14. Jango Fett

Movie: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Year: 2002
Actor: Temuera Morrison

Why: Similar to his son Boba Fett, Jango is simply the total package of cool. He is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy, fully equipped with a heavy arsenal of weapons. He is a modest, mysterious character just like his son Boba, yet we actually learn more about Jango's story. He looks at his profession as merely business and not personal. One minute he is having a conversation with Obi-Wan and the next minute they are engaged in a fierce battle in the rain. He makes for the coolest villain in Star Wars.

22. Boba Fett

Movie: Star Wars
Year: 1980
Actor: Peter Bulloch

Why: As a kid obsessed with Star Wars, Boba Fett was always my favorite character. He is a bounty hunter, who captures and encases Han Solo in carbonite. The coolest thing about Boba Fett is his arsenal of weapons. He is fully equipped with a jet pack, rocket launcher, blast rifle, disrupter pistol, remote explosives, fiber chord, and a missile attached to his jet pack.

Key Line: "When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"
