Forum:KB:Jango Fett & his clones

One major point of confusion that I always had concerns the relation between Jango Fett and his clones or at least his role in the Clone Wars. He was hired by Dooku as the host for the Grand Army of the Republic and knew very well that the army was being made for the Republic, yet he was also well aware that Dooku was the leader of the Separatist movement/Confederacy of Independent Systems. Thus, his affiliations confuse me. As a bounty hunter, Jango Fett may have been merely "doing his job" without question, as long as he was paid. But once the clone army was deployed, what part would he have played in it? As in, what part was he meant to play in it? To simplify this question, recall the Battle of Geonosis. Jango Fett, presumably would not have predicted that the clone troopers would arrive at the arena that day to assist the Jedi. Either way, he was killed just before he witnessed this pivotal event, fighting against the Jedi alongside the droids of the CIS. But, had he survived for moments longer to witness the arrival of the clone army, how would he have reacted? He was fighting alongside the CIS at the time, but the Republic's army comprised of his clones. Would he have fought against them? Were the clone troopers programmed to be loyal to Jango Fett as well as the Republic? Would the clone troopers have been surprised to see Jango Fett fighting with the CIS and what would they have thought of it. Would Jango Fett have switched sides?

I know it may appear that I'm asking for a lot of speculative answers ("what if"), but I'm not. In other words, I'm not asking "would Jango Fett have switched sides" as part of a "what-if-scenario" but rather as an example of one of the many questions that will arise from a lack of understanding of his relation with the clone troopers.

In other words, my real question is: what is his affiliation? Has there ever, in fact, been a canonical explanation for what was planned for him (or what he himself planned) if he had survived to see the start of the Clone Wars? How could he have been affiliated with the CIS and yet created an army for the Republic? Did the clone troopers view Jango Fett as a father, not realizing he allied with their enemy? I hope I did not make this question too confusing. Sol Pacificus (talk) 23:50, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
