@@jobi-wankenobi2244 unfortunately bounty hunter is no longer canon and is now legends. I'm pretty sure they re-explained how Dooku hired Jango in a canonical comic.
@@medievaldude7721 That really makes me sad. That's one of the major things I'm upset with at Disney, is that most content that I grew up with (Bounty Hunter, Star Wars Expanded Universe books and comics back in the early 00's, especially the Dark Lord Trilogy that my school had as a singular book, and I read that like there's no tomorrow back in 5th grade) is either being re-written, or cast aside as just non-canon. Truly frustrating.

@@Dogwater They are saying that it makes sense that because of the DNA being stretched, it made it harder to clone which eventually led to the elimination of clones
George Lucas knew how to make a character awesome in one movie and didn't even need a truckload of scenes or dialogue. Just a few well-made scenes and well-written lines and the rest spoken by sheer action. That is art. Something Disney failed miserably to do with their characters.
I like how Boba Fetts “death” was because his jet pack fired when it wasn’t suppose to and Jango Fetts death was because his jet pack wouldn’t fire up. Wonder if they did that on purpose or if it’s just a coincidence
Another fun fact, Jango’s Westar-34 Blaster Pistols and his gloves had special magnets in them that allowed Jango to bring his pistols to him, much like a Jedi who uses the Force to summon his or her lightsaber.
Jango has always been my favorite character with all of his extended content. He is the reason the clone army was as powerful and efficient as they were. He is the reason why Boba Fett even exists not to mention how notorious he became. He is the reason death watch was defeated before TPM and had to reform during the clone wars. He is one of the most important characters in the Star Wars saga and I hope he gets more attention in video games and other forms of Star Wars media. I know Boba Fett has made a great return but let’s not forget the legendary Mandalorian that started it all.
@@dirkauditore8413 If they had, they would have turned him into a buffoon, they would deconstruct him and change the gender of his adoptive father jasteer

Also, while I love George and respect him for his accomplishments and bringing this fantastic universe to us, he has been known to make odd and questionable decisions both in the past and more recently... I wouldn't take comments like his about Jango's backstory to heart... This is the same man that butchered a Darth Maul game because he wanted Maul and Darth Talon to be friends... and the more recent "McKlunky" edit in A New Hope... again I love him, but sometimes you just have to go "wtf"
I like to think in this timeline he WAS a Mandalorian, but he did so much horrible shit that he was cast out but then he stole back his armor and became a bounty hunter
Or maybe Montross was canon in this timeline and he got Jango framed for committing a serious crime and the Death Watch higher ups wiped all records of him from Mandalorian archives, pretending he was some common crook who stole the armor and made a name for himself.
Not to mention that Almech is not a reliable source at all. He bought goods on the black market and sold out to Maul at the first chance he got. Almech has no honor. Almech is not a True Mando'a.

The fact is, you could discard or take as canon whatever EU works you wanted, but The Phantom Menace... you can't take that as not canon, no matter how hard you try. I respect George for bringing us one of the greatest sci-fi franchises ever, but his constant insistence on interfering with both his own work and the work of other brilliant authors annoys me to no end. So, Star Wars fans, take what you want as canon. If you want, listen to Disney. If you want, take Legends as canon. If you're like me, then mix-and-match Legends and Mouse Canon. Just please don't worship George like he's some kind of god or saint. Treat him like what he is: a flawed genius.
The shows are taking loads of liberties with what they consider canon and not. Taking inspiration from both the clone wars and the books/comics. I mean before the mandalorian show any and all mandalorians could remove their helmet .
What if: -Jango Fett survived (Geonosis) -Grievous survived (Utapu) -Darth Maul’s legs survived and (*laughs while saying this) got a mechanical upper body -Maul and Vizsla didn’t betray each other
If Maul and Vizsla hadn't betrayed each other... the Shadow Collective Civil War wouldn't have happened and they would have been more prepared for Sidious. I say more prepared because Sidious is basically a demigod.
What if Jango found out what the Emperors end goal was so he ordered a clone to take his place in battle because Jango has killed many Jedi’s so why make a Jedi kill him. Maybe Jango was a Jedi, who knows.
I remember watching my brothers playing the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter video game, it was pretty cool. And we all thought that this game is considered canon bc it serves as more of an origin story for Jango Fett himself, and I really find this game fascinating.
Tbh nothing about the game contradicts canon except for the inexplicable "not mandalorian" idea. But if Jango is a foundling then many including George may still see it that way and the story works
@@jacobp249 Personally, I never really thought that Jango Fett was considered as one of the mandos. So, I kinda like to stick with the idea that he, along with his clone son Boba are just a family of bounty hunters who rarely have any associations with the Mandolorians what so ever.
In this 2019 interview Dave Filoni makes a point to say that Jango is not Mandalorian by BLOOD. Dave does mention that there were foundlings that were not "True" Mandalorians in that regard, so Jango could've been a foundling like Din (and sorta like in Legends) th-cam.com/video/fPw08Bimr0Y/w-d-xo.html
Who’s here after the newest Episode of Mandolorian where it was revealed that *Spoiler for Mandalorian season 2 episode 6* Jango Fett was a foundling like Din Djarin, and that OFFICIALLY makes Jango and Boba Mandalorians 😁
I like how they changed canon to jango fett was a foundling and that his armor is beskar. I just realized that mace knew how to kill jango by going for the kinks in the armor to behead him.
I can see boba being made a cannon mandalorian in the near future and possibly even have a shot at being made mandalor. I love the way the new season of the mandalorian has been going, it makes me hopeful for our favorite "mandalorian" bounty hunter.
I hate how they just retconned him into not being a Mandalorian.. What purpose does that serve other than to hurt the characters reputation and overall story. It makes him less appealing.
I think it’s Cool, it shows he’s not tied down to them and that he can be more mysterious like Boba and still be a badass, bit having to follow their code only the blunter Hunter code as he’s a bounty Hunter.
It's not really that he isn't Mandalorian. More that he's an outcast. There is so many different Mandalorian faction with different rules and methods that all considers the others to not be true Mandalorians.
I feel like Lucas only did that to spite Boba fans, because he didn't really like how a small side character with few lines/scenes became more popular than most of the main characters. Probably thought taking away Jango's Mandalorian status would in turn ruin Boba's popularity.

I honestly don’t care what Lucas said about Jango‘s backstory at this point. With 90% of the storytelling in your universe is done by others, it’s done collaboratively, and you’re making bank off of it, in my opinion you lose some of your pope level interpretation authority. If he suddenly said Luke was actually Kenobi’s son that should be ignored because it’s obviously incorrect- Anakin and Padme were married, Leia is Luke’s twin and is also confirmed to be a Skywalker, Kenobi didn’t have that kind of relationship with Padme, Kylo, Luke’s nephew, is confirmed to be the grandson of Anakin, etc... Even Lucas shouldn’t have been able to change dozens of books, comics, and game’s lore on a whim.
Completely agree. He put his name on a story and we paid money for it. His attempt to change the story is a betrayal of the people that laid down good money for his story. So, the story is already out, he endorsed it with his name and cashed the checks. Too late Mr. Lucas.
@@2apocalypsex its pretty easy to say “lol chill out” to others about a subject they are passionate about, even though i doubt you would appreciate me telling you to stop being passionate about whatever it is that you like.
@@2apocalypsex I really don’t see the anger in my comment, there isn’t any intentionally there either. I am passionate about the topic- the Fett’s have some of the most fleshed out backstories of any characters in Star Wars, especially when you consider how little screen time they both had. As a creative myself, and as someone who discovered the joy of reading largely through Karen Traviss (who on multiple occasions Lucas happily took the profits of her stories and then decanonized them as soon as something more profitable could take their place) so any time I hear about, “well George said this”, or “well that one source book (many of whom contradict or give out wildly unbelievable numbers) said that” I naturally find that highly irritating. How dare someone give someone permission to permanently add to your mythos, make tons of money off their hard work, and as soon as something else comes along you say “sike” to them and their fans. Maybe the most egregious example is that Obi-Wan Kenobi had a fleshed out backstory about being from Couruscsant and then Lucas said on the Jon Stewart show that he was from “StewJon” and the Star Wars universe had to completely remove a story and change reference books to create a new world, change his backstory, and decanonize stories so that it could fit an off handed comment from George.
Jango was always my favorite character as a kid growing up. I always wore his costume for Halloween. The most OG character in all of Star Wars. Attack of The Clones is a great film too.
I think so too. The way Mando acted. He was ready to blast Cobb just for wearing it. Either that or Mando's going to be super pissed when he finds out that he did all that work for budget Mandalorian armor. Haha
@@Mandalor10 I think he referred to it as bescar and is the reason it was important to getting rid of the invaders. It also shows them shoot it and it doesn't damage it.
I wonder though, because maybe durasteel deflects blaster bolts to a lesser degree. I know that Boba did change pieces of the armor throughout his career based on the books and shows
Bobas armor isn’t Jango’s, he blew up Jango’s armor trying to kill mace windu. So we don’t know where boba got his armor. There’s a theory that he was adopted by mandalorians in his teen years.
Love your way of explaining that line in the clone wars. I've always been a big jango fan. Only thing I didn't know was that his sister survived. To me he's always going to be a Mandalorian and there's been nothing in the new canon that counteracts that.
Honestly, I think Jango was disavowed as a Mandalorian because of Almec’s machinations. Maybe Almec was a member of Death Watch this whole time and wanted to wipe away any remnants of the true warriors of Mandalore by disavowing those who became honorable bounty hunters and mercenaries. When Jango single-handedly wrecked Tor Vizsla’s Death Watch, this was probable cause for Almec to destroy Jango’s legacy.
AlmeC said that Jango Fett was a common thug, and didn't recognize him as a Mandalorian , that's true. But the exact same man would not have recognize any Death Watch members as mandalorian either. Jango was from Concord Dawn , in Canon, wich is in Mandalorian territory. What would have been the opinon of Pre Vizla on Jango, that's a different question .
@@creeg8303 starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Complete_Visual_Dictionary,_New_Edition says that Jango claimed to be from Concord Dawn. I take him as a much more valid source than Amoral Almech.
As mentionned, the visual dictionary (that I haven't read myself). Almec said that all of "all of the Mandalorian warriors where exiled and died on Concordia". In my opinion, Fett was pretty much in a similar situation as Din Djarin. A guy with a mandalorian heritage, that has been kept all his life away from mainland Mandalore.
Hey man just wanted to say how awesome your content has been the past few months, your quality has improved 200% since I subbed back in 2017, you the man much love. Also baby yoda will one day be the grandmaster of the new Jedi order :) in the next trilogy
If Jengo Fett's armor was made of Durasteel, then that means the armor Boba is currently wearing in the tv series The Mandalorian IS also Durassteel, seeing as how he was very clear to explain it was his father's armor. Keep an eye on that to see how his armor holds up to blater rifles etc. I have a feeling things aren't going to make much sense if it's true his armor wasn't made of Beskar.
I like the Idea that the Mandolorains would reject the idea of Jango being one of there own it’s kinda like Rambo coming back from the war he fought for his people’s freedom yet now after the war is over they reject him and cast him out
Interesting to see that they used a lot of the visuals from Jango’s backstory in making Dyn Jarren, like the mandalorian that carries him away as the other ones continue to open fire.
Hey Man, you really do just turn out quality stuff every day. really appreciate it. Like its inspiring that you put so much into it. shout out to you boss
I may have gotten the shows mixed up since i watched them together lol but i know they said boba's armor was beskar. They may have mentioned it in book of boba too, I forget
where the hell do i begin here. Jango is my second favorite Star Wars character. Episode II drew me in, Bounty Hunter got me hooked and the comics sealed the deal. he is a very interesting character. yeah he is a bounty hunter, but one with a code of Honor. and a loving father ( theres a comic where he gets back from a mission and Boba want to play but Fett has to head out again. but still chooses to play with his son ). hell i barely knew who Boba was till Jango appeared. after seeing how bad ass he was i wanted to learn more about his son. which yeah he is also a bad ass. this was an awesome vid. thank you so much for making it.
Jango Fett isn't Mandalorian....because in world people made an arbitrary non-evidence supported claims that he isn't despite all his story proving that he is. What does this mean? Jango is Mandalorian, but a black sheep, like a excommunicated Catholic. That's the story I'm sticking to cause thats whats been published. Stop listening to Filoni or Lucas or anyone. Just look at what is published.
True but in the case of Jango being a Mandalorian in legends obviously George didn’t like it, for whatever reason he allowed it to be published in legends. Perhaps he sees that bit legends in legends.

I remember watching my brothers playing the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter video game, it was pretty cool. And we all thought that this game is considered canon bc it serves as more of an origin story for Jango Fett himself, and I really find this game fascinating.
Tbh nothing about the game contradicts canon except for the inexplicable "not mandalorian" idea. But if Jango is a foundling then many including George may still see it that way and the story works
@@jacobp249 Personally, I never really thought that Jango Fett was considered as one of the mandos. So, I kinda like to stick with the idea that he, along with his clone son Boba are just a family of bounty hunters who rarely have any associations with the Mandolorians what so ever.
Temuera Morrison was perfect for Jango, Boba, and the clones.
George introduced Jango as a Mandolorian bounty hunters a while back
Literally the only reason people even cared about mandalorians is because of Boba and Jango.
No duh they were the first mandolorians
@@lqll7965 yep which is why it’s weird that they aren’t considered mandos now
@@SlobDooku till today
@@Cambria358 dude I’m so happy! That was an amazing episode, so glad they made Jango’s story canon again
Jango is a True Mando, no matter what anyone says.
absolutely
Mandalorian legend.
@@eddieguererro46 💯
Now that debate has been put to rest thanks to the new mandalorian episode, thank god
Jango was a Foundling, confirmed!
"Boba Fetts Dad" Had no idea lol
Bru
probably just for the youtube algorithm since Boba Fett has been trending due to the mandalorian
Jango is not Bobba's father
@@thulsa_doom correct
Boba is just a clone of Jango that he wanted to raise himself I think
In this 2019 interview Dave Filoni makes a point to say that Jango is not Mandalorian by BLOOD. Dave does mention that there were foundlings that were not "True" Mandalorians in that regard, so Jango could've been a foundling like Din (and sorta like in Legends)
th-cam.com/video/fPw08Bimr0Y/w-d-xo.html
pfft. NO ONE is a mandalorian "by blood". At least, that was true in Legends.
To follow their way of life is to be a mandalorian
Well your wish is granted
@@redhood7650 yup. And it was glorious.

@@ThibautKurt23 me too
Who’s here after the newest Episode of Mandolorian where it was revealed that *Spoiler for Mandalorian season 2 episode 6*
Jango Fett was a foundling like Din Djarin, and that OFFICIALLY makes Jango and Boba Mandalorians 😁
We have failed as a community if people don't know Jango is Boba's dad.
I like how they changed canon to jango fett was a foundling and that his armor is beskar. I just realized that mace knew how to kill jango by going for the kinks in the armor to behead him.
I can see boba being made a cannon mandalorian in the near future and possibly even have a shot at being made mandalor. I love the way the new season of the mandalorian has been going, it makes me hopeful for our favorite "mandalorian" bounty hunter.
Jango Fett is probably one of the most important bounty hunters in Star Wars because he is the creator of the clone army.
He created Rex, Cody, faie, doom, thorn, and millions of other clones.
I hate how they just retconned him into not being a Mandalorian.. What purpose does that serve other than to hurt the characters reputation and overall story. It makes him less appealing.
I think it’s Cool, it shows he’s not tied down to them and that he can be more mysterious like Boba and still be a badass, bit having to follow their code only the blunter Hunter code as he’s a bounty Hunter.
It's not really that he isn't Mandalorian. More that he's an outcast. There is so many different Mandalorian faction with different rules and methods that all considers the others to not be true Mandalorians.
I never understood that.
Could they have done it to explain why boba was clumsy in return of the Jedi ?
I feel like Lucas only did that to spite Boba fans, because he didn't really like how a small side character with few lines/scenes became more popular than most of the main characters. Probably thought taking away Jango's Mandalorian status would in turn ruin Boba's popularity.
It's only for people to find out with the new boba fett series that is coming that will explain it all
In the Mandalorian his armor is Beskar and not Durasteel

So please if you read this please consider making a video on her. Also I love your videos and I watch all them and I have learned so much. Thank You!
Seeing Boba in action again in The Tragedy was amazing
I honestly don’t care what Lucas said about Jango‘s backstory at this point.
With 90% of the storytelling in your universe is done by others, it’s done collaboratively, and you’re making bank off of it, in my opinion you lose some of your pope level interpretation authority.
If he suddenly said Luke was actually Kenobi’s son that should be ignored because it’s obviously incorrect- Anakin and Padme were married, Leia is Luke’s twin and is also confirmed to be a Skywalker, Kenobi didn’t have that kind of relationship with Padme, Kylo, Luke’s nephew, is confirmed to be the grandson of Anakin, etc...
Even Lucas shouldn’t have been able to change dozens of books, comics, and game’s lore on a whim.
Completely agree. He put his name on a story and we paid money for it. His attempt to change the story is a betrayal of the people that laid down good money for his story. So, the story is already out, he endorsed it with his name and cashed the checks. Too late Mr. Lucas.
@@nawalli lmao it’s not that serious.
@@thebrickstudios9 I totally agree with you, such anger in some of these Star Wars fans
@@2apocalypsex its pretty easy to say “lol chill out” to others about a subject they are passionate about, even though i doubt you would appreciate me telling you to stop being passionate about whatever it is that you like.
@@2apocalypsex
I really don’t see the anger in my comment, there isn’t any intentionally there either.
I am passionate about the topic- the Fett’s have some of the most fleshed out backstories of any characters in Star Wars, especially when you consider how little screen time they both had.
As a creative myself, and as someone who discovered the joy of reading largely through Karen Traviss (who on multiple occasions Lucas happily took the profits of her stories and then decanonized them as soon as something more profitable could take their place) so any time I hear about, “well George said this”, or “well that one source book (many of whom contradict or give out wildly unbelievable numbers) said that” I naturally find that highly irritating.
How dare someone give someone permission to permanently add to your mythos, make tons of money off their hard work, and as soon as something else comes along you say “sike” to them and their fans.
Maybe the most egregious example is that Obi-Wan Kenobi had a fleshed out backstory about being from Couruscsant and then Lucas said on the Jon Stewart show that he was from “StewJon” and the Star Wars universe had to completely remove a story and change reference books to create a new world, change his backstory, and decanonize stories so that it could fit an off handed comment from George.
Jango was always my favorite character as a kid growing up. I always wore his costume for Halloween. The most OG character in all of Star Wars. Attack of The Clones is a great film too.
Same
I like boba more then jango now tho
I think his armor is actually bescar now. Bobas armor acted like bescar in the mandalorian and it was originally jangos.
I think so too. The way Mando acted. He was ready to blast Cobb just for wearing it. Either that or Mando's going to be super pissed when he finds out that he did all that work for budget Mandalorian armor. Haha
@@Mandalor10 I think he referred to it as bescar and is the reason it was important to getting rid of the invaders. It also shows them shoot it and it doesn't damage it.
That's how it should be
I wonder though, because maybe durasteel deflects blaster bolts to a lesser degree. I know that Boba did change pieces of the armor throughout his career based on the books and shows
Bobas armor isn’t Jango’s, he blew up Jango’s armor trying to kill mace windu. So we don’t know where boba got his armor. There’s a theory that he was adopted by mandalorians in his teen years.
Love your way of explaining that line in the clone wars. I've always been a big jango fan. Only thing I didn't know was that his sister survived. To me he's always going to be a Mandalorian and there's been nothing in the new canon that counteracts that.
#11: He loved AxNxAxL
The first month of the year always flies by, it's easy to lose your head.
Jango bye fast.
Honestly, I think Jango was disavowed as a Mandalorian because of Almec’s machinations. Maybe Almec was a member of Death Watch this whole time and wanted to wipe away any remnants of the true warriors of Mandalore by disavowing those who became honorable bounty hunters and mercenaries. When Jango single-handedly wrecked Tor Vizsla’s Death Watch, this was probable cause for Almec to destroy Jango’s legacy.
"or at least a Boba Fett spin-off"
Oh boy, do I have something to tell you
AlmeC said that Jango Fett was a common thug, and didn't recognize him as a Mandalorian , that's true.
But the exact same man would not have recognize any Death Watch members as mandalorian either.
Jango was from Concord Dawn , in Canon, wich is in Mandalorian territory. What would have been the opinon of Pre Vizla on Jango, that's a different question .
i mean we all know jango is a mandalorain despite what the new mandalorians say
Almech is also a black marketeer and sold out to Maul at the first chance he got. He has no honor and is no True Mando'a.
Do you have a canon source that says he is from Concord Dawn. I remember it in Legends but I thought that was retconned.
@@creeg8303 starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Complete_Visual_Dictionary,_New_Edition says that Jango claimed to be from Concord Dawn. I take him as a much more valid source than Amoral Almech.
As mentionned, the visual dictionary (that I haven't read myself). Almec said that all of "all of the Mandalorian warriors where exiled and died on Concordia".
In my opinion, Fett was pretty much in a similar situation as Din Djarin. A guy with a mandalorian heritage, that has been kept all his life away from mainland Mandalore.
"Your father was a Foundling."
"Yes.... He even fought in the Mandalorian Civil Wars."
Hey man just wanted to say how awesome your content has been the past few months, your quality has improved 200% since I subbed back in 2017, you the man much love.
Also baby yoda will one day be the grandmaster of the new Jedi order :) in the next trilogy
he was cloned 200,000 times, with a million more times well on the way.
Jango fett is still one of my favorite characters, and has been for a long time.
I was teaching my class about the high ground but this is more important
If Jengo Fett's armor was made of Durasteel, then that means the armor Boba is currently wearing in the tv series The Mandalorian IS also Durassteel, seeing as how he was very clear to explain it was his father's armor. Keep an eye on that to see how his armor holds up to blater rifles etc. I have a feeling things aren't going to make much sense if it's true his armor wasn't made of Beskar.
I like the Idea that the Mandolorains would reject the idea of Jango being one of there own it’s kinda like Rambo coming back from the war he fought for his people’s freedom yet now after the war is over they reject him and cast him out
Interesting to see that they used a lot of the visuals from Jango’s backstory in making Dyn Jarren, like the mandalorian that carries him away as the other ones continue to open fire.
Jango was slaughtered “LIKE A BANTHA”
😫
Jangos mandalorian again, thanks to the latest mandalorian ep
Now its official Jango was a Mandalorian;)
Fact #1: He's just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe.

Boba mentioned that his armor which he got from Jango was made from beskar in the Book of Boba Fett.
When? Which episode ? 😲 i dont remember
@@Pandorasoul Episode "The Tragedy"
@@zero604 I thought The Tragedy was an episode from The Mandalorian Season 2.
I may have gotten the shows mixed up since i watched them together lol but i know they said boba's armor was beskar. They may have mentioned it in book of boba too, I forget
@@zero604 ok, I will look it up !
where the hell do i begin here. Jango is my second favorite Star Wars character. Episode II drew me in, Bounty Hunter got me hooked and the comics sealed the deal. he is a very interesting character. yeah he is a bounty hunter, but one with a code of Honor. and a loving father ( theres a comic where he gets back from a mission and Boba want to play but Fett has to head out again. but still chooses to play with his son ). hell i barely knew who Boba was till Jango appeared. after seeing how bad ass he was i wanted to learn more about his son. which yeah he is also a bad ass.
this was an awesome vid. thank you so much for making it.
What if I took Luke to Dagobah when he was a baby and Obi Wan raised Leia as his own daughter?
Give up, I will not.
Until a video, this becomes.
Persistence, the true trait of a jedi
Your destiny, you must follow.
Two years prior and you called the Boba Fett spin-off show. Way to go and very cool video.
I never met him. When he died, I was still a youngling at the jedi council.
He was the best
I was still a kid at the time too
This comment section wild lol
i am one if his sons, i fought at the battle of geonosis, sad seeing dad die like that
Ah, but now The Book of Boba Fett calls Boba's armor beskar, and The Mandelorian, Boba refers to his armor as belonging to his father
*The Mandalorian:* "I'm a true Mandalorian."
*Jango:* "You're cute."
So many memories of Star Wars bounty hunter when first playing it during 1st grade.
WHAT
I was literally looking for a video exactly like this this morning and couldn’t find one.
Honestly I was a bit disappointed after seeing how he died😂
Honestly, it made him seem super weak despite his past, just like grievous. Both killed in the movies they were introduced in.
@@sunmaw108 In Jango's defense, his jetpack malfunctioned as you can see by the sparks before he got no-headed. Grievous was simply clowned on.
@@diddlypoop True. I guess he didn't have a flamethrower either, cause that would have been a good time to use it.
@@sunmaw108 Jango did have a flamethrower. Also it's Mace Windu. Arguably the strongest jedi in the entire order and Jango was taking him on.
@@sharkquisha3407 Also true...okay I give up, both of you make good points.

FACT 1: jango is hot
gay bruh u sus
9:31 "Maybe a Boba Fett spin-off show" Kinda predicted that didn't you
Jango Fett isn't Mandalorian....because in world people made an arbitrary non-evidence supported claims that he isn't despite all his story proving that he is. What does this mean? Jango is Mandalorian, but a black sheep, like a excommunicated Catholic. That's the story I'm sticking to cause thats whats been published. Stop listening to Filoni or Lucas or anyone. Just look at what is published.
It certainly makes Jango a way more fun, colorful, and fleshed out character if we consider all of the published material of him to be canon.
I like your analogy it helped me understand the character
True but in the case of Jango being a Mandalorian in legends obviously George didn’t like it, for whatever reason he allowed it to be published in legends. Perhaps he sees that bit legends in legends.
Now Jango and Boba have Baskar armor, rather than the basic steel and plast replicas. Peeeerrrrrfect
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
