10 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Boba Fett

A character from the Star Wars saga that has become very popular and iconic among fans is Boba Fett, who has just released a series on the Disney + platform

There is more to this character than we have been able to imagine, over the years she has evolved and each version we see is someone else’s vision of what we have but that we have not fully known.

Here are 10 important facts about Boba Fett.

1. Boba’s origins are linked to Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones where the character of Jango Fett is a warrior and bounty hunter hired by Count Dooku to serve as a genetic base for the clone army but he had the condition an unaltered clone to raise as a son whom he named Boba.

2. Boba Fett has survived the Sarlacc at least twice in the expanded universe, in Star Wars #81 published by Marvel comics in 1983 the Jawas rob R2-D2 and have Han, Leia, and Luke perform a dramatic rescue on At high speed, Han finds the amnesiac Boba Fett and tries to help him, however, Fett attacks him and Han has no choice but to jump from the Sandcrawler as it plummets into the Sarlacc’s jaws.

3. The origin of the surname Fett is a recomposition of the Mandalorian word Vhett which means farmer, so in this language invented and created for this race this bounty hunter is called “Bob, the farmer” his name is never mentioned in Empire Strikes Back but not until the Christmas Special where he was first named.

4. His helmet allows him to see in 360 degrees and this is due to the advanced HUD readings and information that he has incorporated into his database, which allows him to have a general overview of his entire environment.

5. Boba Fett features a Kenner brand action figure produced in 1977 that is extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors, features the launch of a missile from his Jet Pack, and was mail only, the figure has been withdrawn from the market due to security problems and that a today is an object coveted by collectors around the world, the figure was never officially released, one of these was sold at auction in 2013 for the amount of 22,500.00 dollars, in 2016 one more appeared on eBay with a final price of 155,000.00 dollars, in any case, it is undoubtedly one of the most valuable figures in the Star Wars collection.

6. Boba Fett was the protagonist of the canceled Star Wars 1313 video game that explored the seedy criminal underworld of Coruscant, the game was intended to be a prologue to a live-action television series initially called “Star Wars: Underworld” that was also not produced.

7. Boba Fett’s armor was not going to be green or worn, in the first drafts that Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston made of the character it would be white emulating the storm troopers since it was said that he could belong to the galactic empire as a sicario, a design that would be used years later, having variations to represent the clones.

8. At the end of the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars a young Boba Fett seeks revenge on Mace Window who is responsible for the death of his father Jango in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones something that he almost achieved by posing as a young clone in Windu’s ship and making it explode and we see that he has a great similarity with Omega the clone girl and protagonist of the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch of the year 2020.

9. The Slave I is a modified Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft used by Jango Fett before the Clone Wars that equipped the ship with various weapons including laser cannons, long-range projectile launchers, and seismic charges, featured in episode V from the first trilogy and uses it to transport a carbonite-frozen Han Solo from Cloud City to Jabba the Hutt’s palace.

10. Before The Mandalorian became a series, it was originally planned to be a movie that would star Boba Fett, an idea that was discarded by the production of Star Wars: Rogue One, a year later it was planned to take it to the small screen but it was not made either, giving way to the Mandalorian that we already know, finally this character already has his series The Book of Boba Fett on the Disney + platform
