Long story short: Boba came close but ultimately failed to capture said pilot, although he passed their name ( Luke Skywalker) onto Vader, unaware of the bombshell he had just dropped on the Sith Lord. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back inspired artwork by Mark Daniels featuring the galaxys most fearsome bounty hunters - Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88. Vader and Fett would cross paths yet again after the Battle of Yavin in 'A New Hope.' As covered in the 'Darth Vader' and 'Star Wars' comic books, Vader made a private deal with Jabba to hire two of his top mercenaries (one of which was, naturally, Boba) to track down a Rebel pilot associated with Obi-Wan and the Millennium Falcon, which Boba knew all about due to its owner, Han Solo, owing Jabba money. This incident was notably referenced in 'The Empire Strikes Back' before being expanded upon in 'Added Muscle,' a short story by Paul Dini from the 2017 anthology book, 'From a Certain Point of View.' 4-LOM is one of many droid bounty hunters in the Star Wars galaxy, and his backstory has been expanded in the comic books, novels, and such. He was ultimately tasked with tracking down Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. Infamously, Boba disintegrated some Rebel spies he cornered on Coruscant before trying to collect the bounty on them, only for Vader to refuse payment because, well, disintegrated Rebel spies aren't actually useful when you're trying to crush a larger Rebellion. This Star Wars bounty hunter is one of the bounty hunter motley crew assembled by Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back. Mind you, that doesn't mean Boba and Vader were always on good terms. 'The Book of Boba Fett' has already begun to fill in the blanks of what happened to Boba after his big screen debut in 'The Empire Strikes Back' and near-death in 'Return of the Jedi' - but what about the 25-26 years between the events of those movies and Jango's demise? 'Attack of the Clones' culminated with the First Battle of Geonosis, in which Mace Windu defeated Jango by decapitating him in the midst of combat, leaving Boba to mourn him and continue on alone. Sadly, this evil-loving duo was not meant to last. A vignette to display the 6 bounty hunter minifigures from the Empire Strikes Back. You probably recognize Dengar as one of the many bounty hunters to appear in The Empire Strikes Back Its no coincidence that he was called upon when a bounty. He also encouraged Boba's nasty streak from a young age, as seen in 'Attack of the Clones' when Boba chuckles gleefully after Jango seemingly bombs Obi-Wan Kenobi into space dust. Where the other Jango clones were genetically altered to age faster and trained specifically for combat, Jango raised Boba as his son, mentoring him in the art of bounty hunting and giving him the tools he would need to survive years later. That changed with 2002's 'Attack of the Clones,' which revealed that Boba was actually a clone of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, himself the basis for the Grand Army of the Republic's soldiers.
