Boba Fett is a bounty hunter hired by the Empire to track down and capture Han Solo and Chewbacca, and also hired by Jabba the Hutt to capture Han Solo.

A clone of Jango Fett, Boba was created on Kamino and raised as Jango's natural son. Jango trained the boy in the ways of the Mandalorians. Boba grew up to be a bounty hunter feared and dreaded throughout the galaxy, known for his subtle and cunning moves tracking down his prey. Fett commonly worked for the gangster Jabba the Hutt, and held associations with Darth Vader.

Characteristics

Boba Fett is garbed in traditional Mandalorian armor with a string of Wookiee scalps at his shoulder, and owns a variety of specially-modified starcraft bearing the names Slave I through Slave V. Despite his weapon-laden suit of armor, Fett is a subtle hunter and relies more on his cunning and intelligence than on pure muscle and combat skill.

Speaking with a raspy, gravelly voice, Fett allows few to see his face and even fewer to know his origins, giving the hunter a mysterious aura and a psychological edge over his prey. Though Boba is a perfect genetic clone of Jango Fett, a different lifestyle has produced some changes from his father's appearance: while Jango was focused on combat skill, Boba's emphasis on wit over muscle has given him a thinner build.
