Jango Fett...Dissapointing...hmmm... (Page 1 of 4)

Jango was certainly a better Mandalore....

Well in Bloodlines it kind of shows what kind of Mandalore Boba is being....

he doesn't know the language for a start which although isn't a major problem shows how much he's actually interested in learning about his culture...
He doesn't really go on campaigns with his Mandalorians or lead them as Mandalore the Ultimate or Indomtiable did.... (Apart from of course in the Yuuzhan Vong War)

He doesn't go to the planet very often.

It occurs to me that Mandalorians would prefer a life with the risk of being wiped out at every turn... Thats why when they were defeated in the Mandalorian Wars they did not hate Revan but instead admired him for beating them....Although he didn't wipe them out....

In Jango's time the Mandalorians were alreay being wiped off the face of the galaxy from what i understand. It was inevitable that the Mando'a would be darned eventually.
I don't think Jango is puny or some little moron off in the cornor doodling somthing.
I'm just hoping this doesn't turn out to be some flaming arguement considering our different view on things.

But Boba has to from what i hear.

Exactly. I don't think there is much argument to say that Boba is a better Mandalore than Jango...

That doesn't mean Boba isn't a greater Bounty Hunter or a better fighter... Just not as good a Mandalore.

Has Boba killed Jedi Knights or Masters? I'm not up to speed on Boba in the EU. Who did he waste?

Has Boba killed Jedi with his bare hands like Jango had in Open Seasons? I'm not sure if it was mentioned anywhere or not.

What?! When? I had always thought it would be cool if the braids that Fett wore were from padawans instead of Wookies, but...heads? I don't know about who created that concept.

I like Jango. Not as much as Boba Fett, and I most likely never will. But I think Jango, though not cool in every way, was cool in his own, confident, violent, simple kind of way. He had some pretty cool accomplishments and has been depicted pretty well in a few places (some more than others).

I know it's not the popular theory, but I still think he's pretty cool.

And I like the theory that Boba Fett didn't obsess over the Mandalorians and the culture. He is Boba Fett. It wasn't a need or requirement and any army that cannot function without the exact presence of their leader, probably shouldn't be fighting in the first place. Besides...

At the end of it all...I'd like to think Boba Fett would stand alone.

...*sigh*...Everyone tends to see and view the characters in their favorite light, and there are so very many different interpretations...

Boba does rely on his mind more than Jango did, but how do you know that Jango is stronger? Gojan, the heads were in a comic.

1. That was about Boba exclusivly, so you cannot compare that to Jango.
2. What you read was Solo saying "There are only a handful of people who can beat Fett in a fair fight."
3. The quote was in a semi-canon "Tales" comic.

Well, that could just be the actor, Gustavo.
