Why do u think jango just kept trying to shoot mace windu instead of just flying off?

Because he had no tactical mindset, probably freaked out, (which would never happen to Boba) and got killed for it.  Case-in-point, Jango's an idiot.

that seems logical i guess

that plus the Reek damaged Jango's jetpack. if u notice, right before he is be-headed, his jetpack shoots sparks out, as if he intended to escape in the nick of time.

The title could be clearer...

Jango was absolutly going to die, so he might aswell fire.

ever wish you would have dealt with a situation a little differently?...so does jango.

Jango just lost his head in a stressful situation. He should have thought through his choices more clearly and kept a strong head on his shoulders. He got ahead of himself and thought he could take Mace down quick instead of dealing with the situation correctly.

(All puns intended)

NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!  Listen here is why jango died: Lucas didn't want jango in EP3 and had to get rid of him and mace didn't do much yet in EP2 so Lucas had him kill jango.
Yes jango's jet pack wasn't working you can see (if you look close) that he trys to jet but it falters and his head gets knoct off.

THe real qustion should be "Why dosn't jango just flame mace INSTED of shooting at him!"
Which I have an answer for too: same as above + he used it once in EP2 allredy and no one likes to see something cool twice in a movie (just watch a action film and you'll see what I mean).

Case-in-point, Jango's an idiot... STOP picking on JANGO!!!!!!!
As I've said he's not all that bad and w/out Jango THERE IS NO BOBA!
(I don't cair if lucas made boba first)
oh and Boba did die a even more pathetic death I mean it's gotta hurt to be killed on accident by a blind smugler who was just your merchandice.

don't get me wrong I like boba better than jango but jango's no "Idiot" Yautja.

It was never proved that Boba died in the Sarlacc. It was just assumed that he died when he fell into it. We did not actually see him die. This is why he was able to escape in the extended universe books.

If Boba had been seen to have been killed (like Jango was) then it would not have mattered how much liked he was, he would not have been able to have come back for the books. The only times he would have been in the extended universe books would have been pre return of the Jedi.

As for the question, Jango carried on shooting at Mace because he did not realise his jetpack was dead. As it had been mentioned by Fett_II, you see him trying to get it to work shortly before he gets killed.

*Sigh*  Okay, first of all, you can't use behind the scenes explanations as an excuse.  We are supposed to talk about it as if it was real, or there's no point to it at all.  If you want to though, fine.  We'll blame Lucas.  He never should have introduced Jango in the first place.  I was fine with not knowing Boba's backstory.  No, I was more than fine.  It made his character much better.  Seeing episode II, and seeing Boba as an annoying kid, and a clone, a freaking clone!  What the hell George!  Why!?!  Why do that to your fans, who have been nothing but loyal?  Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, all the kids that went to see it and hadn't witnessed Boba's coolness in the originals, thought Jango was the man.  'Oh, look at the cool guy with the armor!  He's so  cool! We love Jango!'  What about Boba?  'Boba? You mean that dumb kid?' 
  See where I'm going with this?   
Jango completely stole the spotlight from Boba.  Now there is not one Fett to rule the bounty trade, but two.  And one of them should definitely not be there.
I'll let you figure out who.

Oh ok your one of "THOSE" I see why you're mad, but why lucas even made jango was to do what boba didn't do in the movies, which was anything.

First of all, you can't use behind the scenes explanations as an excuse....
...But this is why you hate jango and I say that if we are "supposed to talk about it as if it was real" then w/out jango there is no boba.

Devil Girl:

Yah And I'm going to wright a book about how it was oly a CLONE of jango and thats why he didn't jet or use his flame-thrower. What I'm saying is that Boba only lived is cu'z some guy at dark horse liked him and said "I think he should live and get out" I LIKE the fact that he got out and that he is just as cool but it's only cu'z someone wrote a book about it.

The Yautja:
I was fine with not knowing Boba's backstory.  No, I was more than fine.  It made his character much better.

You do know that if lucas didn't do it some other jerk would. I mean if you think that Lucas ruins Boba's past just look at what dark horse has done
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sintas_Vel
"When Ailyn was two years old, Fett walked out on the family, leaving Sintas to care for the child alone".
They make Boba a JERK!

I hope I don't sound to attacking but those are the facts.

Look I have no real problem with Jango as many people on this board do. But... Your reasoning here is very flawed Alo. I agree with Yautja that you can't use the old, "He had to die because..." excuse. Out of universe explanations make no sense here since we already take for granted that this stuff is "real". 

And Darkhorse wasn't the first one to pull boba from the Sarlacc. And why haven't any writers taken the initiative to bring back Jango? Maybe because he just doesn't live up to Boba's standards. And don't give me any of that "Boba would have to live up to Jango's standards" or "No Boba without Jango". The truth is that there is no Jango without Boba. But if you want to think in that regard, Jango didn't have to be anything more than a memory in the movies. He wasn't necessary to the plot and he didn't have to be there, He was only there because Boba was such a popular character.

Although now you may not believe it, it is true that I have nothing against Jango. I still hold that his armor looks cooler than Boba's. But it is completely possible that people can in fact aknowledge that Jango exists without liking him Alo. It is not necessary to like a character just because he is Boba's dad.

Ps. The Sintas reference probably wasn't the best of choices. Because 99% of people hate that whole story line and so you aren't really making a good case for why Jango was a good idea...

ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THats the point WE HATE IT and THEY HATE JANGO and if lucas didn't make boba's backround story someone like THAT Would have.

I'm not saying you HAVE to like jango just don't diss him all the time.

oh and yah his armor is cooler :)

That is the same with every fictional character. Someone decides whether they should live or die.

I was also happy that there was an opportunity for Boba to survive what happened to him in return of the Jedi.

LOL I am the one percent (Hehe I like being different) but I like the background story with Boba and him having a family. I am not impressed with him leaving his wife and small child but it is interesting to read and it adds another dimension. Boba has a legacy and someone to pass his skills onto. I am really looking forward to reading more about what Boba and Mirta are up to.

Fetterthanyou :And don't give me any of that "Boba would have to live up to Jango's standards" or "No Boba without Jango".

Ummm.... I thought we were saying that this is "real" and therefore... Boba-Jngo=0

His Jet pack was broke

And because we saw Jango die.  That cannot be disputed in any way shape or form.

Actually it can be as Alo said, it could be some stupid explanation like it was another clone or something. But yes, his death was much more definative than falling into a Sarlaac.

Another clone?  As if the other million in the galaxy weren't enough for someone...

The Yautja, I think I know how you felt on the Master Chief form lol.

What does that mean?

It means she feels that everyone is against her.

But we weren't against Yautja... he was just trying to keep it at a higher level of argument, like i was.

He was probably freaked out and started shooting like crazy.

I think Jango got caught up in the frenzy and just didn't think, he followed his instincts and they led him astray.

As for bringing him back from the dead, I haven't heard of a cure for decapitation. :P

thank you for keeping the peace Mel.

i agree with yautja. jango is no idiot. he taught boba everything he knows about bountyhunting. "we are supposed to talk about it as if it was real" where did you get that idea??

The Yautja was the one calling Jango an idiot, not defending him. Boba picked up most of his bounty hunting abilities on his own. We talk about it as if it is real because only in-universe can show characters' abilities, or lack there of.

I would say that Jango did teach Boba everything he knew and then Boba went and made it his own just like everybody does when they are taught something. So basically i'm saying Yes Jango taught Boba everything he knew and then Boba went and learned more. So I would say that Boba is diffently better than Jango.

Yes I, agree.

I dont think that jango taught Boba everything that boba knew. After all, boba was what six, when jango got decapitated.

I dont think jango had realy started to teach him anything. He was away all the time. There was a comic, called Jango Fett. ( i think, it was in a series of two, the other having Zam Wessel in the name) It showed boba at home playing with some toys, when Jango got home, he sat down and spent some time with him.

I think boba was a normal (normal being a sort of general term, as being the exact clone "son" of a infamus bounty hunter and living on a planet that seems to be in a perpetual storm cant realy be normal) kid, he played with his little toy starships. I dont think Jango knew he was going to die, I think he planed start Boba's training in a couple of years, when he was getting a little to old of his job.

So, in conclusion, I think Boba learned this from a message that jango might have recorded just in case. Or from the droid that was taking care of him, in the comic. Most of boba's skills are self learned I think. Though technically the same man as his "father" there would be some differences in thier comabat styles.

What do you mean?

I mean i dont think jango taught boba very much and boba learned alot on his own jouney. By himself

why dose this allways happen??
It's a mix of both! Jango taught boba a lot and boba picked up alot on the way.

jango died when boba was six, I dont deny that he taught him anything, I just say he didnt teach him alot.

I don't know about that, I mean Boba knew how to fly and when to fire. like on kamino when Obi is fighting Jango Boba knows what to do and how to do it.

Flying shooting, thats not much compared to all of his combat experience.

clearly he was wild'n out

oh yah. I thought that you guys where saying jango taught boba nothing! I think jango taught him mos tof the basics.  like you said he was 12 (not 6) when jango died and there for he only had about 6 years of training thats a good amount but not so much that he would know EVERYthing there is pluse i think boba would of made some new stuff just because he had some differn't places and events he had to go thrugh, like I'm sure jango didn't say "Ok Boba if a jedi with a purple saber cut's my head off here's what you do..." you see what i'm saying?

I thought he was ten.

Ok, twelve, not six, my bad.

I was not saying you were wrong!

I know, I just find it important to correct myself

I'm almost sure it was 12 I'll check

Okay.

ok. I looked at my starwars timeline and Boba is 10-12 depending on when triranus (spelling) made him the template. in ep3 Boba is 13-15 and by a new hope he's 32-34ish.

k, thanks.

Jango wanted Boba to be a bounty hunter, not a Madalore *cough traviss cough*, so maybe he wanted to teach Boba loss, and knew it was the only way Boba could be a true bounty hunter.

So...Jango got himself killed to teach Boba about loss? From what I saw he got trampled, disorientated, and got his head chopped off before he could react.

Besides, it's not too farfetched for Boba to become Mandalore. Jango was Mandalore, so he became Mandalore too. Doesn't make him any less of a Bounty Hunter.

So.......in my words.....jango got PWND by a series of seemingly unrelated events......

I dont think jango would have killed himself just to teach boba a lesson about death/loss.....Thats what pets are for. :)
