Poll: Jango Fett or Boba Fett?

I am now convinced that whoever released these books simply comes up with outrageous cop-outs to please SW fans. First time I heard about how in the books Boba Fett inexplicably survived, I shrugged it off as one of those things, but now I'm positive.

Well it was a schoolastic book of a friend of mine's little cousin.....

IT WAS STILL COOL!

Off the current films - Jango

If Ep. III has Bobo getting revenge on Mace, things might change. Personally, I couldn't understand how Bobo became so popular. He had so little screen time. Hell, Darth basically hands him Han Solo and he whines "He's no good to me dead" (well then maybe you should have caught him yourself). Screaming like a cheerleader to your death doesn't help either. As for what the books say, screw em', they're not cannon, until an ep. 7 comes out, he's dead.

The title of this thread reminded me of that old Budwiser Commercial where a bunch of guys were shooting pool saying thigs like (but not nessisarily) "ok... Ginger or Mary Ann" and they all were like "Mary Ann". I would have said so too, but as time wears on I think I'm leaning more towards the Ginger side.

Long story short, I assumed this thread was 2 pages of homosexuality. In which case, I would have said, "Mace Windu probably has 'Bad Mother Fucker' etched into the side of his Lightsaber" because I don't think either Fett is sexy at all.

Jango, far and away.

Look, I dig Boba as much as anyone else does, and yes, his older, more weather-worn armor looks just as cool as Jango's shiny set. But yes, I'm aboard with the boat that he really didn't do much of anything in the original trilogy, save some very brief combat aboard the slave ships on Tatooine. Really, he was just a relatively minor, ancillary character who's barely even mentioned by name, but became such an unexpectedly huge hit for George that he went out of his way to please fans by building this big backstory about him and his father.

Which is why Jango, as one of the chief villains in Ep 2, is so much better. Much more well-developed character, better fight scenes, actually get to see him pilot Slave 1 in battle. Hell, the guy killed a Jedi with one pistol, ONE PISTOL! A Jedi knight in his prime is supposed are supposed to be able to deflect small amounts of incoming blaster fire away like toothpicks, but he just absolutely schools him using only one of his two pistols.

And honestly, if his jetpack hadn't been damaged preventing him from being able to take off or fire his missile, and/or he'd actually been able to use his second pistol, Jango might have actually killed Mace instead of the other way around. It was a cheap, albeit cool-looking death

I've read (in a review, nothing official) that Darth Maul actually never killed anyone (besides Qui Gon, of course). He had just trained all his life to be a badass, but when the time came his arrogance got the better of him.

Not his arrogance. Lucas wrote his death to be stupid. If comparing the skills, Maul was clearly better skilled fighter, than both Qui Gon and Obi Wan. He used better tactics and strategy, like separating 2 Jedi in the right moment, and his unique 2 Edge Light Saber style was totally new for Jedi, and they didnt know how to fight and defend against it. After finishing Qui Gon, he WOULD HAVE easily kill Obi Wan, if it wasnt for GOOD GUYS MUST WIN, and Obi appearing in future films. But what sucks is that insted of COOL death, like Maul deserved, Lucas made him to die like complete idiot, just running around hangin Obi Wan, making stupid faces !!!!!! What about simply using Force Push on Obi? And then conviniently Obi get his saber, flies out and kills Maul !!! I wanted to leave the theater, the movie was ruined for me

Hey, you should have just looked at who started this thread and known that the words "Dolemite" and "homosexuality" don't go in the same sentance, unless he's accusing someone else of being gay. This is actually a VERY manily thread where we're discussing the bas-ass merits of two bad-asses.


As for how Jango, Boba, and Maul died, it seems that stupid villians that just stand there like retards and let the good guy kill them tend to be a unchangable fact in the Star Wars movies. I'm sure that Anakin will Duel with Tyranus again in Ep. 3 and, after kicking Anakin's ass for 20 minutes, Tyranus will stop to pick up a dime or admite a sunset or something and leave himself wide open to a wicked decapitation. Bullshit.


And many of you make great arguements as to who is the bigger bad ass, Jango or Boba. I'd like to think that they're about equal, since Boba IS supposed to be a clone of his dad. Ragnarok the Red made a great point in that Lucas probably never guessed how popular Boba would become, and he went out of his way to give the fans what they wanted in Episode 2 and beefed up the whole impact Fett had on events. I'm sure if Lucas knew Boba would be so big his role in the original trilogy would have been bigger. After all, in the special editions, additionl Fett scenes were filmed and added. As totally cool Jango is, if I had to choose one I'd probably go with Boba. But it'd be close, very close.

Hopefully Boba will be older in Episode 3 and kick Mace Windu's ass.

A good title for the third one would be "Star Wars Episode III: Journey Into Darkness"

nah, im thinking it will be "Fall of The Republic" or "Rise of The Empire"

I hope Jar Jar doesn't die in the third movie, so maybe later on Lucas can insert a scene in the original trilogy where he beats Chewie at space chess and then the wookie tears his arms off (it would be easy to do in cgi) and beats him to death with them
If any of you are fans of the guy who played Jango, he was in a movie years ago called Once Were Warriors. I don't remember much about it, except that he plays an abusive asshole dad and the whole cast is made up of these aboriginal people from Australia or New Zealand. There is this gang of them that are covered in these badass black tatooes, really wild looking.

Jango man had a cool name too, Jake the Muss.
