Spar Spar , born Alpha - Ø2 and later known as Mandalore the Resurrector , was a rogue Alpha - class Advanced Recon Commando who rebuilt the Mandalorian Supercommando s and fought for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars . Alpha - Ø2 was cloned from the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett on the planet Kamino for the Grand Army of the Republic . An aberrant clone with more independence and free - thinking than his fellow soldiers , Alpha - Ø2 found after eight - and - a - half years that he had inherited the memories of Jango Fett . With the aid of " Cuy ' val Dar " doctor Mij Gilamar , Alpha - Ø2 made his escape off Kamino in the hold of " Slave I " , taking the name " Spar " from what the Kaminoan trainers had called him . Spar traveled the galaxy as a bounty hunter before the Clone Wars . When war broke out and Jango Fett was killed in the Battle of Geonosis , Spar realized that he needed to reform the Mandalorian Supercommandos and traveled to the planet Mandalore . After overcoming the pacifist movement of Duchess Satine Kryze , Spar became Mandalore and formed the Mandalorian Protectors , recruiting two hundred police from Mandalore — including Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala — and a dozen former Death Watch members . He took the name " Mandalore the Resurrector " as a sign that he would honor the old traditions of the Mandalorians . Hating the Jedi for their killing of Mandalorians at the Battle of Galidraan , Spar joined the war on the side of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . The Protectors fought throughout the war at Null , New Bornalex , Kamino , New Holstice , Zaadja , and even Mandalore , where they seized the headquarters of MandalMotors for Separatist use . Spar brought new matériel to the Mandalorian cause , including " Pursuer " - class enforcement ships and the BL - series Battle Legionnaire droid . Their final mission ended in betrayal when Darth Sidious ordered the Protectors to capture Senator Padmé Amidala on Norval II — a mission that proved to be a Republic ambush . Only three survivors walked away from the battle : Shysa , Dala , and a shell - shocked Spar . Spar left the post of Mandalore but stayed on the planet Mandalore for some months longer . During his stay , he joined with the colleagues of Kal Skirata to retrieve information that could help cure the rapid aging of clone troopers . He eventually disappeared into the Extrictarium Nebula , where , years later , Ailyn Vel — the daughter of Boba Fett — mistook him for her father and killed him . Biography . Life on Kamino . Alpha - Ø2 was cloned from the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett by the Kaminoan cloners on the planet Kamino in 32 BBY , one of the first test class of Advanced Recon Commando soldiers made as part of the order for the Grand Army of the Republic . While the Kaminoans instilled uniformity in their clones , limiting the choices and individuality available to them , Alpha - Ø2 was a case of a one percent failure rate in the Kaminoans ' product . Of the hundred ARC troopers in his class , he alone was independent and free - thinking , rejecting the anonymity enforced on him , and internalizing no loyalty to the Galactic Republic . Like all aberrant clones — which appeared in 3 . 5 percent of the general clone population — Alpha - Ø2 was put through reconditioning . The process did not take , but Alpha - Ø2 seemed to blend in with the other clones , and his peculiarity was not noticed . The Kaminoan handlers came to call him " Spar . " Alpha - Ø2 developed a friendship with Mij Gilamar , one of the Mandalorian " Cuy ' val Dar " trainers working as a doctor . Eight - and - a - half years after his cloning , when he was biologically seventeen years of age , Alpha - Ø2 heard a mention of Jango Fett ' s exploits , which triggered a memory in him — not of his own life , but of Fett ' s . Fett ' s memories returned to Alpha - Ø2 in a rush ; and , knowing that they would be reconditioned out of him , he prepared to make his escape from Kamino . Alpha - Ø2 began faking insanity and headaches to meet with Gilamar . Gilamar eventually called in a favor with Jango Fett to smuggle Alpha - Ø2 off Kamino in the hold of Fett ' s ship , " Slave I " . Alpha - Ø2 ' s escape made him the first deserter from the Grand Army . Upon leaving Kamino , Alpha - Ø2 decided to take the name " Spar " as his own . He took to working odd jobs around the galaxy , particularly in the Outer Rim Territories , as he attempted to sort through his mental state . The man mostly took work as a bounty hunter , specializing in live captures . When Jango Fett was killed in the opening battle of the Clone Wars , Spar concluded that his purpose was to rebuild the Mandalorian Supercommando s . Spar traveled to the planet Mandalore , where he called for aid from the local police to form his new Mandalorian Protectors . Two hundred police came to him ; among them were two constables of Mandalore named Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala , as well as twelve former members of the splinter Mandalorian faction , the Death Watch . A rumor spread across Mandalore that Spar was the son of Jango Fett who had come to rebuild the Mandalorians . He was opposed in this by Duchess Satine Kryze , leader of the pacifist New Mandalorians , who wished Mandalore to remain neutral in the Clone Wars . Spar won out over her faction due to her death in 20 BBY , however , and assumed the position of Mandalore , leader of the Mandalorians . He took the title " Mandalore the Resurrector " as a sign that the old traditions of the Mandalorians would hold dominant . Rumors existed that Shysa was the true power behind Spar , but most knew Shysa as Spar ' s most loyal follower . Mandalore . Spar , bearing a desire for order and a hatred of the Jedi Order for its part in killing the Mandalorians at the Battle of Galidraan , joined the Protectors to the cause of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . The Mandalore put the " Pursuer " - class enforcement ship into use among his unit . Recalling how Mandallian Giant s had been used by the Mandalorians on the front lines of the New Sith Wars , as well as Fenn Shysa ' s encounter with the droid C - 3PX , Spar also had the droid foundries of the Separatists produce a limited run of one thousand BL - series Battle Legionnaire droids . Spar and his Protectors fought the Jedi and Republic around the galaxy , including at New Holstice , Null , and Zaadja . Supercommando squads engaged in covert missions on behalf of the Separatists . Near the climax of the war , Spar and the Protectors helped the government of Mandalore capture the facilities of MandalMotors in the city of Keldabe for Separatist use . When a prominent Separatist commander was killed , the Mandalorians and their Battle Legionnaire droids retaliated at New Bornalex and Kamino . The Republic sent assassins after Spar , but they failed to kill him . Near the end of the war , secret Separatist leader Darth Sidious instructed the Mandalorian government to dispatch Spar and his supercommandos to Norval II to capture Senator Padmé Amidala . Sidious betrayed them , however , and the mission sent the group into a Republic ambush . All but three of the Protectors were killed — Spar , Shysa , and Dala alone survived . The shell - shocked Spar left his post of Mandalore . He remained on the planet Mandalore for some time after , and Shysa made repeated unsuccessful attempts to get the ex - Mandalore to resume his post . After the Protectors . In the last half - year of the war , Spar met the clone deserter Fi in the city of Enceri ; in the following days , the two met again in the " Oyu ' baat " tapcafe in Keldabe , where Spar was joined by Shysa and Sull , another ARC trooper deserter . Hoping a Fett could hold together the people of Mandalore , Shysa tried to convince Spar once again to return to his role . Spar allowed Shysa to float the idea that he was considering a return , but did not commit ; he ultimately would refuse the position . The meeting ended with the arrival of ex - Jedi Bardan Jusik ; Sull bore a grudge against Jedi and started an altercation , which Spar attempted to break up . Spar himself still held resentment for Jusik as a Jedi , however , and the two ARC troopers confronted Jusik and Fi as they were preparing to leave for Coruscant . Jusik put himself at their mercy , and after learning that he bore no more allegiance to the Jedi , Spar backed down , with Sull following suit . Having heard rumors that Jusik ' s friend , Kal Skirata , was in pursuit of a cure for the clones ' rapid aging and shortened lifespan , Spar verified the story with Jusik . Jusik confirmed it , and Spar and Sull joined the other two to head to Coruscant . Spar reunited with Gilimar and met with Skirata a month later on Coruscant . The ex - Mandalore agreed to join with Skirata in exchange for a share of whatever treatment they found . Skirata informed them of Ovolot Qail Uthan , a Separatist scientist who had worked on the clone genome and could help them ; at the time , she was in the Republic ' s custody . He also wanted to free his daughter , Ruusaan , imprisoned in the Republic Detention Center in Pols Anaxes . It was to this mission that Spar was assigned , alongside Sull , Fi , and Jusik . After almost two months of preparation , the trio of clones infiltrated the center on Anaxes disguised in clone trooper armor , with Jusik as their supposed prisoner . They claimed to the camp commander that Jusik was there to identify Ruusaan , presenting false credentials to move her to Coruscant . Upon removing Ruusaan from her cell , the girl proved recalcitrant ; Spar had to restrain her until Jusik administered a Force Stun . They were able to get her to their spacecraft and escape the planet . They rendezvoused with Skirata ' s adopted son , Ordo , on Coruscant , right in the middle of the Battle of Coruscant . Jusik was able to get Spar offworld in his Aggressor assault fighter , along with Sull ; Ruusaan Skirata ; ARC trooper Mereel ; Uthan ; and Jango Fett ' s sister , Arla — the latter two of whom had been sprung from custody on Coruscant in the days prior . With Spar refusing to return , Fenn Shysa succeeded him as Mandalore . Spar went to Skirata ' s stronghold at Kyrimorut a few months later to be immunized by Uthan against the FG36 virus , a bioweapon designed by Uthan and now in use by the new Galactic Empire . While there , Spar learned of Uthan ' s progress on her cure for rapid aging and volunteered to trial anything that she developed . Spar eventually disappeared into the Extrictarium Nebula . There , he succumbed to clone madness as his mind attempted to sort out the two sets of memories within it . Years later , Ailyn Vel found him within the nebula . By this point , Spar was unsure whether he was experiencing reality or hallucinating . Believing Spar to be her father , Boba Fett , Vel shot the man dead . Legacy . Ailyn Vel took Spar ' s Mandalorian armor and ARC trooper " kama " , using it to masquerade as Boba Fett in her job as a bounty hunter . She was not the only one who mistook him as such , however . Because the Protectors had known him as the son of Jango Fett , Fenn Shysa identified his commander in the Clone Wars as Boba Fett decades later . Personality and traits . As a clone on Kamino , Alpha - Ø2 showed independence far beyond the norm for his fellow soldiers , and the uniform anonymity enforced in the Kaminoan facilities rankled his free - thinking personality . During his training , Alpha - Ø2 saw what was coming for the clone army , and it was this belief that partly drove him to escape . Fi , a deserter from the Grand Army , did not believe that Spar felt guilt over his own desertion ; however , he suspected that the ARC trooper had some regret in his past . Though never a cheerful man , Spar was affected by the war — it removed something from him , leaving him shell - shocked and eventually bringing forth his descent into complete delusion and inability to distinguish reality . Spar was a perceptive and knowledgeable individual who kept track of information that passed through Mandalore . He was adept in stealth combat tactics and was able to throw off enemies trying to track his location . His training and the skills he inherited from Fett gave him an edge in survival in the wider galaxy . Unlike other clone troopers , Spar did not abide by rules of engagement , preferring to kill rather than to take prisoners . Spar put great stock in the old traditions of the Mandalorians . He despised Fett for selling his genes to create the Grand Army ; however , Spar was a mercenary himself , seeking payment for jobs he took . He held a continuing grudge against the Jedi , even resenting those who had left the Order . Spar took great satisfaction upon learning of the Jedi ' s death at the hands of the clone army during Order 66 , believing it a reflection on their willingness to lead the Grand Army . Behind the scenes . Spar was first created for the roleplaying game sourcebook " Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds " — by Daniel Wallace , Jason Fry , Craig Robert Carey , Jeff Quick , and Jeffrey Quinn — as a non - playable character for use in adventures . Spar ' s character description was brief , only detailing his biography up to his escape and ending with a note that Jango Fett might hunt down the rogue clone in the future . It was Abel G . Peña who retcon ned Spar in the 2005 " Star Wars Insider " article " The History of the Mandalorians " to explain a decades - old reference that , with the release of the prequel trilogy , was now a continuity error . The Marvel Star Wars comic " " , published in 1983 , told how the Mandalorians had fought in the Clone Wars . According to a story told by Fenn Shysa in the comic , Shysa and his friend , Tobbi Dala , had fought under Boba Fett , serving the Emperor to fight the Jedi . During this time , they had been ordered to capture Princess Leia . Most of these references became a problem with later revelations about the Clone Wars : Boba Fett was only ten to thirteen years old during the conflict , Leia was only born after their end , and the Emperor , Palpatine , had only been the Supreme Chancellor at the time . The latter two inconsistencies were solved by having the Mandalorians serve Palpatine in his persona of Darth Sidious and having them capture Leia ' s mother , Padmé Amidala , instead . To solve the issue of Boba Fett ' s appearance , Peña had had the idea of Alpha - Ø2 in mind for some time . When " Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds " was released , Peña realized that Spar could be fit into the role that he had planned . His retcon made Spar the leader of the Mandalorians in the time of the Clone Wars , and due to a rumor that he was the " son of Jango Fett " , characters such as Shysa would think it had been Boba leading them . Peña also created Spar ' s clone name , Alpha - Ø2 . The use of the " Ø " was an instance of image association , a visual sign that set Spar apart and signaled that he was defective in some way . Due to a layout error in the printing of the article , Spar ' s image was mistakenly placed over a heading of Jango and Boba Fett . The large scar visible on Spar ' s face originated in an earlier draft of the article ' s description of Spar . The article did not give a timeframe for Spar ' s death ; Peña estimates that it occurred between 7 and 11 ABY , after the " " trade paperback . New errors arrived with the release of the novel " " by Karen Traviss . While earlier works had established Fenn Shysa as a follower of Spar who was mistaken about his identity , " Revelation " stated that Shysa was the leader behind Spar , using Spar as a figurehead Mandalore and claiming that he was Boba . Traviss ' s next novel , " " , radically altered Spar ' s story further . In the novel , Spar is said to have refused Shysa ' s request to be Mandalore . He never becomes Mandalore and never joins the Separatists ; the novel ends with Shysa becoming what is said to be the first Mandalore since Jango Fett . This new version of events , however , has been an anomaly ; later sources such as " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , " The Essential Atlas " , and " Galaxy at War " confirm that Spar was Mandalore , with the latter source specifically addressing the Shysa aspect as a rumor . Other errors have since occurred — the sequel to " Order 66 " , " " , states Spar received inoculations for Separatist viruses , a statement made difficult by the fact that Spar deserted the Grand Army of the Republic before the Separatists ever went to war against the Republic .
