Jango Fett...Dissapointing...hmmm... (Page 3 of 4)

That means nothing. Boba could exersise more, or exersise less than Jango. If one of them was more muscular than the other, he would be stronger, larger, and heavier than the other.

Well if we saw Boba's and Jango's muscles, this topic would be drasticlly less active.

Boba wasn't very active in the movies because he wasn't very popular yet, he was basically just a background character.  You do see Fett's muscles in one comic, and they look about equal to Jango's.

Sure you can, because in no way would it be such an extreme difference where it would turn the tide of a battle. Lets just say for arguments sake (this is all made up on the spot) that Jango can lift 200 lbs. Boba can only lift 180 lbs. If Jango faught somebody with his martial skills, and Boba faught the same person with his skills, I don't see how Jango's strength would give him an advantage. Fights are won by strategy, reflexes, knowledge, and practice. Strength is only a factor when the difference is so extreme that 1 person can completely overpower the other.

Yet again here we go in the Fett vs. Fett thing. You know what I found disappointing about Jango Fett that he didn't get to kick more *** in the movies,the same disappointment I found in Boba Fett. Especially if anybody ever saw Once were warriors,you know T.M. is great in a brawl scene.

By the way,being a clone does not mean that you end up the same weight and build. If you took a guy and trained him to be a runner, he would be lean and sinewy. If you took the same guy and trained him to be a body builder he would be muscular and heavy. If you trained him to be a tri-athelete he would come out somewhere in between.

I've never heard of this so called comic Jango Fett versus the Razor Eaters,not to mention comics are not considered canon. No matter how much some of them are really great, most are crap.

Jango never says Boba is stronger than him,he says he's a better shot than he was as a boy. That's in the AOTC novel,look it up if you don't believe me. Of Course Boba was trained as a warrior from the get go,Jango started as a farmboy (shades of Luke Skywalker).

Jango was never the Mandalore, and Boba Fett became the Mandalore under duress. Both ended up leading mandos out of duty not by choice. By the way,not all the Mandos under Jango command die,because Dooku is interrogating one, also Jango was shot out of the sky and still went back to help his men. He STAYED with them,FOUGHT with them,that is what a commander should do. He is by no means a poor leader. Hell,in the end he even avenged them.

Jango and Boba also have different fighting styles, and that effects the way they are built.

Boba Fett prefers speed,stealth, and distance (his choice of less leg armor, a rifle, and leaner build suggest this).  Jango is a much more physical,in your face,street fighting man (his heavier style armor,short range pistols,and heavier build...not to mention the duke out with Obi-Wan). This part is of course just my speculation.....

Boba and Jango like any other son and father share alot of traits,but just because they are clones does not mean they are exact duplicates. Even the clone troopers start to act differently as they experience different things.

People,Fetts included, are more than the sum of their parts.

P.S.

This was brought up in another thread, Slave 1. Jango had siesmic detonators, Boba has Ion cannons. Destroy Utterly. Immobilize and Capture. Jango Fett obviously has some anger managment problems.

I didn't say that fights are won with pure strength alone, merely that strength is something to consider, not something that can be dismissed so easily. While it might not make much difference compared to strategy, reflexes, knowledge, and practice, to understand something fully means to study all it's aspects, including strength I would say.

I don't mean that Jango has an advantage by being stronger, merely that he would win in things like push up contests and arm wrestling, or that a punch from Jango would be a little stronger than a punch from Boba, if the punch were identical and hit the same area. The only thing i don't get though is the pick up truck example. Also I dislike your truck example. It just doesn't explain much.

I don't think Jango would win in a puchup contest or a fistfight, or arm wrestling, they'd probably knock eachother out if they were both in an unarmed physical contest.

If tho this isnt an exact test of strengh, but Boba did get out of the sarlac pit, that requires some amazing strenght, not only physicaly but mentaly.

But saying that, what does it really matter who was strongest...

It doesn't matter to me who is the strongest. When it comes to Boba and Jango, the apple didn't fall fat from the tree.

Jango was........unique.  I guess that's what defines characters like these.  If you had two exact same characters, it would be pointless.  Why not just have one?  Lucas gave each of the Fetts their strengths and faults, and, taking both into consideration, Jango is pretty good.  The same can be said about Boba.  While you all know I prefer Boba, I am not saying that Jango's worthless.  They BOTH have faults, that's what makes them believable.  (If you count the happenings in the SW universe as believable....)

And to be fair in Jango's defense, his background hasn't been covered in such detail as it has been with Boba Fett.  So there may be many stories that we haven't yet heard about that would blow Boba's sarrlac adventure out of the water, and then again, maybe not.
