hunt down and destroy Fenn Shysa, as it had been Shysa who participated
in the devastation of Kamino near the end of the Clone Wars. Years after
this final hunt, Fett went to Mandalore to assume control of the
Mandalorian Protectors. He found himself elevated to the position of Mand'alor,
the leader of the Mandalorian warriors and ruler of Mandalore itself.
When the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy, Fett and his
Mandalorians worked to protect the planet Mandalore before setting out
to do as much damage as possible. Ten years later, Fett's body was
rapidly deteriorating; his liver was failing, and his tissues were
riddled with tumors. A doctor gave him just a year or two to live; there
was no help this time from Taun We, since she had disappeared. Fett
decided to locate his daughter Ailyn, who was born during a three-year
marriage to bounty hunter Sintas Vel, years ago during Fett's youth.
Ailyn had vanished, secretly taking on Corellian secessionist Thrackan
Sal-Solo's bounty on the heads of Han and Leia. Ailyn's daughter Mirta
Gev approached Fett without revealing she was his granddaughter to
enlist him in the search for her mother. She accompanied the 71-year-old
Fett when he took on the job of assassinating Thrackan, and fired the
first three shots into Sal-Solo's head.
Fett and Gev learned that Ailyn had been captured, tortured, and killed
by Jacen Solo. After confronting the animosity his granddaughter held
towards him, Fett realized that it was time he reclaimed his Mandalorian
roots. Fett and Gev journeyed to Mandalore and Fett resumed his role as
leader, although he felt undeserving. Fett was able to get a serum that
rapidly helped him recover, and he helped Mandalore return as a power
in the galaxy.
It was with great trepidation that Fett discovered that Sintas was still
alive. She had been frozen in carbonite decades earlier. Returned to
Mandalore and thawed from her carbonite prison, Sintas was disoriented
and blind from the ordeal, but Mirta worked to nurse her back to health.
When she began recovering her memories, she held no ill-will toward
Boba. They then spent several days talking, hoping to repair the
emotional scars of their past. They eventually came to understand each
other, in time to celebrate the wedding of their granddaughter to Ghes
Orade.
Jaina Solo arrived on Mandalore asking for Fett's help in training her
to defeat her brother. Fett agreed to the job, and began teaching Jaina
how to fight like a Mandalorian. In the meantime, he was contacted by
Admiral Natasi Daala, who had come out of hiding to assist Gilad
Pellaeon on a mission to capture the planet Fondor. Daala was to serve
as Pellaeon's secret back-up force, and Daala wanted the Mandalorians to
provide additional firepower if necessary. The ships of the Galactic
Alliance and Imperial Remnant refused to follow Jacen Solo's
increasingly belligerent commands. In the schism that followed,
opportunistic Imperial moffs tried to take advantage of the sudden
assassination of Pellaeon's by Solo's apprentice, Tahiri Veila. Daala
called Fett's small task force into the battle, in order to secure the
Destroyer Bloodfin before the Moff Council could assert its own
control.
The Mandalorians stormed the ship, trapping the Moffs and Tahiri in the
command center. Fett and his soldiers took no prisoners, opening fire on
the Moffs and killing any that tried to escape. They were unable to
capture Tahiri, who escaped when Jacen Solo arrived to rescue. Fett
managed to intercept them, but refused to kill Solo when he had the
chance. He left this for Jaina to handle.
As the war ground on, Fett learned that the Imperial Remnant had
deployed a nanokiller on Mandalore, created from Mirta Gev's blood, and
was designed to kill any member of Fett's descendant bloodline. It was
also designed to remain active indefinitely, forcing Fett and Mirta to
find a new home while they tried to help Mandalore recover from an
attack by the Galactic Alliance's Fifth Fleet.
Behind the Scenes
Fett was one of the first new characters to be designed for The
Empire Strikes Back. He can trace his origins to rejected Darth
Vader concepts that once had the Dark Lord as a rogue bounty hunter.
Concept artists Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston were most responsible
for Fett's design. He first appeared in an 11-minute animated segment of
the lamentable "Star Wars Holiday Special" television broadcast
in 1978. Fett had another pre-Empire appearance in the daily
newspaper strip story arc entitled "The Frozen World of Ota." Given that
Fett and Skywalker meet for the first time in both stories, and
Luke unwittingly befriends the bounty hunter each time, one or both of
these tales is probably apocryphal.Fett was the first new action
figure for The Empire Strikes Back line of toys. He was
originally available as a mail-away offer; kids would send in the
appropriate proofs-of-purchase and Kenner would send the toy out. The
original mail-away offers stated that Fett would feature a rocket-firing
backpack, but safety issues dictated that the toy was released with the
rocket glued in.Fett's big-screen appearance had actor Jeremy
Bulloch behind the mask, though the character was coldly voiced by Jason
Wingreen. For his return appearance in the Star Wars Trilogy:
Special Edition, various Industrial Light & Magic artists wore
the armor. Fett's return from the dead was first chronicled in a
1984 Star Wars #81 comic entitled "Jawas of Doom." A dyspeptic
Sarlacc regurgitates the hunter onto the desert sands. Fett, stunned and
suffering amnesia, stumbles across Solo once again. The tale ends with
Fett tumbling into the Sarlacc again, though it was definitely not his
last appearance.In 1985, Fett made an appearance in the animated Droids
television series. Toronto-based Nelvana Studios had animated Fett once
before, in the aforementioned Holiday Special. Fett's second
ink-and-paint cameo aired in the episode "A Race to the Finish."In
1992, Dark Horse's Dark Empire comic saga was shaking up the Star
Wars universe. It was in these full-color pages that readers
discovered that Fett was alive and well, and once again on Solo's trail.

Empire Chronicles: Boba Fett
By Pete Vilmur
"As You Wish"
"He is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy" read the first official
description of Boba Fett back in the summer of 1979, one year before
his official cinematic debut in The Empire Strikes Back. As far
as initial assessments go, this one got it dead right.
With Boba Fett's return to the Star Wars galaxy in The
Clone Wars episode "Death
Trap", we thought it fitting to give him our Empire
Chronicles
send-up this week, following a very cool Boba
Fett soundboard entry just posted last Friday (don't miss the
"lost" Fett line recently discovered called "Into the sarlacc").
In the spirit of Empire's 30th anniversary (and these are the Empire
Chronicles, after all), we're limiting
our discussion of the first Fett to his 1980 Empire performance,
before his cinematic demise in Return of the Jedi
and rebirth in Attack of the Clones. With The Clone Wars
and four movie appearances to his credit (lest you forget
his cameo in the revamped A New Hope), we wanted to rediscover
the Fett we met some 30 years
ago, when a few lines and the galaxy's coolest costume were all it took
to become a Star Wars sequel superstar. What follows are quotes
from those responsible for bringing our favorite galactic gun-for-hire
to The Empire Strikes Back in 1980:
Bantha Tracks (Fan Club newsletter, first officially
published description of Boba Fett)
"Not much is known about Boba Fett. He wears part of the uniform of
the Imperial Shocktroopers, warriors from the olden time. Shocktroopers
came from the far side of the galaxy and there aren't many of them left.
They were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars.
Whether he was a shocktrooper or not is unknown. He is the best bounty
hunter in the galaxy, and cares little for whom he works -- as long as
they pay."
— Bantha Tracks #5 (Summer 1979)
George Lucas, Story and Executive Producer
"[Darth Vader] started as a kind of intergalactic bounty hunter, evolved
into a grotesque knight, and as I got deeper into the knight ethos
he became more a dark warrior than a mercenary... I split him up and it
was from the early concept of Darth Vader as a bounty hunter that
Boba Fett came."
— Once Upon A Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of The Empire Strikes
Back (Sept 1980)
Early McQuarrie design
Ralph McQuarrie, Design Consultant And Conceptual Artist
"I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper
while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was
thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said,
'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and
make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit -- rockets and so
forth -- to defend himself with.'"
— The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (April 2007)Joe Johnston, Art Director-Visual Effects
"I designed the final version of Boba Fett. Ralph and I both worked on
preliminary designs, and we traded ideas back and forth. Originally,
Boba Fett was part of a force we called Super Troopers, and they were
these really high-tech fighting units, and they all looked alike. That
eventually evolved into a single bounty hunter. I painted Boba's outfit
and tried to make it look like it was made of different pieces of
armor. It was a symmetrical design, but I painted it in such a way that
it looked like he had scavenged parts and had done some personalizing
of his costume; he had little trophies hanging from his belt, and he had
little braids of hair, almost like a collection of scalps."
— Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays (Sept 1997)
Robert Watts, Associate Producer
"The first time I ever saw the costume, it wasn't Boba Fett. It was completely white.He was going to be a
'super stormtrooper.' [Assistant
Film Editor] Duwayne Dunham modelled it so we could all have a look at
it, but the suit didn't quite fit. At that point I'd never managed to
give [my half-brother] Jeremy (Bulloch) a job on film. So I rang him up and said
'If the suit fits, the part's yours.' He came in and it fit."
— Star Wars Insider #101 (May/June 2008) Jeremy Bulloch, Actor, "Boba Fett"
"I got into the costume and I put the helmet on. There were lots of
little gadgets and knee pads and the boots had two little jets on the
toes. I thought, 'This looks rather good!' There was a jet pack, too. I
found what I thought was my hair so I put it on underneath the
helmet, hanging down. When I came out to show George Lucas, he said,
'What's that funny thing sticking out of your helmet?' I said, 'Isn't it
the character's hair?' 'No,' said George, 'it's a Wookiee scalp -- it's
supposed to be tied to your belt!'"
— Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine #21 (Winter 1994)
Jeremy Bulloch
"The character was explained [by Lucas] a great deal: what sort of
person he was, deadly but very methodical in movement and fast, even
though you never saw him move quickly."
— Star Wars Insider #30 (1996)
Jeremy Bulloch
"Occasionally, I would make a movement, but a little one, because the
less you do, the stronger the character is. So I would just stand with
my hip one way, and I'd cradle the gun a certain way. He's aware that
something could happen any time, so he's quick with the gun. It's ready
cocked. He knows exactly what's going on behind him. He may be moving
slowly, but he's deadly when it comes to that sudden movement... I
thought of Boba Fett as Clint Eastwood in a suit of armor."
— Star Wars Insider #49 (May/June 2000)Alan Arnold, Author
"The character, like the costume, is a composite. Although Fett is a galactic
bounty hunter, his leather ammunition belt and spiked
boots are reminiscent of the Old West. There's also a dark hint of that
period in the scalps that hang from his right shoulder. His 'saddle'
is a beat-up spacecraft, but his kind have been around for a long, long
time in Westerns."
— Once Upon A Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of The Empire Strikes
Back (Sept 1980)
Duwayne Dunham, Assistant Film Editor
"Do you know that Boba Fett wore spurs? He was Clint Eastwood in outer
space. [Sound Designer Ben Burtt] put spurs on him so that when he
walks down the hallway, he goes 'ching, ching, ching...'"Jeremy Bulloch
"They went back to America to do a lot of the sound stuff. I'm not going
to stand and say 'Why didn't you use my voice?' If I used my voice
as it is now, it wouldn't be right. They used a voice similar to the one
I tried to do. As I see it, the character has his mask and his
mystery. It doesn't matter who does the voice."
— Starlog #50 (Sept 1981)
Jason Wingreen, original voice of "Boba Fett" for 1980 release"My agent called me and said to go over to the recording studio,
where I met Gary Kurtz and Irvin Kershner. Normally, you see the face of
an
actor you're dubbing, so you have to lip-synch. But that was no problem
here -- I could say the lines at any time. I got in position, they
ran the film a few times, and I said the lines. Kershner came out and
made a suggestion or two and went back in the control room, I did it
again, and I was finished."
— Star Wars Insider #49 (May/June 2000)Jeremy Bulloch
"One day I was sitting around in the Boba Fett outfit, and I was asked
if I would mind playing this Imperial officer,
because there was nobody
to play the part. I went into wardrobe, got dressed in an Imperial
Officer's uniform, and played this part who now has a name in the
Decipher
card game, Lieutenant Sheckil. It was in the scene in Cloud City where
Princess Leia says 'Luke, it's a trap' -- I drag her away. Moments
earlier, you see me as Boba Fett shooting at Mark Hamill."
— Star Wars Insider #49 (May/June 2000)
Scott Chernoff and Jon Bradley Snyder, authors
"[''Dak'
actor John Fass Morton] donned the costume of Boba Fett when actor
Jeremy Bulloch, who played the beloved bounty hunter, couldn't be
there... The scene with Morton inside the historic Boba suit is the one
where Fett confronts Vader over Solo's impending carbon-freezing and
says, 'He's no good to me dead.'"
