After the death of his father Jango Fett on Geonosis, Boba began to follow in his footsteps,
and traverse the Galaxy as one of the best bounty hunters alive.
Throughout his time as a bounty hunter, Boba never cared much for objects or keepsakes,
with the exception of his father’s armor, but that was all about to change on one fateful
day, when Boba became deeply attached to a single object, more than any he has ever touched.
His Clone Wars helmet.
So, how did he get?
Lets find out!
Before we get into it, make sure you’re subscribed for more awesome Star Wars lore
content.
So, the story begins inside of a very dodgy cantina, where Boba, Bossk, Latts Razzi and
Denar are enjoying a drink, on one of the rare breaks that they got.
Boba is sitting, admiring with pure glee, the helmet sitting in front of him.
He thinks to himself, “I’ve never cared much for objects.
When it comes to keepsakes, I’m just not that sentimental…
Well, with the exception of my father’s armour.”.
Boba continues on, deep in his own thought, wondering why most bounty hunters waste their
lives in pursuit of the perfect weapon and the perfect payday…
Two goals that they believe will bring them happiness.
In his own mind, Boba Scoffs at that idea, and knows that he only tkakes bounties because
he needs the credits…
He needed credits to stay ahead of the jedi, and he was willing to use whatever tool he
could to finish the mission…
But that was before the Korasa job.
On that rainy day, everything changed for Boba Fett, and his outlook on life and the
purpose of bounty hunting was altered forever.
On that Day, he learnt to take please in the little things and some lessons which would
stick with him for life…
Just as he remembers this, Boba’s mind is jolted violently back into a memory of the
Korasa job, where is just about to enter the target facility of his mission.
The mission happens to be in the dark, rainy world of Kamino, in the heart of Timira city.
A city of secrets nestled in the arms of a planet of storms.
Boba has a team of fellow bounty hunters with him for this mission, being Bossk and C-21
Highsinger.
As the group of bounty hunters approach their entrance point in the platforms of Kamino,
Boba instructs the others to follow his lead and obey a strict noise protocol from now
on, to avoid detection…
And boba squarely points this comment at Bossk.
Bossk is annoyed by this and asks, “what about the droid”...
Boba however responds to this by telling him that highsinger is not exactly the talkative…
and that’s why they got along so well…
High singer groans at Boba, before displaying his extremely well equipped arsenal of weapons
and showing boba that his body contains a vasy array of tracking sensors, specifically
for this mission.
While this is happening, a sullustan man by the name Nub Jakkak approaches the Clone Trooper
guards of Kamino, who question why he took so long to return to the planet after going
on his mysterious mission.
Nub responds to the clones, telling them that he and his crew had some calibration issues,
and had to make a maintenance stop on the moon Korasa, which was the third moon of Kamino.
He notes to the Clone Troopers that when he landed, his ship’s weight was still a little
bit over the limit, almost like he was being followed, and had stowaways on board.
The moment he finishes this sentence, Highsinger leaps out of his cover, and faces down the
Clone guards, leaving them completely confused.
How could a bounty hunter break through to the heart of the Republic’s military creation
and training centre.
Moments later, Highsinger brutally shreds through the weapons of the Clone troopers,
literally disintegrating them as he swipes, giving the troopers absolutely no chance at
fighting back.
The commanding officer then orders Clone Trooper Seeker to rush away from the bounty hunters
and sound the alarm, so that the base can be warned… but the bounty hunters aren’t
going to let this happen easily.
Bossk then arrives on the scene and lifts the sullustan man up, hurling him meters away
on to the cold, hard platform, while highsinger knocks 2 of the troopers out cold by smashing
their heads together…
As Nub Jakkak is flying through the air, he lands right on the other clone trooper, also
knocking him out…
Boba is not impressed with just how loud and risky that approach was, but Bossky defends
him self saying he was forced to improvise, since all of his other weapons make big booms
and bangs…
Brushing this off, Boba and the crew rush through the gates of Timira City, ready to
conduct their mysterious heist.
While this is happening, Master plo Koon and Shaak Ti are having a conversation inside
the secure complex of the base, where Shaak Ti is requisition to join a protection detail
for some ancient shrine relics, which are somehow calling to her through teh force.
Shaak Ti tells plo koon that she feels a strong stirring in the force coming from the recently
discovered, ancient Mandalorian artifacts, and because of this, she must be the one to
guard them.
Plo koon notes that the finding of these Mandalorian artefacts was a very rare and very lucky accomplishment.
Two of the items in the collection came from the moon of Korasa, where we know the Sullustan
from earlier just came from, with a delivery.
The specialists inside of the artefact vault have literally been so captured by the beauty
and mystery of the relics that the haven’t left the vault in 5 days.
After overhearing this confirmation, Boba fett knows his in luck, and has just stumbled
across one of the largest and most expensive artefact collections in the galaxy.
At this point, Boba and his crew know they must make secrecy a priority, if they want
to claim the mythical Blade of Beginnings, a priceless Mandalorian relic from many millennia
ago.
Before boba can enact his quiet and careful approach to the heist, he is unfortunately
greeted by a huge boom coming from near the Jedi…
Unfortunately for him, he’s not the only one who managed to get the intel about a massive
artefact collection on Kamino.
Instead, Dengar and Latts Razzi have teamed up to take a more “explosive” approach
to the heist, trying to take their desired relics by sheer force.
Bossk immediately recognizes the two as rivals, and is almost ready to give up on fetching
these relics because of the extreme danger the other two bounty hunters have now put
them in with these dangerous acts.
Boba however urges Bossk to put his weapon down and continue on with the mission as planned,
because a good distraction is just as effective as stealth.
This competition simply raises the stakes.
In response to this, Plo Koon sounds the alarm, hoping the clone detail for the facility will
lock down the vault full of the relics, and in the meantime, he and Shaak Ti prepare themselves
for a showdown with both bounty hunter teams.
Dengar then aims his blaster squarely at Shaak Ti, firing as rapidly as he can, and calls
over to Latts Razzi, warning her to take the jedi down fast since they have a nasy habit
of pulling tricks from their sleeves… and those robes have a lot of sleeve.
This sends Shaak Ti into a state of maximum defence, swinging her blue blade rapidly in
ever direction, and scoffing at dengar, telling them that frontal attacks are pointless against
a Jedi.
After hearing this, Latts Razzi has a different plan…
She calls out “what about a sideways attack?”, before using her boa to wrap around Shaak
Ti’s brists, causing her to drop both of her plades, and be left completely defencless.
In desperation, she calls out to Master Plo for a little assistance, to which he rapidly
ignites his own lightsaber and severs the boa.
As Plo does this, he taunts Razzi, telling her “we encourage such tactics, hunter.
For all your efforts, you’ve simply sacrificed a weapon!”.
While the fight rages, on, Boba Fett takes the stealthier approach, remaining hidden…
offering to sacrifice his own weapon… one they won’t see coming until it’s too late.
Boba then unleashes a large swarm of buzz droids, knowing that there are very few fighting
units as effective as a sawm of buzz droids… especially one that’s been re-programmed
not to target boba and his crew.
As this is happening, a squad of Clone Troopers rush down to see what’s going on, with the
commander ordering his men to ready their weapons for a very serious firefight, and
they are shocked to find so many droids.
One of the privates warns his commanding officer that the buzz droids are even coming through
the walls now, to which he is slapped down and told not to whine about it…
Moments later, the Commander gets separated from his group, and the private shouts out
“sorry commander, but you’re own your own for now!
We’ve been ambushed and can’t bring up support”.
As he says this, Master Plo and Shaak ti rush up and tell him that he has no need to explain
himself, because they’re all on the same wavelength.
While the chaos of the fight is occupying the Jedi and the clone troopers, Boba and
his crew manage to find the entrance to the vault, after all this time.
Dengar and Latts notice this, and Dengar is not going to let a kid get the better of him,
so he rushes off to enter the vault.
This then alerts Plo Koon and Shaak Ti, who badly want to get to the vault to stop them,
but know if they do that… a lot more than just the artefacts are going to be destroyed
in this platform city…
A short while after, Boba, Bossk and Highsinger manage to get into the vault of Mandalorian
artefacts and are in amazement at what they find.
Despite this, the one major item that they were looking for, the blade of beginnings
isn’t immediately in sight, causing Bossk to panic.
Boba however has a handy little trick up his sleeve.
He tells bossk that the whole reason they forced that Sullustan freighter to land on
Korasa was because he needed a handful of a specific moon dust with revealing properties.
Boba then sprinkles the very fine sand over the empty spot on the display, revealing the
ancient mandalorian weapon, the blade of beginnings.
The moment he does this, Dengar and Latts find their way into the main storage room
of the vault, and they give Boba and his crew an ultimatum.
Either they hand over the blade or he’ll put a blaster between his eyes and take the
blade from his cold, dead hands.
Boba however tells Dengar that he should prime his weapon before tough talking, and then
throws a flurry of smoke grenades, which activate the smoke alarms causing Dengar to panic.
At this point, Denar shoots a flurry of blaster bolts at Boba, and he is moments away from
having one go right throug his head, but by sheer luck and good timing, boba manages to
take the helmet from the display and it deflects the blaster bolt away, saving his life.
Boba is left in a state of shock, not even being able to respond properly to bossk’s
pleas to leave the building, because he knows just how close he was to death.
A while later, after the dust settles, Latts Razzi and Dengar are arrested by the republic,
and Plo Koon commends Shaak ti for good work, but is disappointed that they lost the relics.
although she tells Master Plo that actually… they lost nothing.
After studying the relics, they were found to be fake.
The shoddy markings on all of the relics gave it away.
And to end the story, Boba and his crew get away from the scene, with Boba leaving one
small detail hidden from Bossk.
He didn’t tell him that one of these fakes was worth it’s weight in credits.
A helmet that could reflect a blaster round would come in handy…
With a helmet like this, One day, even the Jedi would fear the name boba fett.
And from that day on, the helmet held incredible sentimental value to boba ,for saving his
life on that fateful day.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
