About Boba Fett:
Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is an armoured bounty hunter featured in both the original and prequel film trilogies, although he first appeared in the "Star Wars Holiday Special" (1978), voiced by Don Francks.
In the original trilogy, the character is a supporting antagonist and was mainly portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch and voiced by Jason Wingreen.
Notable for his taciturn demeanour and for never removing his helmet, Boba Fett appeared in both "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), employed by the Galactic Empire, and "Return of the Jedi" (1983), serving the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. In the "Empire Strikes Back", he tracked down the Millennium Falcon for Darth Vader, and later delivered Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, to Jabba the Hutt.
While seemingly killed in Return of the Jedi after falling into a sarlacc, he has since appeared in Star Wars media set after the film, confirming his survival.
A preteen Boba Fett is portrayed by Daniel Logan in the prequel film "Attack of the Clones" (2002), which revealed the character's origins as the genetic clone and adoptive son of Jango Fett, also a famous bounty hunter.
The character also appears in many forms of Star Wars media outside of the films, such as books, comics, television series, and video games, many of which depict him as an antihero rather than a villain, and explore his background, motivations, and morality.
Daniel Logan reprised his role as the younger version of Boba Fett in the animated series Star Wars: "The Clone Wars", while Temuera Morrison, who also portrayed Jango in "Attack of the Clones", has portrayed an adult Boba in most of his Star Wars appearances since that film, most prominently in the live-action Disney+ series "The Mandalorian" portrayed by Pedro Pascal (2020) and its spin-off series "The Book of Boba Fett" (2021).
We saw the two seasons of "The Mandalorian" end-to-end a couple of months back and are awaiting "The Book of Boba Fett" to strike our TV screen on Amazon Prime on 29.12.2021.
During the development of "The Empire Strikes Back", Boba Fett was originally conceived as a member of a group of white-armoured Imperial "super-commandos" before the idea was scrapped in favor of a solitary bounty hunter.
This concept later evolved into the "Mandalorians", a cultural group with strong warrior traditions, who sport armour and helmets similar to Fett's.
In several later-released Star Wars works, Fett himself is portrayed as a Mandalorian, or at least connected to the Mandalorian culture through his armour.
The character of Boba Fett has become a fan favorite despite his limited presence in the original Star Wars trilogy, and is now a widely-recognized figure in popular culture.
