George Lucas has hinted around that he is interested in bringing actor Daniel Logan, the man (then boy) who played the young Boba Fett in , to reprise his role as Fett in the upcoming Star Wars: Live-Action TV Series, scheduled for release in 2008.

Originally, the scene with Jabba was shot with Declan Mulholland as a stand-in for a stop-motion creature to be superimposed on the film. However, due to budget constraints, Lucas was not able to finish the scene properly, and have it in the original version of the film. However, using digital technology, he was able to create Jabba as a digital model for the 1997 and 2004 special editions. He restored the footage claiming it was part of his original vision for the film. Fett was inserted presumably to give greater continuity in the trilogy, and the saga as a whole. It also served as a form of fan service. The new footage of Fett was shot with an ILM employee in the Fett costume, and the footage was digitally inserted into the Jabba scenes.

Two years after the Battle of Endor, Boba infiltrated the speedy and powerful Rebel cruiser was later seen twice in deep space by the Rebel Alliance, and the Rebels pursued the ship but both times it entered hyperspace. It was never seen by the Rebellion again.

For the 2004 DVD version of , George Lucas reveals in the commentary for the DVD that he considered adding a shot where Boba escapes the Sarlacc, as the Expanded Universe has shown. The scene was meant as a form of fan service, despite the fact that he originally intended Fett to die, even though the Expanded Universe had made it canon. Eventually, though, he explains that he decided against it because at that point in the movie, the main point of focus is the death of Jabba the Hutt, and he felt that the scene with Fett would draw away from that.

It is of interest to note that, though Fett's Sarlacc escape is official and did "happen" in the canon, had Lucas inserted that particular scene into the movie, it would have made Fett's escape part of the highest level of canon, which is G-canon. Arguably, this is still the case, as Lucas's comments imply it happened in the film, simply off-screen.

Based on Expanded Universe sources, Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc with the help of Dengar. While the Sarlacc left extensive damage physically and mentally, Fett manages to summon the will to recover and resumes his career.

Some of Boba Fett's character in the Expanded Universe is sometimes thought to have been compromised by revelations in , but the literature still manages to entertain and reveal aspects of Fett's life not discussed in the films. When Boba's clone origins were first revealed in 2002, they appeared to contradict a few Expanded Universe stories that had preceded them. Following the stunning revelation of , however, new Expanded Universe stories retconned the apparent discrepancies in Fett's past, smoothing out the minor contradictions that had arisen as a result of the film. For the most part, official sources claim that his past was made intentionally ambiguous by himself and others. All the stories that contradict his origins as seen in have either been retconned or revealed as untruths spread by Fett and others to hide his true origins and past.

He meets his future employer, Jabba the Hutt, fights the Separatist supreme commander, General Grievous (and loses), and has several minor bounties under his belt before the age of thirteen.

It should be noted that although Boba had lost his father, he had not lost his father's guidance. His father had left a holobook with a series of videos explaining what to do and where to go. This would eventually lead him to Jabba the Hutt.

Amazingly, Boba was one of the only beings in the galaxy to know the major secret of the Clone Wars. His father had advised him never to mention this to anyone, but on a Separatist banking clan planet Fett revealed that the clone army had been built by Count Dooku. This bought him time as he was being chased by Aurra Sing.

In the early days of the Empire, the clones being developed on Kamino were spiked so that they rebelled against the Empire, so the Empire sent the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers, led by the young Boba Fett, onto Kamino, where their mission was to capture the data needed to create Jango Fett clones and eliminate the rebellious clones. When the data was captured, the clones sent two Republic LAAT Gunships for backup but were shot down by the Imperial troopers. After the battle was won, Boba Fett left for Tatooine in search of a smuggler (who we now know is Han Solo).

At some point between 19 BBY and 12 BBY, Boba fell in love with Kiffar bounty hunter Sintas Vel, most likely during Fett's stint as a Journeyman Protector on his father's homeworld of Concord Dawn, where Fett was known as Jaster Mereel. They married and had one daughter, Ailyn Vel. Eventually, Boba left his family (it is speculated that he did so to keep them away from the enemies he was to make as a bounty hunter due to comments he has made regarding females in other stories). On Ailyn's sixteenth birthday, her mother died in pursuit of a bounty. Ailyn later became a bounty hunter herself, developing a strict adherence to the Bounty Hunters' Creed and nurturing an intense loathing of the father she had never known.

As revealed in the Star Wars Marvel Comics series, Boba Fett is believed to have served with a group of Supercommandos from the planet Mandalore towards the end of the Clone Wars. According to reports, only three Mandalorians survive: Boba Fett, Tobbi Dala, and Fenn Shysa. However, it is later revealed that this "Boba Fett" is not Boba Fett at all, but a rogue ARC trooper, Alpha-Ø2, nicknamed Spar, who has become obsessed with returning the Mandalorians to their former glory. Spar becomes Mandalore, the traditional title given to the leader of the Mandalorians, and later becomes known as "Mandalore the Ressurector."

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Boba Fett returns to the galactic scene as Mandalore, leading a new group of Mandalorian Crusaders and restoring their legacy to the galaxy.

For a brief period, a young man named Jodo Kast poses as Boba Fett, by wearing a Mandalorian armor similar to Fett's. His motives are clear: gain the reputation of an infamous bounty hunter, and profit from this new profile. Kast's life is cut short, however, by the hands of Fett himself. During an attempt to collect a bounty, Kast is ambushed by Fett and his fellow bounty hunter Dengar.

A scuffle ensues and Kast collapses from the power of a poisonous dart.

Fett rigs Kast's jet pack to explode and places the antidote for the poison just beyond his reach. However, Kast does not capture the antidote in time and is buried in the rubble from the explosion. Kast appears in a series of comics titled , where it is revealed that he has survived the Sarlacc and continues his hunt for Han Solo. The story of Boba's first escape and recovery (there are three of themBoba Fett is documented mainly in the . Interestingly enough, Fett is found lying outside the Sarlacc pit by a fellow bounty hunter named Dengar, whom Boba had previously left to die earlier on in the novel

During one of the missions on this game, Fett makes a brief cameo, as he steals a Rebel weapons cache, and Jedi Knight Jaden Korr is sent to eliminate them. Obviously disturbing his plans, Boba Fett threatens Jaden to leave or die. When Jaden refuses, he is forced to run throughout the ruins to destroy the caches while fending off Boba Fett and his array of weapons, which included the standard blaster rifle, a high-powered sniping rifle, a flamethrower, and deadly portable missile launcher. Once the caches were all destroyed, Jaden Korr ran to his ship and confronted Boba Fett one last time. Now without any distractions, Jaden Korr and Boba Fett battled head-on. Being among the greatest and most powerful Jedi in the Order, Boba Fett was unable to overwhelm the young Jedi Knight. His only reply to his loss was: "No bounty on you. A shame." At that, he activates his jet pack, and flies away as Jaden escapes.

In addition to those mentioned, Boba Fett is a prominent figure in many other Star Wars novels, comics, games, and fan-made films. Initially, the novels revealed false tidbits of Boba's past.

There is a long-standing belief that Darth Vader and Boba Fett have an unspoken mutual respect for each other (ironically, Boba had been eager to see Anakin die in the arena in ). The bounty hunter is sometimes considered to be the closest thing Vader has to a right-hand man, even though Fett and Vader are at odds (with Fett questioning Vader over the carbonized Han Solo). In the ), Vader and Fett come to blows with a cask containing the decapitated-but-still-living head of an Icarii soothsayer. On Maryx Minor, Fett and Vader fight one-on-one for the cask, with Vader besting Fett. Vader spares Fett out of respect. Others have speculated that he did this because Darth Vader knew that he would need Fett later on.

In , Fett is seen questioning Vader in an informal manner, a deed which would probably get an Imperial officer strangled.

Likewise, Fett had a long-standing professional rivalry against Han Solo. The rivalry was jointly "dropped" when the two found each other at gunpoint, deciding the rivalry had taken too much out of both their lives and wasn't worth dying for. Solo, along with Kyle Katarn and his apprentice, Jaden Korr, are among the only people to elude capture by Fett on multiple occasions. And that is a good reason, for Fett is notorious for completely disintegrating those whom he has been hired to track down and kill.

Fett is revealed to have held a great hatred for the Jedi, at least in his younger years, because his father, whom he admired greatly, was slain by Mace Windu at the Battle of Geonosis and Boba never forgot. He has not made any attempts to fight Jedi in the recent stories, however, suggesting that maturity brought an end to his irrational prejudice.

Morrison did not, however, redo the scream Boba made when he fell into the Sarlacc pit, and Jason Wingreen's scream remained. The reasoning behind the controversial move of replacing the voice of Wingreen is that as a clone of Jango, Boba should sound like him as well. In the special edition of Return of the Jedi, new shots of Boba were filmed. In these scenes he was portrayed by Don Bies, who had also voiced him in the . Note that the Stormtroopers in Episodes IV-VI, are not all clones of Boba's father, Jango, as revealed in Battlefront II. Though this has been established in continuity, it must be noted that, if he wishes, Lucas still has the ability to change this fact in a newer release of his films. He still may dub Morrison's voice over the stormtroopers in the original films.

Tom Kane voiced Boba Fett in the game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
