In the parade, the Boba Fett costume was worn by Duwayne Dunham, working at the time as an assistant film editor and who later became a film and television director. The character of Boba Fett made his first public appearance at the San Anselmo Country Fair parade on 24 September 1978. His popularity within the Star Wars fanbase has earned him a cult following. The character of Boba Fett quickly became a fan favorite despite his limited presence in the original Star Wars trilogy, and is now a widely-recognized figure in popular culture. In several later-released Star Wars works, Fett himself is portrayed as a Mandalorian, or at least associated to the Mandalorian culture through his armor. This concept later evolved into the Mandalorians, a cultural group with strong warrior traditions, who sport armor and helmets similar to Fett's. Daniel Logan reprised his role as the younger version of Fett in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, while Temuera Morrison, who also portrayed Jango in Attack of the Clones, has portrayed an adult Boba in most of his Star Wars appearances since that film, most prominently in the live-action Disney+ series The Mandalorian and its spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett.ĭuring the development of The Empire Strikes Back, Fett was originally conceived as a member of a group of white-armored Imperial ' supercommandos' before the idea was scrapped in favor of a solitary bounty hunter.

The character also appears in many forms of Star Wars media outside of the films, such as books, comics, television series, and video games, many of which depict him as an antihero rather than a villain, and explore his background, motivations, and morality. A preteen Boba is portrayed by Daniel Logan in the prequel film Attack of the Clones (2002), which reveals the character's origins as the genetic clone and adoptive son of Jango Fett, also a famous bounty hunter. While seemingly killed in Return of the Jedi after falling into a sarlacc, he has since appeared in Star Wars media set after the film, confirming his survival. Notable for his taciturn demeanor and for never removing his helmet, Fett appears in both The Empire Strikes Back (1980), employed by the Galactic Empire, and Return of the Jedi (1983), serving the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. In the original trilogy, the character is a supporting antagonist and was mainly portrayed by Jeremy Bulloch and voiced by Jason Wingreen. He is an armored bounty hunter featured in both the original and prequel film trilogies, although he first appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), voiced by Don Francks.
