Comics Point: Star Wars: Boba Fett

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.

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.
