Boba Fett | Comics

As he was known as the best bounty hunter in the entire galaxy, Jango Fett was approached by Sith Lord Darth Tyranus to be a genetic template of a Clone Army for The Republic. Not only has he received a very handsome payment for that, he also collected an unaltered clone whom he named Boba Fett and started raising him as his own son. Jango was decapitated by Jedi Master Mace Windu when confronted in the first battle of Clone Wars.

This motivated a young and grieving Boba to follow his father’s path of becoming a bounty hunter and take revenge on the Jedi Master who killed him. Even though his attempt at retribution on The Jedi for Jango's death failed, he quickly formed his own gang and gained status as one of the galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters.

Boba had established a syndicate of bounty hunters by himself and worked for Jabba the Hutt. When Sith Lord Darth Vader came to Jabba's Palace looking for best bounty hunters, Jabba sent Boba Fett to Vader. Boba had to apprehend the young Luke Skywalker and the vessel Millennium Falcon for Vader.

Fett left a trail of dead bodies hunting for Skywalker, whom he finally found and tried to take him as a prisoner with no success. Even after his failed attempt to get the boy, Boba was hired by Darth Vader again years later to bring Hutt's best smuggler Han Solo. Boba later delivered a frozen Han Solo from Vader to Jabba's but Solo's rebel friends managed to rescue him in time and a briefly blinded Solo accidentally banged the bounty hunter into the sarlacc pit.

Galaxy's Best Bounty Hunter

Writer John Wagner (Aliens – Berserker, Judge Dredd) played a very prominent role in exploring the character throughout his various major and minor comic-book appearances in the early days. Even though the allegiance of the character is neither good nor evil, he still is arguably one of the most celebrated personalities of the franchise and that even earned him a place in the games based on the chronology as well as the TV series titled “Clone Wars”.
