winner_rex Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 In the Geonosis arena scene, after Jango is trampled by the reek, you can see sparks flying around his jetpack. Before Mace swings and does his thang, you can see Jango's jetpack try to lift off. But it misfires, and *vum vum vum* *boink boink boink* Jango loses. He would have lived, if it werent for his jetpack breaking on him. Maybe in ep3 Boba will go after the manufacturers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotionMan Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 If his jetpack would have worked , then maybe he would have flown off like a coward. He still did the best he could. He shot Mace at point blank range, but Mace just kept comming-blocking all the shots with ease. The fetts only tactic vs. a Jedi is to Flee. The scene with the reek-I think was to show Jangos skill with his blasters one last time before his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Exactly... if Jango had fled (even on foot) instead of standing there shooting like an idiot, he would've lived. It's against the Jedi Code to kill anyone who isn't an immediate threat to you. He was brave, but very stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covenant_bad Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 wouldnt the clone starships (small destroyers) of destroyed the slave 1 as it tried to escape or at least impounded it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Woofer Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 The only "Mechanical Failure" Jango experienced was the failure of his Helmet to remain attached to his body, due to the laceration from Windu's saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there were enough clone ships to cover the entire planet to prevent escape, Boba could've outmaneuvered them methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I think he just lays low for a while. I dont think he tries to flee the planet right away. I mean there was a big battle going on. Plus he is still a kid. Where would he go to? I dont think Jango had a specific place to live. I mean Jango had been living in Kamino for at least 10 years. Bobba maybe went back to kamino to gather his thought. Just a hunch:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RectalFury Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Maybe the Fetts should reconsider the whole jetpack thing. Jango can't escape Windu, and then Boba misfires into the Sarlacc. Sounds pretty crappy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcceptableRisk Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Well if you don't have the force with you, and all the jumping/acrobatics it provides, then you have to make do with a crappy backpack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Maybe they should pay the extra money to get a really good jetpack.....one that is less likely to end up making them dead....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcceptableRisk Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Not an every day type of article in the Star Wars universe...you have to make do with what you can find or make. Even if the POS gets you and your exact clone killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkum Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 well, boba actually survives in ROTJ, he blasts his way out, Lucas didn't show it though. jango could have live if he just durrendered or ran off or something as long as Windu wasn't coming towards him.

ET Warrior Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Well, if we didn't see Boba get out of the Sarlacc in the movie, then we really cannot know if he ever did, unless George writes a book about it. Let's look at the facts as seen in the movie. Boba's pack was triggered by Hans' stick. Boba flies probably about 40 feet, completely out of control, and slams into the sailbarge at full speed. Almost certainly concussing himself and possibly breaking the pack, but maybe not. Then he falls to the sand, from probably 30 feet, and lands on the jet pack, almost certainly breaking it. Then he is eaten by the sarlacc. He's probably unconcious when he's eaten, after those two major impacts, which means that he's going to be way down in it's stomach, surrounded by acid when he comes too. now we know that this acid is fairly weak, as they say it takes 1000 years to be digested. But we also know that there will be extreme pain involved, as C3PO says that they will learn a new definition of pain and suffering. So thusly Boba would wake up in extreme pain, and doing anything coordinated when your entire body is in extreme pain is quite difficult. Also, the acid would probably burn his eyes quite easily, rendering him blind very quickly. Unless of course his helmet is sealed against that, then he will be able to see as long is the acid stays out. However, the acid would get into his jet pack, eating through wires and whatnot, and generally breaking it to the point of uselessness. I see approximately no way for him to get out of that alive. And as for you mr platinumomen.....Jango Fett lasted 4 seconds against Mace Windu, and Boba was killed by a blind Han Solo armed with a stick.........yet they rule JK:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellFyre69 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Well I think that jango only went into the arena, because he got a little excited when he got a jedi? and He thought *sh!t*, i'm the Sh!t... Imma going to show off my skills to count tyrannus and my son boba!. But all got was a nice Swing at his head! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 This is exactly what Jango was thinking during that scene. "Oh yeah, i just F***** up that Jedi..i'm the baddest dude here....OH MAN! Jango just dropped his saber! I'm goign to kill him and show off for my son! A ha, all i have to do is grab that saber and mace is goin down. CRAP he force pulled it.....ACK!

Kryllith Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Goodie. Please post then and I'll argue as to why he could still be alive. As for your first post, it's on the basis that he's unconcious, which he very well may not be (I think he was yelling when he fell into the Sarlaac, so hitting the sailbarge apparently didn't take him out). If the armour didn't serve well enough to keep him concious, it should at least serve him for a while to keep the acid off of him. I don't know the specs on the armour, but managed not to lose it after colliding with the sailbarge, so apparently it's fairly well attached...

Funnay Bunnay Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 All this talk of having a crappy jetpack: It misfires because the reek kicks it,rendering it to malfunction. In a book somewhere, it says that Han accidentaly smacked the manual jetpack takeoff button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Wasn't one of the reasons why Lucas added the Sarlacc's beak in the first place to rebuff rumors that Fett escaped alive? Lucas said that as far as he's concerned, Fett's dead, so the Sarlacc's beak was nailing shut the coffin. Flying out of a gaping, tooth-rimmed hole is one thing--flying out of a clamped beak is quite another. And since Lucas defines canon, Fett's dead.
