#shorts #starwars #bobafett #darthvader Why Did Jango Fett Want His OWN Son in Star Wars? Source: "Age of The Republic - Jango Fett" Music by: @PatrikPietschmann
There is actually a pretty emotional Legends mini-comic called "Being Boba Fett", in which we see how Boba lives day by day, remembering his father's face every time he looks in the mirror before and after sleeping. In that said mini-comic, Boba sets out to assassinate an alleged surviving Jedi of Order 66, but feels unable to kill him in front of his son. The comic ends with Boba looking in the mirror again and saying: "Good night, Dad"
Legends is canon to me. I don’t care what Disney says. Legends is massively better than “canon”, so much more detailed and filled with rich lore, spanning thousands of years in the Star Wars universe.
@@mintz9782 yeah same. And why is it that Disney can't kill off a character in a satisfying way. It's always just either mentioned in conversation or the dead body is shown on screen for a few seconds. Disney could make it interesting and show us so much more.
Indeed. I remember reading a book (I believe it was part of a series) about Boba Fett's life before and during the Clone Wars, where he talks about borrowing books from a droid who seems to cry when he tells it that he's leaving Kamino, watches his father's decapitation in slow motion, and, after running into a clone who says, "Oh, I thought you were one of us", thinks to himself, "I'm not one of you. I'm better."
*Fun fact:* Many decades after Jango's death, Boba and his granddaughter Mirta Gev returned to Geonosis in order to retrieve his remains and give him a propier burial in Mandalore, next to Boba's daughter, Aylin Vel
It's pretty cool that the Fett had the tradition of being loving parents. Even Cassus Fett, one of the greatest war criminals during the Mandalorian Wars, genuinelybwanted a better future for his son
If I recall correctly, parenthood was serious business for Mandalorians. It wasn't just a matter of having a child, it was a major responsibility for the parent, and failure to properly nurture your child (both in training and affection) was one of their greatest dishonors.
@@maazjaved5372I think it’s only second to”hut’uun” which is the worst possible insult in there language and culture. Oh right there are people here who might not know what that means, pronounced as hoo-TOON it means coward in mando’a and is the biggest insult in their culture.
It’s actually something that makes him evil. If you don’t love anybody because you’re Incapable of doing so because there’s something wrong with you, then it’s excusable. If you understand love and capable of that, yet still hurt other people that makes you more evil. I always assumed people like Hitler didn’t care if bad things happen to him or his friends or family when I was a kid because I thought if he didn’t want that to happen to him or other people, he’d understand not to do it to other people. someone who’s like a true psychopath and then capable of love, don’t have quite the same understanding or right or wrong. If you understand do on to others, as you wish to have them due to you and you still commit great evil, then you’re truly evil, being capable of lava and evil, makes you more evil than someone only capable of evil. Just the fact. If Hitler had no Love towards anybody, he’d be less evil than he was.
Yeah man it's sick, totally love it! Though i really loved Boba Fett's armor over the years i've come back to loving Jango's more. However the mandalorian ones in Kotor with trhe diamond slit were just shitty looking back on it!
I mean they are pretty much the same. The Boba Fett books released by Dark Horse during the Clone Wars Era expand on this and we learn after a scuffed burial, Boba recovers his father's armor to use after he grows into it.
@@Neo__Maximus_CarterBoba's armor belonged to Jaster Mereel, who was Jango's mentor and adoptive father, as well as the Mand'alor of the time. When Jaster died, Jango wore this armor when he carried his dead body before his fellow Mandalorians, before being proclaimed the new Mand'alor. It has a history.
Some background for context: Jango was the son of farmers who got killed in the civil war. His dad sided with Jaster and sheltered them on his farm, then Deathwatch found and killed the family. Jaster then took in Jango as a foundling.
Theres also another reason In the game "Star Wars Bounty Hunter" Jangos Boss, Rozz died telling him to love for something other then money. At the end of the game, after his Dna was being cloned, Jango honored the wish by asking for an unaltered clone
Kinda makes you hate mace windu when you realize jango was actually a really good dad. He's just a bounty hunter under some bad people's payroll, trying to make his way in life. Scrath that, he WAS.
Also in the game Star Wars : Bounty hunter, we see Jango's associate Rose tell him multiple times that his way of life is dangerous, and that he should find himself a wife and start a family someday. Rose is killed at some point near the end of the game. So Jango asking for a son is also a tribute to his former associate in some way.
Roz was almost his adoptive mother. She was tough, but constantly trying to get Jango to find some purpose to life other than just an incessant pursuit of money. Jango didn’t really out live Roz by very long, but at least he found some purpose and legacy in his final years.
I dunno man, i kinda liked how they killed off Jango and he was my favourite character in childhood, I think maybe a modern take with Jango with modern graphics maybe prior to the clone wars would be cool. It made Boba's story that more enthralling as a kid i remember when watching Jango get his head chopped off.
Creation doesn’t make you a father or mother but training love and affection goes a much further way. The actors even made the connection in the films process.
As an adopted child, I very much appreciate your comment. I've never understood why so many people place such a premium on "blood" relation. Even after having my son biologically, I still don't understand it. DNA doesn't make you a parent. Love, caring, worrying, and doing everything to give your child the best start in life, is what makes you a parent. Thanks again. 😊
Jango was their enemy. He sided with their enemy and killed many Jedi. A person that doesn't care about the outcome of war and the lives it ruins doesn't deserve mercy or pity.
@@jakejones1814 If you are trying to defend the Jedi Order (and in this case, Windu's actions), you sound just like a Sith... Which probably is why Count Dooku left the Order to begin with, hypocrisy...
@@OmegaM3TE0R Ignoring that Dooku sided with the guy who arranged for the murder of his apprentice, was a corrupt leader himself who pilfered wealth from his own people (And the CIS), and backstabbed his friends...
I like the idea of why jango wanted to be a father because his toidarian friend and carer Roz wanted him to settle down, have a kid. So after her death and when Jango was about accept Dooku's deal he had a moment of thought to pay tribute to his close friend and request an 'unmodified' clone before he accepted being a donor for the clone army. That has a really good reason why jango wanted to be a father than just wanted to be a father. SW bounty hunter has a great story and is a great prequel to episode 2, setting it up for what we all know.
I desperately wanted to get that as a kid man, but my parents couldn't afford a PS or Gamecube for me to play it, so i didn't get it until i was much older when i found a copy of Bounty Hunter somewhere and when i got it i can't remember how little i played it i was just a bit off how nice he was to Roz in the beginning and i was kinda hoping he would just be a hard ass like in the films. It would have been nicer to maybe see him soften as the game went on, but i want that stone face killa to begin with!
@@Neo__Maximus_Carter Jango is a badass in the game, Roz is the only one who he cares about. If you see in the cutscenes, anyone he encounters, he shows how fearful he is to anyone he crosses, kills them if they aren't worth alive and gets whatever information he needs to get his bounty. Imo, the most badass thing he did is on corucant (might've spelled wrong) when he was interrogating the senator. Not sure if you know that from playing more or at least watched the cutscenes if the game's too challenging to beat.
@@bransolo9469 Thanks man, i shoulda clarified i only played the first or second level and was a bit put off by Roz so i might have to revisit it! Thanks for the heads up, i'll try and give it another shot! :)
@@Neo__Maximus_Carter it is a great game trust me. Levels do get a little harder as you progress just a heads up bit trust me, it definitely adds story to jango and sets up star wars episode 2 on the clones. Also you'll meet a rival of jango at the end of chapter one with a familiar voice, I'll give you a hint, he voiced a character in star wars the clone wars so this is his 1st star wars character he voiced
I wouldn't call him a villain. He didn't favor any side or anyone for that matter. To him, everything was about business and completing the job he was being paid to do. He simply did what he had to do to follow through on his contract. As long as he was paid for his services, he didn't care about anything else. It's detailed in the novelization of Attack of the Clones. It also describes how he would spend spare time with Boba, training and bonding with him.
@@thesayerofthelaw Eeeeeehhhh... Palpatine was definitely evil. So were the Separatist council. I mean the Commerce Guild alone was all the worst parts of the Nazi Party with all the worst parts of Amazon...
Jango beat out bounty hunter Montross in a contest orchestrated by Count Dooku unawares. Jango took down Vosa, a former Jedi Master, turned to the Dark Side and queen of the drug empire in the creation, manufacturing, and distribution of death sticks. Dooku explained that a mere man with no force abilities who had the courage and skills to take down Vosa should be copied as soldiers. About 6.5 billion clones?
@seb2750 DO you remember the part of the game where Jango had to leap from transport boxes that was going back and forth over this deep gorge? At that time, I had a problem with heights. I had to get over my fear to get past that part of the game! It took me a while. 😮😅😅
Before Jango became the clone template, his contact for his Bounties encouraged him to settle down and start a family. She later died but he honored her words to some extent.
The Mandalorian sorta expands on this further. With the status of a Mandalorian's... Mandalorian-ness dependent on what one believes in (born on Mandalore vs raised by a Foundling), it opens the possibility that Jango, himself a foundling, wanted Boba to be a Mandalorian based on what he believed in, with the bonus of being a complete copy of him, and trained by him. The Clone Wars and Jango getting killed derailed those plans, and Boba went his own way. Perhaps his want of being a Daimyo on Tattooine is his own way of wanting to establish a legacy, as he was his father's.
Honestly man that would be pretty good but at current times, one i don't want disney to shit on Jango and also Tem's getting pretty old now and i think the cgi isn't quite there yet to vouch for a realistic younger face that isn't unnerving yet so we can still have it voiced by Tem.
No mention of the Bounty Hunter game or Open Season and other comics? His friend and sort of contract handler Rozatta, a toydarian, always hounded him about retiring and starting a family. She felt he had suffered enough in his past and deserved to be happy. His rival montross attacked and tortured her for information. With her dying breath she told jango to find something to live for beside just money. After taking down the bounty on Komari Vosa by Count Dooku and being offered the clone contract, Jango added his condition of an unmodified clone for himself as his son. As an aside, though she and jango never had a romantic relationship, zam wessel took on the role of bobas mother and made a point of bringing boba a book back from trips. Jango taught him to read of course but he focused on technical manuals and non fiction materials while zam got him actual stories for entertainment.
These two were a great duo, the father/son mechanic. Honestly, SW should've focused more on them than the Skywalker family or at least give them more attention.
There’s a dynamic book called “Boba Fett: The Fight To Survive” that takes place just before, during and after Episode II. I remember how in depth and detailed it was. It is the best portrayal of Jango’s affection and Boba’s grief after his father’s death. It is one of the finest EU stories and further proof of why the EU is the true story, not the Disney fairytales.
These books are amazing and really do expand on young Boba's story. It's interesting to see how it works and it kind of clashes with the Clone Wars animated series, as Boba in the books follows a straight path to Jabba, but in the series clearly doesn't do this.
Damn if only we had a movie that could have given us scenes between these two so we could actually sympathize with boba as a character and mourn the death of Jango Fett
Jango fett wasn't only a father to boba but to all the clone troopers that were his sons he didn't have to worry about paying child support he was always ahead 😂😂😂😂😂
To continue his legacy? To have someone to be responsible for, to raise? To pass on his knowledge? Why does anyone want a son or daughter? When I was youngling, my teachers told me "There's no such thing as a stupid question," but I know for a fact that it isn't true.
His friend rozatta told him he should give up bounty hunting and settle down meet a girl and have a kid. Jango told her "not in this lifetime roz." After she was killed by montross and after he defeated komari vosa he chose to have one clone. Unmodified. To honor his friends death.
Boba will always be king of the bounty hunters. But his father has won his place in my heart. Plus back then when Attack of the Clones came out I saw this with my family. My dad loved Jango Fett. And I guess I was my dad's Boba. I even though we had a falling out and haven't seen him in years I just want to say: I love you Dad. I wish I can forgive you. But more importantly I wish I can forgive myself.
Jango loved boba and had no love of compassion for the clones, Boba had respect towards them, sympathetic towards them, didn’t want to kill them unnecessarily, deep down he knew they were his brothers.
The game Bounty Hunter actually portrays Jango Fett on the hunt, getting revenge of the people who wronged Jester (his dad) and through the story he learns there more to life than simply the hunt. I think that why after he defeats the Bando Gora he choose to take the Alpha clone the first one for himself. As being a father, mentor and having someone to look out for and pass on his legacy as one of the last True Mandolorians (not some Death Watch terrorist) fleshed out Jango a lot.
Jango may be a villians from the outside but from deep down inside he just wants a son to continue his legacy and indeed his son has surpassed him in fame and did continue the Fett family legacy.
In the REAL canon Boba became MANDALORE and didn't destroy the planet. Also taught the solo daughter how to fight so she could best her with brother 🤘🏻
I like to think that it has to do with his lost friend, Roz. She told him to settle down, have a kid while he was tracking my that bounty. She died during that time, and I like to think it was partially in her honor. I know Star Wars: Bounty Hunter isn’t canon, but I really don’t care 😂
The cute thing is offset they were close as well. Morrison is just about the most kindhearted man you can find. I think he even got into a habit of calling him "dad" off camera!
