Boba Fett, originally codenamed Alpha, is a major character in the Star Wars franchise. He was the adopted son of Jango Fett and a famous and dangerous bounty hunter known throughout the galaxy. He later became the daimyo of Tatooine after killing Bib Fortuna.
Though he was originally a villain in the beginning of the series, he became more of an anti-hero following The Mandalorian, where he became an honorable ally to the titular character. Eventually in his own series, he begins to see how much misery he brought upon the innocents as a bounty hunter, and decides to change himself for the better.
In Star Wars Holiday Special, he was voiced by Don Francks. In The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, he was portrayed by the late Jeremy Bulloch and voiced by the late Jason Wingreen, which was later re-dubbed in 2004 by Temuera Morrison, who portrayed him in Battlefront II, The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett. In Attack of the Clones, he was portrayed by Daniel Logan, who also voiced him in The Clone Wars.
Morrison also played Commander Cody in Revenge of the Sith, Delta Squad in Star Wars: Republic Commando, and the other Clone Troopers in Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and The Mandalorian, as well as Clone Trooper Nax and and Jango Fett in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Overview[]
He was raised by his "father", the late bounty hunter Jango Fett, from whom he learned his now meritorious skills, and was nicknamed "Lucky" for being incredibly skilled even as a child. Being raised by a bounty hunter, which explained how he was abnormally skilled, he was a villain all along, and would grow up to be considered among the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy, eventually being hired to track down some of the heroes of the Rebel Alliance during the terrible reign of the Galactic Empire.
After surviving his apparent demise, he became allies with the Mandalorian, Din Djarin, honoring his deal for the return of his armor in exchange for the safety of the Child and fight the Empire. Following this, he returned to Jabba's Palace in Tatootine, where it has been taken over by Bib Fortuna, only for Boba to murder him and usurp his position, effectively starting his own criminal empire.
Personality[]
Boba Fett was originally a emotionless hired gun. This was until he fell into the Sarlacc Pitt. After he flew out, he became much more honorable and less cruel. He is usually emotionless while on the battlefield, although he does seem genuinely happy or mad during key moments. His ambitions also grew, literally taking control of Jabba's palace instead of remaining a simple bounty hunter.
During the series "The Book of Boba Fett", it is shown that the reason for this is that he wants to make Mos Espa a better place.
During the first episodes, it is discovered that Fett was saved by a tribe of Tusken Raiders, who at first held him prisoner, but came to treat him as an equal, which instilled a sense of honor and humility in Fett, who tried to help them as much as he could and came to see them as family.
When the tribe was slaughtered, Fett was left shattered.

Originally, Boba wore green Mandalorian armor, that was worn-out and very chipped. He also had a green jetpack that was also rather worn. He had a tan cape (which appeared to have been made from the same material that Tusken Raiders use for there cloaks) and a braid from a scalped Wookie, slung over his shoulder.
However, Boba would lose his armor after falling into the Sarlacc Pitt. He would get a brown robe and silver armor to protect himself, until he could find his old armor. His armor was now in the possession of Din Djarin. He managed to retrieve his armor once more, and later on, get a new paint job.
