Jango Fett/Legends

"I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe."

- Jango Fett

Jango Fett was a renowned bounty hunter and the "father" of Boba Fett (his clone). Fett was the leader of the Mandalorians from 52–34 BBY, and later served as the template for the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Weapons
Jango Fett wore the signature armor of the Mandalorians, restored by the Governor of Galidraan. Fett was also armed with Westar-34 twin Dallorian blasters, BlasTech Dur-24 wrist laser, Czerka ZX miniature flame projector, Kamino Toxic Darts (among other kinds). Fett's left gauntlet also had a Kelvarex Consolidated Arms MM9 mini concussion rocket, which utilized computer target tracking. Fett used Type-12A anti-personnel rockets, Type-12B stun rockets, and Merr Soww 1126 rockets.

He had two jetpacks, one of which was a Merr-Sonn JT-12; the jetpack was personally manufactured for Jango Fett by Merr-Sonn Munitions prior to the Clone Wars.

The JT-12 was a compact jetpack featuring a warhead missile launcher. This model was similar to the more heavily-armored Mitrinomon Z-6 jetpack. Both models were favored by Jango.

The Mitrinomon Z-6 was a more common model of jetpack used by the Mandalorians. Many famous Mandalorians used this type of jetpack, including Jango Fett and Boba Fett. The jetpack included a targeting computer, flight gyros, and a missile/grapple launcher.

Oddly enough, both Jango and Boba were thwarted by their jetpacks: while fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino, Jango's jetpack detached itself and flew out of control, exploding against a column. Also during Jango's final battle, it was the malfunction of his jetpack that ultimately resulted in his death. Likewise, while battling Luke Skywalker over the Pit of Carkoon, Boba's jetpack was accidentally activated by Han Solo, launching him into the side of Jabba's sail barge and into the Sarlacc.

Vehicles
After the death of his mentor, Jaster Mereel, Jango inherited Mereel's personal ship. Renaming it Jaster's Legacy, he used it in many of his bounty hunting contracts. During the hunt for Komari Vosa, which led to Oovo IV, the ship was sabatoged by Zam Wessel. Needing a replacement, he found a prototype fleet of Firespray-class starships in one of the hangars of the asteroid prison. Stealing one and demolishing the others, he christened it "Slave I", which he used up until his death. The ship would later go into the hands of his son, Boba Fett.

Behind the scenes

 * Jango Fett was played by Temuera Morrison in Attack of the Clones and voiced by Morrison in video games such as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and Star Wars: Battlefront II.
 * George Lucas chose the name "Jango" as a reference to the titular character of the movie Django. Like Jango, Django is also a loner mercenary with a harsh past.
 * www.ambufett.com was a domain name purchased by LucasFilm before the release of Attack of the Clones. It is possible that Ambu Fett may have been considered as the original name of Jango, or another Fett family member, or perhaps another clone. Another name proposed for the character was J'mee Fett.
 * There is a descrepancy in the time which he spent with Sheeka Tull; in two locations in The Cestus Deception it is specifically said they met in 41 BBY; however, Sheeka also says that they met two years after the destruction of the Mandalorians, which took place in 34 BBY.
