what if jango survived?

Jango fett- creativ, expensive, and cool bounty hunter. Used to create clones for the republics clone army, he only asked for one thing besides his huge payment- a clone without any meddling. He died, unfortudently.

Boba was his personal expeirement, What was his potential if he had had a father who cared? So what would happen? would we see images like this?

What gives you the impression Jango didnt care about his "son"?

I think he's saying how would Boba have turned out if he still had a loving parent alive past the Battle of Geonosis.

EDIT: BTW Jazz, that picture's awesome.

I don't know how much better Boba would turn out. Maybe he wouldn't have nearly the kind of brooding personality he had in the OT.

Also, I would imagine he would learn more about Mandalorian culture, assuming his father didn't leave some sort of library behind. Might have impacted his decision to resurrect the Mandalorians (sort of) in the NJO. It may have happened sooner.

I think he meant "father who cared throughout his life rather than get his head lopped off when his son was ten."

Seeing that picture made me realize why I liked Boba's look better. Less pristine and "plasticky".

Slave-1's setup seemed to imply that it was meant for two people, and yet we never see Boba Fett work with anyone that closely AFAIK. The father-son relationship might be the only thing close enough for either to work with anyone.

Though I fear the stories that would've come out with TWO Fetts working together...

The Mandalorian Empire would be resurrected and trash the GE or the NR, whichever is around at the time. Then the Vong would have their asses handed to them by the Mandalorians.

And Boba would have never fell into the Sarlacc. I always hated that.

*Jango outstretches hand to Boba* Join me, and together we shall rule the galaxy as father and son!

heh heh... But here's another question, what happended to slave 1? the aotc one looks bigger than his esb

one. So what happened? And I didn't mean no lve expeirement, I ment, he wanted to see what would happen if he had a "papa".

VFX blooper perhaps? Slave-1 is stated to be 21.5 meters long regardless of who owned it.

He seemed like a bloodthirsty little brat, but perhaps his primary motivation for becoming a bounty hunter was to carry on his father's legacy. Note the whole thing he does with the helmet in the Geonosis Arena. It's like he's trying to channel his soul or something.

I don't think he was genetically predisposed to become what Jango was, he could have done anything with his life from that point on. Who took care of him? He was only 12 at the time. Did he go back to Lama Su, Taun Wee and the Kaminoeans? Who knows... but I think his dad's death pushed him onto that road of trying to live up to the old man.

And I DO HEAR his accent after all. In that line "Taun Wee's here" he does sound a bit like Jango. I missed that before.

The Jazz Intern · Post by **The Jazz Intern** » 2005-06-11 01:16am

Well, they made little action figures like the hero clicks that have a young jango listed as a young mercernary, but thats lowww canon. I think it's also in a book a friend told me about.

By the time he was 13, Boba Fett was an established enough bounty hunter to dictate his own terms to an Inquisitor. My guess is that if Jango hadn't been offed, the Fetts would've been able to carve out a little Mandolarian protectorate for themselves without the Empire giving them too much trouble.

There are multiple slave-1’s, as well as similiar back-up ships.

Would there have been anyone capable of evading them?

So in 1 year he became a bounty hunter? Picking up scumbags at age 13? Crapola! Did he wear miniature mandalorian armor too?

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2005-06-11 02:19am

3 yrs, methinks. Counting the Clone Wars.

Hey, I'm only spouting what I know. Don't believe me, read Last of the Jedi. Decent for a Scholastic book.

You know, that would actually make a fascinating AU if it were written correctly. Also he could have added something else to the Clone Troopers, or at least the ARC Troopers, what if they were loyal to him more than to the Republic...

From the novel "The Mandalorian Armour":

"The ancient Mandalorian warriors, whose lethal battle-gear he wore, had been just as coldly ruthless, according to the legends that were still told and retold in whispers throughout the galaxy. Long ago, when he (Boba Fett) had first gazed upon one of their empty helmets, a relic of an extinguished terror, he had seen in its narrow, unreadable gaze an image of his own future, of the death-bringing entity he would become."

It gives me the creeps to think, that this was written years prior to AOTC. Young Boba kneeling before his fathers empty helmet.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2005-06-11 11:58am

Of course, this all begs the question that if Jango had survived Geonosis (perhaps only being knocked out by Mace or something) would he, and thus Boba, have stayed with the CIS for any period of time. Would he have become one of Dooku's Jedi killers like Durge, or would he have departed like he did from the Kaminoians?

The Grim Squeaker · Post by **The Grim Squeaker** » 2005-06-11 12:01pm

Probably a jedi killer, his entire adopted family was killed by jedi (+ Dooku)

I haven't read NJO either, but the Wikipedia entry for Mandalorians indicate that Boba Fett started a group that sort of harkens back to the Mandalorians. I can't tell which book or books mention this, though. The people who wrote the wikipedia entry don't seem to be so good with sources.

It was the Unifying Force. Boba and his group only make a small cameo.
