Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. In the films, he is a bounty hunter hired by the Empire and Jabba the Hutt to track down and capture Han Solo and Chewbacca. He appears in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, The Star Wars Holiday Special and in the Special Edition of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

He is played by Daniel Logan in Attack of the Clones, and by Jeremy Bulloch in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although Jason Wingreen provided his voice in Empire. His brief appearance in A New Hope was performed by Mark Austin. For the 2004 DVD release of Empire, his voice was replaced by Temuera Morrison.

Boba Fett's first appearance on-screen was in an animated segment aired on television as part of The Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978, spawning some interest in the character. Kenner released a Boba Fett action figure not long after the special aired.

Boba Fett is a major character in this animated segment and has more dialogue than he does in all of the Star Wars films combined into one. He is introduced as a mysterious figure that befriends and aids Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C-3P0, and R2-D2; but it is eventually revealed that he is in reality working for Darth Vader and the Empire. Chewbacca is not fooled, claiming, through the aid of C-3P0's translation, that the bounty hunter "didn't smell right."

Boba Fett's action figure was originally made available as a sneak preview of sorts in 1979 for the film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.[1] In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Fett speaks his first live-action dialogue. Throughout the film, Boba Fett is never once referred to by name. He is, along with several other bounty hunters, asked to track down Han Solo and the crew of the Millennium Falcon. He is the only hunter to deduce how the Falcon eluded the Imperials by hiding on the hull of a Star Destroyer (a strategy which, according to the Attack of the Clones audio commentary, he is purported to have figured out after Obi-Wan Kenobi eluded Boba's father, Jango, in the Geonosian asteroid rings). He then requests his ship to be placed in the Star Destroyer's garbage, in order to be hidden in it when the warship jettisons the mass before departing, anticipating that the Falcon will use the waste as cover when it detaches from its hiding place. Fett's hunch is correct, and he tracks the ship and surmises that Han Solo is likely headed for Cloud City on Bespin. He presumably reports the Falcon's destination to the Empire, allowing Vader to arrange a deal with Lando Calrissian to secure the capture of Solo and the crew. Fett stays at Vader's side as the Sith Lord tortures Han Solo in an attempt to draw Luke Skywalker into a trap. In addition to the reward for Solo's capture from the Empire, Vader allows Boba Fett to take Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, back to Jabba to receive an additional reward, claiming two bounties on the same job. In later Expanded Universe material, it is revealed that Fett charged Jabba a larger amount than the original bounty price. He was able to do this by explaining that the frozen Solo was the unique work of art created by Darth Vader.


In Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett is at Jabba the Hutt's palace when a fellow Bounty Hunter known as Boussh brings in Chewbacca for the reward posted on him. The hunter is actually Princess Leia in disguise, and she frees Han Solo from his carbonite prison later that night while Jabba's court is asleep. Solo initially suffers from hibernation sickness and is unable to see. Then two side curtains open to reveal Jabba, Bib Fortuna, etc. Early the next morning, Luke Skywalker arrives to bargain for Solo's life. Fett remains on guard and watches silently as Luke battles a rancor. When Luke kills the monster, an outraged Jabba sentences Luke, Han and Chewbacca to be cast into the Pit of Carkoon, where a Sarlacc lives. They are transported to the pit on one of two skiffs, traveling alongside Jabba's personal Sail Barge. Luke stages his own rescue with Lando's help, and Fett attempts to stop them along with several of Jabba's hapless guards. Fett flies across with his jet pack to battle Luke, initially with some success as he entraps Luke using his rope grapple. Gunfire from the barge tips it, knocking Lando off the skiff. Luke jumps from one skiff to the other. Han picks up a discarded vibro-axe to try to fish Lando from the side of the pit. As Boba Fett takes aim at Luke with his blaster, Chewbacca tells Solo that Fett is right behind him. As he turns to look he accidentally strikes Fett with the vibro-axe and activates the jet pack, which causes Fett to crash into the side of Jabba's sail barge before falling into the waiting maw of the Sarlacc. He survives, according to Lucas. He escapes by blowing himself out of the Sarlacc using a thermal detonator and is found by another Bounty Hunter called Dengar who was left behind at Jabba's palace (drunk) and wanted to salvage anything from the wreckage he could find.[citation needed]. He found a now-freed Fett and nursed him back to health, (with the help of a dancing girl named Neelah) and the trio subsequently teamed up for more bounty hunting adventures.

Fett appeared in the fourth episode of the 1985 Star Wars animated series, Star Wars: Droids. In the episode, entitled A Race to the Finish, Fett is hired by Tig 'tiggy' Fromm to track down the then-masters of C-3PO and R2-D2. Boba fails to capture or kill those targets and satisfies himself with capturing Tig Fromm and his father for their own bounties.

When the special edition of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released in 1997, a restored scene with Han Solo confronting Jabba the Hutt was added to the film. Boba Fett is shown standing by Jabba's side in Docking Bay 94 where the Millennium Falcon is temporarily docked. The new footage of Fett was shot with ILM animator Mark Austin in the Fett costume, and was digitally inserted between originally aired scenes from A New Hope. Boba Fett has no dialogue in this scene, but pauses as Jabba and his other bounty hunters leave the hangar. Boba's shoulder armor is reversed in this new scene and the logo which is usually seen on his left shoulder is absent.

Boba Fett's origins are revealed in Attack of the Clones. He is revealed to be the "son" of legendary bounty hunter Jango Fett, one of the last of the Mandalorians; more accurately, Boba is a clone of his father. Jango Fett is hired by Count Dooku to be the template for an entire army of clones. Boba is the only unmodified clone and is raised by Jango to learn the Mandalorian ways on the stormy planet Kamino, home of the master cloners.

(The canon books predating Attack of the Clones state that Boba Fett was not a clone. According to these sources, Fett was once known as Jaster Mereel and served as a Journeyman Protector on the planet of Concord Dawn, from which he was ultimately exiled for killing a fellow Protector. After his exile, he adopted the name Boba Fett and decided that he would "bow to no one." These aspects of his past have been extensively retconned since the release of Attack of the Clones. It was later written that Fett took the name of his father's mentor, Mandalore Jaster Mereel, and became a Journeyman Protector on his father's homeworld of Concord Dawn shortly after the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.)

In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Kamino to investigate an assassination linked to Jango, and the Fetts flee to Geonosis to join Count Dooku in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Kenobi, along with Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, are to be executed in the Geonosian arena. The young Fett watches with interest, but the ceremonies are interrupted by the arrival of several Jedi led by Mace Windu. In the ensuing battle, Windu beheads Jango. Boba buries his father on Geonosis and takes his armor and ship to start his own life as a bounty hunter.

The Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters reveals Fett used his rocket launcher to escape the Sarlacc, before being collected by Dengar and soon befriending him. Fett eventually summons the will to recover and resumes his career. The escape is further explained in the book Tales From Jabba's Palace by Kevin J. Anderson.

Though not his original intent, George Lucas has stated that he has "no problem" with fans and writers having Fett survive, and for the 2004 DVD version of Return of the Jedi he reveals in the commentary that he considered adding a shot where Fett escapes the Sarlacc. Lucas confesses that had he known Boba Fett would become so popular, he would have given him a more spectacular death back in 1983. Lucas explains that he eventually decided against the new shot because at that point in the movie, the main point of focus is the death of Jabba the Hutt, and he felt that the 'resurrection' of Fett would draw away from that. Also, he added that most people didn't believe that Boba was killed (back in 1983).

In a young adult novel series set shortly after Attack of the Clones, Fett seeks out Count Dooku to claim the rest of his father's payment. He spends a short amount of time in the custody of the Sith Lord before venturing on his own to begin his career at an early age, already making modifications to both the Slave I and the Mandalorian armor inherited from his father and his father's mentor, Jaster Mereel.

He meets his future employer, Jabba the Hutt, fights the Separatist supreme commander, General Grievous, and loses, and has several minor bounties under his belt before the age of 13. Fett finds Jabba with a holobook, left to him by his father, with a series of videos explaining what to do and where to go.

Boba is one of the few beings in the galaxy to know the major secret of the Clone Wars: that Count Dooku had built the clone army. His father had told him never to mention this to anyone. Fett eventually reveals the secret, however, during a chase with Aurra Sing on a planet controlled by the Intergalactic Banking Clan.

Young Boba also gets the chance to face the man he hated most, Jedi Master Mace Windu. Fett tracks Windu to Chancellor Palpatine's waiting room and engages him in combat. Neither can overwhelm the other, and the fight ends in a stalemate.

In Star Wars Battlefront II, set in early days of the Empire, the Kaminoan clones are spiked so that they rebel on behest of their Kaminoan masters[1]. The Empire sends the 501st Legion of Imperial Stormtroopers, led by the young Boba Fett, back to Kamino, with orders to destroy the rogues, acquire biological information on them and capture the cloning technology. After their clones are destroyed, the rogue Kaminoans attempt to escape the planet, only to be shot down and destroyed by the Imperial forces in orbit. Before the battle starts, however, one Kaminoan commander, Kau Wan, safely evacuates a few thousand of his people using Acclamator assault ships left behind by the rogue Kaminoans. Kau Wan and several hundred Kaminoans flee from Kamino, where they start a new life on a distant, uncharted planet. Those Kaminoans who are left behind on Kamino are subjected to Imperial rule, effectively becoming slaves, and forced to make new clones to be integrated into the Imperial Stormtrooper corps. Boba Fett meets Taun We, and before leaving Kamino apologizes and explains himself to his old friend. After the battle is won, it says that Fett "left immediately... said something about a smuggler on Tatooine." Some speculation suggests that this means that the battle was right before the events of A New Hope, but because, in the game, a few missions later, the assault on Tantive IV took place, this seems to not be canon. However, Boba Fett is not after Han Solo as a bounty, as shown in Rebel Dawn. Just prior to Han meeting Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Fett gives Han a message. Han's ex-girlfriend made Boba Fett promise that if she died, he would tell her family. Fett passed the message on to Solo, who then sent a holo-message to her father.

In the young adult series The Last of the Jedi, Boba Fett, at the age of 14, is hired by Imperial Inquisitor Malorum to investigate details about Padmé Amidala's death at the request of Darth Vader (who had caused the injuries leading to her demise). Fett traveled to Polis Massa and Naboo to gather this information. In addition to this investigation, Fett is also commissioned to find and capture a former Jedi by the name of Ferus Olin. Ferus, recovering from a leg injury, is being protected by an old friend, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Fett and Kenobi battle from afar, but Fett doesn't get a good look at Kenobi and can never report to Malorum with any certainty the identity of this powerful Jedi survivor. These events take place a year or two after Revenge of the Sith.

As revealed in Marvel Comics' Star Wars series, Boba Fett is believed to have served with a group of Supercommandos from the planet Mandalore towards the end of the Clone Wars. According to reports, only three Mandalorians survive: Boba Fett, Tobbi Dala, and Fenn Shysa. However, it is later revealed that this "Boba Fett" is not Boba Fett at all, but a rogue ARC trooper, Alpha-Ø2, nicknamed Spar, who has become obsessed with returning the Mandalorians to their former glory. Spar becomes Mandalore, the traditional title given to the leader of the Mandalorians, and later becomes known as "Mandalore the Resurrector."

Boba Fett also plays a prominent role in the comic book version and video game version of Shadows of the Empire, and has had several comic book miniseries.

In Shadows of the Empire, Fett is tracked down by Dash Rendar, attempting to stop the bounty hunter from bringing Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt. Rendar confronts Fett before he leaves for Tatooine. Fett bests the mercenary in hand-to-hand combat and eventually escapes. Fett then boards Slave I and takes off.

For a brief period, a young man named Jodo Kast poses as Boba Fett by wearing Mandalorian armor similar to Fett's. His motives are clear: gain the reputation of an infamous bounty hunter, and profit from this new profile. Kast's life is cut short, however, by Fett himself. During an attempt to collect a bounty, Kast is ambushed by Fett and his fellow bounty hunter Dengar. A scuffle ensues and Kast collapses, struck by a paralyzing dart. Fett rigs Kast's jet pack to explode and places the antidote for the poison just beyond his reach. Kast is not able to reach the antidote in time and is buried in the rubble from the explosion.

Kast appears in a series of comics titled Bounty Hunters, published by Dark Horse Comics, and the Sony PlayStation game, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi. Grand Admiral Thrawn, who first appeared in the Timothy Zahn novel Heir to the Empire, disguises himself as Jodo Kast in the story "Side Trip" by Zahn and Michael A. Stackpole in the anthology Tales From The Empire.

Boba Fett plays a prominent role in the miniseries Dark Empire, where it is revealed that he has survived the Sarlacc and continues his hunt for Han Solo. The story of Fett's first escape and recovery (there are three of them) is documented mainly in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy and the anthology book Tales From Jabba's Palace. Fett is found lying outside the Sarlacc pit by a fellow bounty hunter named Dengar, whom Fett had previously left to die in the novel Tales of the Bounty Hunters.

Fett makes a brief cameo during one of the missions in the video game Jedi Academy. He steals a Rebel weapons cache, and Jedi Knight Jaden Korr is sent to eliminate them. Fett threatens Jaden to leave or die. When Jaden refuses, he/she is forced to run throughout the ruins to destroy the caches while fending off Boba Fett (who is invincible for the duration) and his array of weapons, which include the standard blaster rifle, a high-powered sniper rifle, a flamethrower, and a deadly portable missile launcher. Once the caches are destroyed, Jaden Korr confronts Boba Fett one last time, where the two battle to a standstill. Rather than finish the battle, Fett retreats after a short comment on Korr, "No bounty on you. A shame."

Boba Fett also makes a cameo appearance in the novel The Unifying Force, the conclusion of the New Jedi Order series. He briefly meets Han Solo and later (with the aid of more warriors in Mandalorian armor) aids in a fight against Yuuzhan Vong attackers. Later, he tells Solo (over ship-to-ship communications) that their long-standing feud is not personal, and that his real conflict is with the Jedi.

During the conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the planet Corellia, Fett discovers that he is dying, and the only way to stop the process is to discover Kamino's lost knowledge of cloning and age modification. Fett reflects upon his life and the mistakes. He tries to find his daughter, Ailyn Vel, only to discover that she had died at the hands of Han Solo's son, Jacen, and makes amends with Mirta Gev, his granddaughter. After saving his own life, Fett decides to return to Keldabe with Mirta and use his position to restore the Mandalorians to their former power and glory. Once he returns to Keldabe, he calls for all offworld Mandalorians to return to their homeworld, and makes efforts to rebuild the Mandalorian nation, as well as his bond with Mirta. Fortune comes his way when his people stumble upon a huge vein of 'Beskar', a rare Mandalorian ore used to create nearly invulnerable armor. Mandalorian economic and military power, as well as pride, skyrocket and Fett is able to forge an alliance with the Verpines. He also manages to obtain a cure to his condition from an old clone soldier, extending his lifetime by thirty years.

However, the biggest shock Fett receives is when he discovers that his ex-wife, Sintas Vel, may in fact still be alive. He is told that her body has been sealed in carbonite under the possession of a long-dead crime lord, and that it can be claimed for just one thousand credits. Fett immediately begins the process of obtaining the carbonite slab.

He is mentioned twice in Fury. The first time comes when Han Solo receives the beskar crushgaunts and armor, adding to his bewilderment. The second time comes at the very end of the novel, when Jaina Solo realizes that he is the only person who can possibly give her the edge against her twin. In the sneak preview of Revelations, Jaina speaks in a first person montage, declaring her intent to find Boba Fett and hire him to train her. Whether or not she knows of his status as Mandalore, or realizes what it means is unknown, as she only refers to him as a bounty hunter.

In A. C. Crispin's "Han Solo Trilogy" (released in 1996-1998), Boba Fett's original accepted backstory was released to the public. In this trilogy, as well as in Tales of the Bounty Hunters, "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett" (released 1996 but later on the SW timeline) it is stated that Fett formerly was a Journeyman Protector named Jaster Mereel. Jaster is exiled from his home planet of Concord Dawn after he kills a man. He adopts the name Boba Fett and becomes a bounty hunter. After Attack of the Clones, this information was retconed as a cover story Fett spread after the Clone Wars even though this origin of Fett is viewed as a memory in the previous mentioned books, a memory that he himself had and told no one of.

In addition to those mentioned, Boba Fett is a prominent figure in many other Star Wars novels, comics, games, and fan-made films. He is also one of the most sought after toys in the Kenner/Hasbro range of Star Wars figures, especially on his original cardback from 1979.


In Star Wars Galaxies Boba Fett appears in Jabba's palace on Tatooine and the Tutorial level in the Cantina. He can be interacted with, and will supply players with set missions culminating in a trip to the Death Watch Bunker. Boba Fett has also appeared during at least one live event in the game. More missions are available if the player is also a bounty hunter.

In 2001, rapper MC Chris released a rap based on boba fett entitled Fett's vette and was released on his album Life's a bitch and I'm her Pimp. The song did well, especially over the internet

Boba Fett is garbed in traditional Mandalorian armor with a cape, and several braids made of Wookiee pelts at his shoulder. His gauntlets also feature a wrist-mounted flame thrower, sonic beam weapons, dart shooter, several blades, and a fibercord whip with a grappling hook. Other weapons include a jetpack with a miniature concussion rocket launcher, rocket dart launchers, grenades, gas pellets, and a pulse cannon. Tools include a lock breaker, battle computer, HUD system, macrobinocular viewplate, gauntlet control panel, and a motion sensor. The antenna on his helmet serves as a radio receiver/transmitter, and is also a targeting computer/rangefinder. His main weapons are an EE-3 carbine blaster rifle and Westar-34 pistols. Boba Fett owns a variety of specially-modified and well-armed starcraft bearing the names Slave I through Slave IV. Despite his weapon-laden suit of armor, Fett is a subtle hunter and relies as much on his cunning and intelligence as on pure muscle and combat skill. Fett is also known to have an R2 astromech droid.

Fett is usually in peak condition (he is strong enough to hold off against massively strong foes such as Bossk), as seen in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. In every appearance in the Star Wars universe save Attack of the Clones, his face remains hidden.

While he is usually at odds with the other characters in the story (most notably Han Solo), in most stories centered around him, Fett is portrayed as honest and morally driven, as well as ruthless and violent. Throughout many stories (most notably in the story "No Disintegrations, Please", the Galaxy of Fear series, and Tales From the New Republic) it is revealed that Fett has a soft spot for children. In the aforementioned story, Fett lets a bounty go after facing an entire Imperial garrison to get him when he discovered the man now took care of orphans. He even donated a large sum of money to help him support them. In further examples of this, Fett risked his life to save a group of children in a burning school on Ryloth after being paid to kill a band of slavers (The New Star Wars Sourcebook, Lyn Me's character description), and he spared a Jedi trainee when he learned he was the single parent of a young child. It has been stated that Fett actually donates to various charities and orphanages (most notably in the story Twin Engines of Destruction in which he kills Jodo Kast). In the Mandalorian Wars trilogy, however, Fett denies that anything he does is affected by sentiment; all that matters is the job. He will even occasionally refuse to go after a bounty if he felt it might in some way interfere with his image.

Boba Fett has also performed some more heroic acts in the Expanded Universe, including taking a job to stop a group of pirates from wiping out an entire race for 100 credits (which was all they could afford) and it was hinted at that Fett actually returns their money.

In the Enemy of the Empire storyline (taking place a few years before A New Hope), Vader and Fett come to blows over a cask containing the decapitated-but-still-living head of an Icarii soothsayer. On Maryx Minor, Fett and Vader fight one-on-one for the cask. At one point, it seems as if Vader has won, but Boba kicks the cask over the edge of a cliff, momentarily turning Vader's attention away from him. Fett then has a clear shot at Vader, but chooses to retreat instead, knowing that if he kills Vader, the Empire will trouble him to no end. Thus the fight ends in a draw, and the two set aside their differences.

In Star Wars Tales (a non-canon story taking place before A New Hope), Fett is hired to capture Han Solo just after Solo deserts his commission with the Imperial Navy, but Vader decides to bring him in himself. Vader and Boba face-off just as Fett is about to capture Solo, and Fett doesn't want to lose the bounty money. The two then actually get into a lightsaber duel, Fett surprising Vader with a saber he had collected from a dead Jedi. Fett loses the duel, but Vader allows him to leave with his life, and they again part ways.

Also, in the book Bloodlines from the Legacy of the Force series, Fett reveals that he had rather liked Vader, since he paid well and on time, and that he would never ask Fett to do anything he wasn't willing to do himself. Fett even admits that in some ways, he misses the Sith Lord.

Fett has a long-standing professional rivalry with Han Solo. The rivalry is jointly "dropped" when the two find each other at gunpoint, deciding the rivalry has taken too much out of both their lives and wasn't worth dying for. Solo, Jaden Korr, and Kyle Katarn are among the only people to "elude" capture by Fett on multiple occasions.

Fett has also been known to have a strong sense of friendship to the Kaminoan, Taun We, since she had always been like a "mother-figure" to him, and has always treated Boba as an equal, and not just another clone. After the Rebellion of Kamino, Fett apologizes to Taun We for his actions there, seeing as she was the only Kaminoan who has ever treated him more as an equal, even like a son.

Fett is revealed to hate the Jedi after his father is slain by Mace Windu at the Battle of Geonosis. He attempts to fight Windu prior to a meeting the Jedi Master had with Palpatine, unsuccessfully trying to kill him with a saberdart. Fett would have killed Windu if not for the interruption from Palpatine. Fett is also known to hate Obi Wan Kenobi because of the many times he was almost killed by Jango Fett. This hatred for Jedi extends to the present timeline, and Fett regards any Jedi, especially Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo, with contempt. Fett, like almost everyone else, is unaware that Darth Vader was formerly the Jedi Anakin Skywalker.

Main article: Slave I

The ship was piloted by Boba Fett after his original ship, Slave I, was impounded on Tatooine. Fett later recovered the Slave I, and subsequently piloted Slave III and Slave IV.

Slave II is a MandalMotors Pursuer Enforcement Ship, a patrol craft popular with the Mandalorian police units since it was tough and good at dealing with pirates, as well as having the cargo space for usual police needs. Once Fett had bought the ship, he immediately went about modifying it so it would hold all the "nasty surprises" that victims of his other ship experienced.

Two Tion Mil/Sci Mil-StarIV engines propel the heavy patrol craft, and there are three Corellian Engineering x41 maneuvering thrusters mounted on the port-side stabiliser. Powerful Torplex military-grade shield generators provide protection, whereas the ship itself is armed with twin forward firing blaster cannons and an ion cannon turret. There is also a "surprise weapon", consisting of a rearward firing proton torpedo launcher, which holds a magazine of six torpedoes. The ship also has a sophisticated sensor array system, such as in Slave I, though it lacks the stealth systems found in Slave I. There are also rumours of five force-field enclosed prisoner cages on board. Slave II is not so heavily armed as Slave I, but is faster and more maneuverable.

The Pursuer Enforcement Ships can also be experienced in the game X-Wing Alliance, where they sometimes make an appearance, often piloted by pirates. There is also the option to fly the PES ship in the combat simulator feature.

Boba Fett has been portrayed by a total of eight actors throughout all the Star Wars productions and video games.

In his first chronological appearance, in Attack of the Clones, he was played by actor Daniel Logan. In the special edition of A New Hope, he is portrayed by ILM creature animator Mark Austin, though he was uncredited for the role. In both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett is played by Jeremy Bulloch. In the original and special edition versions of both movies, he was voiced by Jason Wingreen.

In the 2004 DVD versions of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and all subsequent games (such as Star Wars: Empire at War), he was voiced by actor Temuera Morrison, who had portrayed Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, and the voices of all the clones in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In Return of the Jedi, however, he only provided Fett's laugh, which was added in to match that made by the younger version of the character in Attack of the Clones; the Wilhelm scream (also used in the other movies) was retained for Fett's fall into the Sarlacc pit. The reason for the controversial decision of replacing Wingreen's voice was that, as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well.

In the special edition of Return of the Jedi, new shots of Boba were filmed. Both Don Bies and Nelson Hall played him in these shots. Bies had also voiced him in the animated portion of The Star Wars Holiday Special. Canadian actor George Buza voiced Fett in "Droids" episode "Race to the finish"

Tom Kane voiced Boba Fett in the game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
