Boba Fett, who now has all the spotlight in the new Star Wars series ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ is a bounty hunter who brought Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt in the original trilogy.

Premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on December 29, 2021, ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ is a seven-episode series on the supporting character-turned protagonist. The plot unfolds after the events that took place in second season of ‘The Mandalorian’. 

Introduced back in the 1980s Star Wars sequel, ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, as an armoured bounty hunter, Boba Fett appeared only for a limited number of scenes. After the sequel, Fett made an appearance in the 1983 ‘Return of the Jedi’ in which he appeared to have been quickly killed off.

 Boba Fett is dear to those Star Wars fans who delve deeper into the supporting characters of Star Wars. While some think his upgrade to a key figure is confusing, others have had their dream come true with the latest installment.

The character has been quite iconic among fans, with his masked appearance. 

Charles Soule, the author of the current comic book series of Star Wars,  said in a statement that Boba Fett is a character who is deeply intimidating and keeps the intimidation vivid even outside the Star Wars galaxy.

Boba Fett was created almost as an accident after 1977, when writer and director George Lucas felt the need to create a class of Stormtroopers with heavy costumes, that were supposed to be employed by the Empire. Due to budget constraints, George decided it wasn’t feasible to have an army, so he decided to use the previously designed armor costume for one bounty hunter character, named Boba Fett. 

In the Star Wars universe, Boba Fett created an impact of his own, with his shining armor, weapons, and intimidating persona. The character is an identical clone of his father, Jango Fett. During his young years, Boba Fett learned combat skills that helped him with his Empire contracts in the later years.
