He did in a deleted scene from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which played at Star Wars Celebration Japan.
We’ve seen Boba Fett show down with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, as well as team up with Darth Vader and The Mandalorian. But did you ever think you’d see him fight Vader before he was Vader? That happened in a scene originally made for, but never aired on, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was played this week at Star Wars Celebration Japan.
During the 20th anniversary animation panel (which included that reveal of the new Darth Maul show and more) Clone Wars co-creator turned Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni unearthed the footage, which was set to air in a run of episodes that would’ve featured Cad Bane training Boba Fett. The idea, according to Filoni, was that Jango Fett was Boba’s “good” father but, after he died, Cad became his “bad” father.
