Boba Fett is one of the main characters of the Star Wars franchise. While initially starting out as a villain, Boba Fett would eventually reform after seeing the terrors he caused on innocents and hope to make amend for it.
During the Fall of the Republic and Imperial Eras, Boba was a minor antagonist in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: A New Hope, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the secondary antagonist of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and a major antagonist in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. During the New Republic Era, Boba Fett is a supporting protagonist in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian and the titular main protagonist of the spin-off, The Book of Boba Fett.
One of the two unaltered clone of Jango Fett, Boba was raised by his genetic template as his son. His father was killed by Mace Windu during the first Battle of Geonosis, causing him to develop a hatred for the Jedi. Following his father’s death, Boba attempted to kill the Jedi in retaliation. However, when his attempts failed, Boba turned to a life of bounty hunting. After growing up to become a Bounty Hunter like his father before him, Boba became one of Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen. As the Imperial era ended, Darth Vader hired Fett to capture the Millennium Falcon, and in exchange for his help, Vader would allow him to deliver Han to Jabba the Hutt. after freezing Han in carbonite, Fett took Solo to Jabba’s palace, where he remained as the Hutt's muscle.
Unfortunately, Boba would meet an almost tragic end on Tatooine at least one year later. During a skirmish at the Sarlacc pit between Luke Skywalker and his allies, Boba fell into the Sarlacc, where he would be slowly digested. However, Fett escaped sometime after the Empire had been defeated. His armor was stripped from his body by the Jawa and he was shortly captured by the Tusken Raiders. Despite spending time as a slave, Boba would eventually integrate into their society after helping save a Tusken child. Unfortunately, his newfound family was eventually killed by the Pyke Syndicate, who staged the massacre to make it look like a criminal gang killed Boba’s tribe.
While without his people, Boba saved Fennec Shand’s life, causing her to feel indebted to him. They would eventually reacquire his father’s armor and align themselves with Din Djarin to rescue his adopted son, Grogu from Gideon’s Imperial forces. Afterward, Boba and Fennec returned to Tatooine, where Fett killed a selfish and sloth Bib Fortuna and took over the planet as its new ruler. However, Fett would soon find conflict with the Twins, the Pyke Syndicate, and the Mos Espa criminal families. Fortunately, with the help of the people of Mos Espa and Freetown, Din Djarin, Pelli and her droids and his gotra, Boba defeated the Pyke Syndicate and killed his longtime rival, Cad Bane.

Creation[]
Boba Fett and the young clone girl Omega, were unaltered clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, who took the former in as his son. Unlike the others who matured fast, Boba was made to age at a normal rate. While the clone troopers were eventually enlisted by the Galactic Republic, Jango raised Boba on Kamino and taught him Mandalorian fighting techniques and survival skills, chiefly on how to use a blaster. Jango would also sometimes bring Boba with him on his bounty hunting missions.
However, Fett never regarded the Clone Troopers as his brothers nor of himself as a true Mandalorian.
