Trandoshans and Wookiees are natural enemies. Bossk began training to be a bounty hunter immediately.
As had been Trandoshan custom for centuries, he began his career by hunting Wookiees. The ship has become infamous because of Boba Fett deadly additions to it. Fett has found employment without trouble for numerous gangsters or gang lords, including the late Jabba the Hutt and for several Imperials, above all, Darth Vader. When Lord Vader hired Boba Fett to find Captain Han Solo of the rebellion, a man with mysterious links to Fett's past, this bounty hunter was most successful.
Han Solo was frozen in carbonite and then transported to Fett's ship. The rebel captain's friends tried to stop Boba Fett from lifting off, but they were too late. Fett was already on his way to Jabba the Hutt to bring Solo to justice! A huge rescue plan was set in motion by Solo's friends.
When they were all transported to the Great Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the dreaded Sarlacc monster of the Dune Sea, Luke Skywalker, a Jedi-to-be, kept Fett occupied in a hand-to-hand combat. When Skywalker moved on to fighting more of Jabba the Hutt's guards, Fett took aim and fired two shots at Luke. The third one would most certainly would have hit Luke, had it not been for the half-blind Han Solo, activating Boba Fett's rocket pack with a gaffi stick.
Fett fell into the Pit of Carkoon screaming his head off. To everyone's surprise, Fett survived by shooting his way out of the Sarlacc's belly with his concussion grenades. As Solo's and Fett's ships closed in on their destination-planet Byss, Han managed to sneak past the planetary shields. Boba Fett was not so lucky. But this time, Solo's friend the Wookie Chewbacca got a grip on Fett's helmet, twisted it off and sent him flying up, causing Fett to crash into the high-above ceiling headfirst.
Once again, no one managed to get even a peek of Boba Fett's face. Solo found a way out right away. Boba Fett went back the way he came and waited for Solo to come back. After days of waiting, Fett finally got his reward as he spotted the Millennium Falcon exiting the gas cloud. Fett eventually escapes from the gas cloud and has since then continued to work as the most successful bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Nevertheless, Boba Fett would go on to appear in books, comics, video games, and — of course — merchandise. While recording his commentary track for the Return of the Jedi DVD, series creator George Lucas even admitted that he would have made Boba's death more exciting if he'd known that the character would become so popular.
After his undignified apparent death in Jedi , Fett fought his way out of the Sarlacc Pit and went on to further adventures in the Star Wars Legends continuity, which was wiped out when Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Since the wide-ranging mythology of Star Wars is not easy to digest, this article will debunk a series of myths that many fans believe about Boba Fett in the mostly current canon.
Although Boba Fett wears the same type of armor as the titular protagonist of The Mandalorian , he isn't part of the Mandalorian creed — at least not always. Donald F. Anderson's anthology novel Tales of the Bounty Hunters , gave Boba a real name, Jaster Mereel, and claimed that he was exiled from his home world of Mandalore.
Lucas has never explained the reasoning behind this change, but Moran was ultimately not upset about it. When speaking to Star Wars Interviews in , Moran explained, "Even within the universe of commercial fiction, Lucas was utterly contemptuous of his own early writing, when it came time to make the prequels. The idea that I should get annoyed about him ignoring mine? Chewbacca spent years in Boba Fett's crosshairs due to his longtime friendship with Han Solo, but that doesn't mean that Fett hates all Wookiees.
In fact, the Darth Vader comics reveal Boba worked alongside a Wookiee named Black Krrsantan when the two were both employed by Jabba the Hutt, and Boba even vouched for him when Vader asked if he was good at his job. Before Vader assigned Krrsantan to capture an agent of the Emperor, he ended up going toe-to-toe with Obi-Wan Kenobi in the comic Star Wars 20 because Jabba tasked Krrsantan with capturing the man who kept interfering with the collection of his water tax.
Later in the series, Krrsantan would also go on to fight to Chewbacca in Darth Vader 14 while trying to capture Han Solo. Since there is no official rule in the galaxy against the co-existence of multiple hairy alien sidekicks, and Krrasantan remains alive and growling in the Star Wars comics continuity, he could appear in live action at some point in the future.
Perhaps he and Boba might pursue a bounty together? Vader also specified to bring this pilot back in one piece. In fact, that they are both armored villains thanks to Darth Vader, who, as originally conceived, basically was Boba Fett! When George Lucas originally conceived the character of Darth Vader, he saw him as an intergalactic bounty hunter, sort of like an outer space version of the cowboy who would go from town to town collecting bounties.
When he then moved on to make Darth Vader a lord of the Sith, Lucas then translated the bounty hunter concept to another armored character, Boba Fett! At one point, Lucas even considered making Vader and Fett brothers it feels like Lucas considered making everyone related to everyone in the Star Wars universe at one point or another.
The most famous designer in the history of the original Star Wars trilogy was clearly Ralph McQuarrie, who worked on all three films. However, most of the most notable designs by McQuarrie were the ones that ended up being used in the initial Star Wars film.
So while a bunch of McQuarrie designs made it into Empire Strikes Back , George Lucas also used other concept artists, one of whom was Joe Johnston, who is mostly credited with being the guy who came up with the armor design that became Boba Fett.
He also stayed in the world of jetpacks like the one he designed for Boba Fett when he directed The Rocketeer in The distinct helmets of the Mandalorians go back to the days before the Old Republic, but their famous armor was so well known that both Jango Fett and Boba Fett sought them out.
However, they were actually designed for a rather unusual purpose -- fighting Jedi! You see, the Mandalorians' technology were rapidly advancing and this distressed the Jedis, who sought to take care of a future threat to the Republic. The Mandalorians then designed armor that they could use to take on Jedi. This led to a long Jedi-Mandarlorian War that went on for many years.
Sadly for the Mandalorians, the war eventually ended with their home planet being ravaged by the Jedi. Still, the lasting legacy from the war was the introduction of the famed Mandolarian armor.
As we mentioned, Ralph McQuarrie was Lucas' initial go-to guy when it came to designing characters for the Star Wars films and that went for Empire Strikes Back , as well, at least initially. One of McQuarrie's designs was for an idea that Lucas presumably had for a group of "Supertroopers" that would be more advanced versions of the Stormtroopers from the first film.
Obviously, eventually stylized Stormtroopers were made. However, the design for these "supertroopers" were considered so good that they figured they would pivot to making just one version rather than a bunch of them and this is where Joe Johnston stepped in for the distinctive design of Boba Fett, while still keeping the character white.
Eventually, Johnston began to develop a more colorful version of the character and that became Boba Fett.
The reason that the Mandalorians started creating their own armor was to fight against the Jedi, but that was only the beginning of the development of the Mandalorian armor. The next big step was the creation of the distinctive designs that Boba Fett followed in the creation of his own personal design.
