Boba Fett

Boba Fett? Boba Fett?! Where?! (The answer is Star Wars).

I think it's time to blow this scene, get everybody and the stuff together... okay, three, two, one, let's jam.

Boba Fett is the clone "son" of Jango Fett. Boba would become perhaps the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy... or perhaps not.

Fiction

Star Wars Transformers

After months of tracking the smuggler Han Solo, and apparently suffering from a lack of sleep, Boba Fett turned to using modified armor and new shape-shifting technology. Morphing his new mechanized armor into Slave I mode, he flew to Coruscant, where his bounty was last seen.

Toys

Star Wars Transformers

Lack of balance faithfully reproduced.

• Boba Fett / Slave I (2006)
  • Accessories: Missile, 2 pistols

• Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)

Star Wars Transformers Boba Fett comes with his spaceship, the Slave I, which turns into a robotic simulation of himself, featuring a missile-launching jet pack... Fancy! It comes with a mini-figure of Boba, articulated at the hips and shoulders. The two laser cannons on the ship mode's tail can be removed and used as pistols in robot mode. The arms/airfoils have a tendency to pop out of their tracks due to the pressure joint used.

This mold was later redecoed as Jango Fett.

Crossovers

• Slave I to Boba Fett (2008/2009)
  • Accessories: Missile, 2 pistols

The same toy was later repackaged without the mini-figure in the new Crossovers toyline. Other features remain the same. It was first released in 2008 in blue and white packaging, and later re-released in 2009 in red and white packaging with the name reversed as "Boba Fett to Slave I".

Notes

• Long before Optimus Prime's shortened smokestacks or Megatron's orange plug, Boba Fett was one of the first casualties of US Safety Standards.
• Cree Summer's father Don Francks was the first actor to play Boba Fett in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special back in 1978. In the years after the release of the special, Neil Ross, David Lodge, Dee Bradley Baker, Trevor Devall and Jon Hamm later voiced Fett in voice acted related projects.
• A NAIL in issues #1 and #2 of IDW's Robots in Disguise is drawn to resemble Boba Fett.
