"The Lost Child" is the second episode of The Untold Stories of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is based off four unfinished episodes of before the series's cancellation.

Official description

After the death of his father, Jango Fett, Boba Fett is looking for a new bounty hunter mentor, and Cad Bane offers to take that role because of his close kinship with his father, while also hiding the fact that he and Jango have some unfinished business.

Plot Summary

The Lost Child 
Open freedom in the criminal underworld. As the Jedi Forces and the Republic are occupied with the Clone Wars, this causes more free reign of criminal activity throughout the galaxy. With Bounty Hunters taking jobs from the highest bitter.

Boba Fett, the cloned son of one of the most powerful bounty hunters in the galaxy, Jango Fett, is slowly starting to get a name for himself in the Outer Rim territories, with never a failed contract to his name.

But without his father to guide him, Boba relies on getting his teachings from other bounty hunters, hoping that one could be the mentor he's looking for…

The Lost Child

Over at Mos Espa on Tatooine, Watto and his shop were being ransaked by a gang of pirates until Boba Fett shows up and scares the pirates off and eventually chasing them down and killing them. He returns to Chalmun's Spaceport Catina at Mos Eisley and meets with his gang, the Krayt's Claw, containing Bossk, Latts Razzi, Embo and his companion Marrok, Dengar, and C-21 Highsinger, where his team is noticing he is quickly living up to his father's name, almost to the point where he doesn't need his team anymore. Boba is feels that there is more to learn about bounty hunting, and even though Boba is grateful to Bossk for watching over him since his father's passing, he feels he needs a mentor with more experience, that of which Bossk takes offense by, which leads to a heated argument between the two. Cad Bane evesdrops on the conversation at a nearby booth before taking off mischievously.

When Boba walks out of the catina and heads to the Bounty Hunter Hang Out, he meets with Cad Bane, along with Todo 360, who explained that he overheard his group's conversation and offered to be a mentor to Boba because of his close kinship with his father, in which Boba gladly accepts. Meanwhile, at a Ronto farm in the middle of the Dune Sea, it gets attacked by a group of Tusken Raiders, in which they kill man and woman of the farm and capture their daughter before burning the farm. This leads to a bounty going out in which Boba and Bane take.

Using Bane's new ship, the Justifier, they travel to the old walker outside of Mos Eisley where they meet up with the farmer's wife's devastated brother, a miner named Stim, along with his droid Ruckle, and Stim explains the situation to Bane and Boba, with the capture of his niece, Illy Kiin, leaving only her Doll behind, something she never parts with. While Boba showed concern of the child Bane immeditaly negoshiated the price of the Bounty, which led to 30,000 Credits. Boba showed curiousness to Bane's methods, and Bane explains that the price is the most important part of any bounty, and to be assertive to the price if they have to for anyone who's desperate for the bounty to get done.

Bane, Boba, and Todo head out into the Dune Sea and wait for Tusken Raiders to ambush them, and Bane plans to find the Tusken Raider camp by having Boba get captured with a homing beacon so Bane and Todo can search for him. The Tusken Raiders attack, and Boba and Bane put up a fight before Boba let one of the raiders knock him out and capture him. Bane uses his Flamethrower to make the raiders flee before activating the tracker.

Boba starts getting a flashback to his younger days on Kamino with his father, who teaches him some lessons on bounty hunting, teaching him to remember Currency being important, but only the most important thing is doing what he thinks is right and to set his principles straight, because without principles, he won't have a purpose, and he would just be just some hired gun. Boba acknowledges his dad before the flashback ends and Boba wakes up tied up in a Tusken Raider hut with Illy Kiin, who was curiously happy. A child Tusken Raider comes in and offers food to Illy. Boba was suspicious, but Illy explains that the child raider was her friend and that they're just like them; they're people, just very untrustworthy towards outsiders, especially ones wielding glowing blue dead-spears. Boba and Illy get taken to the Shaman of the village who explains the raiders attacked their home because her dad hunts their Bantha for a living. She believes her parents survived though, but Boba didn't have the heart to tell her. The shaman, however, told her the truth, and that made Illy very sad and angry. The raider child try to cheer up Illy, but the shaman ordered him to stay away from the prisoners as he orders his guards to sacrifice them.

Bane eventually tracks Boba to the village and starts attacking. Boba and Illy plot an escape with the help of the child raider, which leads to Boba killing the shaman. Boba goes outside and notices Bane - Boba tries to reason with Bane to stop the attack, but Bane doesn't listen, he just orders Boba to either help or to get Illy out of there. Boba decides to comply and helped Bane kill most of the villagers, but when Boba notices some cowering children raiders, he shows mercy to them and orders them to run.

As Bane burns the rest of the village, he meets with Boba and Illy, and he applauds Boba for a job well done. Knowing how upset Boba looks, Bane tries to cheer him up by using the excuse that they are savages who murder innocent people and that they'd probably be paid a bonus for wiping out one of their villages, in which Boba acknowledges. Returning to Mos Eisley, Illy reunites with her Uncle Stim, and Stim pays Boba and Bane their bounty. As Bane walks off, Illy tells Boba that he's a better man than Bane and shouldn't listen to him, but Boba mentions that Bane is his mentor, and that he needs him if he wishes to be as successful as his dad was, and would fear what would happen to him if he were disobedient to him.

A Spicy Offering

As Boba and Bane return to the catina, they get welcomed by Boba's team, the Krayt's Claw, as they heard of the job the two just pulled, and Bossk bitterly acknowledged Bane of being Boba's new mentor. Before their argument could heat up, Latts Razzi found a new job from the Hutt Cartel worth a million credits - a job that requires ten bounty hunters, and Dengar realizes they'll have 100,000 credits each. They all accept the job, even Bane, who got tired of working for the Hutts. However, Bossk claims there was only seven of them (and he doesn't count Bossk, which offends Embo), but Bane knows of a eighth member they can hire before arriving at Jabba's Palace.

The group heads over to Mos Eisley Minions Wreck and Wares, where they meet Aurra Sing who was buying some parts from a Toong merchant in the most intimidating and seductive ways. Boba argues with Bane, claiming he doesn't want to work with her again after she betrayed him. Bane encourages him to get over it and to think about his cut of the reward if that would help him feel better. He suggests Aurra because she helped him during the Senate hostage crisis so she is one of the best. To fill the missing two members, Embo gets his old team, Sugi and Seripas offer to join. Latts wonders why Embo left the team, and Sugi explains that Embo believes there's not enough action with them.

With Bane assuming control of the group, the ten of them head to Jabba's palace where they get the job instructions from Jabba the Hutt himself, explaining that the holodiary containing the incrimidating evidence against the Grand Hutt Council (which Jabba was using to keep himself higher-up) has been stolen, and Jabba promises a million credit reward for both the holodiary's return and the thief eliminated, with confirmed proof of their death; if not, their bounty cuts down to half, and the same goes with if the holodiary is destroyed. Jabba also informs them of an informant who knows the identity of the thief, and will share for 10 kilos of Spice that the bounty hunters would have to pick up on Kessel that have already been paid for and just need to be picked up.

Taking the Justifer and the Halo to Kessel, the bounty hunters land at Kessel Castle where they check in with Kinash Lock. He explains that the spice is not yet ready, but he offers the bounty hunters a quick job to take out a clan of Mandalorian bandits who attacked the spice mines, seizing operations, and offers the bounty hunters to double their spice supply if they take them out, in which the bounty hunters gladly accept. The bounty hunters fly down to the spice mines where they see the Slavery - Sugi mentions how much it troubles her to see the poor people working against their will, in which Boba admits he feels pity for them too. Sugi admits she is happy to meet another bounty hunter with moral principles, and Boba gives his dad credit for teaching him that.

After landing their ships at the mines, the bounty hunters split up and searched the area for the Mandalorians. Bossk, Dengar, Sugi, and Highsinger go one way, Embo, Serpias, Marrok, and Latts go another way, and Boba, Bane, and Aurra go their own way, and Todo stays with the ship. Boba and Aurra bicker at eachother the whole time as Bane tries to get them both to stay quiet - they then get ambushed by a group of Mandalorians, in which they hold their own by. Aurra compliments Boba and Bane's work, but Boba didn't want to hear any of it, in which Bane approves of his attitude. Just then, a detonator collapses a tunnel, separating Boba from Bane and Aurra. Boba eventually gets surrounded and take to the Mandalorian leader, Vonon Ven, leader of the Ven Clan. Boba and Aurra regroup with the others, mentioning that Boba has been captured. Sugi, Latts, and Serpias want to go rescue him, but the rest of the hunters want to complete the mission first, and with Bane having the final say, he believes they took Boba to their leader, so they'll be doing both anyway.

Boba shows bravery towards Vonon and warns him about his team of bounty hunters who are amongst the best in the galaxy, but Ven explains to Boba the reason they're there, to free the slaves and stopping the production of Spice, making Darth Maul's criminal empire weaken after he took over Mandalore. Boba questions him freeing the slaves for selfish purposes, but Ven explains that even though his intensions are selfish, it still frees the slaves and brings down the Spice operations, thus restoring honor to his clan's name, and even says that's what Boba's father would want. Ven explains that he knew his father in Mandalorian training, but when Jango disagreed with the clan leader's methods of slaughering the families of their enemies, he killed him and took his armor, thus revoking his Mandalorian heritage, but Ven knew Jango's methods were truly honorable.

Before Boba could respond, Bane the rest of the hunters regroup and attack all the Mandalorians in their path until they got to Boba. Ven tells Boba to make a choice before fleeing with some of his guards. Boba tries to convince his hunters to stop, explaining the Mandalorian's intentions, but Bane reminds him that the Mandalorians aren't paying them. Each of the bounty hunters don't hold back as they take down the Mandalorians, each showing off their unique fighting abilities. As the rest of the hunters are fighting the rest of the Mandalorians, Boba comes face to face with Ven and fights him. After Boba wins the fight, Ven admits that Boba earned his respect and has learned alot from his father. Aurra orders Boba to kill him, but Boba hesitates, and before Aurra could finish the job for him, Bane encourages her to let Boba do it or that he would never be the bounty hunter he is destined to be. Following Bane's intimidation, Boba finishes the job.

Boba wins compliments from both Bane and Aurra, but Sugi notices Boba's sorrow and realizes he's different from other bounty hunters, he's a bounty hunter with heart and not just a hired gun, and has earned her respect and even says that he'd make his father proud. Returning to the castle, Kinash gives the bounty hunters the spice shipment they ordered and the bonus for eliminating the Mandalorian threat and saving their business. As the bounty hunters decided to split the spice onto each ship in case one fails to deliver it, Boba shows up wearing Ven's Mandalorian armor, thinking he earned it, which impresses especially Bossk because he claimed a trophy from his prey.

To make sure Sugi's group doesn't betray the rest of them, Bane gets Aurra, Embo, and Boba to go on Sugi's ship to watch over them, in which Sugi is glad to have Boba along for the ride. The groups separate onto their respectable ships and take off.

A Matter of Principles

As the Justifier and the Halo travel through Hyperspace together, Boba sits in the cockpit with Sugi and talk about what being a bounty hunter is all about. While Boba says that it's about the currency, Sugi says even though the currency is important, it is also important to do what they believe is right, which makes Boba remember his father's words. She and Serpias believe being a bounty hunter is more than just a job, it's a chance to do some good. Aurra believes otherwise and laughs at them for it, and Embo just likes the action.

Both ships get out of hyperspace and arrive at Florrum, but they immeditaly get attacked by pirate ships. Aurra contacts Hondo Ohnaka, ordering him to stop firing because they have his spice, in which Hondo accepts but wished they called sooner to tell him they were coming. Unfortunately, both the Halo and Justifer took alot of damage and they both end up crashing on Florrum's surface close to Hondo's scrapyard. All the crewmembers of both ships arrive unharmed as well as the spices. Sugi says the Halo could be repaired, but Bane says the Justifier is done for. Hondo welcomes all the bounty hunters and they, with annoyance, gave Hondo all the spice - the ordered spice for information, and the extra for a new ship. Hondo allows the team to check out his selection to pick out what they like (except for the Fortune and Glory, he likes that one best). Boba eventually finds his father's old Slave I, which Boba says he already inherits, but Hondo keeps the extra spice shipment anyway for repair costs.

Hondo tells Bane and Aurra the identity of the target, and when Boba got curious, Bane tells him he'll tell him when they get there, which aggravates Boba. Bane just tells him that the target is at Stewjon. Once the Halo is repaired, they and Slave I fly off to Stewjon. They land their ships right outside a mining town known as Carcob Mining Colony. When Boba asks again who they're hunting for, Bane reveals that they're looking for Stim, the same person who made the bounty to save Illy. Boba approves of hunting him down if he was a threat to Hutt security and wonders why Bane didn't trust him before - Bane tells him not to worry on the 'why', only focus on the 'where' and 'how'. The bounty hunters start going door to door at the colony and started threatening the locals what he would do if they don't tell him where Stim is. Boba starts to feel concerned about Bane's methods, and Sugi stands up to Bane about his methods, but with Aurra aiming her blaster at Sugi's head, Bane reminds her that he's the leader, and gives her the choice to either obey him if she wants to get paid, or she could stand up for the colonists and die, so Sugi backs down.

Just then, the bounty hunter crew come face to face with Tobias Beckett and his crew, Val and Rio Durant, and seven other hired guns who came for the same purpose in hunting down Stim and the Hutt data, only this time being hired by Crimson Dawn to claim it to use against the Hutts. After executing one of the colonists, Beckett said the only ones who knew where Stim is are dead, so Beckett gets his hired guns to fight Bane's crew as Beckett, Val, and Rio run off. Bane's crew defeat the hired guns, but find out Beckett's crew have gotten away. As Bane and some of the crew think of a plan, Sugi and Serpias talk to Boba in private, telling him that they plan a insurrection against Bane because of his idea of killing innocent people to getting the job done, in which Boba agrees, but informs them that Bane is more experienced and is more in favor of the other bounty hunters, plus he's his mentor. Sugi asks him if he's really the mentor he wants, in which Boba couldn't find the answer to it. Sugi has a plan to stop Bane but it includes playing out his plan first, and Boba only telling the hunters he trusts to join them. Todo spies on the conversation and records it.

Bane tells the group his plan of getting Stim out of hiding, using the colonists as hostages having him come to them, and hoping Beckett and his crew doesn't find them first. Bane wonders if any of the crew has any questions, but nobody says anything, including Boba. So each of the bounty hunters start gathering the colonists and making them stand in a row against a wall, and Boba tries to convince Bossk, Latts, Embo, Dengar, and Highsinger to join his insurrection against Bane, promising a higher cut with Bane and Aurra out of the way. Aurra orders the colonists to contact Stim or risk slaughter - one of the colonists do so. Aurra adds to have Stim bring Illy too, in which Boba gets surprised to hear. Aurra tells him it's for insurance purposes.

Eventually, Stim shows up, but alone without Illy, in which makes Aurra angry as she aims her blasters at the hostages - that's when Sugi gives the signal, and Boba and his crew double-cross Aurra, something that impressess her. However, the tables get turned when Bane shows up with Todo and a reprogrammed Highsinger. Bane then promises the crew a much higher cut to his crew if they take Boba, Sugi, and Serpias out of the equation. That's when the bounty hunters all turn on them, causing them all to flee. As they run, Aurra tells them to let them go, and threatens Stim to bring Illy or else they'll execute more colonists, right before killing another one.

Boba, Sugi, and Serpias flee into a mine shaft and seal the entrance. Stim feels like he has no choice but to give Illy to the bounty hunters, or that'll be the death of the entire colony. Boba wonders why they want her if Stim is the one that has the Hutt information, but Stim corrects him, saying it is Illy who has it, not him. The bounty hunters are after her.

The Million Credit Bounty

Navigating through the caves led by Stim, Boba, Sugi, and Seripas follow to get to where Stim hid Illy. Stim explains that Illy's father used to work for the Hutt cartel, but wanted out, so working undercover with the Galactic Republic, he thought he could bring down the Hutt operation and have his charges dropped, but Jabba sent goons to plant a Shaman artifact inside the farm, causing the Tusken Raiders to invade and burn down the farm, and took Illy hostage, but not before her parents had her study the holodairy, because she's smart for her age. He continued that he hired Boba and Bane to get her back and finish what her parents started, but not without laying low until the heat dies down, but all that changed when Boba and Bane's crew attacked. Remembering that Boba and his crew still had to finish their job, and if they wouldn't, the Hutt cartel would go after them, so Stim offers to give Boba the holodiary once they find Illy, and he and Illy would fake their deaths, because he knows that messing with the Hutts is a bad idea, and he just wants him and his niece to survive and live their lives normally, in which Boba, Sugi, and Seripas all accept the deal.

Back at the colony, after Aurra executes another hostage, Bane gets a new plan to hunt down Boba and the others in the caves - Aurra, Dengar, and Latts would find them, and follow them to Illy while Bane, Bossk, Embo, and Highsinger take the hostages inside a house and burn it after a certain amount of time. Aurra, Latts, and Dengar comply (with the latter two having second thoughts), and the three head into the mines.

As Boba's group navigates through the mines, they meet up with Beckett's crew, but they sneak around without getting their attention, and eventually, they make it to the hideout where Illy hides along with Stim's droid, Ruckle. Boba, Sugi, and Seripas talk to Illy, and Illy mentions she wants to start a Save the Raiders campaign to help the poor misunderstood Tusken Raiders, and help the children Boba and Bane orphaned. Boba knows the raiders didn't deserve it, explained it was the Hutts that made them attack the farm, but Bane wouldn't care and he's no longer friends with him. Illy says she knew Boba was a good person.

Just then, a Smoke bomb was thrown into the their hiding spot, so Sugi ordered everyone to run as Aurra, Dengar, and Latts started to gain up to them. Ruckle draws their fire while they ran, but he ended up getting destroyed. While running through the caves, at the other end, they find Beckett and his crew. Ending up surrounded, Sugi throws her own smoke bomb on the ground as they jump down to the mine cart tracks, and Beckett's crew meets up with Aurra's crew and they start fighting.

While running towards some mine carts, Latts tangles Boba with her grappling boa and he tells Sugi, Seripas, Stim, and Illy to go on without him and that he'll catch up. He starts fighting one on one with Latts as Aurra and Degar fight Beckett and his team. Boba tries to reason with Latts, and while Latts cares more about the highest bitter, Boba explains to her about principles. Before Latts could respond, Aurra destroys some foundations, causing the cave to collaspe, breaking the tracks Boba and Latts were on as they fell. With Beckett and his crew having the higher ground, Beckett and Val push Aurra and Dengar off the ledge. While falling into the abyss, Boba activated his Z-6 jetpack and saves Latts, while Latts saves Dengar with her grappling boa, and Aurra falls to her death.

When the three of them reached to solid ground, they both run out of the mining tunnels as it collasped, trapping Beckett, Val, and Rio inside. Latts and Dengar thank Boba for saving them, and they decide to rejoin him in the fight against Bane. Boba meets up with Sugi and the others, and Boba tells them to get Stim and Illy offworld while Boba and his team decides to go after Bane and rescue the colonists. Before they could do that, they get ambushed by Embo, Bossk, Marrok, Todo, and Highsinger. Seripas, Sugi, and Stim run to the Halo while Latts, Dengar, and Illy run to Slave I, while Boba goes after Bane.

Latts, Illy, and Dengar escape to Slave I, but not without Marrok attacking Dengar's face and body, injuring him, but Latts saves him and takes him on the ship before flying off and escape. Bossk shoots down the Halo while Highsinger and Todo checks the wreckage for survivors, and while Embo and Sugi were fighting, Embo ends up killing Sugi, much to his dismay due to their history.

Boba meets up with Bane at the colony, threatening him to let the people go, but not without showing him that Higher and Todo have captured Stim and Seripas, and Bossk and Embo incapacitate Boba from behind, but not without showing Boba Sugi's weapons to hint her death. Bossk decides to let Boba have a shot, so Boba and Bane engage in a western-style duel, with the both of them ending up shooting eachother at the same time. Bane lays dead on the ground, but Boba was saved by his Mandalorian helmet, leaving only a large dent.

When Boba stands up and puts his helmet back on, Embo, Bossk, Highsinger, and Todo decide to surrender to Boba, and allow the colonists to be released. Latts returns with Slave I to assist Boba in cleaning up the mess while Dengar gets his face patched up. Embo and Seripas hold a funeral for Sugi, as Embo felt bad for choosing wealth over his friend. Stim, Illy, Todo 360, and Seripas decide to stay to help rebuild the colonist's home, with Seripas wanting to retire bounty hunting. They thank Boba for his help and decide to give him an offering to Jabba to confirm their death, but Boba decides that he had a better idea.

Returning to Jabba's palace on Tatooine, Boba enters the palace alone to give Jabba back the holodiary, and showed Jabba Bane's hat and blaster, saying that it was Bane who stole the holodiary so Jabba could make a desperate bounty and he would take full advantage of it, and offers the hat and blaster as proof of Bane's death. Jabba exits the palace and gives his crew all their cut of the 500,000 credits, plus a little extra for Dengar to pay for his recovery since he would be out of commission for a while, much to Embo's embarrassment. Boba claims that Jabba didn't buy his fib of Bane being responsible, so he paid half, but promises his crew for more opportunities, and allows them back. His crew explain that they feel lucky being a part of Boba's crew, because after Bane's death, Boba became the biggest bounty hunter in the galaxy.

But first, Boba travels back to Stewjon to give his other 500,000 credits that he hid from his team to Stim, Seripas, and Illy to help them rebuild the colony, and Illy could start her Save the Raiders campaign. He then returns to Slave I, and flies off, knowing his father would be proud of him.
