The Fett-man, The Bobinator, these are just some of the various names that he'd shoot me in the face for calling him.
This was the Bounty Hunter that, like most, inspired an interest in the darker side of space. (No pun intended.) It was an aspect of Star Wars that hadn't yet been brought to light. Sure, we'd seen the Cantina, a hive of scum and villainy but never had we seen just how epic the seedier side of space could be.
Han Solo? Sure, he's a rebel and a scoundrel but without a single word Boba Fett peaked our interest and showed just how sweet jet-packs could be.
Brief History:
The cloned "son" of the far less badass Jango Fett, Boba watched his Father die by the hands of a jedi and used that rage and torment to pursue a future of credits and gunfire. as a true mandalorian would, he became one of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy, working for both Empire and Jabba the Hutt. He killed "The Sarlacc Pit", no seriously, killed it. What more do you need to know?
Other Facts:
Boba Fett was played by Jeremy Bulloch who never intended on playing the roll and was simply there to fill whichever costume was free at the time. Picking up the battered helmet he became the man behind the mask of one of the greatest and most menacing hunter in the stars.
