Boba Fett's Timeline | Star Wars Guide

Boba Fett was born in 32 BBY.

Boba Fett is a legendary bounty hunter and one of the most feared figures in the galactic underworld. He is an unaltered, unmodified clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, created on Kamino and raised by Jango as his son. Unlike his clone-trooper "brothers," Boba aged at a normal human rate and received no growth acceleration or behavioral conditioning. After witnessing his father's death at the Battle of Geonosis, he grew into a ruthless and highly capable hunter, wearing a customized set of Mandalorian armor and piloting the Firespray-class starship inherited from Jango. During the reign of the Galactic Empire he took contracts for both Darth Vader and the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, most famously capturing Han Solo. Presumed dead after falling into the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine, Boba survived, reclaimed his armor, and years later seized control of Jabba's former criminal empire, becoming the self-styled Daimyo of Mos Espa.
