Talk:Jango Fett

Army of the republic

The article says that Jango was affiliated with the Republic. Should this be considered true since he was in fact recruited by Darth Tyrannus? Just a thought. 70.105.68.30 00:03, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

RE: Perhaps they meant he was affiliated with the Republic by his genetic link to the clone troops.

He might be (directly or indirectly) affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic because of his clones (Tyranus' plan) but not definitely on the Galactic Republic. -- Kapuso 17:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Right, he's a free man, willing to go with the highest bidder. He couldn't give a nerf's sheb about who he's affiliated with, as long as they're paying him good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.216.169.139 (talk) 16:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Django

Isn't it possible that Lucas named him Jango as homage to the spaghetti western Django. Note that in Attack of Clones Jango had twin pistols similar to cowboys in westerns. Also the trailer to the game(or was it the teaser) had Jango act like a cowboy in terms of style of firing his weapon. Besides the whole bounty hunter thing is more of a spaghetti western thing. Thats why I believe it more likely that he was based on Django from the movie Django.

First Mandalorian War...?

I was just wondering where the information about the First Mandalorian War came from? Is it from an Expanded Universe work (book, game, etc.) or is it from the Expand Universe databank on starwars.com?

It came from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.--Kross^Talk 07:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt that's the war being mentioned in this article- unless you're suggesting that Jango is roughly 4,000 years old... ;) --DarthBinky 03:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The mission with the idol

I noticed a little discrepancy while making some edits to this article today.

Under Ascension as a bounty hunter, it states that Jango took a mission to take some idol and he was aided by Zam Wesell; it also strangely mentions something about him not wanting to "lose Boba".

Then, later in the article it talks about Jango taking the "kill my apprentice" mission from Dooku, which he successfully completes- along with his "new ally" Zam. Then he is asked to be the template for the clones, which he also accepts, with his "son" Boba as part of the payment.

It seems to me that the chronology here is messed up. If he was given Boba as payment after the Vosa mission, then either A: the idol mission came after the Vosa mission, or B: someone made a mistake in the description under Ascension.

I'm not a fan of the EU stuff, so I am not at all familiar with that particular storyline (either Vosa or the idol one). Could someone please clarify it?

Issue

"Boba would go on to lead an adventurous life of a bounty hunter, later going and seeking revenge on Mace Windu, overpowering him but was stopped by Emperor Palpatine."

This comment either needs a source document or should be removed. Considering Boba was a child when Jango was killed, and only three years had passed since Jango's death in Attack of the Clones and Windu's death in Revenge of the Sith, this event seems highly improbable to have occured.ELH50 I am the one who stated this fact and Whoever said this obviously hasnt read the boba fett book series by scholastic

Huh?

This article may fail to make a clear distinction between fact and fiction.

Who believes there is any fact to Star Wars? It's a great fictional story. Please respond. Don^MEGĂ|60645 13:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Jango vs. Windu

I have trouble believing that a fully-armed Jango "would have had no trouble defeating Windu." Windu defeated Darth Sidious in Episode 3, and certainly Sidious was many times more powerful than Jango Fett (yes, there were two other Jedi originally present, but given their quick demise Windu gained no advantage from the 3-on-1 scenario). I have trouble believing that the Boba/Jango characters, as originally portrayed (Boba) in Episodes 5 and 6, could defeat ANY Jedi in battle. That Jango was able to kill Jedi in Episode 2 seemed a bizarre decision to me; even so, it seemed that Windu was intended to be too powerful for Jango. After all, Boba was easily vanquished in Episode 6. Ron Perkins 15:32, 28 February 2007

(UTC)Jango Fett killed Komari Vosa, Dooku's old padawan, Vosa wielded 2 lightsabers and also was a sith, she would have easily killed windu. Jango was given a cheap death in the film.

(begin comment) Oookay. Yes, Jango defeated Vosa (Dooku actually killed her with a Force choke, but only after Jango had beaten her). No, there's no reason to believe Vosa could have killed Windu. However, Jango at full strength was able to stalemate Obi-Wan, who was able to defeat Anakin, who murdered Dooku, who stalemated freaking YODA.

Windu defeating Sidious is debatable -- there's a lot of speculation that Sidious knew Anakin was coming and threw the fight, and there's evidence to support that. Still, even if Windu really did beat Sidious, the fact is that a full-strength Jango gave Obi-Wan fits and very nearly killed him, and considering Obi-Wan flat-out OWNED Dooku's killer, that counts for a LOT.

It gets worse if you take lightsaber forms into account. Obi-Wan was the master of Form III: Soresu, a lightsaber form developed SPECIFICALLY to counter blaster fire. So, in other words, not only did Jango give serious grief to the man who defeated Dooku's killer, but that man happened to be a master of the style SPECIFICALLY designed to defeat Jango's primary attack. And Jango still nearly killed him.

The fact that Windu was able to kill Jango when Jango's equipment was all screwed up is meaningless. Give Windu a broken lightsaber instead against Jango with all of his equipment working fine, and the outcome would have without question been the same in reverse: an effortless kill for Jango.

So yes, Jango WAS given a cheap death in the film. Could a full-strength Jango have won? Well, who knows? Windu and jedi fans will say "no." Jango and bounty hunter fans will say "yes." Others will vary. But it's all speculation. (end comment)

I've read (I believe on Wookiepedia) that Jango's fighting style was based on evasion and quick movements. He used his jetpack to this effect. His loss of it on Geonosis was a huge factor in his loss to Windu (that and being run over by a rabid rhino on steroids (reek), and having one pistol with no other weapons at his disposal).

Boba was easily vanquished? How does getting side swiped by a blinded Han Solo, while Boba, with his back turned I might add, was putting the Sights on Skywalkers head considered easily vanquished; I call that Extremely lucky on Solo's part, and Skywalkers part. 76.48.54.20 03:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Jango and Boba Heights

Jango's height is listed at 1.83, where as Boba's is listed at 1.70. If they're clones, why is Boba shorter, especially given that Boba probably had better nutrition if Jango was grooming him to be his perfect successor? Samois98 07:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Jango's Corpse?

When Jango Fett was killed in Episode II, his armour was apparently empty, like Obi-wan Kenobi's cloak when he was struck down in Episode IV. What was the significance of that? And how can his 'body' be Geonosis? Peter Grey 03:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Born Into the Mandalorians?

It states that in the opening sentence of his fictional biography, but then states right after they took him in after he was orphaned. These two statements are contradictory - and the second one is the right one based upon the comic about him. ... I'll make a change to fix this. 216.191.40.149 18:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Trivia

I disagree with the recent trivia deletion, it may be trivial, but its a trivia section i hesitate to change it back because i dont want to spark an edit war --Chocrates 07:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
