Boba Fett, portrayed and voiced by several actors, is a character in the Star Wars fictional universe. A bounty hunter hired by Darth Vader (David Prowse/James Earl Jones) to track down the Millennium Falcon, he is the "next major villain" after Vader in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) establishes that Boba Fett is a clone of Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), a bounty hunter who raises Boba as a son. The Star Wars Expanded Universe expands on Fett's origins and career as a bounty hunter. Fett, the personification of "danger and mystery", is a "cult figure"] and "one of the most popular characters in the entire Star Wars galaxy".
Fett is played by Jeremy Bulloch in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although Jason Wingreen provided his voice in The Empire Strikes Back. George Buza voiced Fett in the Star Wars: Droids episode "Race to the Finish" (1985). His brief appearance in the special edition of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1997) was performed by Industrial Light & Magic creature animator Mark Austin; Fett's appearance in the special edition footage of Return of the Jedi was performed by Don Bies and Nelson Hall. Daniel Logan portrayed Fett as a child in Attack of the Clones. For the 2004 DVD release of The Empire Strikes Back, his voice was replaced by Temuera Morrison's. Morrison and other actors have also voiced Fett for several Star Wars video games.
