Jango Fett

Template:Star Wars Character info

**Jango Fett** was a human bounty hunter who was used as the template for the Galactic Republic's Clone Army, although Fett himself was affiliated with the Separatists and Darth Tyranus.

## Biography

An infamous and skilled bounty hunter, Jango Fett was recruited by Darth Tyranus to serve as the template for the Clone Army of the Republic, which was being secretly manufactured on Kamino. As well as his payment, Fett requested one thing: a clone of himself without accelerated growth and without any alterations. This clone would serve as his son, which he named Boba Fett.

### Assassination attempts on Senator Amidala

In 22 BBY, Tyranus sent Jango Fett and an assassin named Zam Wesell on a mission to Coruscant where they had to kill Senator Padmé Amidala, as payment for the Trade Federation joining Tyranus' Separatist Alliance. After several attempts, the mission ultimately failed when Wesell was captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. In order to prevent Wesell from revealing the name of who she was working for, Fett shot her with a Kamino saberdart before fleeing the planet.

However, Kenobi used the saberdart to find the location of Kamino and followed Fett to the planet. While there, Kenobi discovered the Clone Army and reported it to the Jedi Council. After Kenobi was introduced to Jango and Boba by Taun We, Fett and his son fled the planet. Following a brief fight with Kenobi, their ship was once again followed by Kenobi to Geonosis, where Kenobi uncovered a meeting between Tyranus and the Separatist Council. The Jedi reported this to the Galactic Republic leadership. The Galactic Senate subsequently voted to commission the Clone Army in order to combat the Separatists.

### Battle of Geonosis

Kenobi was soon captured by Geonosians. Not long after, Jango Fett and several droidekas were able to capture Anakin Skywalker and Senator Amidala in the Geonosian droid factory. Amidala and Skywalker were sent to the execution arena alongside Kenobi, an event which Fett and his son attended alongside Tyranus, Poggle the Lesser and Nute Gunray. The trio were able to defeat the monsters that were supposed to execute them shortly before hundreds of Jedi arrived to save them, an operation led by Mace Windu. The arena became a battlefield with Jedi fighting against the Separatist Droid Army.

During the battle, Jango Fett killed Coleman Trebor when the latter jumped up to the viewing balcony in an attempt to kill Tyranus. Fett then used his jetpack to fly into the arena. Jango attempted to fight Mace Windu, who used his lightsaber to destroy Fett's blaster and decapitate him.

### Legacy

Shortly after Fett's death, the Clone Army came to aid the Jedi against the Separatists, sparking the beginning of the Clone Wars. Due to the inhibitor chips inside each clone trooper's head, they were forced to execute Order 66 at the end of the war, wiping out a majority of the Jedi. This cleared the path for the establishment of the Galactic Empire by Darth Sidious, the former master of Darth Tyranus.

Boba Fett became one of the most feared and respected bounty hunters, coming into the service of the Galactic Empire and Jabba the Hutt at the height of his career.
