50 Most Iconic Star Wars Costumes

19. Boba Fett

George Lucas cared enough Boba Fett to show off his origins as a clone on Kamino in AOTC, which means that his character is pretty important. Indeed he is! He’s the bounty hunter who gets to take Han Solo frozen in carbonite back to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine.

He also has a jetpack, and jetpacks, as we all know, are cool.

Anyway, Boba Fett falls into that “faceless villain” trope that Star Wars likes to use with characters like Darth Vader or even the stormtroopers.

However, unlike Vader or the troopers, Fett’s armor doesn’t have the shininess typically associated with Imperial armor. It tips us off visually that he doesn’t belong to that faction so much as has a mutual interest in the form of one Han Solo.

To bring it back to clone chat, one wonders if the prequel trilogy’s clone army armor was inspired by Boba Fett as much as it was by stormtroopers, because the clone army has a nearly identical visor shape.

This is also probably on purpose, because we learn that Boba’s father, Jango, also wore Mandalorian armor during his days as a bounty hunter.
