Want to learn more about Boba Fett, where to start

[mike208]

I'm a big star wars fan, always leaned more toward the light side than the dark side. But there is just something about Boba Fett that intrigues me and I want to learn more about him. I did some research and know there are a bunch of books about him, some comics, cartoon series where he makes appearances. Between all the different mediums and that fact that the order the movies were released it seems like some of the books were also released out of order.

So my question is where do I start? Should I watch the clone wars cartoon or start with the books, if so what books and what order?

Haha, told wife I wanted that for Christmas. But I will have some free time in the next couple of days so I was hoping for something I could get my hands on sooner. I also wasn't sure exactly what all was covered in that.

I think I want the whole story, from when Jango was killed to the present

I honestly don't understand the obsession Fett. Jango stands there like an idiot while Mace Windu chops his head off, his clones become the poster children for cannon fodder, and Boba gets his ass kicked by a half blind Han with a stick.

Was going to say I wanted more detail than what a website could provide, but at first glance there appears to be a ton of info lol. That's part of what interested me about him. How could what is basically an untrained close e trooper become one of the top bounty hunters when the dang storm troopers can't hit the broad side of a barn.

He was a throwaway character that had less than a minute of screen time and a single sentence of dialog in the real trilogy. He dies without fanfare in Jedi.

He was digested slowly over many years.

his father is jango fett which is totally awesome. and all the storm troopers are, apparently. boba fett. or maybe jango fett, i forget--but that makes everything even more awesome.

You must first watch the Star Wars Holiday Special to see Boba Fett's first appearance. Don't skip to the cartoon, or stop when it's done. You must watch the entire special.
