Jango Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars 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.

Jango Fett's son is his clone Boba Fett, made famous in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Both father and son served as bounty hunters, and personal bodyguards of political figures as Count Dooku, and Palpatine, indirectly aiding the rise of the Empire.

Fictional character biography

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.

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.

Pursuit and confrontation

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 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, 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 erupts between the Jedi and the Separatist battle droids. 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 Reek, which tramples Jango before he is able to finally get clear and kill it with a single precisely aimed shot to the snout.

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 decapitates him with a swift swipe of his lightsaber.
