Boba Fett/Relationships

The relationships of Boba Fett from the Star Wars universe.
==Family==
===Jango Fett===
Jango Fett was the father of Boba Fett. Boba had always admired his father, and desired to make him proud. When Darth Tyrannus first approached Jango regarding the creation of a clone army crafted in his image, Jango accepted the offer on one condition: to be allowed to raise an unaltered clone as his son. Tyrannus agreed to this, and Jango would go on to raise the clone ‘Boba’ to become a great bounty hunter who carries on the Fett legacy. From a very young age, Jango took Boba on bounty hunting missions. In one mission, Boba killed their client who was trying to betray them. This made Jango proud, knowing that his son had started building his reputation. In 22 BBY, Obi-Wan Kenobi tracked Jango down to Kamino and discovered the clone army, causing Jango to leave for Geonosis with Boba. During the ensuing battle, Jedi Master Mace Windu killed Jango. Boba sought revenge against Windu for this, and never got over the trauma it caused. Boba spent the next 26 years trying to live up to his father’s name and title as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. However, in 4 ABY, Han Solo unintentionally knocked Boba into the Sarlaac Pit, nearly killing the bounty hunter. When Boba escaped the pit, he eventually became part of a Tusken tribe, and began to seek family in them. After the Pyke Syndicate massacred the tribe, Boba gave up the life of bounty hunting and wanted to make Tatooine a better place. Boba still respected and loved his father, however, he wanted to choose a new path by becoming a crime lord.
Jango and Boba had a strong relationship that could never be broken.
===Omega===
Omega was an unaltered female clone of Jango Fett, and consequently, the sister of Boba Fett. However, it is unknown if Fett and his sister ever met, or how Fett felt about Omega being a another creation of his father’s genetics, despite being an unaltered clone like him.
===The Clones===
Despite having a relation with the genetically modified clones of his father, Jango Fett, Boba never saw those clones as his brothers. It is possible Boba never regarded all genetically modified clones as his brothers because they all served as reminders of Jango whom the clones could not live up to as they had their personalities where they could not become the type of person Jango was when he was alive.
==Acquaintances==
===Aurra Sing===
Aurra Sing was a legendary bounty hunter and known associate of Boba’s father Jango Fett. After the death of Jango Fett, Sing decided to become a mentor to Boba Fett. Together, Sing and Boba assembled a crew of bounty hunters, and attempted to get revenge on Mace Windu for the death of Jango. Throughout the mission, Sing pushed Boba to do terrible things, and threatened him if he hesitated. Boba knew that he was in the wrong, and regretted everything he did, but he didn’t want to leave Aurra, as she had become a motherly figure to him, something he desperately wanted after the death of Jango. When their plan was thwarted, Sing decided to abandon Boba rather than risk capture. This deeply affected Boba, as he had been abandoned and left alone again.
Aurra Sing and Boba Fett's relationship was one-sided, with Boba loving Aurra as a mother, and Aurra manipulating and mistreating Boba.
===Bossk===
After the death of Jango Fett, Boba Fett assembled a crew of bounty hunters in order to have his revenge. Bossk was among its members. Ultimately, their plan was thwarted by Ahsoka Tano and Plo Koon, and Sing abandoned Fett to try and save her own life. Fett and Bossk were imprisoned by the Republic. However, Bossk took a liking to the young boy, and decided to become a mentor to him. They soon became close friends and planned to set up a bounty hunter syndicate together. After they escaped imprisonment they did just that, and created Krayt’s Claw. Fett and Bossk served on many missions together, and Bossk grew to become very protective over the young boy. At the end of the Clone Wars, Krayt’s Claw was disbanded, however, Fett and Bossk remained friendly and continued working together.
During the Galactic Civil War, Fett and Bossk worked frequently with Dengar Roth, a member of Krayt’s Claw and secondary mentor to Fett. They primarily worked for Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. In 3 ABY, they were hired alongside several other bounty hunters to track down the Millennium Falcon. Fett succeeded in collecting the bounty, and delivered a carbonite-encased Han Solo to Jabba. Bossk was later present in Jabba’s Palace when Luke Skywalker and his crew infiltrated the palace in an attempt to rescue Solo. Fett was to believed to have died in the process, and Bossk merely escaped with his life. Following the battle, Bossk learned of Fett’s presumed death, and became greatly upset over the news. Fett remembered Bossk during his life with the Tusken Raiders and reign as Daimyo of Mos Espa, hoping to meet him again at some point.
===Dengar===
During the midst of the Clone Wars, Boba Fett formed his own bounty hunter syndicate: Krayt’s Claw. Dengar was a member of the syndicate, and became a secondary mentor to Fett. Dengar would often teach Fett his favorite tricks in the bounty hunting business, and would help train him to reach his full potential. They served on many missions together and soon became close friends. At the end of the Clone Wars, Krayt’s Claw was disbanded. However, Fett and Dengar remained on good terms, and continued working together. During the Galactic Civil War, Fett, Dengar, and Bossk frequently worked together. Their main employers were Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader. Following the battle of Hoth, Vader hired the trio, along with fellow bounty hunters IG-88, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM, to track down the Millennium Falcon. Ultimately, Fett tracked down Han Solo to Cloud City, and received the reward. In 4 ABY, Fett, Dengar, and Bossk were present at Jabba’s Palace when the Heroes of Yavin attempted to rescue a carbonite-encased Solo. Fett fell into the Sarlaac Pit defending Jabba, and was believed to have died, deeply troubling Dengar. During his time with the Tusken Raiders and his reign as Daimyo of Mos Espa, Fett remembered his old friend, and wished to reunite with him some time.
Boba Fett and Dengar had a strong friendship. Fett enjoyed working with Dengar due to his proven track record in hunting down bounties, and the past they shared together. The pair had a huge amount of trust and respect for one another. Despite their differences following the Galactic Civil War, with Fett becoming Daimyo of Mos Espa and Dengar remaining a bounty hunter, they both looked back fondly on the time they spent with each other.
===IG-88===
IG-88 held a reputation for being the second best bounty hunter in the galaxy during The Galactic Civil War. He was often noted to be a rival to Boba Fett. The pair had a mutual respect for one another, until IG-88 tracked down Fett to Cloud City in order to steal Han Solo from under his nose. Fett shot IG-88 and left his spare parts in the scrap room.

===Fennec Shand===
Boba first came across Fennec Shand when he found the assassin on the brink of death after she had been severely shot in the stomach by rookie bounty hunter Toro Calican. Taking pity on her, Boba took the injured Fennec with him to get her treated, despite not having enough money to get her the proper medical treatment. After having Fennec get cybernetics implanted on her to save her, Boba took her back to the desert and waited for her to wake up.
===Din Djarin===
After the death of the Tusken tribe Boba Fett had grown to consider his new family, Fett decided to take over Jabba’s Palace and become the new Daimyo of Tatooine. However, Fett first required his armor that he had lost after his escape from the Sarlaac Pit. Fett and Fennec Shand travelled to Typhon after learning that Din Djarin had been gifted the armor by Cobb Vanth. Fett initially threatened Djarin for the armor, but soon changed his tune and decided to take a more peaceful approach. Fett agreed that in exchange for his armor, he would help protect Djarin’s adopted son: Grogu. However, two Imperial transports were sent down from Moff Gideon’s light cruiser, and a skirmish ensued. Fett and Shand assisted Djarin in fending off the Imperial forces, however, Grogu was captured by Dark Troopers in the process. Fett agreed that he would help Djarin rescue Grogu. Fett and Shand then assisted Djarin on his mission to Morak, and then on the attack on Gideon’s cruiser. Eventually, Grogu was safe, and Fett and Shand headed to Tatooine to take over Jabba’s Palace.
During his reign as Daimyo, Fett learned of a war being planned by the Pyke Syndicate. Intent on keeping his new home safe, Fett and Shand asked Djarin for aid. Djarin agreed to help for free out of respect for Fett. After Shand realized the Fett Gotra had no foot soldiers, Djarin visited Freetown to ask for their support. Two Pyke Syndicate soldiers had destroyed the Sanctuary in Mos Espa, leading Fett, Shand and Djarin to investigate. However, in the midst of their investigation, Fett’s old rival Cad Bane showed up to negotiate on behalf of the Pyke Syndicate. Djarin and Shand backed up Fett. Bane taunted Fett by playing with his emotions, but Fett refused to act out of anger. Bane then left to tell the leader. After one of the sector’s of Mos Espa fell under attack, Shand rushed off to give her support. Despite being outnumbered by the Pyke forces, Djarin refused to abandon Fett. The two then fought off all the Pyke forces together. They were nearly defeated until the people of Freetown showed up to support them. Djarin and Fett then fought against two walkers together, before they realised they couldn’t defeat them with their weapons. Fett asked Djarin to distract them whilst he returned to the Palace to collect his Rancor. When Fett returned, Djarin helped the foot soldiers whilst Fett faced the walkers and eventually Cad Bane. When the battle was over, Fett thanked Djarin for his support and the two went their separate ways.
Boba Fett and Din Djarin had a strong friendship. The two shared a lot of similarities including their upbringing, their lifestyle/profession and their morality. Despite Fett initially threatening Djarin when the pair first met on Thyphon, they quickly became close and grew a mutual trust and respect for one another.
==Enemies==
===Mace Windu===
Boba Fett's relationship with his father Jango Fett was extremely strong. However, during the battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu beheaded Jango in the midst of the battle, traumatizing a 10 year old Boba who watched helplessly as his father died. With the help of Aurra Sing, Boba Fett led a crew of bounty hunters in a quest of revenge against Windu. Ultimately, their plan was thwarted by Ahsoka Tano and Plo Koon, and Fett was abandoned by Sing. Before being taken into custody, Fett apologized for everything he had done, accepting he was in the wrong, however, he told Windu he would never forgive him. Windu sternly told Fett that he would have to, before ordering the guards to take him away.
The impact of Windu’s actions scarred Fett for life, and shaped him into a violent, brutal mercenary. During his bounty hunting career, Fett would often visualize his targets to be Windu before killing them. Fett carried out many missions on behalf of the Empire, many of which resulted in the death of Jedi. Fett privately considered their murders to be a form of avenging Jango. Following an assassination attempt on Darth Vader’s life, Fett stepped in and saved the Sith Lord. After this, Vader decided to reveal Windu’s fate to Fett, causing the two to become close friends beyond business purposes. Following the Galactic Civil War, Fett found redemption and became Daimyo of Mos Espa. However, even with his newfound heart, Fett still felt the pain of Windu’s actions, something which he told Fennec Shand after his physical healing in the bacta tank had been completed.
Boba Fett never got over the pain and trauma caused by Mace Windu. Fett hated the Jedi Master, and wanted nothing more than for Windu to face justice.
===Cad Bane===
During the early days of his career, Cad Bane was mentored by Jango Fett. The two became close friends, and had a friendly rivalry regarding which one of them was a better bounty hunter. Ultimately, Jango Fett held that reputation. After Jango's death, Cad Bane decided to mentor Jango's son Boba, whom he already knew due to his past with Jango. Eventually, Bane began training Boba in the ways of bounty hunting. When Bane believed Boba had reached his full potential, he challenged Boba to a duel. This was in order to prove to the rest of the galaxy that he was superior to the Fetts. However, the duel ended in a tie, with both combatants having been shot. Boba’s helmet received a dent, and Bane had to receive cybernetic surgery and wear a headpiece because of this.
During Boba Fett’s reign as Daimyo of Mos Espa in 9 ABY, the Pyke Syndicate hired Cad Bane to help them defeat the Fett Gotra. Bane accepted the offer, not because of the credits, but instead seeing it as an opportunity to prove his superiority over the Fetts, and also an opportunity to take his revenge. Bane first visited Freetown and beat Marshal Cobb Vanth in a standoff as a warning to the people of Freetown not to side with Fett. Later, Bane approached Fett at the ruins of Mos Espa's Sanctuary, taunting him into attacking him. With the support of Shand, Fett was able to resist acting out of anger. Bane taunted Fett once more before leaving to inform the Pyke Syndicate leader of Fett's decision. Bane later returned during the midst of the War for Mos Espa. Fett tried attacking Bane with his Rancor, but Bane activated his flamethrower in the Rancor’s face, knocking Fett off the beast, and causing it to wreak havoc in the city. Bane questioned Fett’s intentions, and tried taunting him again. Bane shot down Fett in a standoff, and shot him again to keep him down. Bane the approached Fett, kicking his weaponry away, and knocking him back down to the ground. Bane then ripped of Fett’s helmet to see the face of his former student before teaching him one last lesson. Before Bane could take his last shot however, Fett rose back up and beat Bane to the ground using his Gaffi Stick. As Fett stood over him, Bane told him he was always going to be a killer, before activating his flamethrower once more. Fett knocked it to the side and stabbed Bane in the chest, killing the famous bounty hunter once and for all. Fett looked down at the body of his former master, before leaving him in the streets.
Although Jango Fett and Cad Bane were extremely close friends, Boba Fett never held the same relationship with the Duros bounty hunter. Bane was always abusive and manipulative towards Boba, and only saw him as an opportunity to gain notoriety. As a young boy, Boba held a huge amount of respect for Bane, but that respect dissolved the more time Boba spent with him. Bane’s death served as a symbol of Boba Fett overcoming his dark past.
===Luke Skywalker===
Following the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader hired Boba Fett to track down the pilot who destroyed the Death Star. Fett traveled to Mos Eisley to learn as much as he could about the pilot, including his name: Luke Skywalker. Fett tracked Skywalker down to Ben Kenobi’s hut. As Skywalker searched the hut for a journal Kenobi had left for him, Fett threw in a flash grenade, blinding the young Jedi-in-training. The two engaged in a duel, where Fett defeated Skywalker with ease. However, before he could capture him, a box flew into Fett’s head, leaving him unconscious. Skywalker merely escaped the hut with the help of R2-D2. Fett returned to Vader to inform him of what happened. Whilst being unsuccessful in his mission, he was able to report the boy’s name to the Sith Lord. Unbeknownst to Fett, he had just revealed to Vader that Darth Sidious had lied to him all this time, and that his son was alive.
Fett continued working frequently for Vader during the Galactic Civil War, and the two became close friends. Following an assassination attempt on Vader’s life which Fett thwarted, Vader revealed his true identity as Anakin Skywalker to Fett, and told him that Luke Skywalker was his son. Fett was later hired by Vader to set a trap for Skywalker on Bespin. With Fett’s assistance, Vader’s plan worked, and Skywalker had fallen into the trap. However, the Jedi was able to escape, following Fett's departure of the planet. The Heroes of Yavin, led by Skywalker, later infiltrated Jabba's Palace in an attempt to free Solo. In the ensuing battle, Fett was knocked into the Sarlacc Pit, and nearly killed. With his reputation destroyed, and his life in ruins, Fett felt a strong hatred for Skywalker and his friends. However, Fett found peace in his life with the Tuskens, and his grudge for the Heroes of Yavin quickly dissolved.
Fett later helped the Mandalorian Din Djarin in his quest to rescue Grogu from the hands of the Imperial Remnant. In the final battle, Fett departed the area in order to successfully carry out Djarin's plan. However, Skywalker boarded Gideon’s Cruiser to rescue Djarin and his crew not long later, having just missed Fett by moments. When Fett returned to Tatooine, Skywalker’s home planet, to free the planet from the forces of the Pyke Syndicate forces, the Fett Gotra recruited Din Djarin, who first visited Skywalker’s Jedi Temple to see Grogu. When Djarin returned, he assisted in the War for Mos Espa, in which the Fett Gotra emerged victorious. Skywalker soon learned of the War, and was surprised, but happy, to learn that Fett has experienced redemption and helped save Tatooine.
Whilst being enemies throughout the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker grew to respect and forgive each other during the Thrawn Campaign, despite not meeting each other. Their ‘rivalry’ ended in peace.

===Han Solo===
In 10 BBY, Boba Fett and Dengar visited the Lodge on the mountain planet of Vandor. Whilst there, he noticed the arrival of Crimson Dawn agents hoping to meet Lando Calrissian, among these agents was newly found smuggled Han Solo. Unbeknownst to Fett however, Solo would play a key role in his career. Following these events, Solo and his partner Chewbacca arrived at Jabba’s Palace, seeking work from the Hutt Crime Lord. Fett was introduced to Solo by Jabba, and the two participated on many adventures together as key acquaintances. However at some point prior to the Battle of Yavin, Solo and Chewbacca dumped a shipment of spice, ending up on bad terms with Jabba. The Hutt placed a large bounty on Solo’s head, and Fett became rivals with the smuggler. Solo also began serving the Alliance to Restore the Republic, causing Fett’s close friend and employer Darth Vader to place a bounty on Solo’s head as well. In 3 ABY, Fett was summoned by Vader alongside many other bounty hunters to track down the Millennium Falcon. Fett succeeded, and took the carbonite-frozen smuggler to Jabba the Hutt. One year later, the Heroes of Yavin infiltrated Jabba’s Palace and freed Solo. In the ensuing battle, Solo unintentionally knocked the bounty Hunter into the Sarlacc Pit. Fett survived the encounter, and found happiness in his new life with the Tuskens, causing him to forgive Solo.
Boba Fett and Han Solo were known as rivals throughout the entire galaxy. Despite this however, Fett forgave Solo in the end, and appreciated the new life Solo inadvertently gave him.

==Employers==
===Jabba the Hutt===
Jabba the Hutt was Boba Fett's main employer. Fett worked for Jabba for almost two decades, and was considered his greatest bounty hunter. When going out to search for targets, Jabba would often bring Fett along as muscle. While Fett disagreed with a lot of Jabba’s decisions (most notably Jabba’s style of leadership), the pair had a muscular respect for one another. After his fall into the Sarlaac Pit however, Boba grew a distaste towards Jabba for being responsible for his near-death experience. This caused Boba to decide to take over Jabba's criminal empire, intending to rule the criminal world through respect rather than ruling with fear like Jabba did.
===Bib Fortuna===
[Coming Soon]
===Darth Vader===
Darth Vader was another frequent employer of Boba Fett. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, Fett assembled a crew of bounty hunters in an attempt to assassinate Mace Windu, in revenge for the death of Jango Fett. Anakin Skywalker assisted Windu in tracking down the young boy, however the two fell into a trap set by Fett. Whilst waiting for support to arrive, Windu explained to Skywalker who Boba Fett was, and why Fett wanted him dead. Fett’s plan failed, and Fett was taken into custody. Skywalker was present when Fett apologized for his actions but told Windu he would never forgive him. Years later, Skywalker assisted Fett in a space battle against Sepratist leaders, oblivious to the fact this was the same boy he encountered years earlier. In the following days, Fett initiated a second assassination attempt on Windu, ultimately being stopped by Palpatine, who privately assured the young boy of his intentions to eradicate the Jedi Order. Unbeknownst to Skywalker and Fett, the two would become close allies during their later years in the Imperial Era.
Almost two decades after the rise of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader arrived at Jabba’s Palace demanding two of his best bounty hunters. Jabba sent Fett and Black Krrsantan to meet with the Sith Lord. While he sent Krrsantan to capture an agent of the Emperor, Fett was tasked with capturing the Rebel Pilot who destroyed the Death Star. Fett interrogated patrons at Chalmun’s cantina, and soon learned the name of the boy: Luke Skywalker. Fett fought Skywalker in Ben Kenobi’s hut on Tatooine. Despite being unsuccessful in his mission, Fett was still able to report the name ‘Skywalker’ to Vader. This is the moment where the Sith Lord realized his son was alive and that he had been lied to by Palpatine all this time. Fett continued doing business with Vader in the years following, and the two became close allies. At some point, Fett began to suspect Vader’s true identity as Jedi General Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, whom he had met back during the days of the Clone Wars, though was unable to confirm it, and was wise enough not to mention anything to the Sith Lord. At some point, Fett saved Vader’s life from an assassination attempt. In the aftermath of the battle, Vader revealed to Fett his true identity as Anakin Skywalker, and his past with the Jedi Order, ultimately confirming Fett’s suspicions. It was here where Fett learned of the fate of Mace Windu, and how Vader had killed him. Because of this, Fett turned down the offer of being payed for saving Vader, and agreed to work for the Empire at a cheaper price. Later, Fett assisted Vader in capturing the Millennium Falcon and its crew. They succeeded in this, and Vader rewarded Fett with a Carbonite-encased Han Solo to give to Jabba. Before departing the planet, Boba delayed Luke just enough time to ensure he would fall into Vader’s trap. Fett continued working with Vader until 4 ABY, where Fett was believed to have died in the Sarlacc Pit defending Jabba from the Heroes of Yavin. In the years following, Fett remembered and looked back fondly on his time with Vader.
Boba Fett and Darth Vader had a strong friendship, mirroring that of the relationship Vader had once held with his clone captain: Rex, during the Clone Wars. Fett and Vader held a huge amount of trust for each other, with Vader even trusting Fett to know his true identity. And the two respected each other immensely.
=== Sheev Palpatine ===
Sheev Palpatine was the mastermind behind countless key events of galactic history. During the later years of the Galactic Republic, he ordered the creation of a clone army using Jango Fett as the template. Jango went on to raise an unaltered clone as a son and heir to the Fett lineage. Palpatine was aware of Boba Fetts existence, as well as his his history as a clone and enemy of the Jedi, particularly Mace Windu who had killed his father. Following Fetts second assassination attempt on Mace Windu, Palpatine met with Fett for the first time, where he spoke privately with the young boy. Palpatine trusted Fett and assured him of his plans to eradicate the Jedi Order and create the Galactic Empire, a fact known to so few, and revealed directly to even fewer. Palpatine knew Fett would make a great ally.
In time, Fett rose to power and fame, eventually earning a reputation for being the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy. Having served the Empire on countless occasions, Fett was highly respected by Palpatine for both his competence, skill, professionalism, intelligence, and honour, and would contact the hunter for crucial tasks he could not trust in the hands of anyone else. Fett likewise held great respect for the Emperor during his younger years and adulthood, especially after learning of the death of Mace Windu, and the destruction of the Jedi Order. Unlike with Darth Vader however, Fett and Palpatines relationship was never personal, and was always held strictly professional. Throughout the Galactic Civil War, Palpatine had lost countless of his key personnel with Fett being one of the last in a long line. Fett was living amongst a tribe of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine, believed to be dead, whilst the Empire fell, however, he did hear about its demise, as well as the defeat of Vader and Sidious, greatly shocking him. In the era of the New Republic, Fett reinvented himself and became a hero of the galaxy, unknowingly becoming a thorn in the side of the recently resurrected Sidious who hoped to rebuild the Empire and spread his influence across the galaxy. Regardless of this, Palpatine still held great respect for the Daimyo, and whilst Fett had turned against the ideology of Palpatine and his Empire, he still respected the professionalism Palpatine had.
