In this article you will learn:
Jango Fett- famous Mandalorian mercenary, assassin, bounty hunter. Universe character Star Wars. Fett's history consists of Legends (books) and Canons ( original story from films and books written since 2014). Since Django died in the film, there is no reason not to believe that he was alive before he became a mercenary.
Legends
Birth and childhood
The hero was born in 66 BBY, on the agricultural planet Concord Down in the Mandalore sector, into the Fett family. Django had a sister, Arla.
As a child, Django witnessed the murder of his parents when the planet erupted in civil war and the father hid the True Mandalorians at home.
Death Watch, led by Tor Vizsla, killed Fett's parents and took his sister hostage. Django miraculously managed to escape by hiding. He helped the Mandalorians and they took the boy with them.
Desiring revenge, Django took part in an ambush on Death Watch, where he blew up a tank and shot his parents' killer.
Arla's sister was held captive for a long time, but eventually ended up in a mental hospital on Coruscant.
The Mandalorian
Young Fett
Jango remained among the Mandalorians, where he was raised and trained by leader Jasper Mereel. The hero spent his entire youth in training.
As he grew older, Django became the leader of Django's Grunts. His first mission was to distract a group of thugs, but the enemy turned out to be much larger than expected. In this mess, Fett's mentor, Mereel, died, abandoned by his colleague Montross.
Jango managed to reach the rally point with the dead leader in his arms, after which he blamed Montross for everything, forcing him into exile, and he himself became the leader of the True Mandalorians.
As leader, Jango continued Mereel's work by carrying out orders across the galaxy.
Django and Mereel
The real problem for Fett was Tor Vizsla, who was trying to rebuild Death Watch and accusing the Mandalorians of robbery and murder. He even called the Jedi to deal with them.
When the Jedi, led by Padawan Komari Vosa, arrived at Jango's camp, Fett was angry at Vizsla and ordered fire.
All the Mandalorians were killed in this battle. Angry, Django did what made him famous - he defeated six Jedi with his bare hands. However, the outcome of the battle was predetermined. Fett is the only one left alive.
Slavery and revenge
Django was sold into slavery and for a very long time he was a slave on a ship transporting spices. His captivity lasted until the ship was attacked by pirates.
Fleeing, Fett traveled to the site of the final battle in search of his armor and revenge. Having found the armor, Django set about searching for Vizsla. He found him on the ship "Deathrattle" after getting into a fight. The end of the battle took place on the planet Corellia, where Fett was hit by a poisonous blade, and the wounded Vizsla was torn to pieces by wild cats.
After the death of their leader, Vizla's Death Watch disappeared, ending the civil war on Concord Down.
Canon
Headhunter
The plot of the Canon begins with the first film where the hero appeared, in the film “Attack of the Clones” (In the film his role was played by actor Temuera Morrison), however, there is a small backstory of Django, how he actually signed up to create an army of clones and became a legendary hunter.
After the end of the war, Fett left the Mandalorians, becoming a famous bounty hunter.
Django was a well-known bounty hunter in the criminal world of the Galaxy. He was the embodiment of strength, dexterity and prudence.
In the fight against the enemy, Fett used a sleek armored helmet and armored suit.
In 32 BBY, a famous hunter received a tempting job offer. A certain man named Tyranus, for a huge sum, invited him to hunt the former Jedi Komari Vos, who was one of those who destroyed Fett’s team, and now formed the criminal organization “Bando Gora”.
“Congratulations, Jango Fett. I am Tyranus. I have an offer for you. You are one of those chosen to participate in a special hunt for special prey. If you succeed, your reward will be expressed in five million Republic Credits.”
In his long search for Komari and her organization, Fett met a hunter named Zam Wesell and acquired a new ship, Slave I, to replace the destroyed Jaster's Legacy.
Another hunter with whom Django was destined to clash was an old acquaintance, Montross. He tracked him down on his way to the Bogdan system, where Bando Gora was located, and attacked. Fett emerged victorious in this battle.
After finding Vosa, Django was captured. Komari inflicted many scars on his face, trying to make him her slave, but the hunter was saved in time by Zam Wesell. Together they defeated the fallen Jedi. Django could have killed Komari, but he didn’t; his employer, who was in the room, did it instead - Darth Tyranus, aka former teacher Vos - Dooku.
Tyranus was amazed by Fett's abilities, how he fought and killed the Jedi. All this was just a test for Django, who was offered much more than 5 million credits. The hunter was asked to become a donor to create an army of clones, who in due time will need to carry out “Order 66”.
Attack of the Clones
Fett agreed, traveling to Kamino where replicas of himself were created.
At Django's request, another clone was created without genetic modifications, which the mercenary dubbed . He raised him like own son and hoped that he would someday lead the True Mandalorians.
In 22 BBY, Dooku ordered a mercenary to kill Senator Amidala. Fett entrusted this task to his old acquaintance Zam Wesell. After two unsuccessful assassination attempts, Zam was captured by Obi-Wan Kenobi, after which Jango was forced to kill her with a poisoned dart.
In 22 BBY, Jango and his son attended a performance by Darth Tyranus on the planet Geonosis. A sudden attack by the Jedi forced Fett to once again fight against powerful enemies. He managed to hit several Jedi when he was attacked. Mace was much faster than Django, which is why the famous hunter lost his head.
After this, Boba hated all Jedi and vowed to kill Mace Windu.
A minor character in the Star Wars universe, a bounty hunter from the planet Kamino, a human, a clone. Boba Fett stands on the side of the Galactic Empire, collaborates with. He captured a smuggler and froze him in carbonite.
History of creation
The concept of Boba Fett was born from early designs on Darth Vader. The creators of the Star Wars film saga initially conceived Darth Vader as a space mercenary and bounty hunter. However, this image transformed along the way and took the form of a certain galactic fallen knight. The "criminal element" did not come out of Vader, but the ideas and sketches of that time, created by artist Ralph McQuarrie, formed the basis for the image of Boba Fett.
The character first appears on television in the film "The Star Wars Holiday Special", in an animated sequence that lasts only 11 minutes. This insert tells how Luke Skywalker went in search of Han Solo. Luke's fighter crashes into celestial body, and Boba Fett comes to the hero's aid. The two characters search for Han Solo's ship, but then it turns out that Boba Fett is a supporter of Darth Vader. A skirmish occurs between the heroes, after which Boba disappears.
After appearing in "The Star Wars Holiday Special" minor character Boba Fett, unexpectedly for his creators, turned into a favorite of the public, who began to look forward to Boba's appearance in the film The Empire Strikes Back. The role of Boba was played by British actor Jeremy Bullock, who was replaced by John Morton in one of the scenes. The same Jeremy Bullock plays the role of Boba in the film Return of the Jedi.
When developing the image, Boba paid special attention to the armor, which continued to be perfected during filming. Many fans attribute the popularity of Boba to its bright and memorable appearance. At the same time, the hero has no more than four phrases for the entire original Star Wars trilogy.
Still from the movie "Star Wars" In the 2002 film Attack of the Clones, Boba's role expands. Viewers see the hero as a child, performed by a young actor from New Zealand, Daniel Logan. Boba's past comes to light. Mandalorian mercenary Jango Fett raises his own clone as the son, giving him the name "Boba". Later, Boba's father is killed by a Jedi, and the hero vows to avenge the death. Boba's father was also played by a New Zealand actor, and the filmmakers gave the Mandalorians features of the Maori - the indigenous people of New Zealand.
Boba appears again in the special edition of the film "A New Hope", which was released in 2004. There, the character appears on the landing pad, where Han Solo talks with. In the original version of the film, released in 1997, this scene was cut, Boba Fett was completely absent from it, and Jabba the Hutt looked completely different.
Boba Fett also appears in the Star Wars books. There are even novels where Boba became the main character - Boba Fett: Fight to Survive and Crossfire by Terry Bisson. Here the hero's past, childhood and Boba's life after the murder of his father are revealed. Bob's boy is lonely, friendless and driven by a thirst for revenge and the desire to become a bounty hunter. On the planet Raxus Prime, the orphaned hero meets the Count, the leader of the Separatists. Boba becomes embroiled in the Clone Wars.
There is also a comic book series called Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire. And in the Star Wars comic book series, there is the arc “Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead,” where a group of mercenaries deals with Boba, but a mysterious stranger immediately begins to take revenge.
"Star wars"
Boba Fett is a clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett from the planet Kamino, whom he raised and trained as his son and heir. As a child, Boba did not attend school because he traveled with his father. Young Boba met Count Dooku, the Sith Lord, thanks to the fact that Jango Fett carried out some missions on behalf of Dooku.
During another trip, Jango Fett used his own son as bait, wanting to lure out into the open the man he was going to kill. Boba was not at all offended by his father’s “trick” and continued to remain loyal to Fett Sr.
When Boba was ten years old, he and his father had to flee the planet Kamino because of a Jedi who arrived to investigate an assassination attempt on a senator and discovered a huge army of clones created for the Republic. It was safer for the Fetts to disappear from the planet until the investigation was officially completed.
Boba and his father fly to the planet Geonosis, but Obi-Wan tracks down the heroes. The Fetts tried to throw Obi-Wan off their tail in the asteroid belt, but the maneuver failed, and the Jedi quietly followed them. On Geonosis, a skirmish occurs between the Jedi, who arrived to save “their own,” and the soldiers of the Republic. Jedi Mace Windu blew off Boba's father's head right in front of the hiding boy. After the battle ended, the hero came out of hiding to pick up his father's helmet and swore revenge on the Jedi.
Later, young Boba Fett becomes disillusioned with Count Dooku and flies to Tatooine, where he offers his own services as a bounty hunter to Jabba the Hutt. The hero does not forget about his intention to take revenge on his father’s killer and for this purpose he arranges the crash of an entire space cruiser. Ultimately, the hero goes to prison for assassination attempt, but never kills the Jedi who killed his father.
One of Boba's big "achievements" was capturing Han Solo. Darth Vader promised a huge reward to anyone who could capture Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. Boba tracked down Solo and informed Vader where he was. Vader and a squad of stormtroopers arrived on the planet where Han Solo was hiding and demanded the hero's extradition.
Having obtained Solo, Vader freezes him in carbonite. Vader then gives the frozen Solo to Boba, who intends to take Solo to Tatooine and give it to Jabba the Hutt, to whom Solo owes a debt.
On Tatooine, Boba received the desired reward from the Hutt, and friends tried to save Solo - and Chewbacca. The Rescuers, however, are themselves captured, and Jabba the Hutt sends Leia as Fett's slave and concubine. Here the villain Boba shows high moral stability and refuses to use the princess as a concubine, but keeps her with him so as not to offend Jabba the Hutt.
Later, the enraged Hutt takes Solo and his failed saviors away to feed them to the sarlacc monster. Fett rides with them and engages Luke in a fight. During the battle, Boba's jetpack is damaged and the hero ends up inside the Sarlacc. However, Boba remains alive, kills the Sarlacc with a rocket and gets out.
Boba Fett doesn't get much attention in the Star Wars films, but detailed biography The hero can be recognized from books on the Star Wars universe. The character of the hero is also revealed more fully in the books, while in the movies Boba appears as a secondary evil character. In the movies, a hero can only be seen by a child without a helmet or mask.

Jango Fett - fictional character from the "Star Wars" universe. A professional mercenary, a born killer and, formally, the “ancestor” of the clone army of the Galactic Republic.
Jango Fett was born into a family of farmers on the planet Concord Dawn. This planet was located in the Mandalore sector and had long been known for its connections with the Mandalorians. Django's father was the embodiment of law at the local level. When Fett was still very young, the sector was engulfed in civil war; Jaster Mereel's "true Mandalorians" battled the renegades of Tor Vizsla's Death Guard. The conflict also affected Fett's homeland; Django's father sheltered Meryl and his people on the planet. The Guardians eventually tracked down the opponents; Thor Vizsla captured Django, attempting to use him as a way to lure Meryl out of hiding. The renegades brutally beat Django's father, trying to find out the whereabouts of the "true" ones. The boy's mother intervened with a well-aimed shot in the face of one of the villains, creating enough noise for Fett to escape; the boy reached Meril, while his parents were killed and his older sister Arla was captured by the Guardians.
With Django's help, Meryl and his men were able to escape to safety. Having lost his family and home, the boy joined the Mandalorians. Fett later managed to take part in one of the "true" counterattacks; During the operation, he met with the enemy soldier who killed his parents - and took revenge on him for the death of his loved ones.
Having become a true Mandalorian, Fett continued to fight as part of Meryl's forces. Everything changed after the Battle of Korda Six; Initially, however, Django had no idea how much this seemingly ordinary mission would affect him. Making his debut as squad leader, Fett was to take part in a routine extraction operation. Unfortunately, intelligence greatly let us down - and the “little resistance” turned out to be quite serious. Together with Fett, Meryl himself and his right hand Montross. The team that Django and his comrades were supposed to rescue turned out to be an ambush by the Guardians; Tor Vizsla himself was present at the scene. The battle was unsuccessful; Meryl was seriously injured and died in Fett's arms. The death of the man who became his de facto adoptive father was a serious shock. Django, however, managed to carry the body of the late teacher from the battlefield - and successfully took the leadership position, managing to defend it in the conflict with Montross.
As the new leader of the Mandalorians, Fett successfully led them into battle and beyond. A new turning point in his life was the Battle of Galidraan. By order of the local governor, Django suppressed the uprising; in addition to the usual fee, he demanded information about the whereabouts of Tor Vizsla - whom the governor not only hid, but also sponsored. Unfortunately, Vizsla managed to get ahead of Fett; Having entered into an alliance with the governor, he accused Jango's Mandalorians of terrorism and enlisted the support of the Jedi. Fett failed to warn his troops; in the ensuing battle, however, Django managed to do something completely incredible. Unarmed, using only his arms, legs and armor, Fett managed to personally kill 6 Jedi. This, however, did not affect the outcome of the battle - the “true” were destroyed, and Django himself was captured and sold into slavery.
Fett remained in slavery for several years until a lucky break helped him escape. Returning to Galidraan, Jango found his armor and "convinced" the governor to give him Vizsla's sanctuary. Django fought Thor Vizsla personally; The enemy seemed to be able to gain the upper hand with the help of a poisoned blade, but Fett managed to inflict a serious wound on Thor with his blade - and attract the attention of a group of predators. They dealt with Vizsla without touching the “poisonous” Django.
Jango Fett was first shown in the film "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones". When he first appeared, Fett was described as a mercenary who was used as a genetic template to create an entire army of clones. This was all part of a complex, multi-stage plan by the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus. Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi followed Fett while investigating an attempt on the life of Senator Padmé Amidala. As it turned out later, Viceroy Nute Gunray ordered the murder of Senator Fett. Fett did not carry out the assassination attempts personally, transferring the order to the werewolf killer Zam Wesell; she, however, failed to cope with the task - and after two unsuccessful attempts, Fett was forced to liquidate his “subcontractor”. Killed Django's colleague in order to ensure his safety; in a cruel twist of fate, it was the dart he used to kill that led the Jedi to the planet Kamino. It was on Kamino that local clone makers worked on the army and it was here that Jango Fett lived. Along with Django on Kamino was a rather unusual addition to the payment he took from the clone makers for his work; the mercenary asked to make one clone for him personally. The clones that were part of the army were artificially modified; their growth was greatly accelerated, and absolute submission to their superiors was hardwired into their brains. The clone Fett obtained was made to a different specification; he had complete free will and matured at the usual rate. Django named his clone Boba Fett and raised him as his own son.
Obi-Wan's arrival on Kamino ended in open conflict between Jedi and mercenary; An experienced fighter, Jango managed to survive the battle with Kenobi and successfully escape from Kamino. The mercenary left the battlefield for the planet Geonosis - there was his employer, the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. On Geonosis, Django died, getting involved in a decisive battle with the Jedi. The mercenary had to deal with one wild beast released into the arena and, much worse, with Jedi Master Mace Windu. The jetpack, damaged in the battle with the beast, failed the mercenary - and the Jedi managed to kill him in front of Boba.
IN recent years Republic Jango Fett was considered the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. He wore a shiny armored helmet that hid the scars on his face. Django was a sharp shooter and a master of hand-to-hand combat, and also always carried an arsenal of weapons with him, including knives in armlets, snares, two blasters and other, more exotic devices.
In battle, Django used a jetpack to gain an advantage in speed and height. Django could also give his enemies an unpleasant surprise by firing a powerful rocket from his backpack. Django traveled across the galaxy on a battered ship, Slave I.
Some time before the start of the Clone Wars, the dark Sith lord Count Dooku contacted Fett and, calling himself Tyranus, invited Jango to become a donor for the clone army that was being created on Kamino. Fett agreed, but also demanded from the Kaminoans one clone without any genetic modifications. He began to raise his clone as if he were his own son and named him Boba.
At the end of his life, Django participated in assassination attempts on Senator Padmé Amidala. Eventually, he was tracked down by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who flew to Fett on Kamino. Django and Boba quickly left the planet and flew to Count Dooku on Geonosis. Soon there was a battle between the Republic and the Separatists, during which Jango Fett was killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu.
