Boba Fett

Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. In the films, he is a bounty hunter hired by the Empire and Jabba the Hutt to track down and capture Han Solo and Chewbacca. He appears in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and in the Special Edition of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

A clone of Jango Fett, Boba was created on the planet Kamino and raised as Jango's natural son, not undergoing the growth acceleration process applied to the Clone Army. Trained in the ways of the Mandalorians, he grew up to be a bounty hunter feared and dreaded throughout the galaxy, known for his subtle and cunning moves tracking down his prey. Fett commonly worked for the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and held associations with Darth Vader and other political figures.

In books written before the release of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, he is not a clone, but a former Journeyman Protector named Jaster Mereel.

He is played by Daniel Logan in Attack of the Clones, and by Jeremy Bulloch in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although Jason Wingreen provided his voice in Empire. His brief appearance in A New Hope was performed by Mark Austin. For the 2004 DVD release of Empire, his voice was replaced by Temuera Morrison (who plays Jango Fett) for better continuity throughout the series.
