Why does boba fett hate han solo

As they entered the ship, they encountered R2-D2 , Skywalker's personal astromech droid , who attempted to slow their advance by throwing debris at them and closing doors in their path. Unable to make it to the bridge, Sing made the decision to use Slave I to destroy the remainder of the Endurance , ensuring that Windu would perish.

Before using Slave I , the bounty hunters overheard an explosion caused by R2-D2, who had been attacked by gundarks and used one of the Jedi starfighters to kill a gundark. The bounty hunters believed that meant Windu had survived and jammed all communication, hoping to prevent the Jedi from requesting help.

R2-D2 was able to escape in the other starfighter, however, and survived a brief firefight with Slave I before jumping to hyperspace for Coruscant , where he successfully found help at the Jedi Temple and was able to bring a team of Jedi and clones to rescue Windu and Skywalker.

The bounty hunters, meanwhile, decided to use the hostages to lure Windu into a trap. Sing took charge of setting the trap, and she sent a transmission to the Jedi Temple revealing that they were holding the Republic prisoners. Sing told Boba to personally execute Commander Ponds during the transmission, but he refused, as his goal was to kill Windu rather than other prisoners. Sing executed Ponds on her own, jettisoning him into space, and Boba's relationship with her and the other bounty hunters began to deteriorate.

Boba objected to the treatment of the other prisoners as well, going so far as to show compassion by providing them with water. The group soon took refuge on Florrum , where Sing planned to seek the assistance of Hondo Ohnaka , a spice pirate and her former lover.

Ohnaka was also a friend of Jango's, which Boba learned when Sing introduced them and when the pirate said he was sorry for his father's death. Ohnaka declined to help her if the Jedi arrived on Florrum, but he also vowed not to stand in her way.

Castas, however, contacted a fellow bounty hunter on Coruscant and offered to provide information on Boba and the others. Sing overheard his conversation and executed him, leaving Boba horrified as he began to realize he had made a mistake in teaming with the bounty hunters against Windu. Despite Castas' betrayal, it was his transmission to Coruscant that allowed the Jedi to discover Boba and the others on Florrum, as Tano had overheard the transmission.

The two Jedi arrived on Florrum shortly thereafter, where Sing attempted to ransom the prisoners. Both sides ended up attacking one another, with Boba holding a blaster to Koon's head and Tano holding a lightsaber to Sing's throat. The bounty hunters created a diversion and attempted to escape, but Boba was captured while Sing fled on a speeder. Koon interrogated Boba, who refused to disclose the location of the hostages despite his reservations about their treatment.

Ohnaka was able to convince Boba to tell the Jedi, however, by saying that Jango would have wanted his son to do the honorable thing. The hostages were rescued, while Sing managed to make it to Slave I and begin to flee, but Tano clung to the ship and damaged it enough to cause a crash. The ship went down in a fiery explosion and the Jedi assumed Sing had been killed, but she survived. Boba and Bossk, who was also taken into custody, were sent to Coruscant where they would be imprisoned.

Windu met Boba upon his arrival, and Boba apologized for his actions and the destruction that he caused—but he vowed to never forgive Windu for killing his father. Boba was imprisoned on Coruscant for his actions during the assassination attempts. During his time in prison, a Republic plan was put in motion aimed at preventing a suspected kidnapping plot against Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. To do so, Obi-Wan Kenobi faked his death and disguised himself as Rako Hardeen , the suspect in the attempt on his life, and entered the same prison where Boba was being held.

Kenobi teamed with Moralo Eval , a suspect in the suspected kidnapping plot, and bounty hunter Cad Bane to escape the prison in the hopes it would lead him towards the heart of the conspiracy. As part of the escape attempt, Bane paid and encouraged Boba to confront "Hardeen," and Boba claimed that Hardeen had cheated him out of a bounty. Boba and Kenobi briefly fought one another, before Bossk intervened and started a riot to defend Boba. Bane's plan was successful, [22] and Kenobi eventually went on to help stop the plot against Chancellor Palpatine.

Bane then asked to tell him the story, to which Boba replied that he hoped it would end with Bane repaying him the money he promised for creating the earlier distraction. After asking further about their cut of the deal, Bane revealed that 'Hardeen' had not actually killed Kenobi, before going into the story of what transpired from Bane's perspective.

After hearing Bane's full recounting, Boba interjected his distaste for the Jedi before informing Bane of a plan he and Bossk had concocted which would involve Bane and the use of his blasters. Boba became a bounty hunter in his own right, forming a syndicate based on Tatooine. Boba left prison shortly thereafter [25] and formed the bounty hunter syndicate Krayt's Claw , [7] using Tatooine as his base of operations.

After Asajj Ventress , a former apprentice of Count Dooku who was betrayed by the Sith Lord and became a bounty hunter, killed one of their teammates, Oked , Ventress was hired in his place.

The team left Tatooine and proceeded to an orbital elevator station above Quarzite where they meet their employer, Major Rigosso , and received the specifics of their assignment. The crew was to protect the contents of a chest, which would be delivered to the Otua Blank , the ruler of Quarzite, via an underground tram, as the planet's atmosphere rendered delivery via spacecraft impossible.

The chest needed protection from the band of raiders , which was why the bounty hunters were hired. The team embarked on their mission by taking the space elevator down beneath the surface of the planet, where they boarded the tram and made their preparations to defend the chest from the raiders.

The raiders boarded the tram during its journey and attacked, killing the Quarzite personnel. Most of the bounty hunters were thrown off of the tram. During the struggle against the raiders, Boba inadvertently knocked the chest over, revealing its contents: a young woman named Pluma Sodi , who had been kidnapped so she could be married to Otua Blank against her will.

The leader of the raiders, Krismo Sodi , was her brother, who had been trying to save his sister. Ventress and Boba, who managed to remain on the tram, argued about the situation after Pluma pleaded with the former Sith acolyte, who felt sympathy for the girl; Ventress had also been forcibly taken from her home. Boba, on the other hand, intended to continue with the operation. Ventress used the Force to choke Boba, preventing him from fulfilling the mission [25] and pulling him into the same room where Pluma and Krismo were being kept.

Once the tram arrived at its destination, Ventress delivered the chest to Blank and claimed the bounty, departing before the ruler could discover the chest's contents: an angry Boba, who Ventress had tied up and placed into the chest. Ventress had released Pluma to her brother and regrouped with the other bounty hunters, paying them their shares of the bounty before parting company with them.

When Ventress met with the other hunters at the ship and asked her where their leader was, she replied that Boba would turn up. Despite his embarrassment at Ventress' hands, Boba continued to run a successful syndicate of bounty hunters based out of both Coruscant and Tatooine. However, Ventress' history with the team continued to haunt the crew. Vos was interested in hunting down the former Sith for a planned assassination attempt on Count Dooku and wanted to partner with Ventress.

Using Fett's information, Vos traveled to Pantora where he rendezvoused with Ventress. After doing several bounty hunting jobs together, Vos revealed his true mission to Ventress, who agreed to train him in the ways of the dark side of the Force.

When Vos' attempt failed, Ventress approached Boba once again at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on Tatooine with the hopes of recruiting his syndicate to rescue her new partner turned lover. While initially cool, Fett and his fellow bounty hunters accepted Ventress' job after she offered to pay , credits in advance. Satisfied, Boba and his allies joined Ventress on her mission to rescue Vos. However, Dooku defeated Fett and his fellow bounty hunters with relative ease and Ventress's attempt to save Vos resulted in failure as well.

Defeated but alive, Boba and his crew retreated from Serenno. At some point during his childhood years, like how he had with Sing, Fett learned about the bounty hunting trade from Cad Bane and Ohnaka.

Fett also took back possession of Slave I. Boba assumed the mantle Jango had left as a notorious bounty hunter, as Boba became known as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Without access to him, Prime Minister Lama Su turned the cloners' attention to Omega during the early Imperial Era , intending to use her pure Fett DNA to create [13] a superior clone model for the Galactic Empire , as the new government was turning away from using clone troopers. Furthermore, Omega had joined the renegade clone commando unit known as Clone Force 99 , who were made aware of her importance to the Kaminoans, including her relation to Boba, by commando " Tech. Khamus , heir to the Mourner's Wail Syndicate , hired Fett as well as other bounty hunters to infiltrate a sanctuary of the Unbroken Clan and kill a target on Corellia.

The team—which included Beilert Valance , Bossk , Nakano Lash , and T'ongor —successfully defeated the guards surrounding the facility in Coronet City , but were forced to retreat when Lash gunned Khamus down after the client eliminated their target.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War , Fett was regarded as an established bounty hunter who worked as one of Jabba the Hutt 's go-to mercenaries. However, the Hutt crime lord instead hired the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo , who considered himself better than Fett but failed in the mission. Fett was present in Jabba's Palace when the crime lord reprimanded Greedo, nearly throwing the Rodian into his Rancor pit until Ithorian Dok-Ondar agreed to purchase a special lightsaber the bounty hunter had recovered on the mission.

Boba was present when Jabba discouraged a pair of travelers from seeking to acquire the alcoholic beverage Desert Wind from a group of Tuskens. He later ambushed the travelers in addition to other interested parties when they attempted to continue their quest without Jabba's knowledge.

At some point before the secret mission to Tatooine , Boba traveled to Coruscant where he encountered three rebel spies. After the spies attempted to engage Boba with Ion disruptors he disintegrated them using a weapon accelerator, which angered Darth Vader who refused to pay Boba the bounty as there were no bodies.

When Geezer , a member of the Hutt Clan left the syndicate to form a band called Star Waver , Jabba hired Boba to capture the rogue Hutt and bring him to Tatooine for execution.

Along with a few other bounty hunters, Boba tracked down the band during a concert and attempted to bring in Geezer. But Geezer and the band fought off their attackers and made a hasty escape, only for Boba to follow them in Slave I.

Eventually, Boba found the band again and threatened to kill Geezer's companions if he didn't come with him. Geezer then surrendered and left with Boba in his starship en route to Tatooine.

Boba returned Geezer to Jabba, who prepared for him to be publicly executed. Star Waver however soon made a deal with Jabba to allow them to perform one last song with Geezer. Geezer and his band then performed to the approval of the crowd.

But before Geezer could be killed, Jay , the band's vocalist asked Jabba to spare Geezer and become the band's first sponsor. Jabba agreed and Geezer was spared, allowing the band to continue playing as Boba found himself enjoying their music. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin , Boba originally planned to leave Tatooine. But after catching wind that Vader was looking for a couple of runaway droids, Boba changed plans in order to attempt to collect the bounty.

He followed one of the droids' footprints which led to treadmarks made by a sandcrawler. Upon tracing the sandcrawler's path to its destination, he discovered that the Jawas had been wiped out, most likely by stormtroopers. After additional work, Boba deduced that the Empire's forces had seemingly killed everyone known to have seen the droids. This included the two inhabitants living at a torched moisture farm which Boba had investigated.

With careful observation, Boba found that there had been three inhabitants living in that moisture farm, and that the third inhabitant had most likely run off with the droids.

Later, Boba was present in Mos Eisley on Tatooine when Jabba confronted Han Solo , one of the Hutt's smugglers ; Solo owed Jabba money after having dumped his smuggling cargo before his ship, the Millennium Falcon , was boarded by soldiers from the Galactic Empire.

Solo promised Jabba he would pay him, but a bounty had been placed on the smuggler's head. Solo, who became a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, [38] ultimately did not pay Jabba, leading Boba to pursue the bounty. However, Vader arrived a day early on behalf of himself. Jabba was wary of Vader, but ordered his court to leave them in privacy nonetheless. Vader soon revealed that he needed two of Jabba's top bounty hunters. Later that day Boba and Krrsantan met Vader out in the desert after meeting with Jabba.

Vader inquired to whether the two bounty hunters were Jabba's finest, and when Boba assured him they were, Vader gave them each their missions: Boba was to capture a Rebel Alliance pilot who was associated with a man named Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a smuggling vessel known as the Millennium Falcon.

And Krrsantan's bounty was on an Imperial agent who the Emperor favored. He was also to be apprehended alive. Boba assured Vader that his will would be done. The Dark Lord told them to start immediately as he basked in a Tusken Raider camp he had slaughtered earlier. Per Vader's orders, Boba began the search immediately. He knew Solo frequented Mos Eisley, so he started there to find Solo's accomplice.

Boba soon found a group of four Rodians and informed them of his search for Kenobi, to which the lead Rodian replied that Kenobi was just some "crazy old wizard," who lived in the Dune Sea, and asked why Boba was looking for the wizard. Boba pointed his weapon at the Rodian, stated that Kenobi was dead, and that he alone would be asking the questions. Boba then killed the Rodians, after they proved useless, and went in search of others who might know anything useful about the boy.

He came across a group of Jawas that he also killed, then a family of moisture farmers that he interrogated, before murdering them as well. All leads proved fruitless, therefore, Boba headed towards the cantina, the place where most of Tatooine's scum and villainy went to drink.

Boba entered, stood as the center of attention, and addressed the gathered criminals and spacers, telling them he was not going to leave until someone provided him with the boy's name. However, while Boba threatened an Ithorian , someone in the back of the room spoke up and mocked that the only boy he saw, was Boba.

The bounty hunter demanded to know who had insulted him, and was pleased when a six-armed [41] over two meter tall [42] alien approached. Boba quickly overpowered the alien, removing one of its arms and breaking three others, in order to intimidate the patrons into answering his questions. Boba again demanded the boy's name. Suddenly, a young moisture farmer bolted towards the exit, but Boba fired a length of fibercord that tripped up the teen.

The young farmer claimed he didn't know anything, but to Boba, he obviously did for he had tried to run. Boba tied the young man to a table and and proceeded to interrogate him. The teen eventually broke and told Boba the boy's history on Tatooine, and most importantly, his name: Luke Skywalker. The bounty hunter knew the teen spoke the truth and released the boy who had "only wanted a drink," however, shot him in the chest right after. Boba left the cantina, boarded his ship, and headed to Ben Kenobi's home in the Jundland Wastes , where he waited for Skywalker to show.

A group of Tusken Raiders were ransacking Kenobi's home, but Skywalker and his astromech droid soon arrived and Skywalker chased them off with his lightsaber. Boba stealthily closed in on them as they entered the hut. Boba threw a flash grenade that temporarily blinded Skywalker and short-circuited his droid, R2-D2.

Boba moved in and hit Skywalker across the head with his carbine and ordered him to surrender. Skywalker, however, struck Boba in the stomach, hitting Boba's armor. Skywalker, as he was blind, mistook Boba for a stormtrooper. Skywalker deduced that since Boba hadn't killed him, whoever had hired the bounty hunter wanted Skywalker alive, so he ignited his lightsaber after Boba warned that Skywalker needn't be walking, just "alive.

Skywalker swung wildly, giving Boba the chance to shoot a length of fibercord that Skywalker surprisingly evaded. Skywalker used the noise that Boba's Mandalorian armor produced to fight him, and caused Boba to stumble backwards and trip over Artoo, prompting them both to charge each other.

The bounty hunter cut Skywalker several times with vibroblades that extended from his gauntlets, drawing blood several times. Boba again ordered him to surrender. Skywalker, therefore, added that Kenobi could help him even beyond death , prompting Boba to shoot him in the shoulder.

Boba prepared to do so again when Skywalker recited a Jedi saying, and deflected the incoming blaster bolt; forcing Boba to tackle the still-blind boy.

Both combatants grappled one another, and Boba began to press the lightsaber towards Skywalker's face. However, a box marked "For Luke" suddenly flew across the room and collided with Boba's head, knocking him unconscious. Skywalker and his astromech were equally surprised, but quickly left the hut and Tatooine, leaving Boba to report the events that had transpired to Lord Vader. Later, Boba traveled aboard Slave I to meet Vader on a Star Destroyer, and reported that the boy had "gotten lucky" and escaped.

Vader was disappointed and asked if Boba had brought him anything of value. Pizza Boi is correct. Boba sees Han as an annoyance and the two really dislike each other.

Because Mando has been caring for Baby Yoda, we've considered him to be a "good guy. But the revelation that Jango Fett was a Mandalorian — and that Mando himself is part of a radicalized sect — both accomplish the same thing: they loosen our biases for what a Star Wars hero can be. Throughout Star Wars, characters like Ahsoka and Rey toyed with the idea that the Jedi might not be the only force for good in the universe.

Even Palpatine pointed out that "good" was simply a point of view. The Mandalorian hasn't turned Palps into a sympathetic character yet , but it's proven him correct. When it comes to Boba Fett — and other "heartless" bounty hunters — everything we thought we knew might be wrong. The funny thing is, the evidence was there the whole time, we just had shinier heroes distracting us with colorful laser swords.

Ryan Britt. The Boba Fett we used to know There's no question the history of Boba Fett up until now has been focused on his ruthlessness and violence. Which begs the follow-on question, which is " What did Darth want Chewbacca for?

Buzz - It's pretty clear that Fett and Vader have discussed things earlier that Lando isn't party to. My best guess is that Vader wanted Chewbacca alive as a tool to make Leia more agreeable to interrogation.

Vader knew Leia could resist their best interrogation techniques when she was held prisoner on the Death Star. But torturing Chewie or threatening to kill him could make Leia more willing to divulge secrets about the Rebel Alliance. Phillip - I'm assuming that Fett is in Vader's good books and able to ask for a favour. Clearly Solo has zero value to Vader so it's not like he's asking for much and Vader is minded to say "yes" — Valorum.

Philipp There was a lot left unspoken in the movie - presumably Vader knew the price for using the services of one of the best bounty hunters in the Galaxy is giving Solo to Fett so he could collect the additional bounty from Jabba the Hutt. You're right, Vader could have simply taken Solo and broken his promise to Fett, but that would have ended any future business relations with Boba Fett. What surprised me when first viewing the movie is that Fett didn't seem to fear Darth Vader as much as other characters: "He's no good to me dead.

Harabeck that isn't a retcon — StayOnTarget. Cadence Cadence Vader: They must never again leave this city. Lando: That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter. Vader threateningly : Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?

Two points here. Firstly, it was learning that Vader was going to control the city by stationing a garrison that caused Lando to rebel. Secondly, this answer doesn't address why Vader didn't give Fett the Wookiee.
