What is with all the Jango hate and disrespect? (Page 7 of 7)

I just think he is kinda lame, I mean they basically made him without a mind of his own. He was moreless a tool to be used. Unlike Boba who thinks everything over countless times, if you just look....Boba wouldnt have made the mistake of standing in the way of a charging jedi. After Jango shot once or twice and Mace blocked the shots he should have backed up and tried a different tactic, grated his jetpack was damaged but he could have done more.

They made Jango to personable as well. I also persoanlly think they ruined Bobas backround by showing his as a young boy. I dont really agree with that, personally I think it was weak. His original back story was far more suiting to the person he became. Making Boba an "unaltered" clone was pathetic.

I dont think Boba "relies" on technology so much as he uses it to his advantage. In many ways Boba uses his general senses to hunt and track his bounty. His technology just adds to his efficiant tactics.

I think we can all agree that Lucas botched it big time with Fetts death scene. It isnt in his character at all to act like that. Thats where the problem comes in with his backround and all of that and then what was portrayed in the movies.

I dont think Fett was portrayed as well as he should have been, even Lucas himself has said he underestemated Fett's popularity and shouldnt have "killed" him off like that.

Basically the 2 stories dont mix together well.

I think Lucus TRIED not to make the same mistake with Jango as he did with Boba and attempted to give him a brave and heroic death, and I give him some cred for that; he did go down taking on a Reek AND perhaps the greatest Jedi Master with a lightsaber in the Order.  But all he really accomplished was doing the Boba scene over again, just on a grander scale.

Symilarities:

1. They both  jump into the middle of a battle he doesn't need to be part of

2. They both take on the hero of the moment: Boba vs. Luke, Jango vs. Mace.   

3. Jango and Boba both get some good shots off at said hero above, and could have got him if they'd been a little luckier/scipt allowed

4. They pay TOO much attention to the one they want, and get burned by another character/creature that happened to be in the area

If you just go by the death scenes, you have to say Jango was the better warrior, cause at least he killed a Jedi just before, And killed the Reek, AND got some more shots off at Mace

How did

turn into a 7-page-long internet argument?

Honestly, it's just arguing semantics about a fictional character, whose intended true persona may have been misinterpreted by authors and poorly written about. I may not be as knowledgeable about Jango and Fett as most of you, but I don't think that arguing about how much you know makes you any better than the person whose facts are off. I personally think that this topic should have stopped at the halfway mark of the first page, since people pretty much had made their points by then. At least there hasn't been any nitpicking since May.

Personally, I like Jango. I don't think that he would have been selected to have the entire Clone Army genetically emulated from him if he hadn't been thought to have been worthy.

I also really like that Boba's origin was shown because it changed the view of Boba from being a misanthrope to being an avenger, with a purpose other than self-interest -- Jango's death adds flavour to his backstory. Yes, Boba simply being a self-interested, misanthropic, extremely dangerous bounty hunter had an extreme attraction in itself, but adding a vengeful motive to all that just amped up Boba's meter in my eyes.

As far as the waste of the two rockets thing goes...that's just one instance plotted by one or few people. It didn't have to make sense -- it's a story, and stories often have irrational ticks that don't quite fit. I'll agree that it was extremely wasteful, but who other than the writer knows what his motive was for using that much firepower for what we see as an insignificant target? Bounty hunters do crazy and irrational things all the time.

I don't really have anything else to say, but I am glad that I learned quite a bit from reading the exchanges in this thread. You all certainly put up a good fight for your opinions, and that's garnered my respect.

it wouldn't matter if they wear the silver armor or boba fett's kind of armor -you got admit their armor is a little intimidating ---if you were to see a bunch of them comming down the street ---I can honestly said I wouldn't want to mess with them ---they look cool and just by design you can tell they are built for battle

I DO! Yeah I'm a noob, but Jango does need his respect. I mean God! I don't see what's wrong with him. Sure he made some mistakes, but it's not like you can make everybody perfect. And why do people hate him so much? He might have done some kinda stupid stuff that people don't like, but so have I and the rest of the people out there. It just makes Star Wars 1 step more realistic.
