Ever wondered how Slave I, the ship owned by Jango Fett and later his clone son Boba, came into their possession? The answer lies in 2002's criminally underrated Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.

The player spends the game as Jango Fett himself, and in the level "Oovo IV Uprising," players finally get to see how Slave I came to pass.

Up until this point, Jango is seen flying his old ship, the Jaster's Legacy, but during his infiltration of asteroid prison Oovo IV, the ship is damaged beyond repair by a Firespray-31-class prototype patrol ship.

The level concludes with Jango commandeering one of these ships himself from the nearby hangar, before destroying the hangar and blasting off into space.

Though technically speaking the game is no longer canon following Disney's 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm, there isn't really anything in mainstream Star Wars lore that egregiously contradicts it, so there's no real harm in taking it as gospel.
