Star Wars Bounty Hunter Wiki

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is a third-person action adventure video game that preludes Episode II Attack of the Clones and tells the story of how and why Jango Fett became the template for the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was developed by LucasArts and released in 2002[1] for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. The game was made available for PlayStation 3, via PlayStation Network, on April 28, 2015. In Japan, the game was re-titled Star Wars: Jango Fett.[2]

When the leader of the Bando Gora cult, Komari Vosa, became a threat to Palpatine's plans, he instructed Dooku, his apprentice, to eliminate her. He also charged Dooku with finding a suitable person to become the template for the future clone army. Dooku decided that he could accomplish both of these tasks by putting a bounty on Vosa, and he only invited the very best to take up the challenge. These included two former Mandalorians: Jango Fett and Montross.

Opening crawlEdit

BOUNTY HUNTER

StoryEdit

Mission to Outland StationEdit

Aboard the Outland Transit Station, two borheks duel in the Pit Fight Arena, where the red challenger battles the standing yellow champion. Above the pit, the MuttaniMeeko Ghintee sits surveying the fight alongside a Rodian and a Gran associate. Meeko is rigging the fight by controlling the red borhek with a neural implant. The red borhek defeats the gold champion, giving the Muttani a reason to celebrate. Jango Fett arrives and shoots down Meeko's associates and in fear the Muttani drops down into the arena. Jango follows Meeko down, asking whether he would rather be caught dead or alive. Still controlling the borhek, Meeko launches the creature into Fett's back, causing him to lose his jetpack. Meeko escapes, and Jango is left to fight the borhek, which he disposes of and starts his pursuit of Meeko. The bounty hunter heads into the trading sector of the Outland Station, where he sneaks up behind an unsuspecting Gran, whom he interrogates to find out the location of Meeko's hideout. Jango retrieves his jetpack from a merchant on the way. Eventually Jango reaches Meeko's hangar, and has to battle the Muttani's ship, the Longshot, before he is able to capture him.

CoruscantEdit

Main article: Mission to Coruscant (The Hunt)

Having turned in his bounty, Rozatta informs Jango of a message for him. A hologram takes the form of a man called Tyranus, who informs Jango that he has been selected for a special hunt. The prize: 5,000,000 credits, dead or alive. The target: Komari Vosa, leader of the Bando Gora cult. Rozatta is very concerned upon learning this, telling Jango that all bounty hunters who have set out to defeat the Bando Gora have vanished. But ultimately she is unable to dissuade Jango from taking on the hunt, remarking that he could run into Montross (Jango's enemy and rival bounty hunter). Jango briefly pauses and replies 'I'd be surprised if I didn't'. Sure enough, Montross has received the same offer from Tyranus.

Jango heads to Coruscant in his trusted ship, the Jaster's Legacy. Rozatta gives him information on a death-stick dealer: Jervis Gloom, wanted alive by the Coruscant Security Force. Both wonder if Gloom may know anything about the Bando Gora, a known death-stick-providing faction. Jango tracks Gloom down in the Industrial District, and learns that he was working for Groff Haugg. Jango pursues Haugg, but is too late, as Montross has already frozen Haugg to death in carbonite. A fight ensues between the bounty hunters, and ends with Montross escaping.

Following the battle with Montross, Jango learns that Senator Trell of Ryloth is somehow involved in the death-stick trade. He heads for the Upper City of Coruscant, where he breaks into the Senator's apartment and dangles the Twi'lek over the edge of a balcony to interrogate him for information. Trell reveals his underworld contact is Sebolto, a powerful Dug death-stick kingpin on Malastare, and pleads to be let go. A police gunship appears and they order Jango to release Trell. He promptly does so, releasing his grip and dropping Trell to his death. Jango then battles with the gunship, which he destroys before leaving Coruscant.

Oovo IVEdit

Rozatta warns that Sebolto will be wary of guests, and provides a more subtle approach. She suggests using a bounty Sebolto posted on Bendix Fust as a welcome introduction gift. Fust, however, is locked up in the asteroid prison on Oovo IV. Jango briefly asks about Montross and Rozatta replies that he's in the Gazzari system. Jango breathes a sigh of relief as that system is nowhere near Malastare; meaning Groff Haugg lied to him.

Jango heads to the prison and manages to sneak into the prison by following and tricking a supply craft's crew into thinking his ship is a glitch in their computer. After making his way inside, Jango meets an old timer of the prison called Smootie. Smootie provides Jango with some useful information about the backstory of Komari Vosa and the Bando Gora before they part ways. Jango arrives at Fust's cell but he is snatched by a female bounty hunter (much to Rozatta's amusement). With a prison riot now in effect, Jango fights his way back to the Jaster's Legacy to find the other bounty hunter and Fust are already there trying to break into the ship. Upon killing the remaining guards, the two bounty hunters swiftly turn their guns on each other but, while they are debating, one of the facility's six prototype Firespray patrol ships flies overhead and destroys the Jaster's Legacy Jango tells the bounty hunter to guard Fust while he sets off to steal one of the ships and Smootie tells him how to disable the prison's shield wall. The bounty hunters succeed, but before leaving, Jango destroys the five remaining Firesprays to prevent the prison from following him. The other bounty hunter deduces Jango's identity, having heard rumors about him and introduces herself as Zam Wesell.

Meanwhile, Montross has realised that Groff Haugg deceived him. As his lead has a vague connection to Bendix Fust, he learns of the riot on Oovo IV and quickly works out that Jango is behind it, realising that he is still in contention for the hunt.

MalastareEdit

Main article: Mission to Malastare (The Hunt)

Zam initially believes that they will deliver Fust and then split the bounty between them but Jango declares that she will deliver Fust. She then realises that Jango is working another job and offers her help but Jango replies that he's letting her tag along as he thinks she might be useful. Jango instructs her to drop him off in the jungle and then convince Sebolto to let her stay and find a way to allow Jango to sneak into Sebolto's Palace. The two eventually meet up inside the compound, but Jango tells Zam to return to the ship while he confronts Sebolto. After he kills Sebolto's guards, Sebolto flees into his death-stick factory, but falls into the machinery and dies with Jango quipping 'That'll be a sour batch'. Jango fights his way through the factory and finds the Bando Gora occupying an underground cave. He finds the Bando Gora ship and tries to access its flight log. It doesn't have one but the instrumentation is in Huttese. Montross appears and briefly battles with him (also taunting him about the death of Jaster Mereel at the Battle of Galidraan), but Zam arrives in the Firespray and Montross retreats, enabling them to escape.

The Firespray boosts away from Malastare. Zam wants to know what's going on with Jango, and presses him for details about his 'other job,' swiftly connecting it to Montross' mention of Vosa. Fett says that the Bando Gora ship visited Tatooine, deducing that one of the two major Hutts, either Jabba or Gardulla, are in league with the Bando Gora. They set a course for Tatooine and Montross, having planted a listening device on the ship, follows them.

TatooineEdit

Jabba and Gardulla are having a feud over the control of Tatooine. Rozatta knows a gift must be presented to one of the Hutts in order to find out which one is working with the Bando Gora. A junk dealer has mentioned a bounty posted by Jabba on the outlaw Longo Two-Guns and his cronies: 50,000 credits, dead or alive. If Jango catches them, he can be guaranteed an audience with Jabba. With Gardulla more of a recluse, Zam and Jango decide to split up to meet with the Hutts. Before she chimes out, Rozatta asks the name of Jango's new ship. He answers, 'Slave I.' Jango tracks down and captures Longo in a podracing hangar in Mos Gamos. When delivering the bounty to Jabba, the Hutt reveals that Gardulla houses the Bando Gora's information. He also asks the bounty hunter to eliminate the rival Hutt. Jango contacts Zam, who informs him that the palace is crawling with Bando Gora and she is not sure she can get inside. Then Jango hears Zam struggling with someone, and her transmission cuts off.

Fett makes his way to Gardulla's palace via Tusken Canyon and infiltrates the compound where he finds Zam in a cell, but won't let her out yet because the empty cell would alert the guards. Zam thinks he's ditching her so he won't have to split the bounty and, furious, calls the guards down on him. Gardulla captures Jango and throws him into an arena pit without his weapons to face off with her pet krayt dragon. However the guards did not take away his cutting laser, with which he is able to escape the arena. He retrieves his weapons and fights through the palace. Jango confronts Gardulla in her throne room, where he steals the key to her vault. Jango tells Gardulla that Jabba sends his regards, then feeds her to the krayt dragon. Jango then kills the dragon before he makes his way to the vault, where he finds an encrypted computer that he sends to Rozatta. Jango returns to Zam's cell and she tries to apologise but he refuses to listen and abandons her. He departs Tatooine in Slave I.

The bounty hunter tries to contact Rozatta again, but is answered by Montross, who has tortured the Toydarian for Vosa's location, which was in the encrypted computer. Jango is positively outraged but Montross calmly replies 'it's just business old buddy'.

KohlmaEdit

Main article: Mission to Kohlma

Slave I boosts back to the Outland Station and docks quickly. Jango runs inside and finds Rozatta lying on the ground, injured. She says Montross has set thermal charges around the station that are ready to blow. However, she still manages to keep the coordinates for Vosa's location. She hands them to Jango and breathes her last words, saying that if Jango succeeds he should find something to live for other than money. Jango leaves moments before Outland Station explodes.

Jango heads to Kohlma, a small moon of Bogden, and finds Montross waiting for him outside Vosa's castle wearing his own Mandalorian jetpack and helmet. The two battle, and Jango finally defeats Montross who requests that he be given 'a warrior's death'. But, as revenge for killing Rozatta, Jango leaves Montross to be mauled by the Bando Gora. Jango then heads for Vosa's Castle, but as he tries to infiltrate the castle, he is overwhelmed by the Bando Gora forces and blacks out.

Two Bando Gora torture Jango until Vosa arrives and questions him, demanding to know who hired him. Jango refuses to answer. She pushes her body onto his, whispering to him, that he will be her slave. Vosa is just getting warmed up when she apparently senses Zam, who somehow followed Fett to the lair and is concealed just outside the interrogation room. Zam smiles at Jango and swiftly blasts the two Bando Gora. Zam and Vosa face off, with Zam apparently having a quick mental debate over whether to first free Jango or secure that big bounty, until Vosa attacks. The two women melee briefly until Vosa deflects a blaster bolt into Zam, who falls. As Vosa approaches to finish Zam off, Zam shoots off Jango's restraints. Jango snatches his blasters off the nearby table and attacks the startled Vosa, who flees. He then checks on an incapacitated Zam and eases her to the floor, telling her to save her strength. Jango gears up, and as he leaves, he comments, 'Back in a minute.'

Jango manages to catch up to Vosa and defeat her, bringing her at blaster point. Komari iterates: 'Which will it be, bounty hunter? Dead, or alive?' Jango lowers his pistol, but after he does so, Komari is strangled by an unseen force and dies. Jango turns around to see a bearded man standing next to him and recognizes him as Tyranus, the man who hired him. Tyranus tells Fett how impressed he is with his work and offers him a secondary deal to come to Kamino to be cloned. Fett accepts the offer on the condition that he wants the first clone unaltered, for himself - thus honoring Rozatta's final wish.

After the deal, Jango carries Zam out of the castle. As they head towards the Slave I, she asks if he would still split the reward 50/50, but Jango tells her to not push her luck.

GameplayEdit

The game is played in third person and includes eighteen 'levels' across six worlds. The worlds featured in the game are Outland Transit Station, Coruscant, Oovo IV, Malastare, Tatooine and Kohlma, a moon of the planet of Bogden. In addition to the main story, the game features secondary objectives which are optional to the player. These secondary objectives are known as bounties, which can be marked by targeting enemies or NPCs with Jango's ID scanner, changing the camera into first person.

There are several unlockable features in the game, which are unlocked by collecting Mandalorian feathers, completing levels and collecting bounties. Each Mandalorian feather collected unlocks a new card from the Wizards of the CoastStar Wars Trading Card Game with focus on the characters in the game. After completing each level, three pages are unlocked from Jango Fett: Open Seasons 1 by Dark Horse Comics. One page of concept art is unlocked for every 3,000 credits earned by catching secondary bounties. A series of outtakes by the voice actors with accompanying animation are unlocked after each game chapter is completed.

BountiesEdit

Bounties are an optional secondary objective in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. They can be found in each chapter except the last one. They are usually found in rooms throughout each level where enemies will not charge at you, allowing you time to track individual targets in each new location. Bounties are not always enemies, and include NPCs who do not attack Jango. In order for the player to claim a bounty, Jango must use his ID scanner and focus the targeting reticle on any creature or droid. If they are bounties, a picture as well as a bit of information about the target will appear. Bounties can be taken either dead or alive. Information on which method is worth more will be presented to Jango after using his scanner. Once a bounty has been identified, Jango can mark the bounty, and the target will be tracked. Jango can claim the bounty either by killing the target or by using the whipcord launcher to fire a fibercord whip to tie up the bounty and capture the target alive. Once a bounty has been dealt with, walking over to the target will present an option to claim the bounty. The reward will immediately follow, and the target will disappear. If a target is killed before being marked, then the bounty is worthless and cannot be claimed.

The following is a list of all the bounties that can be claimed in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter along with their reward.

DevelopmentEdit

'Jango Fett was developed to be an extension of the player's will, the ideal vessel through which the player could live out the fantasy of being the galaxy's most dangerous bounty hunter.'
―Jon Knoles[src]

Production began in November of 2000 when LucasArts were asked to make a game based on Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones featuring Jango Fett. They presented the game design proposal in March of 2001, and development started soon after. Jon Knoles revealed in an interview that they wanted to develop Jango into the ideal action-based video-game character and that he was to be exciting to watch and fun to play. Secondly they wanted to develop a story that fleshed out Fett's character more fully than in Attack of the Clones, while at the same time remaining true to the spirit of his character as seen in the film. It was imperative to not dull the game with a slow story and leaden script; as such, their goal was to work a fine balance between back story, narrative, and action-packed gameplay. Knoles said Jango Fett was developed to be an extension of the player's will, the ideal vessel through which the player could live out the fantasy of being the galaxy's most dangerous bounty hunter. His movement and animation blending system was designed to automatically react to other world objects and to never be unable to use his weapons or devices in any situation. The jet-pack was originally designed to be used in areas specifically designed for its use. When the team got it working, they changed their minds and implemented a rechargeable timer on it so the player could use it anywhere for a limited time.[3] At the most, the crew was over fifty people that were working on the game, excluding Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).[4]

Their concept artists looked to the team's favorite graphic novels for inspiration and the concept artwork by Ralph McQuarrie, Doug Chiang, Joe Johnston, and others who worked on the Star Wars films.[3] They were given access to the Episode II script and concept art early on before the film came out. LucasArts created storyboarded scripts of their cutscenes and gave them to ILM, who developed them into cinematic cutscenes. Knoles envisioned the level layouts and then consulted with lead level designer David Wehr and his level designers. They created a bubble map of the levels which they worked from to determine details in what the player would face and be able to do. The team made a new engine for the game to be able to do what they wanted. The graphic designers worked concurrently with the level designers to create the environments, which the level designers then used to better visualize what they were trying to do.[4] Knoles had previously been involved in the development of the Super Star Wars trilogy for the Super Nintendo and often referred to those games when describing certain aspects of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter to the team.[3]

The PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube versions of the game have different custom in-house graphics engines, each designed specifically to take advantage of the two platforms' unique strengths and work around their unique limitations, but the core game engine is identical. In the PS2 version they took advantage of both vector unit (VU) chips to drive the graphics to maximum performance. The DMA bandwidth was taken advantage of to use a high number of textures. There is full-screen antialiasing and texture mip mapping support. They used the second VU1 chip to handle all the character skinning and VU0 to handle all the skeletal animation transforms. Which enabled dozens of characters to be on-screen without bogging down the frame rate. They had 10 individually optimized rendering loops on VU1 to speed up the rendering process. Their PS2 graphics engine could move 10,000,000 triangles per second, and adding the gameplay, collision, logic, textures, sound would go down accordingly to around 30,000 to 50,000 triangles per frame, all at an average frame rate of 30 frames per second.[3]

In the Nintendo GameCube version, they took advantage of the system's fast CPU to achieve a higher frame rate, and added more polygons to characters, especially Jango, who has roughly twice the polygon count on GameCube. The GameCube's texture compression allowed them to use high-resolution textures. Texture compression also allowed for improved color variance on textures. Mip mapping support across the board on all textures helped provide a rich and consistent environment. They exploited additional memory to improve load times. They implemented projected shadows on all the characters and an increased draw distance to allow for vista views.[3]

Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound assisted in the creation of the game, which was the first collaboration between LucasArts and ILM in the field of in-game cinematics.[5] Knoles said LucasArts and ILM learned a great deal from their cooperation, which allowed ILM to try new methods for creating scenes, as well as new tools and techniques. LucasArts provided ILM with models, textures, and a storyboarded script, and then applied their cinematic expertise in adapting the script into dynamic and visually stunning films. The sound designers of LucasArts and the sound designers at Skywalker Sound worked together to create the game soundtrack. Skywalker Sound made sounds directly for game animations and events, and created Foley sounds.[3]

Tie-insEdit

Jango Fett: Open Seasons was produced as a tie-in comic, composed of four issues released between May and September2002, and compiled in a trade paperback edition in January2003. The comic shows the origins of Jango and how he became a Mandalorian warrior. A portion of the comic was available as unlockable bonus material in the game. Prima Games also released Star Wars: Bounty Hunter: Prima's Official Strategy Guide.

Boba Fett (/ˌbbəˈfɛt/) is a fictional character and bounty hunter in the Star Wars franchise and the pilot of the Slave I spaceship. In Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980), he is hired by Darth Vader to capture Han Solo. He also appears at Jabba the Hutt's palace in Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983). In 1997, he was retroactively added to the Special Edition of Episode IV – A New Hope. The character is noted for speaking very few words and never removing his helmet in the original trilogy.

The prequel film Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) establishes Boba Fett's origin as a clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett, who raised him as his son, and was the original owner of the Slave I. Boba also appears in episodes of The Clone Wars, bridging his storyline between the two trilogies.

Boba Fett is also extensively featured in many works of the non-canonical Legends continuity, in which he is notably revealed to have survived his apparent death after falling into the Sarlacc's Pit in Return of the Jedi, among other adventures. The character's popularity within the Star Wars fanbase has achieved him a cult status.

Appearances[edit]

Boba Fett first appeared at the September 20, 1978, San Anselmo Country Fair parade.[2] The character debuted on television two months later in an animated segment produced by Nelvana for the Star Wars Holiday Special. Fett appears as a mysterious figure who saves Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 from a giant monster, only to be revealed as a bounty hunter working for Darth Vader.[3] After his image and identity were revealed in the Holiday Special, costumed Fett characters appeared in shopping malls and special events, putting up wanted posters of the character to distinguish him from the franchise's Imperial characters.[4] He also appears in Marvel Comics' Star Wars newspaper strip.[3]

Original trilogy era[edit]

Boba's theatrical film debut was in The Empire Strikes Back as the 'next major villain' besides Darth Vader.[5] He is one of six bounty hunters hired by Vader, who promises a reward to whoever captures the crew of the Millennium Falcon. Fett tracks the starship to Cloud City, where Vader captures its passengers and tortures its captain, Han Solo. Wanting to collect a bounty on Solo, Fett confronts Vader about whether Solo will survive carbon freeze, which Vader intends to use on his true target, Luke Skywalker. Vader promises that the Empire will compensate Fett if Solo dies, but he is soon determined to be alive and Vader turns him over to Fett.

Return of the Jedi features Boba Fett at Jabba the Hutt's palace where Han Solo's rescuers are captured, and he travels on Jabba's sail barge to the Great Pit of Carkoon, home of the Sarlacc, where the prisoners are to be executed. When the prisoners mount an escape he attempts to intervene, and ends up in a tussle with Luke Skywalker, but Han Solo accidentally ignites Fett's rocket pack, sending the bounty hunter falling into the Sarlacc's mouth. In this film, he does not have any verbal lines.

Fett appears in an episode of the 1985 Droids animated series set before the original trilogy and produced by the same studio as the animated segment of the Holiday Special. In 'A Race to the Finish', Fett is hired by the Fromms to help them get revenge on the masters of the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. He later turns on them after failing their request, and decides to accept Jabba's bounty on the Fromms as compensation.[6]

In the 1997 Special Edition of the original Star Wars, Fett briefly appears in a new scene outside the Millennium Falcon while Jabba confronts Han Solo.[3]

Prequel trilogy era[edit]

The 2002 prequel film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones revealed that Boba Fett (played by Daniel Logan) is a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who raises him as his son.[3] Boba helps Jango escape from Obi-Wan Kenobi, but later at the Battle of Geonosis, witnesses Jango's death by Jedi MasterMace Windu.[3]

Mandalorian armor resembling Fett's can be seen in the background of a few scenes in Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018).

Television[edit]

The Clone Wars[edit]

Logan reprised his role as the voice of Boba in the CGI animated series The Clone Wars.[7]The final two episodes of the second season in the Cartoon Network animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, entitled 'R2 Come Home' and 'Lethal Trackdown', were first aired on April 30, 2010 and attracted an average of 2.756 million viewers during the original broadcast.[8] The finale is significant for ending 'with twin fandom bangs, courtesy of Boba Fett and a mammoth beast inspired by Godzilla.'[9] Fett's entrance in the series commemorates the 30-year anniversary of the character's appearance in The Empire Strikes Back.[10]

Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu are trapped in the crumbling ruins of a crashed ship while searching for survivors, and only R2-D2 can get out a message to save them—if he can elude vicious gundarks and, worse yet, a crew of determined bounty hunters led by Boba Fett and Aurra Sing. While Anakin and Mace Windu recover from their injuries, Plo Koon and Ahsoka track down Boba Fett from the underworld of Coruscant to the planet Florrum. Boba's revenge scheme finally leads to a climactic battle, and the life of a Republic admiral hangs in the balance. Boba is shown working with bounty hunters Aurra Sing, Bossk, and Castas. With their help, Boba attempts to avenge his father's death at the hands of Mace Windu. However, he is unsuccessful, and as a result of his actions, is sentenced to prison along with Bossk. They escape prison in the fourth season, and Boba forms his own syndicate of bounty hunters, including Bossk and Dengar, who first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back along with Fett.

Comics and videogames[edit]

In the first issue of Darth Vader (2015), the titular antihero hires Boba Fett's band of bounty hunters, who are in the court of Jabba the Hutt, to capture the pilot who destroyed the Death Star.[11] In the 2015 Star Wars comic, Fett discovers the identity of the pilot and tells Darth Vader, who realizes Luke Skywalker is his son.[12]

Fett also appears in videogames Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II.

Legends[edit]

Freesat tv program. In April 2014, the licensed Star Wars novels, comics and video games released up to that point were rebranded by Lucasfilm as Legends and declared non-canon to the official film franchise in order to create a blank slate for the sequel trilogy.[13][14][15]Boba Fett appears extensively in Legends novels, comic books, and video games.[3] Various material depict his work as a bounty hunter, for which he charges 'famously expensive' fees and that he undertakes only when the mission meets 'his harsh sense of justice.'[16] He is notably featured in the 1996 Shadows of the Empire multimedia project.

Works such as Dark Horse Comics' Dark Empire series (1991–1992), set six years after Return of the Jedi,[17] describe Fett escaping from the Sarlacc.[3] In a 1995 anthology story, Fett nearly kills the Sarlacc, and a 1996 story narrates how Dengar, one of the bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back finds him and restores him back to health. During Fett's recovery, he was impersonated by another bounty hunter named Jodo Kast who imitated Fett by wearing a similar suit of Mandalorian armor in order to benefit from Fett's fearsome reputation. Dengar initially confused Kast for Fett during a bounty and after realizing that it was an imposter, he warned Fett, who set a trap that killed Kast.[citation needed]

Star Wars Bounty Hunter Gamecube Review

Before the release of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Daniel Keys Moran developed a backstory for Fett in which he was once named Jaster Mereel,[18] a 'Journeyman Protector' who was convicted of treason. His backstory was depicted differently in Attack of the Clones, leading to the comic Jango Fett: Open Seasons (2003) retconning Mereel to Jango's mentor.[19] A young adult book series called Boba Fett (2002–2004) recounts the events of Attack of the Clones and depicts Fett taking his father's ship and armor to begin his own bounty-hunting career.[3]

Fett encounters his old nemesis Han Solo in a short story set 15 years after the events of Return of the Jedi,[20] and fights side-by-side with him in The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force (2003), set a decade later.In the Legacy of the Force series (2006–2008), set some 35 years after Return of the Jedi, Jaina Solo asks Fett to train her to help her defeat her corrupted brother Jacen. The series reveals that Fett became a family man at one point, though he was forcibly separated from his wife after killing his commanding officer for assaulting her. His wife subsequently disappeared and was presumed dead. Their granddaughter later sought Boba out and married a Mandalorian warrior. Boba's wife was discovered to still be alive, having been frozen in carbonite decades earlier.

The Bounty Hunter Wars[edit]

The Bounty Hunter Wars is a trilogy of science-fiction novels by K.W. Jeter and set in the Star Wars Expanded Universe during the events of the original trilogy. The books in the series were published by Bantam Spectra in July 1998, November 1998, and July 1999.The trilogy depicts Fett as being more communicative than in the films because its plot requires Fett to show 'an ability to convince people as well as kill them'.[21]

The first book, The Mandalorian Armor, starts during the events of Return of the Jedi, shortly after Jabba the Hutt's sail barge is destroyed. Dengar stays with Fett after the latter's near-death experience, and encounters Neelah, a dancer in Jabba's palace who has lost her memory, and thinks Fett can help her. Kuat of Kuat, an Imperial executive, reviews footage from the Great Pit of Carkoon, leading him to suspect that Fett is still alive.It is related in flashbacks set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back that Fett stole a bounty Bossk and Zuckuss were hunting on behalf of the Bounty Hunters Guild. After delivering the bounty, Fett accepted a contract to join the Bounty Hunters Guild in order to break it up.The Emperor met with Darth Vader and Prince Xizor, where the latter revealed that it was he who planned for Fett to join the guild in order to eliminate its weakest members, leaving only the best for the Empire to exploit.

In the second book, Slave Ship, Fett abandons the Slave I to avoid dispelling rumors of his death, and instead steals Bossk's ship. Riding along, Dengar tells Neelah about the split of the Bounty Hunters Guild. After Bossk killed his father, the guild split into two factions: one composed of the older members, and another composed of Bossk and other younger members. Prince Xizor placed an enormous bounty on a renegade stormtrooper who slaughtered his entire ship's crew. Fett, Bossk and Zuckuss captured the trooper, but Fett jettisoned his partners in an escape pod.

In the third and final book, Hard Merchandise, it is related that Fett tried to claim his bounty, but found Xizor waiting to kill him in order to tie up loose ends related to his plot. In an attack on the megalomaniacal prince, Kuat of Kuat had falsified some evidence implicating him in the murder of Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle. This information was on the renegade stormtrooper's ship (which is why Kuat wanted to make sure the bounty hunter was dead) but is retrieved by Fett in the present, as Neelah realizes she is from an elite Kuat family and stops her sinister sister from taking over the now-suicidal Imperial executive's shipyard.[22]

Boba Fett: A Practical Man[edit]

Boba Fett: A Practical Man is an e-novella by Karen Traviss, which was published online in August 2006 by Del Rey Books. Set twenty years after the events of Return of the Jedi, it focuses on what led Boba Fett and the Mandalorians to fend off the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders in The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force (set a few months later).A Yuuzhan Vong named Nom Anor meets Fett on Mandalore and begins giving him and the Mandalorians directions to help their invasion.Fett plans to do as much damage to the invaders as possible, even as he pretends to help them. He instructs a pilot to deliver his plea for help to the New Republic, but with the Vong's next target still unwarned, the world falls without a fight.A Vong warrior asks Fett to assist in killing a Jedi; instead, Fett convinces the Jedi to deliver his message.The Jedi returns and confirms that Fett has a deal: the Mandalorians will continue to masquerade as Vong mercenaries while passing intel to the Republic. Fett agrees to have a few of his best commandos train planetary militias to fight the Vong.[23][24][25][26]

Unproduced works[edit]

A planned live-action TV series developed by Star Wars creator George Lucas before the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney, titled Star Wars: Underworld, would have featured Fett.[27]

Star Wars 1313[edit]

The cancelled LucasArts video game Star Wars 1313, originally announced at E3 2012,[28] would have told the story of Boba Fett's career as a young adult bounty hunter between the prequel and original trilogies.[29] In it, Fett would have navigated past the scum of civilization in an underground area of Coruscant known as Level 1313.[30][31] In 2013, as a result of Disney's acquisition of the franchise, all LucasArts projects then in production were shelved. In a December 2015 interview with /Film, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy stated that the concept art for the game was 'unbelievable' and that, along with Star Wars: Underworld, it was 'something we're spending a lot of time looking at, poring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further'.[32]

The Clone Wars episodes[edit]

Fett was to have appeared in more episodes of The Clone Wars before its cancellation.[33] Footage shown at Star Wars Celebration depicted Cad Bane blasting Boba Fett in the head, which is how he obtained the iconic dent in his helmet. The idea came from George Lucas.[34]

Standalone movie[edit]

In early 2013, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the development of a Star Wars spin-off film written by Simon Kinberg,[35] which Entertainment Weekly reported would focus on Boba Fett during the original trilogy.[36] In mid-2014, Josh Trank was officially announced as the director of an undisclosed spin-off film,[37] but had left the project a year later due to creative differences with Kinberg,[38] causing a teaser for the Fett film to be scrapped from Star Wars Celebration.[39] In May 2018, it was reported that James Mangold had signed on to write and direct a Fett film, with Kinberg attached as producer and co-writer.[40][41] The author of a Fett-focused Legends story stated that Lucasfilm had considered adapting it into a film.[42][43] However, by October, the Fett film was reportedly '100% dead', with the studio instead focusing on the upcoming The Mandalorian series, which utilizes a similar character design.[44] The Fett film was afterwards reported to have also featured the other bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back.[45]

Concept and development[edit]

Boba Fett's costume, helmet, and jetpack from Episode VI

George Lucas created Boba Fett in his April 1978 draft of The Empire Strikes Back, basing the character on Sergio Leone's Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood). The character needed to be designed quickly, as Lucas had agreed for him to be featured in the Star Wars Holiday Special later that year.[46] The character's design stemmed from initial concepts for Darth Vader, who was originally conceived as a rogue bounty hunter.[3] While Vader became less a mercenary and more of a dark knight, the bounty hunter concept remained, and Fett became 'an equally villainous' but 'less conspicuous' character.[5]Concept artistRalph McQuarrie influenced Fett's design, which was finalized by and is credited to Joe Johnston.[47]

Norman Reynolds and the film's art department built the costume.[48] Fett's armor was originally designed for 'super troopers', and was adapted for Fett as the script developed.[49]Screen-tested in all-white, Fett's armor eventually garnered a subdued color scheme intended to visually place him between white-armored 'rank-and-file' Imperial stormtroopers and Vader, who wears black.[5] This color scheme had the added bonus of conveying the 'gray morality' of his character.[5] The character's armor was designed to appear to have been scavenged from multiple sources, and it is adorned with trophies.[5] A description of Fett's armor in the mid-1979 Bantha Tracks newsletter catalyzed 'rampant speculation' about his origins.[4] By 1979, Fett's backstory included having served in an army of Imperial shock troops which had battled the clone troopers of the Republic during the Clone Wars.[50]

Despite two years of widespread publicity about Fett's appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, script rewrites significantly reduced the character's presence in the film.[4] Fett's musical theme, composed by John Williams, is 'not music, exactly' but 'more of a gurgly, viola-and-bassoon thing aurally cross-pollinated with some obscure static sounds.'[51]Sound editorBen Burtt added the sound of jangling spurs, created and performed by the foley artist team of Robert Rutledge and Edward Steidele, to Fett's appearance in Cloud City, intending to make the character menacing and the scene reminiscent of similar gunfighter appearances in Western films. Boba Fett's spaceship is called the Slave I.[52] At one point in Return of the Jedi's development, Fett was conceived as being a main villain, but he was finally replaced with Emperor Palpatine when Lucas decided to not make a third trilogy of Star Wars.[53] Lucas also considered Fett fighting Lando during the Sarlacc sequence.[54]

Daniel Keys Moran, who wrote a few stories featuring Boba Fett, cited Westerns as an influence on his development of the character.[18] Moran said:

The difficult thing with Fett was finding a worldview for him that permitted him to proclaim a Code — given the stark Evil that permeated the Empire, Fett pretty much had to be either 1) Evil, or 2) an incredibly unforgiving, harsh, 'greater good' sort of guy. The second approach worked and has resonated with some readers.[18]

Lucas considered adding a shot of Fett escaping the Sarlacc in later editions of Return of the Jedi, but decided against it because it would have detracted from the story's focus.[55] Lucas also said that, had he known Fett would be so popular, he would have made the character's death 'more exciting'.[55] Lucas at one point considered depicting Vader and Fett as brothers in the prequel films, but discounted it as too 'hokey'.[56] In continuing to develop the character in the prequel films, Lucas closed some avenues for expanding the character's story while opening others.[57] Fett is revealed as having escaped from the Sarlacc in the Legends continuity. In July 2014, Star Wars historian Jonathan W. Winzler revealed that Lucas had told him that Fett escaped from the Sarlacc, but this has yet to be demonstrated in the film canon.[58]

Film casting and production[edit]

Boba Fett is primarily played by Jeremy Bulloch in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Bulloch's half-brother alerted him to the role.[59] He was cast as Fett because the costume happened to fit 'as if a Savile Row tailor had come out and made it';[59][60] he did not have to do a reading or screen test,[61] and Bulloch never worked from a script for either film.[62]

Filming the role for Empire lasted three weeks.[63] The actor was pleased with the costume and used it to convey the character's menace.[62] Bulloch based his performance on Clint Eastwood's portrayal of the Man with No Name in A Fistful of Dollars;[63] similar to the Western character, Bulloch cradled the gun prop, made the character seem ready to shoot, slightly tilted his head, and stood a particular way.[61][64] Bulloch did not try to construct a backstory for the character, and said later that 'the less you do with Boba Fett, the stronger he becomes'.[59] Playing Fett in Empire was both the smallest and most physically uncomfortable role Bulloch has played;[61][65] Bulloch said donning the heavy jetpack was the worst aspect of the role.[66]

Between filming The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Mark Hamill pitched the idea that Fett was Luke Skywalker's mother to George Lucas, which 'he didn't like'.[67]

Bulloch spent four weeks on Return of the Jedi.[63] He was unaware of Fett's demise before filming began and was 'very upset' by the development;[60][62] he would like to have done more with Fett.[62] Still, Bulloch believed killing Fett made the character stronger,[60] and that his 'weak' death makes fans want the character to return.[63] Bulloch thought a scene created for the Special Edition in which Fett flirts with one of Jabba's dancers was not in keeping with the character's nature.[68]

A younger version of the character was played by Daniel Logan in Attack of the Clones. Logan had not seen any of the Star Wars films prior to being cast as Fett, but he watched the original trilogy at Lucas' request.[69] The actor had to rely on his imagination for the bluescreen filming.[69] Both Bulloch and Logan had also expressed interest in reprising their role of Fett in the planned Underworld TV series, but the series remains undeveloped.[70]

Other portrayals[edit]

According to the official Star Wars website, Fett was voiced by Don Francks in the Holiday Special.[71]Inverse also credited the role to him based on his work in later Nelvana productions.[72][a] Bulloch wore Fett's costume in Empire and Jedi, but John Morton filled in during one scene for Empire,[62] and Jason Wingreen voiced the character in Empire. His brief appearance in A New Hope was performed by Industrial Light & Magic creature animator Mark Austin.[62] The character's appearance in the Special Edition footage of Jedi was performed by Don Bies and Nelson Hall. For the 2004 rereleases, Temuera Morrison replaced the character's original voice for the continuity purposes.

The character's voice in National Public Radio's Star Wars radio dramas was provided by Alan Rosenberg in The Empire Strikes Back and Ed Begley, Jr. in Return of the Jedi, Tim Glovatsky in the audio adaptation of Dark Forces: Rebel Agent, Joe Hacker in audio adaptation of the Dark Empire comics, Temuera Morrison for Empire at War, Battlefront II and Battlefront: Elite Squadron, Dee Bradley Baker in The Force Unleashed, The Force Unleashed II and Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Chris Cox in Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, Tom Kane in Galactic Battlegrounds, Demolition and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and Daniel Logan for The Clone Wars and Lego Star Wars: The Video Game.[7]

Fett made a cameo appearance in a live-action mockumentary filmed on the set of Return of the Jedi titled Return of the Ewok (1982).[75] Post-production was never completed, and it has never been officially released.[76]

Boba Fett is a 'cult figure' and one of the most popular Star Wars characters.[56][77] In 2008, Boba Fett was selected by Empire magazine as the 79th greatest movie character of all time, and he is included on Fandomania's list of The 100 Greatest Fictional Characters.[78][79]IGN ranked Boba Fett as the eighth top Star Wars character, due to his status as a fan-favourite and cult following.[80] He personifies 'danger and mystery',[4] and Susan Mayse calls Fett 'the unknowable Star Wars character' who 'delivers mythic presence.'[81] Although Tom Bissell asserts that no one knows why Boba Fett has become so popular, nor cares why, both Lucas and Bulloch cite Fett's mysterious nature as reasons for his popularity.[51][56] Bulloch, who has never fully understood the character's popularity, attributes it to the costume and the respect Fett garners from Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt.[62] The initial Boba Fett toy, more than Fett's actual film appearance, might be responsible for the character's popularity; Henry Jenkins suggests children's play helped the character 'take on a life of its own'.[57][82][83] Moran said Vader's admonition specifically to Fett in The Empire Strikes Back — 'No disintegrations' — gives Fett credibility; he was interested in Fett because the character is 'strong, silent, [and] brutal'.[18] Jeter says that even when Fett appears passive, he conveys 'capability and ruthlessness'.[21] Bissell credits Bulloch for giving Fett 'effortless authority' in his first scene in The Empire Strikes Back, using such nuances as 'cradling' his blaster and slightly cocking his head.[51] Fett's small role in The Empire Strikes Back may actually have made the character seem more intriguing.[4] Logan, who was a Young Artist Award nominee for his portrayal of Fett, compares Fett to 'that boy in school who never talks' and who attracts others' curiosity.[84][85]

Bissell adds that Boba Fett, along with other minor characters like Darth Maul and Kyle Katarn, appeals to adolescent boys' 'images of themselves: essentially bad-ass but .. honorable about it.'[51] This tension and the absence of a clear 'evil nature' (distinct from evil actions) offer Fett dramatic appeal.[51] Furthermore, Fett 'is cool because he was designed to be cool', presenting a 'wicked ambiguity' akin to John Milton's portrayal of Satan in Paradise Lost and Iago in William Shakespeare's Othello.[51] Bissell compares Fett to Beowulf, Ahab, and Huckleberry Finn: characters 'too big' for their original presentation, and apt for continued development in other stories.[51] Moran finds Fett reminiscent of the Man with No Name.[18]

The San Francisco Chronicle describes Boba Fett fans as 'among the most passionate',[47] and the character is important to Star Wars fan culture.[83] Boba Fett's popular following before the character even appeared in The Empire Strikes Back influenced Damon Lindelof's interest in developing Lost across multiple media.[86] Will Brooker calls 'superb' a fan's campaign to have Boba Fett unmasked as a woman.[87] Fan parodies include Boba Phat, a cosplay 'intergalactic booty hunter' created by David James.[88]

In The Clone Wars[edit]

In Episode II, [Boba Fett] saw his father murdered by Mace Windu, however he's still got a long way to go before he becomes the battered bounty hunter we know so well. Aurra's an influence, and not much of a nurturing parental figure – so that plays a part, as well. She preys on his weakness, on his desire for a family. It's pretty dysfunctional, and it sheds an interesting light on both Aurra and Boba. Ultimately, though, Boba's always been a mystery. As much as we reveal, we're not going to take the mystery away from his fans. Not knowing all the answers about Boba is part of what makes him so cool.

Dave Filoni, supervising director for The Clone Wars TV series[89]

IGN reviewer Eric Goldman rated the first episode 8.2/10 and the second 8.8/10, stating 'this was a very layered, exciting episode to end Season 2 on', though he did not appreciate Boba Fett's limited dialogue.[90][91] Bryan Young, a writer for The Huffington Post and Examiner.com, also disliked Fett's responses at the end of the episode when confronting Mace Windu: 'He says something incredibly whiny.' Young does state, however, that '[o]verall, this pair of episodes was a satisfying conclusion to season two, which really upped the game in this series in terms of animation, storytelling and suspense.'[92] GalacticBinder.com's reviewer Chris Smith wrote, 'Lucasfilm delivers another exciting episode to finish off a tremendous second season.'[93] Adam Rosenberg writing in MTV Movies Blog discusses Boba Fett's return: 'He's going to have to be put through a lot more hell before he embraces his inner badass. I'll say though.. he's off to a mighty good start with the dual blasters he wears on his belt. Sure, they're almost the size of his thighs, but hey.. he's still just a kid.'[94]

Merchandising[edit]

Fett is one of the top five best-selling Star Wars action figures,[56] and Boba Fett-related products are 'among the most expensive' Star Wars merchandise.[47] Fett was the first new mail-away action figure created for The Empire Strikes Back;[3][51] although advertised as having a rocket-firing backpack, safety concerns led Kenner to sell his rocket attached.[3] Gray called the early toy 'a rare and precious commodity',[82] and one of the rocket-firing prototypes sold at auction for $16,000 in 2003.[61] In 2018 and 2019, two of the figures were sold at auction, for £69,000 ($USD92,000) and £90,000 ($USD120,000), respectively—each setting the world record for the highest auction price of a Star Wars toy at that time.[95]

In August 2009, Hasbro released a Fett action figure based on McQuarrie's white-armored concept,[96] and Boba Fett as both a child and bounty hunter have been made into Lego minifigures.[97]Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars Trading Card Game includes several Boba Fett cards.[98]Hallmark Cards created a Boba Fett Christmas tree ornament.[56]In January 2015, an unopened Boba Fett figure sold for £18,000 at auction in the UK, the figure was in factory fresh condition and did not have the packaging punched for hanging in a shop.[99]
