Boba Fett

Boba Fett. The "son" of the famous bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Jango had been hired by the Kaminoans to be the basis for a clone army requested by the Old Republic. Boba was the very first clone and was left unaltered; to grow and learn naturally as the elder Fett's son. For ten years, Boba was taught to rely on himself and learned as much as he could from Jango. When Jango was killed, at the hands of Jedi Master Mace Windu, Boba's self-reliance was tested and Boba fled the planet Geonsis in his father's ship, Slave I. By the age of thirteen, Boba had several minor bounties under his belt and had performed several jobs for Jabba the Hutt. Very little is known about what happened to Fett over the next twenty odd years. There were rumors that said he became an Imperial Stormtrooper who attacked and killed his superior officer. And some that said he returned to his father's homeworld of Concord Dawn and became the Journyman Protector, Jaster Mereel. Fett never did anything to prove or disprove any of the rumors about him, knowing that they would only add to the mystery of the man.

Somewhere along the way, Boba managed to acquire a full suit of Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor to replace his Father's suit. However, he did keep his father's ship; modifying it heavily. Having acquired a substantial amount of funds throughout the years, Boba hired the best surgeons to remove as many of the pain and pleasure-sensing nerves in his body as possible.

Fett, hired by Kud'ar Mub'at, also managed to help dismantle the Bounty Hunter's Guild and it was widely believed that he was hired by Grand Moff Willhuf Tarkin to hunt Han Solo after the smuggler's defection from the Empire. A few years later, Boba was hired by Darth Vader as one of the bounty hunters commissioned to hunt down the Millennium Falcon and its passengers. Coincidently, this bounty occured around the same time that Jabba the Hutt hired Fett to capture Solo. Boba, having studied Solo for some time, predicted the smuggler's escape to Bespin and brought the Empire there first. After Lando's betrayal, Han was frozen in carbonite as a test run for the freezing chamber before being passed on to the bounty hunter. After collecting his money from the Empire, Fett loaded Solo's frozen body onto Slave I and left for Tatooine. Boba's ship was badly damaged in a firefight over the desert planet and Fett was forced to make an unscheduled stop on the Outer Rim world of Zhar, landing on Gall, where he was attacked by yet more bounty hunters, including Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Fett managed to escape, only to be assaulted by Rogue Squadron. After escaping the Alliance fighters, Boba delivered Solo's frozen form to Jabba and collected the bounty.

He remained a freelance hunter on retainer for Jabba, opting to spend time around the palace. He felt there would soon be a rescue attempt made on Solo, and he wanted to be there when it happened. Leia's arrival as Boussh proved that Fett was correct in his guess and soon after, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker arrived. After the Rancor was killed by Skywalker, the rebels were sentenced to death by Sarlacc; which ultimately proved fatal for Jabba and his court as well as near fatal for the infamous bounty hunter.

Skywalker had been underestimated and what started as an execution ended as a massacre. Jabba was killed and many of his minions were blasted, cut in two or dumped into the Sarlacc pit. A lucky hit by Han Solo proved to be Boba's downfall that day, as the smuggler smashed the hunter's rocketpack and Fett was launched from the skiff into the side of Jabba's sail barge; knocking him unconcious and then letting him fall down...down into the Sarlacc's gullet, where he was believed to be dead and eventually forgotten...

After awakening in the Sarlacc's belly, Fett struggled to get free. Every attempt he made failed. He was weak; the acids had burned through most of his armor and he was being digested. But he was not defeated. Fett had always been resourceful and luckily, he still had some of his arsenal at his disposal. He managed to set off explosives from within the Sarlacc and then escape. He was found dying in the sand by a fellow bounty hunter, Dengar, and nursed back to health. Once he was strong again, Boba got back to business; partnering for a short time with Dengar before setting out on his own once again.
