LEGO Jango Fett LEGO Star Wars Figure


Everyone remembers Boba Fett from the original Star Wars films. The greatest Bounty Hunter in the galaxy is very popular among fans of the Star Wars films and everyone wants to dress up as Boba Fett on Halloween. It is important to remember however that Boba Fett is just a clone of the original great Bounty Hunter - Jango Fett.

There is only one appearance by the LEGO Jango Fett in the series of Star Wars LEGOs and that is in Jango Fett's Slave I 7153 LEGO set. This is an awesome version of the famous Slave I starship and looks great when completed. The set includes two LEGO Star Wars figures - Jango Fett himself and a young LEGO Boba Fett. These two characters combined typically fetch north of $50 for the pair and can be very difficult to find in complete shape even at that price. Jango Fett comes with two pistols and his removable helmet while Boba simply comes with his mean mug.
With these two Star Wars LEGO mini figures you can recreate the scene from Episode II: The Attack of the Clones when the pair were chased by Obi-Wan Kenobi and where Jango was ultimately beheaded by Mace Windu.

While Jango Fett finally lost his life to Jedi, his clone / son would go on to play a huge role in later films and take his fathers place as the greatest Bounty Hunter in the galaxy. Also the Clone army were also all clones of Jango Fett so his legacy definitaly lived on long after his death at the hands of Mace Windu.

Typically the best way to find a LEGO Jango Fett is from auction sites like eBay. You can either by just the LEGO mini figure or you can try to go after the entire 7153 Jango Fett's Slave 1 set but be ready to open up your wallet for that.
