Boba Fett

"'I'm a simple man trying to make my way through the galaxy. Like my father before me.'""~ Boba Fett to Din Djarin on Tython"

Boba was the "son" of a Mandalorian warrior, Jango Fett, who had risen to become one of the galaxy's most successful Bounty Hunters. Boba was born in 32 BBY, at the start of the fall of the Galactic Republic on Kamino. Jango was the template for a clone army, requesting he have an unaltered clone for himself to raise as a "son", so that he could continue his legacy through him. This clone was Boba. Boba was trained from birth to become a killer and a hunter, so that in Jango's death, Boba could continue the family name of Fett, and become the next most powerful Bounty Hunter in the galaxy. Jango died on Geonosis in 22 BBY, kick-starting a deep hatred within Boba for a hatred of the Jedi, particularly towards Mace Windu, the Jedi responsible for his "father's" death. Boba took advantage of the criminal connections Jango had created and became another staple within the Bounty Hunter's Guild, creating allies such as Aurra Sing and Bossk. He even helped Sith Apprentice Asajj Ventress and Quinlan-Vos to defeat Count Dooku with his own criminal group: Krayt's Claw.

Sometime after the Clone Wars, Boba found his fathers Mandalorian Armour, and rebuilt it, with his own new colours. Boba began working for much larger criminal empire's such as Jabba the Hutt, and taking jobs from people such as Darth Vader during the Galactic Civil War. One such job required Boba to face off against Luke Skywalker in the old home of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. Boba was the person responsible for alerting Vader to the existence of his son, Luke. During a job for Vader, Boba was also able to capture Han Solo, and take his to Jabba on Tatooine as a prize. Later however, Boba was sent spiraling with his jetpack during a fight into the mouth of a Sarlacc Pit.

The galaxy, thinking him dead, moved on without Boba. However, Boba had infact survived the Sarlacc and watched over characters such as Cobb Vanth and Din Djarin who each owned his armor for a time. With his accomplice Fennec Shand, Boba tracked Djarin to Tython where he requested his armour back. After he regained his armour, Boba helped to get a young Mandalorian-Jedi foundling called Grogu safely returned to Djarin, to repay some debt to him. After the debt was sealed, Boba went back to Tatooine where he killed Bib Fortuna and took his space upon the throne of the criminal Empire there.

The Story of Boba Fett
Boba was created on Kamino amongst many other clones for the Grand Army of the Republic. He was one of millions, however had specifically not been given altered genes. The Clone Template for the army was a bounty hunter called Jango Fett, who has requested a clone for himself which was unaltered without growth or docile altered genes. Jango wanted this clone so that he could train it as his "son" and called it Boba. He wished that after his death, Boba would be able to continue his legacy as the greatest Bounty Hunter in the galaxy and the galaxy would continue to respect and fear the name Fett. Boba was created for Jango in 32 BBY, after the Battle of Naboo and prior to the Fall of the Galactic Republic on Kamino, where he lived and trained with Jango in both blaster, and hand-to-hand combat. Boba quickly showed great promise to Jango and became quickly skilled in many forms of combat and tactics. Jango also made sure that Boba was familiar with the controls and weapons of their ship: Slave I.

 Training to work with a Crew  At some point in his training before the Battle of Geonosis, Boba and Jango were hired by a Twi'lek father who wished to stop his daughter from fleeing to the Black Sun crime syndicate with her Faleen lover. Jango grabbed the assistance of Neelda, a Rodian, Rinn, a Gand, and a Chadra-Fan called Tiver, all of which would provide Boba with the skills of working with a crew. Together they all went to Ord Mantell, where Boba and his new accomplices surrounded the Faleen and the Twi'lek target. The lover ran away, leaving behind his girlfriend surrounded by the Hunters. Refusing to be taken back to her father, the target attempted to jump from the building, however was grabbed by Jango Fett, who had been flying nearby with his Jetpack. After the girl was stunned and ready for transportation, Tiver and Rinn decided to unleash a plan they had to grab Boba and threaten Jango with Boba's life, or surrendering his share of the bounty and leaving. Confident in Boba's ability, Jango refused to surrender his part of the bounty. Taking his moment wisely, Boba turned and freed himself from Tiver, who had been over him with his blades to Boba's throat. Boba killed both Tiver and Rinn with ease, and turned his gun on the remaining hunter, Neelda. He was ready to kill Neelda, however soon realized that the Rodian was not part of the other's plan, and let him go with his life however making him surrender his share. With that, Boba and Jango returned the Twi'lek to her father and gained the full bounty for themselves.
