Boba Fett is a famous character from the Star Wars movies and shows. He is a skilled bounty hunter who wears cool armor and a helmet. He never takes his helmet off in the original movies.
Boba Fett first appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978. Later, he became a key character in the original Star Wars movies. These include The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). In these films, he works for the Galactic Empire and later for the powerful crime lord Jabba the Hutt.
In Attack of the Clones (2002), we learn about Boba's past. He is a clone and the adoptive son of another famous bounty hunter, Jango Fett. The animated show The Bad Batch also shows that Boba was born as 'Alpha' and has a sister named Omega.
Boba Fett is also in many Star Wars books, comics, and video games. In some of these stories, he acts more like a hero who does good things, instead of a villain.
