Boba Fett is a character in the Star Wars "universe"

A faceless enforcer, his distinctive armor strikes fear in the hearts of fugitives. He is a legendary bounty hunter, accepting warrants from both the Empire and the criminal underworld. Fett has carefully guarded his past, cultivating a curtain of mystery around his origins. He is in truth a clone, an exact replica of his highly skilled "father," Jango Fett. From Jango, Boba learned valuable survival and martial skills, and even as a child he was proficient with a blaster.

During the time of the Empire, Boba Fett emerged as the leading bounty hunter in the galaxy. His armor, like his father's, is a battered weapon-covered spacesuit equipped with a rocketpack. His gauntlets contain a flamethrower, and a whipcord lanyard launcher. His kneepads conceal rocket dart launchers. Several ominous braids hang from his shoulder (trophies from fallen prey) that underscore this hunter's lethal ability. Fett was the one who successfully tracked the Millennium Falcon from Hoth to Bespin. Arriving before the Falcon, Fett and Darth Vader set a trap for the ship's crew. Fett, a shrewd negotiator, received his bounty for capturing the crew, but also was given custody of Han Solo. The bounty hunter was set to collect the reward on Solo's head placed there by the gangster Jabba the Hutt.

After Leia failed attempt to help Han escape from Jabba's palace, the prisoners were taken out to the Tatooine desert, to be executed in the Great Pit of Carkoon. In the sandpit lay the Sarlacc, a creature that would digest its prey over thousands of years. Rather than let themselves be thrown to the Sarlacc, Solo's friends, led by Luke Skywalker, fought against their captors. In the chaos that followed, Fett entered the fray. Solo, free from the carbonite & suffering blindness from hibernation sickness, wildly swung a vibro-ax into Fett's rocketpack. The pack was activated, and the bounty hunter soared into the air, out of control. Fett slammed into the side of Jabba's sail barge before tumbling into the Sarlacc's mouth. With a belch from the desert creature, Fett's career as the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunter was brought to an end.

Trivia

Fett was played by Daniel Logan in Attack of the Clones, and by Jeremy Bulloch in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although Jason Wingreen provided his voice in Empire. His brief appearance in the special addition of A New Hope was performed by Mark Austin. For the 2004 DVD release of Empire, his voice was replaced by Temuera Morrison to match Jango Fett, from whom he was cloned.
