natwa whitta Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 A question that has most likely been asked, but, is jango's helmet you know, the one boba picked up after he died, the same one he uses in ESB? is it painted diff? let's get your opinions....
Rogue Nine Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 I don't know if Boba would do that. Perhaps Jango had a spare one. His armor's coloration was pretty different from that of his father's. But to have to pull your dad's head out of his helmet and then use it....that's gotta be galling, no matter who you are.
ET Warrior Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 it did fall out, thas for sure.....and i think that it IS the helmet boba uses, because i believe there is a dent in it at the same place........i'll have to see ep 2 again to be sure though.
shAOLin Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 I heard somewhere that it's the same armor. By the time we actually see Boba in ESB and RotJ, it's old and worn, hense the color change:cool:
Vestril Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 It seems kind of unlikely...Boba's armor seems much harder, like metal plated, whereas Jango's seems to be able to bend and flex...

Vestril Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 Originally posted by MotionMan Aluminum alloy didnt exist in the 70's only steel:cool: Doesn't change the point that the armor would have to be different
gorganfloss Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 It probably wasn't cause there were alot more Mandalorians with that armor. :fett: :fett: :fett:
Jaster21801 Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 Well, I know in the EU (sorry for bringing it up), Boba Fett has a couple sets of his armor. So maybe Jango did too and Boba just uses a different set. Also to be noted: The armor for the legs on Boba and Jango are different. Jango uses holsters and armor on the thigh, Boba uses cargo pockets, Jango uses shinguards, Boba doesn't... so I dunno what the deal is... I'll check for the dent in Jango's helmet too... edit: just checked Jango's helmet and 99% of the pictures I've seen have no dent. But this one picture has an ambiguous shape that looks like it might be a dent. However, this possible dent is much higher on the helmet than on Boba's.
adillon Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 i've read on theforce.net some articles regarding scenes cut from ep2. one of which occurs immediately after boba picks up jango's helmet. here's this little kid in the middle of an arena after a butt-load of jedi/droids/etc. got killed, mourning the death of his father, right? ever wonder how he got out of dodge? SUPPOSEDLY in the deleted scene, boba puts on his father's helmet and jetpack (although i thought that was destroyed by that beast-thing) and flies out of the arena. and we all know he's familiar with the controls of slave 1, right? therefore, through my powers of deduction, boba fett's armor (at least helmet and jetpack) are the same as his father's. he took that and slave 1 and grew up into a bad@$$ bounty hunter, just like dear old dad.

MAYBE, just maybe, the dent came about when poor old jango's head hit the arena floor? things that make you go hmmm ...
Vestril Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Originally posted by adillon MAYBE, just maybe, the dent came about when poor old jango's head hit the arena floor? things that make you go hmmm ... Pretty weak armor of that fall left a huge dent...
Jaster21801 Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 yeah, especially when he cracked his head on Slave I and there were no dents at all... The figure of Boba Fett from Episode II makes an interesting argument... he's wearing a poncho, has one of Jango's guns, Jango's jetpack (I think the same one from the first part of the movie, which is the same as Boba's from RotJ) and his Helmet.... So perhaps Boba painted the helmet, got a bunch of credits, then bought some more of that armor..... hmmm... I wonder if we'll ever find out..
ET Warrior Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 If only i could post an attachment........i have two pictures, one of Jango and one of Boba, they both CLEARLY have the same dent in the same place on their helmet. And if you look in ESB, Slave 1 is a different color scheme than it was in Ep1, so i think Boba just repainted the slave and his dad's armor.

Jaster21801 Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 y'know, this whole dent argument is irrelevant... Boba could have dented it on one of his hunts or something... Though, one interesting part about the dent and scratches is that underneath the paint is silver
ET Warrior Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Aye, it is silver where the pain scratched off......and i dont remember where i found the pictures, but if i figure it out i'll post the links here
Jaster21801 Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 sorry to rain on your parade about the dents and all, but I just watched the movie again and Jango's helmet does NOT get dented... look at his helmet right before his head is lopped off and you'll see that there's no dent... if I find a picture, I'll try an post it... in fact, itz right as you see him firing at Mace... if you look where Boba's dent is, there isn't one on Jango's helmet... but thatz irrelevant... Boba coulda put the dent in himself!
ET Warrior Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 Sorry to rain on your rain that fell upon my parade.....but when Jango is fighting Obi-wan and they're sliding down the side of the Kamino City......when Jango looks down to see if obi wan is gone, you can quite obviously see the big dent on the side that was on Boba's, now the one on the front was probably made by boba, but the big one on the side was made by Jango...... http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/multimedia/image/movie/rotj/pub-03.jpg I hope that link works...you can quite obviously see the dent on the side of Boba's helmet. Make sure to look behind the dent that is right on the glare of the silver paint....it's back, you may have to zoom in to see it really well.....it's there though. i'm still looking for the Jango one....i'll post as soon as i'm able. Or you could go watch the movie, and pay attention to the part i mentioned earlier!
Jaster21801 Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 Sorry to rain on your rain that rained on my rain that rained on your parade, but if you look at the Don Post Deluxe Boba Fett helmet (modeled EXACTLY from the Helmet worn in the moives), you see that there is only the dent on the front. Here's the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?viewItem&item=2112009214 If that link doesn't work, then copy the whole thing into your address bar.. then it should work... You can clearly see the scratches on his mask revealing a silver/crome base coat/material and you can also see that Boba only has the one dent in his helmet. btw, I agree that there seems to be a dent on the top of Jango's helmet in several scenes, but each time I've looked for the dent as he's getting decapitated, the dent has disappeared.
ET Warrior Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Well, your rain that....okay enough rain annalogies....but the problem i see is that my picture is directly from the movies....and there is a dent there....your helmet is just a replica.... It's silly that we're arguing however, because it seems that we both believe that Boba is going to use his fathers helmet.....
Lime-Light Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 And a crappy replica at that. He made up scratches. I think its likely boba got at least partly new armour. For one, bobas jetpack is different from jangos. Maybe he just kept the helmet (after he got the stink of burnin-dad-head out).
CBrate Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 I think its the same helmet. It seems to have a lot of sentimental value attached to it.
ET Warrior Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Not sure why you think that Boba's Jetpack is dif. Than Jango's......looks almost identical to me........
Jaster21801 Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 the jetpack IS identical, the paint's just different. But he has two jetpacks and probably more.. As well as more suits of armor. He uses a green jetpack (same styling) in ESB and uses Jango's in RotJ. Oh and btw, the replica was cast from the same molds, so yeah, maybe the scratches were out of place, but the dents were not. But that's irrelevant. Boba most likely used Jango's complete outfit for a few hunts until he could afford to buy more Mandalorian armor since it's supposedly pretty expensive. But yeah, at the moment he probably only uses Jango's helmet and jetpack during his prime.
