'''Jango Fett''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[fictional universe|universe]]. He first appeared in ''[[Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'', in which he was played by [[Temuera Morrison]]. Before ''Attack of the Clones'', Jango was mentioned in ''Star Wars'' novels such as ''The Bounty Hunter Special''.
'''Klepto''' is a large buzzard who attempts to steal [[Mario]]'s hat in [[Shifting Sand Land]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Mario can attack the bird, knocking him out for short periods of time. Klepto, eventually, will regain his senses and continue trying to steal the hat. Without his hat, Mario takes more damage when attacked.


Jango Fett's son is his [[Clone (genetics)|clone]] [[Boba Fett]], made famous in ''[[Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]''. Both father and son served as [[bounty hunter]]s, and personal bodyguards of political figures as [[Count Dooku]], and [[Palpatine]], indirectly aiding the rise of the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Empire]].
When Mario first meets Klepto, he is holding a [[Power Star]]. Needing the star, Mario knocks the item out of the bird's grip and claims it for himself. Perhaps Klepto's obsession to steal Mario's hat stems from the fact that Mario stole his Power Star.


== Fictional character biography ==
Klepto has the same Power Star and purpose in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He also appears in another level, the [[Sunshine Isles]], in the toy room. He makes a final appearance in [[Tiny-Huge Island]] (when the character is big.) He is carrying, as usual, a star - except this time it's a [[Silver Star]].
Jango Fett was orphaned at an early age, the son of simple Concord Dawn farmers killed by brutal marauders. At the age of ten, he was picked up by Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel, who introduced Fett to a harsh world of mercenary life. He was raised among great warriors, learning to survive in the rugged frontiers. Though the Mandalorian supercommandos were wiped out by the Jedi Knights, Jango was one of the few left to still wear the armor.


Years of physical conditioning and training honed him into one of the most feared bounty hunters in the underworld. Not even Black Sun Vigos were safe from his dual blaster pistols. On occasion, Fett would tangle with Zam Wesell, as their talents would overlap on similar assignments. Though he preferred working solo, the two teamed up when it was prudent. The two shared a misadventure in tracking down a rare artifact from Seylott, which granted its user incredible power.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' many Kleptos can be seen flying in a desert stage. This confirms that Kleptos are a species, and that maybe the Kleptos Mario sees in each game are different from the one in ''Super Mario 64''.


Fett all but disappeared from bounty hunting circles as he took time to raise his son. He sought to experience what his life might have been like had he been raised by a caring guardian. Still, if the credits were right or the challenge appealed to him, he would don his battle armor periodically and venture from his hiding place.  
[[Image:MPAKlepto.gif|thumb|left|100px|Klepto in ''Mario Party Advance''.]]
Klepto also appears in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. He is used to transport characters to different spaces on the game board.
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a Klepto guards a treasure chest with a star and the player has to guess his favorite number. He gives it away by saying "What was that for for for for?" when the player guesses wrong. So the code is obviously 4444. The player gets the Star from the Klepto after inputting the correct code.  


=== Pursuit and confrontation ===
[[Buzzar]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' might be related to the Kleptos.
Jango and Boba escape from Kenobi, again believing him to be out of the picture, and land safely on Geonosis. Kenobi, however, survives the contest and tracks them, eventually witnessing a meeting of Separatist leaders, where he learns that Jango is in league with Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatists. Kenobi is soon captured and [[death sentence|sentenced to death]] in the arena for [[espionage]], as well as [[Anakin Skywalker]] and [[Padmé Amidala]], who had come to rescue Kenobi. Count Dooku, [[Nute Gunray]], [[List of Star Wars Separatist characters#Libkath, Gilramos|Gilramos Libkath]], Jango, and Boba are then allowed to watch the executions from Geonosian Archduke [[Poggle the Lesser]]'s private viewing box.


Before the three spies could be executed, the ceremony is disrupted by the arrival of [[Mace Windu]] and a large number of other Jedi; a [[Battle of Geonosis|battle]] erupts between the Jedi and the Separatist [[battle droid]]s. Jango attacks Windu with his flamethrower, forcing the Jedi Master to retreat to the arena floor. Jango refrains from joining the melee, staying in the viewing box to guard Dooku. Eventually he joins the battle; flying down into the arena, he engages Windu, but the confrontation is quickly interrupted by an enraged [[List of Star Wars creatures#Reek|Reek]], which tramples Jango before he is able to finally get clear and kill it with a single precisely aimed shot to the snout.
Klepto gets his name from the term kleptomania, the inability to resist the impulse to steal.


Fett then turns to face off against the Jedi Master again, but he fails to notice that his jetpack and linked flamethrower, which draw from the same fuel source, had been severely damaged by the Reek. Jango is able to fire off a few menacing shots before Windu [[decapitation|decapitates]] him with a swift swipe of his [[lightsaber]].

A Klepto.

Klepto is a large buzzard who attempts to steal Mario's hat in Shifting Sand Land during the events of Super Mario 64. Mario can attack the bird, knocking him out for short periods of time. Klepto, eventually, will regain his senses and continue trying to steal the hat. Without his hat, Mario takes more damage when attacked.

When Mario first meets Klepto, he is holding a Power Star. Needing the star, Mario knocks the item out of the bird's grip and claims it for himself. Perhaps Klepto's obsession to steal Mario's hat stems from the fact that Mario stole his Power Star.

Klepto has the same Power Star and purpose in Super Mario 64 DS. He also appears in another level, the Sunshine Isles, in the toy room. He makes a final appearance in Tiny-Huge Island (when the character is big.) He is carrying, as usual, a star - except this time it's a Silver Star.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour many Kleptos can be seen flying in a desert stage. This confirms that Kleptos are a species, and that maybe the Kleptos Mario sees in each game are different from the one in Super Mario 64.

Klepto in Mario Party Advance.

Klepto also appears in Mario Party 4. He is used to transport characters to different spaces on the game board. In Mario Party Advance, a Klepto guards a treasure chest with a star and the player has to guess his favorite number. He gives it away by saying "What was that for for for for?" when the player guesses wrong. So the code is obviously 4444. The player gets the Star from the Klepto after inputting the correct code.

Buzzar from Paper Mario might be related to the Kleptos.

Klepto gets his name from the term kleptomania, the inability to resist the impulse to steal.
