What is with all the Jango hate and disrespect? (Page 2 of 7)

canonically, no jango=no boba.

Don't look at me I don't disprespect or hate Jango even if his tatics are less than ingenious. So what if George Lucas created Jango to give origin to Boba, I just like the story.

only cause Jango is no match 4 Boba

Some things just come naturally...

yeah and he would've been in a lot more trouble if he killed 2 jedi knights. then it wouldn't just be Obi-Wan investigating. the whole order would want to know what happened. I don't think Tyranus would be pleased with the jedi nosing around just because Jango didn't want to kill a worthless bounty hunter instead of 2 jedi.

This is a little late, but I agree with Volk-Ordo. If Jango had shot at the Jedi, I don't think he'd have killed both. The first one hit might have fallen, then Zam would've yelled out "Oh Crap! Jango!", the surviving Jedi would have assumed a battle stance with his 'saber at the ready, Jango would have flown off(because he knows fighting a Jedi is such close quarters as an alley puts him at a disadvantage,not because he's a coward), the remaining Jedi would have taken Zam to be interrogated more thoroughly and then she would have revealed Jango to the Jedi.

If a wrist rocket could've killed both Jedi, wouldn't it have killed Zam,too? Given her proximity to both of them? And I think the Jedi could have avoided the blast from a rocket. It would have been louder and slower than a dart or blaster bolt.

He was a lot closer to Obi-Wan when he shot that rocket. Shooting one from a rooftop some distance away would be different. Somewhere during the rocket's travel it would have made an audible noise that would have alerted one of the Jedi. And I think Jango's wrist rockets are dumb-fire. There's a good chance that they would have limited accuracy over long ranges and most likely would have missed his targets. He'd have only succeeded in creating an explosion that would have alerted both Jedi and prevented him from making a successful second attack.

The rocket he shot at Obi-Wan was much larger, and presumably, stronger than a wrist rocket would have been. The jetpack mounted rocket didn't do much damage even though Obi-Wan barely dodged it. I can't see a wrist mounted rocket,even if it hit it's mark, killing both Jedi.

Are you talking about the rockets he fired at those two anarchists on Kuat? Because he was a lot closer to them than he would have been to Anakin and Obi-Wan. Also, I think there's some debate over how accurately the artist for that story portrayed the strength of his rockets.

Since they were in a crowded area, I'm sure someone in the alley or nearby would have said something along the lines of," Dude, what's that rocket thingy in the air?". Then one of the Jedi, probably Kenobi, would have looked up and deflected it right before it exploded.

I  don't think his wrist rockets are powerful enough or accurate enough to kill either of them. If a rocket fired close-range from his jetpack didn't hurt Kenobi, even though it exploded almost right in his face, the chance that a smaller rocket would kill either is low ( even if  it had picked up more momentum from traveling a further distance). Zam might have gotten killed if the rocket exploded close enough to them, but only because she was already injured.

He was too far away to use his flamethrower.
