Is Jango's helmet made up of Mandalorian Iron?  I never really gave it thought.

The point is that unless it was made of tin or something it takes a hell of a lot more then a little bump of the head on the bulk head to put that sort of dent on a military grade helmet; in the past, present, and I'd hope in SW

He gets beskar armor for the first time in Revelation (Legacy of the Force).

Also, in a semi-canon Tales comic, when Boba's usual armor is stolen, he uses Jango's.

when his armor is STOLEN?????  Don't care how canon that is, it's going in my trash list.

Also, AMAZING pic of Boba you found Sadriel!!!!  The one of him standing in the carbon freezing chamber *I think, the one with the smoky/orange background*.  Wish I had that in life size!  big_smile

On topic, I don't know much of anything about the EU, but Sev's argument seems to wrap it up pretty well, and Sadriel's pics prove Jango's and Boba's arn't the same.

However, I don't agree with the 'head bump' theory, unless we're saying Mandalorian iron is a LOT softer then I was led to believe.  Where ever Jango got his, I don't think it was from that scene.

Here's some pics for reference:

This is when Jango gets his dent:

Here, you can see he has it, as he's shooting the long-headed Jedi on the Balcony of the Arena, before he fights the Reek:

Here are some really good close ups of the helmet that Star Wars chick took of the actual costume at the 2005 Paris L'Expo:

Now, here are some Boba helmet pics to compare it to:

The dent really stands out on the pre-production version that was painted white, before they decided not to go with the "Imperial Bounty Hunter" theme (This was taken from one of the Lucas Film Star Wars Photo Archives books):

Wow!!  Didn't mean to put so many pics on here, but you see what I'm saying?

the reek throws him with its horns and dents his helmet.
it is canon, it is on film.
it is that simple.
and i am possitive.

Enemy of the Empire is the most conclusive evidence there is.  The entire Jango thing is weak as it is positioned differently.  As Jaster said a while back he got the dent when Vader reflected the bolt back at him and hit him in the head.  The helmet was consistently clear until that point in time where it appeared. 

This all goes back to your view of EU but to me this explanation works.  That is all.

more specifically-does he have that blade that comes out of them?, as seen in the obi fight.

And with saint_nasty's picture I believe you can faintly see a dent of sorts.

2. There is no actual proof that Boba did not die.
3. That is not really on topic.
