How about we all agree that the way things were done so poorly, had more to do with the crappy screenplay writers and less than with the characters themselves.

Unfortunately the actions of our favorite Mandalores are limited by poor character development in a highly biased storyline.

Let's just hope the upcoming Boba Fett TV show doesn't suffer the same tragic fate...

Thanx Sev,
Im perfectly willing to back up my opinions, if offered a direct challenge. Yes, they are opinions. Last I checked I was entitled to a few of those...

I meant to say that lack of Jango's character motivation and reasons for some of his poor choices in the movie were limited by screen writer's portrayal. They had to focus more on other aspects, using Jango's termination of Zem Wessel as a plot device. Unfortunately, such unclear actions are judged by fans on these boards as grounds to knock on Jango.

In some of Jango's comics, like the one with the Mandalore Vs. Jedi battle that proceeds his deal with Darth Tyrannus to offer his services on Kamino, Jango's ability really shines.

Different writers= better portrayal of Jango.

Is that backup enough for you, Sev?

su'cuy vode!

Kandosii! I couldn't put the book down. I love how KT explores the Mando'ade subculture of the SW expanded universe. To see Kal'buir and the boys a few steps closer to their goals made me happy. Im not ashamed to admit there were a few tearjerker moments for me, as well as a few good laughs.

Kal'buir's the baddest sheb of all.

Until the next book...

Oya Vode!

Mel, I understand where you might have been unmotivated. However, as a fellow Fett fan, Im of the opinion that Bloodlines was by far the best chance I've gotten to truly understand Boba Fett as a man and what truly motivates him. Trust me, I dont rely on the blurbs anyway, they never do the books justice. Try again. Who knows?

As for what Novall Talon said:

I whole-heartedly agree...

Hey gay or not as long as the job gets done...

I dont understand these ridiculous topics sometimes...
...why am I posting?...

...thought you should know what a waste I think topics like these are. Not that I'm knocking you all... Whatever floats your boats, I guess...

...my 2 cents...

Since the only video game format I have right now is my PSP (complete with system hack, SNES and Capcom emulators, and my trusty 4gb memory stick), SW Renegade squadron was a nice little break between Monster Hunter Freedom 2, and mindless musings thru some old school games via my emulators.

I like that you can play with the likes of Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, IG-88, and yes, even pistol wielding, infinite orbital-strike launching Admiral Ackbar.

However Im quite partial to my Chain-gun slinging, jet packed, command post jacking customized trooper, holding his position and eating through 4 to 1 odds (not in my favor, of course), like a vibroblade through hot butter in Galactic Conquest mode.

Flying the Slave-1 in Space Assault mode was pretty cool too...

All in all, I rate the game at a 7/10...simply because it kills time...

The one thing no one's mentioned on this topic: My sense of Duty.

Boba Fett's armor is green. In Mando'a tradition, beskar'gam (Mando'a armor) is painted to reflect a Mando's personal driving force. Black represents Justice, Green is Duty, and Gold is Vengeance (those are the only colors I know, so far).

Boba's number one drive is his sense of duty to his father, the man who taught him what it is to be a man.

That's what I have in common with Boba Fett.

Both the actors sucked, tho the one playing Anakin sucked more.

The actor playing Anakin was the whiniest of the two.

I think young Boba would kick young Anakin's sheb for sure.

I know Im pretty late as far as this thread goes, but I just wanted to agree with Sintas Vel. Im 28 and my girl and I have been together for 15 months (longest relationship Ive ever had BTW), and its not easy. PPL around her are getting married and engaged and having babies, and we've decided to postpone any "official" engagement for after we've gotten our own apartment together and settled in and stuff. She's applying for her Masters in the fall, and Im looking for a better job while consolidating all my school loans...blah, blahblah...

Point is, focus on what you know you need to do. Life has a way of setting you on the right path, ad'ike (little ones.)

listen to what us old folk have to say.

Vir'buir (Papa Vir) loves you, lol...

oya vod'ike (let's go hunt little brothers/sisters)!

su'cuy vode!

Im a dude. I think its awesome so many chicks are in this club, especially since Mandalorians have no distinction between gender, males and females kick shebs just the same. My girl just laughs at me for being such a die hard Fett and Mando'a fan (i laugh at her Judge Judy and Bridezilla obsessions, so i think we're even on that note, but i guess thats what love's all about...)

Keep up the fight!

oya Vode!

Boba Fett is chillin on Mandalore, helmet off, laid back in his durasteel patio lawnchair watching the little Mando boys play little Mando war games. The sun is setting and he's content to reminisce on his long, prestigious career as the galaxy's baddest sheb of all.

Buy'ce in his lap, he absentmindedly dusts it off, while sipping his Corellian whiskey, and thinks , "Yes, yes I am the galaxy's baddest man. Fierfek, no one else has done what I've done. I fought Darth Vader to a standstill, I took out the entire Bounty Hunter's Guild, and I roundhouse kicked the Yuzhan Vong dead in their ugly, tattooed faces. Not to mention laughed at death straight in it's face, countless times. Not bad. Not bad at all." He raises his glass towards the sunset, "Here's to you dad."

S'cuy vode!

i know im new to the boards, but I was tracking this debate, and I was wondering why ppl even bothered to compare Jaster Mareel and Jango Fett. In my opinion, its like apples and oranges...Each man's got his own history and skill set. I think they've both got their pros and cons. You want to talk about a great Mando? Let's talk about what Kal Skirata did for the tragic clones...now there's a true Mando'a!

kandosii!
