Jango. Elite bounty hunter? (Page 2 of 4)

Well i wish i could qoute everyone who disagrees with Draco, but it's too many. Anyways, Draco, Jango was famous before he met Zam or any of his so called "freelance stringers". I'd like to see you live Jango's career without requiring help from time to time. And I can tell you have serious social problems...... And thank you for everyone who does not think Jango is a retarded and thank you for respecting Jango even if he's not as good as Boba. I really appreciate it, because in my childhood, I spent a lot of time playing Star Wars Bounty Hunter, reading Open Seasons, buying AOTC toys, etc. I greatly hate it when one of my favorite childhood heroes is disrespected for stupid reasons like the fact that Jango is "technically" from New Zealand. Thats bull. In fact writing this has inspired me to go play Battelfront 2 online once i set it up and make Jango get the respect he deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Draco there is nothing wrong with asking for help occasionally, nor is there anything wrong trusting people.

Also I can't quote everything everyone else said but other than Draco i completely agree to every post, especially the one Fetterthanyou posted about  Jango beating 5 IG-88's. You bet he could. Remember, he is Boba's predecessor, the Fett of the prequels.

Oh and I am merely suggesting that one reason Draco might not like Jango is because he had a better death than Mandalore the Indomitable, which I believe is Draco's avatar. At least Jango didn't get eaten by some animals......

1. He was famous before he met Zam, but how do you know about the other retainers?
2. I never said that asking for help is cowardly, but his reatainers actually do the work for him.
3. I know.
4. Did I ever call Jango mentally retarded?
5. Trusting people is not smart if you have a job like Jango did.
6. I could care less how they died. I have never even read the comics that Mandalore the Indomitable was in.

You sure did call him retarded, and I'll post it here when I find it.

Alright, alright, sorry I brought your personal hatred. This is a discussion about whether Jango is in fact a smart enough man to be a proficient bounty hunter.

No more flaming one another.

I definately think Jango is smart enough. He's a Fett, isn't he? How about when he escaped from slavery and outwited numerous peoples whose names I forget? That took a little thinking I believe. Have some faith in the man. Can't we all just get along? Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

No offence mando, but I have got to correct some of your "rant."

1. Jango and Boba are not the same person. Just because Boba is a clone, does not make him Jango's exact copy. His genetics are the same, but his experiences, logic, and strategies are completely different.

2. Jango did not move from being a bounty hunter to being an intermediary. He stayed a bounty hunter and used the others as expendables as you said.

Other then that it's fine.

It's hard to know how smart/talented Jango is considering that all we have is the Ep. II novelization, Open Seasons, the Jango/Zam duology, and various Star Wars Tales.  One can probably assume from Open Seasons, since he was Mandalore at some point (unless I misunderstood the comic) he must have been a seasoned strategist and warrior, and thus a good bounty hunter and intelligent fellow.  But we can't say that he's as good or as smart as Boba because Boba is the original, has much more info about him for us to draw from, and lived longer.  Jango's name was infamous while he lived, but I don't think it was as well-known as Boba's. (i.e. Families probably weren't discussing Jango's fearsomeness over dinner.)

Lol when you said household names and discussing them over dinner I cracked up. I could just imagine a family sitting down for dinner...

"How was your day honey?"
"Fine. how was yours?"
"Good. Hey how about the fearsomeness of Jango and Calo Nord?"
"Yea, they are some very fearsome bounty hunters."

You had to be there i guess...

Just to clarify, I meant they are the same person in that they have the same basic potential as each other. Of course they are not the same literal person. As for Jango not being be an intermediary, perhaps you should read the visual dictionary. A little sentence begining, "Fett has become so profesionally formidable ...." In any case of course of Boba was better than Jango, that's what Jango had him made for. And of Course Jango was elite. He is specifically called the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

I think it is unfair to compare the Fetts. Jango was Mandalorian and he cared about mandos and had feelings. Boba was the perfect hunter, cold calculating and ruthless. Jango was the perfect warrior.

And just for the record, Jango was as well known as Boba. Read shatterpoint. A Bunch of kids on a back water world not only know him but he is their hero!

since you obliged to be so rude in your post (intentionally or not) I have a rebuttle.

This inferrs that you believe their intelligence is equal due to the fact that Boba is a clone of Jango. Not that you thought they had the same potential.

Also, Definition- Intermediary:
An intermediary is a third party that offers intermediation services between two trading parties.

Jango hired help from mercs and assassins to suppliment his strength and cover his weaknesses. As others have stated, he also worked well with others because of his innate leadership abilities. This in no way makes him an Intermediary.

Sorry that not everyone agrees with your personal opinion of Jango. As we have seen Draco and others have explained their reasons for denying Jango of his "Elite" status.

That is why they have insane asylums in the Star Wars galaxy.
