The lat­est issue of the Star Wars Insider mag­a­zine tells us more about the Fett con­nec­tion in the pre­quels.

“He is a back­ground char­ac­ter, but I needed a device, a bounty hunter to do things. That par­tic­u­lar bounty hunter had become a rather pop­u­lar char­ac­ter, and even though peo­ple were writ­ing all kinds of things about where he came from, in my mind he was always con­nected to the stormtroop­ers. I real­ized I could use Jango Fett as the bounty hunter, and he would be Boba’s father, and then it all fell into place. But even if he wasn’t a pop­u­lar char­ac­ter, it prob­a­bly would have fallen into place. There are lots of lit­tle sto­ries going on in [EPISODE II], side­bars of how things came to be. Some of it was writ­ten back then, mainly the main char­ac­ters. But all the sec­ondary char­ac­ters, like Boba Fett, were added later.”

  1. in my mind he was always con­nected to awesome

  2. How often is this updated?

    It’s the 17th already, enough with the fan art contest!

  3. Lucas should have left Boba out of the pre­quels rather than change his entire story to SHIT.

    Jaster Mereel on 03.25.04
  4. honesly, is it really nec­es­sary to com­plain about Lucas’s char­ac­ters? Con­sid­er­ing he made up Boba Fett I’m will­ing to bet HE already had an idea in his head of his his­tory. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you need to whine and cry about it.

  5. I NEVER REALLY LIKED LUCUSIDEASHE PUT STAR WARS OUT THERE BUT THEN ON A QUEST TO MAKE MORE MONEY WITH episode 1, and 2,soon 3. HE SCREWD IT ALL UP. ESPECIALY THE FETT STORY. LEAVE IT TO K.W. JETTER or SOME OTHER AUTHER OF A GRAET FETT STORY TO TELL FETTS REAL PAST OR HOW ABOUT A BOOK WITH TALES OF HIS PAST. BUT NOMORE CLONE WARS . BY THE WAY TRYOUT THE LAST ONE STANDING by: daniel keys moran WONDERFUL READ
    ALTHOUGH I DISAGREE WITH HALF IT … A GREAT READ.
    (NO REALATION TO BOBA FETT)

  6. I dis­agree with the fact that Lucas let all those authors come up with SANCTIONED Star wars books that he signed off on, that brought him money, and then went and changed every­thing to make more money. If he had his own story, fine, but he shouldn’t have let all those short (and not so short) sto­ries be writ­ten to say otherwise.

    Gwen on 04.02.04
  7. i would like to agree with many of you. I think gwen was par­tiely right about the mak­ing more money thing but he also probly just didn’t like it. many of you put up ques­tions and oth­ers just put up erel­li­vant but nes­sas­ary com­ments. and andy yes it is very nes­sas­ary. This coun­try in my opinyon is already not a democ­racy. All we have left to show our opinyons is debat­ing about things we like not just let­ting lucas tear the story apart. Good idea lucas, but don’t be stu­pid. make the right choice. Im very upset because now all the things they put up are going to be based on the lie that boba fett was a clone. they’ll hardly come out with new stuff based on the truth that Boba Fett IS Jaster Merrel.

  8. fett is the per­fect charecter for his role because he is a-moral ie has no emo­tions and can then be called apon to do anything,which is what hap­pend to the storm troop­ers when darth sid­i­ous took over.the emperor knew all this and there­fore used fet as the model for all storm troopers.

  10. Boba Fett is the coolest star­wars char­ac­ter by far.I’m glad he’s just a back­ground char­ac­ter because that’s what makes him mys­te­ri­ous.
    the whole Jango thing was really a bad idea..
    Because now we know what Bobas face looks like,we know how he became a bounty hunter and it’s just not mys­te­ri­ous anymore…He went from badass mer­ce­nary with a badass cos­tume to curly lit­tle boy who is in no way inter­est­ing or badass.
    I think he should have been intro­duced as a 19 or 20yr old in episode 2 if any­thing.
    lucas seems to only care about mov­ing the story along,telling us about these panzy jedi’s and Darth maul and darth vador and darth this and darth that. IG88 is more inter­est­ing to me than luke and anikin com­bined.. but you only see him for a split sec­ond in cloud city up against the wall..anyway.. boba fett is awe­some. and this site is cool.

  11. For those of us who have waited years for the unvail­ing of more infor­ma­tion on our favo­rate hunter, E2 was either rejoiced or trounced. While I sym­pa­thize with those nay-sayers, see­ing Boba as a child was a rap­tur­ous moment. The high­light of the entire movie. I never liked Luke from the first time I ever saw ANH. He was whiny and child­ish. Boba, even as a child is more com­pelling as a char­ac­ter. Yes, Luke’s fam­ily was also taken away, but I don’t sym­pa­thise with him like I do Boba. There is a good rea­son why Boba Fett remains the most pop­u­lar char­ac­ter in the Star Wars uni­verse, and it’s not just the mys­tery sur­round­ing him, he’s a great char­ac­ter.
    Noth­ing that is writ­ten or filmed about him will change that fact.
    To the bitch­ers, write your own god­damn story.

  12. BoBa sucks

    just kid­ding

    not

  13. Boba Fett is the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. He is deadly and more feared than Jango. Jango is bet­ter than Boba in bat­tle, but Boba is cun­ning. Jango has a cooler armor(shiny,silver), and he has pow­er­ful dual blasters. Jango is awe­some!! but Boba in my opin­ion is cooler. Boba Fett is mys­te­ri­ous, and his voice gives me goose­bumps, brrr…If you don’t think Boba is feared, then WATCH EPISODEAGAIN!!!!

    Darth Fett on 04.28.04
  14. Boba Fett is a mys­te­ri­ous and a awe­some char­ac­ter. And i agree with you Alana, he is a great character…but i don’t like him as a child afterall…

    Darth Fett on 04.28.04
  15. I think that boba fett should be in a greater role in episode three, because we should know more about him in these films!

    Michael persico on 05.13.04
  16. I have no prob­lem with the Jango char­ac­ter, or Boba’s his­tory, I just think they casted the wrong peo­ple. I think Jason Omara from CBS’s defunked “The Agency” would’ve been a bet­ter choice…I mean since when does Boba Fett have an accent any­way, he’s a “unal­tered clone” of Jango so he can’t loose the accent. And what the hell kind of name is “Jango” any­way, it’s not badass, it doesn’t make me trem­ble, makes me laugh is what it does. C’mon George, get it right or we’ll start call­ing you coco (like in that episode of Seinfeld).

    Danejarus on 05.27.04
  17. Lucas didn’t do any­thing wrong and some of you prey should back off and back off now. Either way Daneja, Garr the Fett, Jas­tor Mereel(etc.) noth­ing mat­ters when no one cares. And if you’re hunted.

    Every­one dies. It’s the final and only last­ing Jus­tice. Evil exists; it is intel­li­gence in the ser­vice of entropy. When the side of a moun­tain slides down to kill a vil­lage, this is not evil, for evil requires intent. Should a sen­tient being cause that land­slide, there is evil; and requires Jus­tice as a con­se­quence, so that civ­i­liza­tion can exist. There is no greater good than Jus­tice; and only if law serves Jus­tice is it good law. It is said cor­rectly that law exists not for the Just but for the unjust, for the Just carry the law in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar. I bow to no one and I give ser­vice only for cause.

    Have no fear ban­tha pelts, you’re no good to me dead.
