Jango Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, created by George Lucas. He made his debut in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, portrayed by actor Temuera Morrison.
In the context of the Star Wars universe, Jango Fett was regarded as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy during the final years of the Republic. A naturally skilled warrior, he was eventually chosen to serve as the genetic template for the Clone Army of the Galactic Republic. These clone soldiers were genetically modified to be predisposed toward unquestioning obedience to the chain of command, unlike their highly independent progenitor. Jango was also the "father" of unaltered clone Boba Fett, which he requested as part of his contract with the Kaminoans.
In early drafts of Attack of the Clones, Fett's first name was "J'mee". His name is a reference to the 1966 Corbucci film Django, featuring a hyper-violent drifter played by Franco Nero.
Jango is covered in a sleek armored suit that conceals his scarred face, largely based on Boba Fett's iconic outfit from the original trilogy, designed by Joe Johnston. However, Jango's suit is distinguished by color differences (it is primarily silver, blue and black), thigh shin and spat armor, and a comparative lack of accessories and trophies.
Jango Fett was portrayed by Temuera Morrison in Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Star Wars: Battlefront II, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (the PSP version) and Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, Bob Marshall in a commercial (but the voice was provided by an unknown actor) ILM filmed for Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Jeff Bennett in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, and Andrew Chaikin in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
