* Unmasked

**Boba Fett** is a major character in the *Star Wars* franchise. He is a clone of the mandalorian bounty hunter, Jango Fett who was raised as his son and after his death, he would continue his legacy, working as a bounty hunter for notable figures such as Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. Soon, Boba would rise to become one of the most notorious bounty hunters in the galaxy.

After the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett would return to Jabba's palace and kill Bib Fortuna, who had taken over Jabba's criminal empire after his death. Boba would then take over the criminal empire, intending to rule it and Tatooine with respect, unlike Jabba who ruled them in fear.

In *The Empire Strikes Back* and *Return of the Jedi*, he was portrayed by the late Jeremy Bulloch and John Morton and voiced by the late Jason Wingreen in the original release. In *The Clone Wars* and *Attack of the Clones*, he was played by Daniel Logan. In *The Mandalorian* and *The Book of Boba Fett*, he was portrayed by Temuera Morrison.
