## Biography

Boba Fett was created in 32 BBY on Kamino as a clone of Jango Fett. As well as his payment, an unaltered clone of himself was the only thing that Jango had requested in return for him being a template for the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic.

### Clone Wars

Ten years later, in 22 BBY, a Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi came to Kamino in search for Jango, who had been trying to assassinate Padmé Amidala. After discovering the Grand Army, Kenobi was taken to Jango's quarters by Taun We. Boba Fett greeted them and allowed them in to meet his father. However, following the encounter, Jango instructed Boba to pack his belongings and prepare to leave Kamino.

After Jango's brief fight with Kenobi, he and Boba escaped Kamino in *Slave I* and travelled to Geonosis to meet with Darth Tyranus, the man who had secretly recruited Jango to serve as the Clone Army template. Kenobi was later captured by Geonosians and was sent to the Petranaki Arena alongside Anakin Skywalker and Senator Amidala, who were also arrested. Boba and Jango both attended the execution in a balcony alongside Tyranus, Poggle the Lesser, Nute Gunray and Rune Haako.

However, the execution ultimately failed as the three were rescued by Mace Windu and an army of Jedi he had assembled. During the fight, Windu managed to kill Jango Fett. When the battle moved out of the arena following the arrival of the Grand Army, Boba Fett held the helmet of his fallen father.

### Galactic Civil War

In 0 BBY, twenty years after Jango's death, Boba had become an infamous bounty hunter and was employed by Jabba the Hutt. He was among the bounty hunters that accompanied Jabba to Mos Eisley when the crime lord sought to retrieve the payment that Han Solo owed him.

Three years later, Boba Fett was among the bounty hunters hired by the Galactic Empire to track down the *Millennium Falcon,* following its escape from Hoth. Fett pursued the *Falcon* as it made its way to Cloud City on Bespin. Fett and the Empire were able to arrive on Cloud City first, giving Darth Vader the opportunity to manipulate Lando Calrissian into betraying Solo. Fett soon became concerned when he learned that Vader intended to freeze Solo in carbonite, as a test to determine whether Luke Skywalker would be able survive the same process. Vader promised the bounty hunter that he would be compensated by the Empire for the loss of any potential bounty earnings if Solo was to be killed.

After Han Solo was captured, he was frozen in carbonite and given to Boba Fett so that he could take it to Jabba the Hutt, who was tired of Solo's empty promises. Fett gave the frozen Solo to Jabba, in return for a large bounty.

### Defeat

A year later, Fett was present in Jabba's palace when Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian attempted to rescue Solo. After they managed to unfreeze Solo from carbonite, however, the group was captured and sentenced to death at the hands of the Sarlacc Pit. Fett accompanied Jabba's entourage to the Sarlacc. Once they arrived, Skywalker and the others put their plan into motion and began attacking Jabba's forces.

Boba Fett tried to attack Luke Skywalker, who destroyed the bounty hunter's blaster with his lightsaber. Solo, who was still partially blind from being frozen in the carbonite, was alerted that Boba Fett was near and accidentally struck Fett's jetpack with his weapon. The impact caused the jetpack to ignite, causing Fett to fly into the side of Jabba's sail barge and fall into the Sarlacc Pit, defeating the infamous bounty hunter.

Despite falling into the Pit, Fett managed to survive and escape.
