But for now, fans don't have to worry about the ship being officially renamed. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if 'The Book of Boba Fett' offers up a new name for Slave I or provides some kind of significant reason for the name of the ship. On top of that, the official 'Star Wars'В databank still lists the name of the ship as Slave I, though the URL refers to it as 'Boba Fett's Starship.' So it would appear that the ship hasn't been renamed. So referring to Boba Fett's ship as Firespray would be akin to referring to the Millennium Falcon by the name Corellian YT-1300F Light Freighter. The reason many assumed that 'Firespray' was the new name for Boba Fett's ship is because all the other bounty hunters have the official names for their ships listed rather than the class of the ship in question. Perhaps we'll learn more about the ship's history in the upcoming spin-off 'The Book of Boba Fett,' coming to Disney+ later this year.

We've yet to learn what happened to the Slave I during the time that Boba Fett was out of commission, but the bounty hunter was clearly able to retrieve it before meeting up with fellow bounty hunter Fennec Shand in the first season of 'The Mandalorian,'В and then crossing paths with Din Djarin in the second season of the 'Star Wars' series on Disney+. During a fight in the middle of the GreatВ Pit of Carkoon, Boba Fett's jetpack was ignited accidentally by Han Solo, who banged into it with a staff, launching him into the mouth of a sarlacc at the center of the pit.

However, as we've recently learned in the 'Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters' comic book series, the delivery got sidetracked for a time.ДЄfter Boba Fett finally delivered Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt, he got caught up in a battle with Luke Skywalker and his Rebel Alliance friends. After collecting Han Solo from Cloud City, where he was frozen in carbonite, Boba Fett used Slave I to deliver the smuggler as a prize to the gangster Jabba the Hutt. Much later, Boba Fett used the ship to track down Han Solo in 'The Empire Strikes Back,' after being hired for the bounty by Darth Vader.

When Jango Fett was killed by Jedi Master Mace Windu during a massive battle on Geonosis in 'Attack of the Clones,' the ship became Boba Fett's, who added modifications of his own over the years. The cockpit features a unique deck situated on a gyro system, allowing the occupants to stay upright no matter what position the ship is in, which is helpful since the ship flies standing upright but has to rotate onto its back in order to land. Jango Fett outfitted the Slave I with upgraded laser cannons, projectile launchers, and seismic charges. Whatever the reason might be, it's never been officially explained. But then again, in 'Star Wars Legends,' when Boba Fett got new ships, they took on the names Slave II and Slave III, so it could easily have a different meaning. So one could assume that they were named and numbered as Slave I through Slave VI. He named the ship Slave I, for no clear reason, though perhaps it's a reference to the fact that, in 'Star Wars Legends,' there were only six of these Firespray ships in the entire galaxy, and they were all used on Oovo IV. As for Jango Fett's ship, it's aВ a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft that was stolen during a job he was completing on the prison moon ofВ Oovo IV.
