I just don’t understand how such a perfectly written, interesting engaging story detailing Jango’s backstory is just hand waved off as non-cannon. Not only did we see the rise of a legendary Mando, we got a glimpse of the Mando culture that wasn’t part if the pacifist movement.
Sadly, Lucas and Filonni both mentioned during Clone Wars creation that Jango was most definitely not Mando, meaning all the novels and comics that went through Jango's past were already considered non-canon back when Legends existed as canon but most people ignored Lucas and Filonni's confirmation because like you said, it really stupid to just toss away an already established and detailed lore of a character's history.
@@WatcherMovie008 To be fair to fair, the way they actually did it actually seemed to leave room for interpretation, which makes me think at least Filoni intended to have some sort of "plan" just in case. That being said, I do question how this lack of a Mandalorian history will play into Season 2 of Mando
@@WatcherMovie008 That was purely Filoni's choice. All George did for TCW was fund it. There is no evidence that he did anything else for the show such as writing, producing etc. other than fund it and maybe checked on the team once in awhile .
Wow, I didn't realize there was this much history about Jango Fett. And that he had so much loyalty and honor. This really has changed my opinion of Jango, for the better.
Its definitely a stretch, but I think The Black Series figure line only has canon figures (again to my knowledge and I dont have them all or look over every single one so I may be wrong), but with the new Jango Fett figure from the Bounty Hunter videogame it might mean that its canon. I say this because Sion, Trea, Revan from Kotor 2 are canon thanks to galaxy of heroes and they've not released anything really that contradicts their story or Jango's so they might be considered canon. The only thing I'm aware of in Jango's story is Almec (who lied to Obiwan about the warriors of Mandalore rebuilding, being a deathwatch supporter too who rivaled the true mandalorians) saying Jango was a simple bountyhunter who managed to get his hands on some armor. I may just be hopeful, but we might get more backstory in season 2 of The Mandalorian with Boba's jetpack and helmet making an appearance and Tamuera Morrison being casted this season 😁
There’s been a lot of back and fourth in the Star Wars community about wither jango and boba are mandolorian. But this proves my point that he is mandolorian ! No matter what anyone says
I see no reason Disney canon and Legends can't co-exist, Mandalorians split into multiple factions including several banished ones and I feel misinformation coming from each group explains the inconsistencies in each of theirs stories. The Jango is no Mando argument comes from that Mandalorian Politician disavowing Jango to Obi-wan in the clone wars, Right after Obi-wan asked if they knew anything about his assassination attempts. Of course hes not going to claim a soldier from a banished faction that died out before the Phantom Menace. Boba is more complicated, technically the only Mandalorian culture hes been exposed to is by his father, he wasn't raised in the group, but I think that leaves room for him to rebuild the army in future star wars projects or even maybe the Mandalorian season 2 or beyond Since he probably has a desire to rejoin his fathers adopted heritage (though not the pascifists or Death Watch, Jango would have taught him to hate those groups.)
Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau along with the rest of Lucasfilm (because they have the final say in greenlighting this stuff) agree with you according to the newest Mandalorian episode.
Shows how skilled the mandalorians and especially Jango were when they were able to take out over half of the Jedis without having any force abilities! The mandos are some of the most badass Star wars characters!
I was saying the same thing, he was also notoriously corrupt and the show the Mandilorian proves Jango is a Mandilorian because thats how he became one lol. And maybe Almic was a bit of a racist too.
In the both novels Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel and Imperial Commando: 501st It's revealed Jango's sister Arla was spared and forced to join the Death Watch. She was unwillingly became an assassin for the terrorist group. As a result, Arla suffers from Stockholm syndrome and couldn't reunite with her brother since she reluctantly joined with the Enemy who slaughtered both their parents. She also became suicidal. She must have heard the Jango died on Geonosis and took it hard.
Lucas ignored this lore first. For him the Fetts weren't Mandalorians and that's why we got a corresponding statement from Almec in TCW when Almec said that Jango Fett was just an ordinary bounty hunter. So Disney has nothing to do with it. The fact that the EU was declared to be non-canon was long overdue in many places due to Lucas's canon policy.
@@warlord0877 Gungans are actually great warriors. They have superior speed and reflexes to humans. I'd rather be a gungan than a normal human. Gungans would wreck rebel commandos, naboo troops, and imperials in close combat. They carried the battle of Mon Calamari and were the best troops by far. They beat Grievous. Gungans are actually up there with factions like Genosians, Kel Dor, Chiss, Selkath, Ewoks, and Zygerians. But a bit below Noghri, Echanti, Mandalorians, Trandoshans, Umbarans, Yinchorri, Uri Fen's race, Iridorians, Night sisters, Wookiees, Vong, and Devorians. Gamoreans, Jawas, Cathar, Twileks, Humans, Mon Calamari, Weequay, and Rodians are all below Gungans.
Honestly this Jango Fett is much better than the canon material Jango. I kind of enjoyed the EU stuff as it did expand much more of this universe where most people won't want to expand it. I also believe that there is room to have this info with Jango if Disney or even George Lucas would put into it.
That remaster would be godly among the current games we forced to play and receive. Plus it'd get casual Star Wars fans to look further into Legends. Disney Star Wars/Canon is going nowhere and hasn't been for the longest. The Expanded Universe needs to make a comeback. And I mean a big one. Without enough attention it'll just remain in the dark remain an infinite shadow of what current Star Wars could be...
BlackShogun 27 seriously took the words outta my mouth. This current canon is going nowhere and nothing seems to be planned. Whatever is planned has an almost shoehorned in feel to it.
Hands down my favorite Star Wars character of all time. Underrated but respected. Jango Fett was more than just a natural born leading Mandalorian and a perfect bounty hunter, he was the mentor of Boba Fett and Cad Bane. And those two were considered the best of the best in the galaxy after Jango's death. It is a fact if Jango ever survived he will still be at the top above Boba and Bane.
The way this video was constructed was exactly what I had in mind, thank you for giving us this information, and making a cool video in the process, great content.
He was probably aware there was a bigger game involved. However, his professional courtesy and general behavior would keep him from being to investigative.
The life of the name of Fett carried by Jango and Boba is an incredible showing of Mandalorian growth and beliefs. I know I'm going to enjoy rewatching the full story of Legends Jango and Boba Fett.
Loved it. Great video brotha I remember playing the bounty hunter game it was great loved the backstory I still have my dark horse Jango comics from back in the day
Man the footage of "Starwars Bounty hunter" from PS2 brings back memories. Sadly I got stuck in the prison during the prison riot phase. I couldn't figure out how to escape the facility.
first few seconds of the video "who should be mandalorian and who shouldnt" me reaching for taco bell hot sauce, the packet says "it's a secret" hahahaha perfect timing.
Now the second book in the Republic Commando series revealed that Jango's sister survived Concord Dawn and became a Bounty Hunter till she was captured by the Empire.
![Abeloth The Mother: PURE EVIL [FULL STORY] - Star Wars Explained](/img/n.gif)
Now *THIS* is Jango Fett
Now THIS is pod racing
Jango was the one man who brought the jedi many victories and was also the one who killed them all.
Through his Clones yes.

Me neither.
I don't care what the Disney Canon or Lucas says about Jango and Boba.
They are both Mandalorians.
Roz"I didn't realize your lady friend was such a looker!"
Zam: ":D"
Jango: "She's got nothin' on you, Roz"
Zam: ">:c"
Gets me every time
I looked in the comments juts for this thank you
38:27
Yeah, he's a whole gangster for that.
Well, gals love (smart) bad boys because these kind of thing. They're smooth as fuc* 😂😂😂
Ah yes. Legends version of Jango Fett. The true story for our True Mandalorian.
Wow, I didn't realize there was this much history about Jango Fett. And that he had so much loyalty and honor. This really has changed my opinion of Jango, for the better.
It's good that he is now canonized as a Mandalorian, pretty cool of Dave to have Boba do it.
Now I know this isn't canon but still considered this a better origin than the canon origin and honestly it makes more sense
that’s just legends
Stuff like this is why Legends needs to continue as its own thing and why more folks need to support the Star Wars Legends movement.
Its definitely a stretch, but I think The Black Series figure line only has canon figures (again to my knowledge and I dont have them all or look over every single one so I may be wrong), but with the new Jango Fett figure from the Bounty Hunter videogame it might mean that its canon.

outerheaven155 true because jango does know some aspects of mando culture and in legends boba was mandolore for a while
Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau along with the rest of Lucasfilm (because they have the final say in greenlighting this stuff) agree with you according to the newest Mandalorian episode.
@@mattboy5296 Yeah I lost my shit when they even brought out documentation.
Shows how skilled the mandalorians and especially Jango were when they were able to take out over half of the Jedis without having any force abilities! The mandos are some of the most badass Star wars characters!
When Almic said Jango Fett wasn't a mandalorian I'm guessing that was bias against Jango's kind of mandalorian
I always assumed that Almic and many pacifist were just saying he doesn’t represent there faction and current Mandalorian culture
He pretends to be a pacifist but also associates with the Death Watch he has every reason to deny that Jango is mandalorian
I was saying the same thing, he was also notoriously corrupt and the show the Mandilorian proves Jango is a Mandilorian because thats how he became one lol. And maybe Almic was a bit of a racist too.
Well in Legends Jango was part of a rival clan of the death watch and basically killed their leader and founder and the ancestor of Pre Visla so...
@@klaykid117 Especially since Death Watch is a terrorist group and Jango supposedly is from Concord Dawn a planet of mandos that death watch hated.
In the both novels Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel and Imperial Commando: 501st
It's revealed Jango's sister Arla was spared and forced to join the Death Watch.
She was unwillingly became an assassin for the terrorist group.

Disney wasted so much potential ignoring this much lore.
Agree
I would like this story to have a Live-Action adaptation.
Disney have said they're looking back at past lore to see what they can bring in. Expect a lot of Legends to become Canon really quickly.
Lucas ignored this lore first. For him the Fetts weren't Mandalorians and that's why we got a corresponding statement from Almec in TCW when Almec said that Jango Fett was just an ordinary bounty hunter. So Disney has nothing to do with it. The fact that the EU was declared to be non-canon was long overdue in many places due to Lucas's canon policy.
@@DeltaArc1136 To be fair, we shouldn't trust a word Almec says. He was probably just trying to keep Mandalore neutral in the war.
If I wasn’t a Jedi or Sith, I could definitely see myself as a Mandalorian warrior
Why not be both like the jedi mando
You’d probably be a Gungan
This is the way.
@@warlord0877 Gungans are actually great warriors. They have superior speed and reflexes to humans. I'd rather be a gungan than a normal human.

I love the Sith and Empire, but I'm going Mando all the way.
They should remaster Star Wars Bounty Hunter.

This is where the fun begins
The Jango Fett game is Canon to me
Same
Same here.
And his comics
Mace
as long as disney canon does not cover this it is canon
I was literally JUST wondering when this would come out!! What amazing timing!
Even though it’s not canon, this is why jango is my favorite Star Wars character. And the mandalorians are my favorite people in Star Wars lore.
I don't care what Disney says, Jango and by extension Boba ARE Mandalorian!
I agree!
That was Lucas but point still stands
Jango is boba isn’t he was a clone and he was born on kamino
I've been looking forward to this
Legends is the true history for those who are elegant, and of a more civilized age...
I don't understand why this was retconned. I made sense as far as Jango's motivation for taking the job as the genetic template.
everything that makes sense now is not allowed
@@goodmind4940 I forgot about that.
Disney has entered the chat
Is this better than the cannon.... “possibly”
Jango Fett is the reason why I love Attack of the Clones a lot.
Thank You MetaNerdz 😊
You guys should totally make the same exact video about Boba Fett and his life story.
Can’t wait for part 2, thank you for this video.
Jango Fett is easily my favorite character in all of Star Wars. Would love to see a remake or remaster of Bounty Hunter
That remaster would be godly among the current games we forced to play and receive. Plus it'd get casual Star Wars fans to look further into Legends.

It’s coming soon
i have some some other one you might want to do
1:obi wan
2:anakin
3:luke
4:part three of ahsoka
5:and maybe a clone idk
Number 4 sounds intresting
And finally Anakin Skywalker

Jango deserves a series of his own, a younger Jango who displays his upcoming in the world of bounty hunters.
Is a great ideea, i want more Jango
Damn man bounty hunter for ps2 brought me back thank you for this
Man, all the dark horse comics and the game itself were amazing. I can't believe they discarded all of this lore
9:43 the mandalorian prince lookin' like a beefsteak and Lord farquad with that gigantic head to body ratio...
Man I loved the Bounty Hunter game back from 2002, straight up childhood memories
I wish this guy had more subs! He totally deserves it
38:32, that smile Zam has when Roz compliments her and how quickly it disappears afterwards
I love this video and everything about it. This took a lot of work to make no doubt. Keep up the good work BTW Jango is my favorite
Love these videos so much hopefully one day you'll cover every aspect of star wars
Jango Fett story sounds really cool and awesome and amazing
Bash me but Jango (at least to me) is the best character in Star Wars. So underrated.
Thank you for doing this great character justice!
Jango’s legend story is much better than Disney’s.
Jango is Mandalorian and always will be
he was then and forever.
And his title as Mandalore is Mandalore the Father
The way this video was constructed was exactly what I had in mind, thank you for giving us this information, and making a cool video in the process, great content.
Jango Fett and by extension Boba Fett are Mandalorians, anyone that says otherwise is not a true Star Wars fan... Yes I said it and I stick by it...
Agreed. this is the way like @darthNexus9570 said anyone who says otherwise is not a true Star Wars fan
Hands down my absolute favorite character in all of Star Wars.
That story of the Jedi killing the mandelorians was heartbreaking 💔
that jango fett game smacked i used to play it on my gamecube, havent thought about that in a hot minuet thx for the nostalgia trip my dude
Great listen, one I didn't just put on in the background, it actually kept me engaged the entire time.
I wonder if Jango Fett knew about Order 66
Yes
He was probably aware there was a bigger game involved. However, his professional courtesy and general behavior would keep him from being to investigative.
Roger Roger
I think the republic commando series says he did since he briefed the alpha arcs on it during training
It seems like he would have been made aware of it for when he trained the clones too. Plus, I mean, the guy was hired because he had murdered Jedi.
The life of the name of Fett carried by Jango and Boba is an incredible showing of Mandalorian growth and beliefs. I know I'm going to enjoy rewatching the full story of Legends Jango and Boba Fett.
The dynamic between Zam, Jango, and Boba was funny af
Loved it. Great video brotha I remember playing the bounty hunter game it was great loved the backstory I still have my dark horse Jango comics from back in the day
I beat this game in 2002 im a big Jango fan and now the game is being remastered 🎉🎉

I thought you were sent to prison 😂
@@flaviomonteiro1414 no talking about the game. XD I've never been arrested irl thankfully.
Thank you for making this!
So glad this is cannon again
I always preferred the legends story of jango fett
first few seconds of the video "who should be mandalorian and who shouldnt"
me reaching for taco bell hot sauce, the packet says "it's a secret" hahahaha perfect timing.
Thank you so much for these! You're voice is perfect for these by the way.
Love these deep drives you do! Keep at it guys!!
This is really well done sir. Bravo.
Bounty Hunter was a great game... good memories of many hours spent with those duel pistols...
Jango fett, a true testament to the old saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
This was released on my birthday and jango fet is one of my favourite star wars characters
I watched a video about Jango only a few days ago. It was also about his life.......
Coincidence? 🤔
Looking forward to part 2 great job
Shouldn't Pre Vizsla be called 'Post Vizsla' if he came after Vizsla?
Jango: I'll take that off your hands...
Seller: how much ya offering?
Jango: Y O U R L I F E
got me dying
Omg Star Wars bounty Hunter will always be the best game ever made imo. My whole childhood
Excited to learn about the fetlife.
I'm glad i found this channel!!
Notice how "The Mandilorian`s ship in the show is almost like Jango`s original ship. Nice homage. Jon Favero and Dave Filoni know what they are doing.
This was awsome....I only just found it....great job thank you
Great commentary bro. Thanks heaps saves me reading a whole lotta comics ✌️😁
Thank you. This was phenomenal!
Who! Go true mandos all the way!
This is the way
Meaning is different then you think
Yo homies this is now officially canon it was confirmed in mando season 2 ep 6
I want Jango Fett to have his own show like Boba Fett
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing this piece of history with us
Thank you for making this video ☺️
It’s brings a whole new meaning to Zebs death when Jango shoots her with the poison dart.
I love Legends Starwars More its more overpowered I want the Umbarans to be more Legends making them even more overpowered.
So glad this is canon now
This game is still awesome, and so is Jango Fett. This deserves to be canon, and I'm sure Temuera Morrison would approve.
This should be cannon, it is a much more honorable background for Jango than the cannon background.
Jango Fett will always be a Mandalorian to me, the last leader of the True Mandalorians.
About 11 or so years ago I got the panel at 15:34 tattooed on my chest. It was my first tattoo and I’ve been into mando culture ever since
This is basically canon now 🙏
Damn. Even captured, Jango Fett was getting action.
I wanna see a Jango Fett/Boba Fett series
Amazing thank you for this💯👍🏽
Now the second book in the Republic Commando series revealed that Jango's sister survived Concord Dawn and became a Bounty Hunter till she was captured by the Empire.
This is one of my favorite vids ever
Love Jango fett
THIS WAS THE JANGO THAT DISNEY DIDN"T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT!
Gotta love when the timeline of Jango Fett starts at 66 BBY
Jango fett: I’ll take that jet pack off your hands
Merchant: Watchu got to offer?
Jango fett: your life .. 😂😂
