What is with all the Jango hate and disrespect? (Page 5 of 7)

Yet they still somehow found a way to hunt him down anyway.  So you can really argue it either way.  If he had a bit of foresight I'm sure he would have shot Anikan or Obi-Wan.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, just playing devil's advocate.

If he shot the Jedi, no one known who the assassin was, and he would still have a partner.

If he's the top of his game, then how hard would it be to kill two unsuspecting Jedi?  It's not easy for them to detect exactly where danger is coming from, and they couldn't tell what form it would take.  Two saber-darts to their necks, and then dress the corpses as some random mugging victims in civvies and there ya go; problem averted.  It also has a positive advantage of keeping a valuable asset alive.  I just think that that was a stupid move on his part.

I never said hehad a good partner.

So were the Jedi.

Him realizing he had a bad partner, was part of the reason he killed her

How about we all agree that the way things were done so poorly, had more to do with the crappy screenplay writers and less than with the characters themselves.

Unfortunately the actions of our favorite Mandalores are limited by poor character development in a highly biased storyline.

Let's just hope the upcoming Boba Fett TV show doesn't suffer the same tragic fate...

Thanx Sev,
Im perfectly willing to back up my opinions, if offered a direct challenge. Yes, they are opinions. Last I checked I was entitled to a few of those...

I meant to say that lack of Jango's character motivation and reasons for some of his poor choices in the movie were limited by screen writer's portrayal. They had to focus more on other aspects, using Jango's termination of Zem Wessel as a plot device. Unfortunately, such unclear actions are judged by fans on these boards as grounds to knock on Jango.

In some of Jango's comics, like the one with the Mandalore Vs. Jedi battle that proceeds his deal with Darth Tyrannus to offer his services on Kamino, Jango's ability really shines.

Different writers= better portrayal of Jango.

Is that backup enough for you, Sev?

check my edit...
And we're still on topic!

...'nuff said...

I did not really mean it as a challenge or anything like that...

BUt what I'm saying is that viewing it from a view from reality like you said different people potray characters on how they view them, these characters in no way think for themselves as there is obviously a writer deciding how they should act.

But what I like doing is looking at in context.  As if the characters were flesh and blood, making their own decisions based on circumstances they are in.  It gives the element that you are actually immersed in the world you are reading about.

So on that note I still am not sure whether it was a god or bad decision to shoot Zam.  Jango may have been thinking ahead, realizing these people were Jedi, and figured he may as well make himself as impossible to find by killing Zam.  Jedi can block a blaster bolt which is moving a lot faster than a saber dart.

That would be the best course, but it would leave for minimal debate and influx of opinion.
I still think that it would be wiser to shoot the Jedi,a nd then kill Wessel.  It would be a lot harder to detect a small piece of metal, and deflect it, than it would be to deect and deflect a blaster bolt.  For one thing, a piece of metal is harder to see than a laser.  Three dead bodies, made to look like a bar braw, and no one would pay muc attention to it for ages, until the Jedi were revealed to have been Jedi.  By then, Jango could have been safely away.

Which is what I said basically...

Ha I could imagine it now.  Jango is about to shoot one of the Jedi but Boba calls on his com channel.  Dad! We were supposed to go swimming!
