Topic: Jango: Worthy to be a Fett?

Jango died by Mace's blade because his jetpack was damaged when the reek trotted over him. Otherwise, Jango would have flew away just in time.

Jangos skill is just masked by Boba Fetts skill. He is a worthy character with skill ranking above most Jedi Masters.

he does not rank above Jedi masters. He was able to kill one, with a cheap shot. In a one-on-one battle, just about any Jedi master would kill Jango.

It wasn't a cheap shot actually.Trebor managed to deflect the first few.

I haven't seen Episode II in a couple years. Didn't he try to tske Trebor by suprise? If he did, it was still a cheap shot, but the Jedi was able to sense the attack.

Yeah but you'd only call that a cheap shot for Jango,draco. :P

I would call it a cheap shot for anybody. I have called Boba's actions in "Overkill" dishonorable, and unloyal.

You did?Well,I guess it was a bit cheap...but we should keep it to ourselves,eh? :P

I, while not being the biggest star wars fan, know ow the  scene played out, and I haven't seen attack of the clones in over a year, maybe two.  Trebor, jumps down in front of  Count Dooku in an attempt to capture him.  Jango, simply standing over to the side, shoots at him.  Trebor simply fails to block all the shots.  Not cheap, unless you call not openly challengeing your enemy to 1 on 1 combat cheap.

Hell yeah, He was friggin' Mandalor!

And as Mandalore, the Mandalorians were decimated.

True....... Ordo did the best job as Mandalor.

Listen...I REALLY don't want to have to bring out that one time when Jango killed a bunch of jedi with his bare hands, some of whom were masters, but you seem to keep forgetting, so I must remind you yet again.  So obviously, not any jedi master could beat him one-on-one.

SF

it wasn't cheap draco, jango simply had the tactical advantage. By the time Trebor got on his feet and took out his saber, Jango would have already made his kill.

Jango was not that bad, yea he died in a crappy way but the bounty hunter game was awsome, now dont get me wrong he was no Boba Fett but he was pretty cool

Really his flame thrower sucked all the fuel from it. If you watch episode 2 one more time you will see his jetback start and then dies, because he had used all his fuel.

no, flamethrower and jetpack fuel are different. when the reek trotted over him, you see sparks come from his jetpack, ergo it was damaged.

Well thats what www.wookieepedia.com says.........................I gess draco's right ..........or your wrong!

Jango is GREAT!  He took down that Jedi easy, and could have had Mace AND Obi-Wan!  Was sad when he went down  :(

Except there is no way he could take down Mace and Windu.  Trebor wasn't that great of a Jedi master.

???? what? Oh, well technically....he had her beaten, and could have killed her. Dooku just finished it.

Never even knew that Jedi had a name....lol :P

I think Jango is very worthy of the Fett name.  Not so much from what we saw in Ep. II, but based on what we know about him in the EU.  Keep in mind, Jango didn't get the same shake Boba did.

Boba got TWO films, one scripting him as the sucsessful hunter who tracks Han.  That's his only real achievment in the films

Jango only got ONE film, and every meaningful spot he was put in was against essential-plot characters.  He DID handle Obi-Wan pretty well *and could easily have looked a lot better with some improved writing,* and he more or less held his own against Mace considering the situation.

Based on just the movies, Jango looks like a better AND smarter fighter then Boba.  Throw in the EU, and I'd say they BOTH are much more wothy of the Fett name

To be fairly honest, Jango Fett was the greatest bounty Hunter of his time. Hell, Jango taught Boba everything he knew, wouldnt that be a valid reason for him to be called a "Fett"?

TW

Well, not EVERYTHING Boba knows, but it seems pretty obvious that Jango didn't hurt Boba's chances to become the galaxy's Greatest bounty hunter

I'm with you on that one.  Jango was the greatest hunter of his time, and likewise, Boba was the greatest of his time.  Like father, like son.  If Jango wasn't all that great, then why would Boba care to live up to his name?

Yup

I totally agree, some people may argue his death was stupid, yeah but Boba's 'death' wasn't any better. Jango got decapitated by a Jedi Master. Boba got smacked in the back by a semi-blind dude and fell screaming into a pit.

Ha!

So, you going to contribute or anything?

Yes, I don't think Jango is worthy to be a Fett.

Why not though? He was the best Bounty hunter of his time. Why doesn't he deserve to be a Fett?

After reading "Open Seasons" I would have to agree Jango is worthy to be a Fett. Further, he was INDEED the best bounty hunter of his time.

He did a crappy job as Mandolor
He had no honer
He get people to do his job
He made his clan ashamed that they had one of their clan as mandolor
ETC....

Boba Fett abandoned his family, did Jango?

What family did jango have to abandon?

Boba. Who was basically his son. He could have chose to leave him there, give him to someone else.

He  abandoned him by stupidly taking on a jedi master instead of just watching them. He abandoned his son with nothing but a book. that gave him no info

He made a tactical mistake, and died for it. But he didn't willingly leave them. If he could he would have came back.

Boba didn't. He never went back

He wanted to show off his combat skills to Gunray.......

I doubt that a Mandalorian warrior would want to show his skills to a Nemodian accountant. Where did you hear or read that? Also, I don't recall Gunray being at the battle.

Watch the movie again.

Read Bloodlines. Boba admits that Jango was a better father then him.

Okay, but did Boba Go and get him self killed, no he didn't.

Which is why Jango deserves to be a Fett. He died in combat, with a superior opponent. A good death.

Agreed. Jango had a contract, and he was fullfilling it. NOT doing so would have been dishonorable, and Boba would have thought less of him. Perhaps he didn't do the best Job as Mandalore. He probably thought the Mandos were finished, or something. They'd taken heavy losses at the hands of the Jedi. Just as Boba was fullfilling HIS contract with Jabba when he "died", so was Jango.

Jango was an amazing hunter, and was a far better father than Boba ever was.

Where'd you get that? I've NEVER heard that. As a matter of fact, one of the Mandos that served under Jango respected him even after Jango didn't return. Played Bounty Hunter? yeah, from that.

I agree, in the Mando culture, i believe, a death in battle is the most honorable death there is. i believe jango was worthy to be a Fett and was a good father to Boba...i have wondered if he ever thought he could have been a better father in certain places

Lets Agree to disagree...

Sure, even though your wrong :P

Good lord! :mad:

Hes mostly joking--its important to understand that with AA.

But seriously--MandoGirls right. Dying in battle is honored in Mandalorian society. They're a very warlike people, and many would rather die fighting than of old age.
