Star Wars: Is Boba Fett a clone?

InThe Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader tasks several compensation hunters with finding the Millenium Falcon. Among the lineup is an unlikely-looking bunch. From an IG unit of measurement to the Trandoshan named Bossk. But out of that grouping emerged a victor — one of the greatest bounty hunters of all time: Boba Fett.

The graphic symbol first technically appeared in blithe form during theStar Wars Vacation Special that aired ii years prior. Just in one case he was finally introduced into the live-action world, many people were instantly attracted to the coolness and mystique that shrouded the hunter.

In the original trilogy, he may also have been only some other man. But once the prequel trilogy emerged, nosotros learned something completely new about Boba Fett every bit a immature boy. His father, as we found out inAttack of the Clones, was a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. And Jango Fett was the human who lent his DNA to the scientists of Kamino so that they could create thousands of clones in his likeness for the Grand Army of the Republic.

With Boba Fett existence Jango'south "son," that led some to wonder: is Boba Fett a clone of Jango Fett, or is he his biological son?

Boba Fett's origins explained

Every bit it was revealed inAttack of the Clones, yes, Boba Fett is a clone. Though Jango is considered his "male parent," he is cipher more than another clone of Jango who was created on Kamino.

There is a difference between Boba and the rest of the clones who were part of the army, though. The clones were created with modifications so that they could grow/age more rapidly, ensuring that the cosmos procedure for a fully adult clone army was reduced. In addition, there were also some behavioral modifications that would make them more susceptible to orders.

But, per Jango's request, ane clone would be created without whatsoever of those modifications. And thus, he was gifted his son Boba by the Kaminoans. In this regard, Boba had more freedom to practice what he wanted compared to the other clones. And this is why we eventually come across him follow in the footsteps of existence like his male parent, a compensation hunter.

Recently, we learned more about Jango and Boba's past inThe Mandalorianseason 2. And evenThe Clone Warshas touched on Boba'southward past as a child. But we'll likely learn a lot more than nigh his character onceThe Book of Boba Fett comes to Disney+ this December.
