The Book of Boba Fett is finally premiering on Disney Plus, so if you need a quick refresher on
the entire history of the titular character, don’t worry, this video has you covered.
In Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, we learn that Boba Fett is an unaltered clone of
Jango Fett, a Mandalorian bounty hunter known as the best mercenary in the galaxy.
Jango raises Boba Fett as his son, his price for allowing the Republic to use him as a template
for its clone army. Following Jango Fett’s death at the hands of the jedi Mace Windu,
a young Boba Fett takes his father’s Mandalorian armor as his own.
In the animated Clone Wars series, a teenaged Boba Fett seeks revenge on Mace Windu. He infiltrates a
team of clone trooper cadets to board Mace Windu’s flagship, which he sabotages by placing a bomb
in Windu’s quarters. When Windu’s ship crash lands on the planet Vanqor, Fett is joined
by his bounty hunting allies Bossk, Aurra Sing, and Castas to attempt to finish off Mace Windu.
Mace is rescued by fellow Jedi Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano, who also eventually manage to capture Fett
and Bossk and sabotage Fett’s ship, the Slave One, to crash when Aurra Sing attempts to escape.
A little while later, Boba Fett manages to escape prison and forms a bounty hunting
syndicate known as Krayt’s Claw, which included members like Bossk and Dengar.
The Clone Wars animated series was canceled before it was able
to complete its planned storyline, but an unproduced scene has made its way online.
Boba Fett confronts the villainous fan favorite bounty hunter Cad Bane and the two enter a duel,
which ends with Fett’s helmet receiving its infamous and mysterious dent.
As years pass, Boba Fett grows up to be known as one of the deadliest bounty hunters in the galaxy.
The Empire Strikes Back finds an adult Boba Fett working with Darth Vader to track down the
smuggler Han Solo. Upon Han Solo’s capture, Vader turns the smuggler over to Fett, who then delivers
Han to Jabba the Hutt to collect the bounty that Jabba had previously put on Solo’s head. Fett
and his bounty hunter allies help thwart a rescue attempt by Han’s friends Luke Skywalker, Princess
Leia, and Chewbacca, and Jabba sentences them all to death. Jabba, Fett and the others escort Han
and his friends to a Sarlacc pit for execution, but the prisoners manage to escape and Han Solo
inadvertently hits Fett’s jetpack, causing it to malfunction and send him flying into the
Sarlacc’s mouth, seemingly killing him. Following Fett’s presumed death, Leia manages to kill Jabba,
leading to his cowardly and mischievous aid Bib Fortuna taking charge of Jabba’s Palace.
After Boba Fett’s presumed death, a group of Jawas salvage his Mandalorian armor and sell
it to a man named Cobb Vanth, who uses it to aid in his protection of a small village on Tatooine.
Cobb eventually crosses paths with another Mandalorian, Din Djarin, who assists Cobb in
killing a krayt dragon terrorizing the village in exchange for Boba Fett’s armor. Din’s staunch
religious beliefs led to him believing only a true Mandalorian could wear the armor. Din was also on
a mission to deliver a young Jedi child, Grogu, to safety. Unbeknownst to Din, he was currently being
tracked by a very much alive, although heavily scarred Boba Fett. Fett was now accompanied by
a new partner, Fennec Shand, an assassin who had previously crossed paths with Din Djarin,
resulting in her own presumed death. Boba Fett had saved her, resulting in parts of her body
now being replaced with cybernetics. Fett and Fennec confront Din Djarin and agree to assist
in the protection of Grogu in exchange for Jango’s armor. When Grogu is captured by the villainous
Moff Gideon, Fett and Fennec join Din and fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan on a rescue mission. The
crew defeat Gideon and rescue Grogu, who is then safely delivered to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Following this, Fennec accompanies Boba Fett, back in his father’s armor,
to Tatooine where the bounty hunter kills Bib Fortuna and takes Jabba’s Palace for his own.
And that’s the story of Boba Fett so far, but there’s so much more that the Book of Boba Fett
can potentially build off of. MANY other clones of Jango Fett are out there and have been major
characters in other Star Wars media. Captain Rex is a prominent character in The Clone Wars series,
fighting alongside and befriending Jedi like Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Star Wars:
The Bad Batch focuses on Clone Force 99, a squad of clones who have been
genetically modified to be different from their brothers in the clone army, with each
member possessing their own unique mutation that made them superior to the other clones,
like enhanced eyesight, intelligence, and strength. It’s also established in The Bad
Batch that Boba Fett’s original code name was Alpha, as the first genetically unaltered male
clone of Jango, and that a genetically unaltered female clone, known as Omega, was also created.
Will Boba Fett cross paths with any of Jango’s other clones in the live action Book of Boba Fett?
Well, we’ve gotta watch the show to find out.
