Notable Quotes:

"A bounty hunter is an outlaw, a tracker — and sometimes a killer — for hire. He doesn't care who his targets are, or who they're running from, or why. He works for the highest bidder, which means the richest and the most ruthless beings in the galaxy. No question asked.

"Being a bounty hunter's son means keeping your mouth shut and your eyes open.

"No problem. Boba Fett was proud of his father and proud of what he did. "I'm a bounty hunter's son," he would say to himself proudly.

"The reason he said it to himself and to no one else, was that he had no one else to say it to.

"He had no friends.

"How can you have friends when you live and travel in secret, sneaking on and off planets, avoiding police and security and the dreaded, nosy, Jedi Knights.

"A bounty hunter must always be ready to go anywhere and face any danger. That was from Jango Fett's code, the rule by which he lived.

"Boba Fett had his own, smaller, more personal, code: A bounty hunter's kid must always be ready to go with him."
