Jango Fett Costume
Jango Fett was born to a family of farmers on the world of Concord Dawn, a planet long associated with the heavily-armored super-soldiers known as the Mandalorians. Jango’s father served as Journeyman Protector, a title held by a civilian in Concord Dawn, having taken over the role when former Protector Jaster Mereel was exiled. Jango had an older sister named Arla.
In 41 BBY, Jango somehow lost his armor in the Meridian Sector. While searching for it, Jango met a woman named Sheeka Tull. She helped him find his armor, and they began a relationship. The two spent a year together, which ended when their ship was attacked by pirates. They each entered separate escape pods and never saw each other again.
Fett led the Mandalorians for the rest of the war until the disastrous Battle of Galidraan where the Death Watch led them into a trap. The Governor of Galidraan had secretly been hiding the Death Watch on his world. He was also facing an insurrection by some of his colonists, so he hired the True Mandalorians, under Jango Fett, to eliminate the rebels, which they did. However, under the advice of the Death Watch leader, Vizsla, the governor also informed the Jedi Council that a group of Mandalorians were murdering “political activists.” A group of Jedi were dispatched to the planet to deal with the Mandalorians, led by Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan Komari Vosa. In the resulting battle, the True Mandalorians on the planet were wiped out. Jango, the sole survivor, became enraged and demonstrated his amazing physical abilities by killing many of the attacking Jedi with his bare hands before finally surrendering.
Fett eventually escaped from slavery, and tracked the Death Watch to Corellia. There, he avenged Jaster Mereel’s death, killing Vizsla (with the help of a family of dire-cats) and a good many of his followers.
Shortly after the Invasion of Naboo, Jango was contacted by a man named Tyranus, who offered him a bounty on his former Jedi apprentice, Komari Vosa, who was now the deranged leader of a crime syndicate known as the Bando Gora. Jango had to compete with Montross, the former Mandalorian traitor whom Tyranus had also contacted about the bounty.
In order to gain an audience with Jabba, Jango fought a gang of outlaws led by Longo Two-Guns, who had a price on his head that was posted by the Hutt. When Jango came to Jabba to collect his reward, he asked the slimy crimelord about the Bando Gora. However, it turned out that Jabba actually had nothing to do with Vosa or the crime syndicate.
Having captured Jango, the Bando Gora prepared to turn him into a mindless slave. It was here that Jango acquired most of his facial scars. Vosa herself came to demand of him the name of his employer, but Zam Wesell freed Jango before being injured by the insane Dark Jedi. After a long duel with Vosa, Jango Fett emerged victorious. As he prepared to finish her off, Vosa asked if he would choose to leave her dead or alive. Jango, looking at the ruined female nearing her death, lowered his weapons. Vosa murmured “He… is here.” before being choked with the Force to her last breath.
Jango did not fully retire from his career, but he took fewer jobs and spent more time on Kamino, where he raised Boba in the Mandalorian ways while assisting the Kaminoans in developing training programs for the clone troopers. To assist him in this task, he recruited one hundred training sergeants, seventy-five of whom were Mandalorians, to assist in the task. These men became known as the Cuy’val Dar-”Those Who No Longer Exist”.
Shortly before the Clone Wars, Ashaar Khorda employed Jango to retrieve the statue known as the Infant of Shaa. Khorda hoped to use the Infant’s power to destroy Coruscant in the upcoming conflict. Fett succeeded in attaining the statue, but was persuaded by his rival and contemporary Zam Wesell to re-steal the statue from Khorda to save the galactic capital. A last-minute effort by Fett and Wesell saved the Infant from unleashing its power within a central Coruscant power core. Jedi Master Yarael Poof sacrificed himself to contain the fracturing statue and prevent the destruction of Coruscant, and Fett returned the statue to Seylott, the planet where the Infant was created, for safekeeping.
During the cloning process, Fett automatically became one of Tyranus’s bodyguards. Had he not already known, Fett probably now realized that Dooku (the Jedi Master who led the attack on Galidraan) and Tyranus were the same person. This knowledge would greatly help his son later on.
