Last post I explained that not all Clone Wars stories feature Jedi heroism and then went on to cover the first three Republic Commando novels as well as the video game that started that franchise. This next post does something similar. In Episode II: Attack of the Clones , we meet the bounty hunter Jango Fett, who featured in comics and a game in the pre-Clone Wars period, which we looked at in Part 13 . In that second prequel film, Jango Fett is identified as the template for the Republic's clone troopers, as well as being in the employ of Count Dooku aka Lord Tyranus, leader of the Separatists. As part of his payment for his services to the clone army, he was provided with a clone son, Boba Fett, whom we will know as the bounty hunter hired by Darth Vader to track down the Millennium Falcon in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back . Young Boba Fett grew up on Kamino with his father, the Kaminoan cloners, a variety of other bounty hunters, and hundreds of thousands of clone troopers....
