Biography
Clone Wars
Boba Fett as a male clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett who operated in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Fett was approached by Count Dooku who sought him to be the genetic donor for a Republic program to create the Clone Troopers. In exchange for his support, Jango requested that one of the resultant clones would be given to him so that he could raise a son. This led to Jango Fett being stationed on Kamino where the planet's famous cloners created Boba Fett for him. The child stayed by his side as he checked in on the clone production and their training to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic.
Sometime later, Boba joined with a team of bounty hunters, including Aurra Sing, Bossk, and Castas to carry out his revenge against Windu for Jango's death. Together, Boba and the bounty hunters crafted a plan to assassinate the Jedi Master aboard the Republic vessel Endurance. Boba posed as a young clone cadet, with the nickname Lucky, using the fact that he was genetically identical to the other young clones to his advantage; no one onboard Endurance was aware of his true identity. Once aboard the Endurance, Boba and the other clones were greeted by Windu and Anakin Skywalker, before being put through tactical training. Each clone was able to engage in target practice, and they all missed their targets—except for Boba who was able to use the skills his father taught him to his advantage. Later, while on a tour of the ship, Boba slipped away from the other clones and found his way to Windu's quarters, where he quietly installed a bomb that would be triggered by a laser tripwire in the doorway. Windu did not enter his quarters, however, but a clone trooper did, killing the soldier in Windu's place and forcing the entire ship into alert status. Sing instructed Boba via comlink to sabotage the Endurance's reactor core, thereby killing everyone on the ship, but Boba was reluctant to kill everyone. His only goal was to kill Windu.

Much of the hull was immediately destroyed in the ensuing explosion, while Windu and Skywalker were nearly sucked into space and killed before the hull breaches were sealed. With the Endurance critically damaged, the crew began to abandon ship. Boba, whose identity was not yet discovered, and the other young clones were sealed into an escape pod and jettisoned into space, but Boba sabotaged the pod in order to separate himself and his fellow pod inhabitants from the other escapees. The pod was intercepted by Slave I, led by Sing and Bossk, which revealed Boba as the traitor who destroyed the Endurance. Boba was given the choice to either stay with the clone cadets or leave with the bounty hunters, and Boba somewhat reluctantly chose to leave with the bounty hunters.

The bounty hunters, meanwhile, decided to use the hostages to lure Windu into a trap.
The Empire
Though falling into the sarlacc, Boba was still alive but had been unconscious for some length of time. His armour came to protect him from the acids that looked to digest him. Upon regaining consciousness, he found the remains of a Stormtrooper who had died in the pit where he used their air supply to replenish his own. Once done, he then activated his flame thrower in order to burn himself through the sarlacc's hide and dug out of the pit. The sheer effort combined with his injuries left him exhausted forcing him to fall unconscious in the wreckage by the Great Pit of Carkoon. It was then that he was come upon by a group of Jawas who began to strip him of his armor with Fett unable to stop them as they ended up knocking him out when he tried to stop their theft and leaving him for dead. Unknown to him, the armor was later acquired by a Tatooinian sheriff by the name of Cobb Vanth. Within the sands, he remained within a sandstorm when he was found by a Tusken Raider tribe that took him prisoner. They forced him to travel long distances on foot whilst being tied by chain to a bantha that was ridden by members of the tribe. Boba came to suffer from the pain of his injuries, exhaustion, and dehydration as he remained a captive of the Tusken Raiders.
Finding the badly wounded Fennec Shand, he decided to rescue her and helped nurse her back to health. This included the addition of cybernetics to replace her destroyed torso thus allowing her to function. For his aid, she vowed a debt of loyalty to Boba Fett who later came to find the location of his armour that had been taken by Cobb Vanth who was serving as a marshal at Mos Pelgo where he used the Mandalorian armour to scare off people trying to prey on he town. Before he could recover it, Vanth had given the armour to Din Djarin for his aid in hunting a Krayt dragon that was preying on the town. Boba Fett and Fennec Shand then used Slave I where they tracked the Mandalorian bounty hunter Djarin to the planet Tython. Fett had Shand take up a sniping position where she was set to kill Djarin's companion the child Grogu if he refused the request to hand over the armour. Djarin at the time had refused to hand over the armour as it went against the tenets of the Mandalorian Creed as he did not believe Fett to had been part of the tribe. Their standoff came to an end when Imperial dropships landed on the planet where Stormtroopers were dispatched to acquire the child from Djarin. This led to the two sides working together against the Stormtroopers where during this time he came upon Djarin's ship the Razor Crest and boarded it. Once inside, he recovered his armour which he used to deal with the Stormtroopers thus saving Djarin's life and forcing the Imperial forces in retreat. However, an Imperial cruiser destroyed the Razor Crest from orbit and Imperial Dark Troopers were used to recover the child. Boba Fett used Slave I to pursue the enemy but Djarin requested that he not fire as he did not want Grogu to be hurt. Whilst high in the clouds, Fett sighted the Imperial cruiser which later departed the planet with their prize. He and Shand then remained as Djarin surveyed the ruins of his former vessel with Boba showing the chain code in the armour that indicated that it belonged to his father Jango Fett who had been a foundling taken in by the Mandalorian tribe. Despite recovering the armour, Fett believed he owed a debt to Djarin and had decided to help him in recovering the child from the Imperial Remnants.
The group later met with one of Djarin's friend Cara Dune where he requested her help in using her position as a New Republic marshal to release the mercenary Mayfeld. The former Imperial sharpshooter was recovered from his job at a prison scrapyard in order to use his former clearance to get the location of Moff Gideon's cruiser. Mayfeld revealed that he would need access to a terminal at an Imperial facility and noted that a remnant refinery was located on the planet Morak. Thus, the group made their way to the planet where the organised a plan to infiltrate the site and access the terminal.
Afterwards, he and his new comrades managed to track down an Imperial shuttle carrying a clone engineer that was en-route to rendezvous with Moff Gideon's light cruiser. Using an ion cannon, they disabled the shuttle with Djarin and Dune managing to successfully capture the engineer. Din Djarin then went to recruit Lady Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves on the mission to recover the child though the two Mandalorians refused. Fett was not impressed with the two where he urged Djarin to leave them. This resulted in a confrontation between them and Boba where Bo-Katan told Boba that he was not a Mandalorian and unworthy of the armour. She also disparaged him for being a clone with this leading to a brief fight between him and Koska Reeves. Bo-Katan stopped the fight where she agreed to help after learning that they had the coordinates of Gideon's ship where she wanted to reclaim the Darksabre and use it to unite the clans on Mandalore. The gathered team then orchestrated a plan whereby they would stage an attack on the captured Imperial shuttle with Boba using Slave I to attack it where it would request an emergency landing on the cruiser. Once this was done, Fett was to depart the scene whilst his compatriots looked to take control of the ship, recover the child and claim the Darksabre. After completing the mission, Fennec re-joined Fett where the pair made their way to Tatooine with them targeting the palace of the slain Jabba the Hutt. The pair killed all the guards with Shand clearing the way for Fett to the throne room which was now inhabited by Bib Fortuna who had taken over his former masters operations. Arriving at the throne, Fett proceeded to kill the Twi'lek and took over as the new crime lord on Tatooine.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Due to being a clone, he shared the appearance of that of his genetic father Jango Fett and grew up to look like him. However, on Tatooine, he suffered grievous injuries as a result of falling into the sarlacc causing him to suffer heavy burns on his boy and being bald.
He had said that he did not follow the tenets of the Mandalorian Creed.
Powers and abilities
Fett was a human though in reality he was a clone of his father Jango Fett. Unlike the other Kaminoan clones, he was bred to be unaltered and allowed to grow naturally without having to undergo the accelerated life cycle the others did as they were drafted as clone troopers for the Republic.
After surviving the sarlacc, he came to learn the fighting techniques of the Tusken Raiders whilst living with one of the tribes.
The armour contained a chain code that identified him as being its owner and that he inherited it from his father.
He piloted a powerful pursuit craft called Slave I that was once used by his father Jango Fett. After inheriting it, he began to use the aged but effective ship as part of his career as a bounty hunter. It was loaded with hidden defensive and offensive weaponry along with other equipment. The ship had a reputation that was earned from decades of successful missions that involved capturing fugitives across the galaxy.
Fett later looked to leave the life of a bounty hunter to become a crime boss. This saw him taking the title of Daimyo of the late Jabba the Hutt's empire on Tatooine and claimed his holdings on the planet.
Among his acquisitions was a pet rancor that was gifted to him by the Hutt Twins who looked to end any hostilities with the Tatooine Daimyo.
