If Jango had survived would Darth Sidious/ the Emperor have given him control over the clone army after he came to power, or would Anikin/Vader still be the chosen one of the Empire?

Exactly.
You're all assuming Jango would have survived the Clone Wars and the subsequent persecution of those associated with the CIS
Darth Vader would stiil be himself cuz Palpatine was watching even before the battle of Geonosis. And I don't think Jango would become leader of the clone army cuz he'd just turn the job down.

Yes quite right. You know, I would've preferred Jango be killed during the Clone Wars, after the Battle of Geonosis, either by Mace or by some really good clones or something. If a whiny kid like Anakin killed Jango that would be so shameful to Jango. Only someone bad@$$ like Mace Windu/Samuel L. Jackson could take down Fett.
I don't think it was ever Sidious's goal to let Jango surivive. I mean, for what reason should Jango be important ot Sidious? Jango was nothing more than a pawn to him, just like Darth Maul and Count Dooku. Jango had served his purpose as the clone source but failed in assassinating Senator Amidala. If Mace hadn't killed Jango, maybe Count Dooku would have been given the task later He had Anakin slaughter the members of of Trade Federation, Jango was really no different from them in Sidious's self-centered mind.

Yes! My thoughts exactly. In addition, if Anakin had been tasked with killing Jango, he probably would have killed young Boba, as well; eliminating our favorite character and kind of ruining the whole series for all of us. Also, if Jango was still around, how would Boba have risen to take his place while still maintaining a strong relationship with Jango? He couldn't dishonor his father by leaving him to wither away in old age, couldn't possibly kill him and maintain his sense of honor, and it wouldn't make sense for him to just leave. Jango had to go to make way for Boba to become the man he did.

Oh so you're saying Anakin could kill Jango? Maybe the one from Episode 3 stands a chance, but the whiny padawan from Episode 2? Yeah right, even Obi Wan only landed a few blows.
The only way you could really kill Jango after Geonosis would be to have him get killed by blowing up his ship or having him involved in some sort of planetary-scale disaster because after Geonosis, it'd be likely he'd take Boba out on his trial and make him a full Mando warrior and so now you'd have to fight Boba AND Jango together, and not even Anakin and Obi-Wan together could take them down.
Yes they could Boba was only around 12 he woudnt have been able to beat either of them.
I think, therfore i am I destroy, therfore i endure - IG-88 tales of the bounty hunters
But he was able to beat Mace Windu to a draw at that age
Windu would have killed him in the end.

Possibly, but if Boba alone can fight Windu to a stand-still, Boba and Jango would probably be able to kill him easily
But he was able to beat Mace Windu to a draw at that age
Actually, Mace commpletely beat Boba, barely trying. Boba did not even land a single hit, I believe. Mace was about to kill Boba, but the Emperor intervined. Boba was wearing his armor, and also had a number of weapons.

Actually, I think Boba landed a punch or two....
Even so only adult Boba could beat Mace.

Jango could've beat him too, or at least lived, if it wasn't for that stupid reek $#!t that attacked him.
I think Jango would lose against Mace Mace is one of the most powerful Jedi ever.

He may lose, but he could've flown away.....
Has anyone ever wondered WHY Mace just killed Jango, after disabling the jetpack, watching him get trampled by the reek, and slicing his blaster in half?? Is it just me, or were the Jedi supposed to be peacekeepers? Mace could've just cut his hand off. Did he really have to kill him?
Yeah, that's a whole 'nother discussion in it self...
I think Jango would've ended up fighting Vader on Mustafar when Vader went there to kill the CIS leaders.

Yes! I thought i was the only person wondering that. If he had cut off his hand he could've been arrested.

OO, what would've happened then?
Armageddon! Lol
If that were to happen, I think that Jango would have been killed in a matter of seconds.
Wouldn't suprise me but he may've been lucky.
Boba fought Vader to a standstill after all.
Well, technicelly, Boba beat Vader. However, Boba is unfathomably better than Jango.
I like them both a smuch,lol.
If you keep saying that Jango would die when Lord Vader went to Mustafar, you're wrong. Jango is just a bounty hunter. Or, as he puts it, "I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe". Bounty Hunters are not affiliated with any side, the only side they are affiliated with is a guild they might join.
hey u guys make a poll and some how make them bring a jango fett series of memorabilya including his lego bounty hunter slave 1
please make these ppl at the site bring a jango fett sereis of memorabilya including his lego set
The CIS might have kept Jango on up until Mustafar which is likely.
He proved himself to be VERY useful.

1. Do not post twice in a row.
2. Stay on topic.
3. There is a series of Jango memrobilia, including his Slave I.
I don't think Jango was ranked particularly high in Dooku's books. Besides Dooku was killed by Anakin, do you really think Jango would have been anything more than a pawn?
It was like thousands of voices cried out for a sequel and were suddenly silenced...
Of course he was a pawn.
he just wants money, that's all. think like a fett...

Nicely stated.

You are forgetting one crucial detail, and it is: If Sidious sent Dooku to eliminate Jango, then Jango would kick Dooku's fraggin butt!
SF
I don't think Jango really figured in to Sidious's plans after been used as the template. After all he would prove no threat to sidious and could even prove useful in the future, wether it is hunting down jedi or what ever.
The only way you could really kill Jango after Geonosis would be to have him get killed by blowing up his ship or having him involved in some sort of planetary-scale disaster because after Geonosis, it'd be likely he'd take Boba out on his trial and make him a full Mando warrior and so now you'd have to fight Boba AND Jango together, and not even Anakin and Obi-Wan together could take them down.
Anakin and Obi-Wan would still beat the crap out of the Fett's.

Not the Anakin from Episode 2
If Jango survived, Boba would be an even better Bounty Hunter because, Jango would have taught him even more! :cool:
That's an optimistic way of looking at it. It could just as likely be that Boba would be less hardened and NOT as great a bounty hunter.
Jango could have proved himself useful to the Empire if he had survived the Battle of Geonosis, so Sidious might have allowed him to live. Sidious did have his own skills, and if he did want Jango dead, and Jengo bested those sent for him there is no telling if Sidious would have gone after Jango himself. On the down side for Jango's chances, he did know things almost no one else knew. Sometimes knowledge is not a good thing. I also think Jango knew, by the time of the Battle of Geonosis, that he would not be around all that long. That is why he created a book in which to guide Boba to greatness.
"Suggestion: Electrocution works well. Evisceration and Decapitation are also effective, or um, so I've heard."

I DOUBT that VERY much. He would Have had More Teaching. And would not have lost that 500,000 credits to Nuri. :P

Poverty or the desire for wealth can be a powerful motovating factor.

It obvious that if he survived then they would make a hilarous sitcom about Boba and Jango bounty hunting together.
I think that it would have made Boba less bad@$$ ... you get pretty pissed at people when they chop your dads head off in front of you.
