His arm couldn't reach that very easily, and he can take off without it. Only use it has as i see it is to send Boba flying down into the sarlaccs mouth...... And even if he's not unconcious, i still have other points that show why he is dead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustaPekka Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Best bounty hunter in the galaxy looks in the eyes of the jedi for second or so, and NOT shoot him unarmed, but make stunt leap for the saber Unprofessionalism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 you know, i never even thought of that.....although perhaps by the time he drew his gun mace would have his saber back, as the gun was in the holster....but it would have been much quicker to draw and fire than to dive at the saber.... even if Jango would have managed to pick up the lightsaber......Mace would either have force pulled it out of his hands.....or force pushed him down and then jumped on his head...

MotionMan Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Interesting MustaPekka. One of my favorite parts of Ep.2 was the face Mace gave Jango when Jango dived for his saber. like : :mace:"please, Nobody touches my MuthaF***ng saber!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustaPekka Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Interesting picture No wonder Boba is shocked, what an mistake from fathers part But why is Jango holding gun in left hand? Is he not right handed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Maybe that's why he didn't try shooting at mace. he knew he wasn't as accurate with that hand. He must have switched hands sometime either when he got trampled by the reek or right after he shot it. Because his gun was in his right hand before mace chopped it, and then his head...

Kryllith Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Originally posted by Jedi_Monk 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. Live with it You have a bibliographical citation for this quote? The only reason I argue for the possible existence of Boba's survival is because of all the people to fall into the Sarlaac, he had a potential for escaping (well, that and we don't have the last trilogy to see if he shows up in it). I'd be more than happy to accept his death though, if you can point me to Lucas's quotation... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 It's embarassing not being able to site the exact quote... I believe it was either from an interview of Star Wars insider around the time of the SE... and memory implies that the quote about Fett being toast comes from one of the interviews with Leonard Maltin (sp) before the THX-enhanced RotJ... I know I've heard other people quote the same way I remembered them without my influence, but I can't remember exactly where they're from... little help?

Nebelwerfer_ Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 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 well, i think he died of stupidity, think about it. Instead of flopping on the ground trying to grab mace windu's lightsaber, he could just have easily shot it with his blaster, or better yet just shot mace windu while he cant protect himself.

winner_rex Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 nah, Mace would use the force to blow up Jango's gun, then use the force to set off all those rockets he had....heheheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebelwerfer_ Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Mace would have blocked the shots like Vader did in ESB nah, vader had some kind of armor gauntlet on. jango had the skills to shoot an unarmed mace windu, but he didn't cause he's stupid. he should have shot him like he did that other jedi he killed right in front of tyranus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Originally posted by Nebelwerfer_ nah, vader had some kind of armor gauntlet on. Actually it is possible to block blaster shots with the force alone. I once thought Vader blocked the shots because of his mechanical hand. Yoda proves that even sith lightning can be blocked by the force. His hand being mechanical wouldnt do a good job of blocking blaster fire. Look at how easy the droids got taken out with mere blasters, and they are all machine. About the armor gauntlet. Inconclusive! That isnt said in the movies:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebelwerfer_ Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Well, if that's true, then why did so many jedi die from laser shots during the geonoshan arena scene, and why would jedi block laser bolts anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Maybe you have to be highly skilled in the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IYFJK Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Originally posted by MotionMan 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. he killed that one jedi with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norin Radd Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Originally posted by IYFJK he killed that one jedi with ease That's because that one Jedi, was so distracted by his intent on getting Dooku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IYFJK Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 nope, jango just had skillz eerr, but he wasnt as good as everyone said he would be neither was boba fett! bah! why dont they add them more in the movies?! they both died (well im not sure about boba fett) in weird... weird... way... ----------- monkey dance! :monkey4: :monkey4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Originally posted by IYFJK why dont they add them more in the movies?! ----------- They were never meant to be major charecters in the movies.

Mandalorian54 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 It is actually quite simple you see! Some jedi are not quite as well trained or experianced as others and some do not have as many mediclorians!!! as for some of the stuff said way at the top of this thread about jango fett dieing becase he could not flee and his only battles against jedi are when he flees or dies!!! You people make me sick you are so stupid like little children!!!! jango fett killed some jedi just by shooting at them in case you dident notice, and the reason he died was not because his jet pack failed and he could not escape, he also had a flame thrower and wire cable which he could have used against mace wandu!!! I would assume he just did not have time to think to use all his equipment (I forgot to mention grenades) in the heat of the moment but Im not certain exactly.

ET Warrior Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Jango Fett killed A Jedi....a jedi who happened to NOT be looking at him, by the way...yes...bravo.. You are right..he didn't die because his jetpack failed...he died because Mace Windu (who is a bad motherf*****) cut his head off. :D Not too sure what a wire cable would have done to a charging Mace Windu....maybe he could've poked his eye out His flame thrower was quite possibly out of fuel, he did have a huge burst of flame aimed at mace earlier, and there really isn't anywhere to hide that much flammable liquid. (What grenades? I saw no grenades....if he had grenades, why didn't he toss a few at obiwan?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You people make me sick you are so stupid like little children!!!! Whoa.. calm dont there sparky. I know your a fett fan. You must realize that the fetts were and always be only mere backround charecters. Although Jango did have a significant role in ep.2 he still is just a bounty hunter. Star wars is about the force and the Jedi not about how cool the fetts are. You obviously have read alot of the EU stories were Boba Fett is immortal and he defeats whoever he pleases. You have to see that those books are written by Fett fans who will try to make Boba god-like in his abilities and survival skills. It is not canon though. They are just SW fictional stories written by random authors who are obviously Boba fans. They in no way have anything to do with the films. In the "REAL" SW world we see they are in fact mortal and could easily be killed by a well trained Jedi. jango fett killed some jedi just by shooting at them in case you dident notice, and the reason he died was not because his jet pack failed and he could not escape, he also had a flame thrower and wire cable which he could have used against mace wandu!!! What "JEDI'S" did Jango kill??? The only one he killed was the long headed green jedi that was going after Dooku. He did use the flame thrower against Mace if you remember correctly. Mace dodges and jumps to the arena floor. The flame thrower wasnt effective against Mace. Well neither was his blasters were they:) I would assume he just did not have time to think to use all his equipment (I forgot to mention grenades) in the heat of the moment but Im not certain exactly. He had alot of time vs. Obi-Wan, and he did use alot of his weapons vs. Obi-Wan. Did he have better results? Somewhat, but not really. Jango was trying to kill Obi-Wan and failed. Obi-Wan was trying to capture Jango not kill him and he was doing pretty good even after he fought Jango saberless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Well, if that's true, then why did so many jedi die from laser shots during the geonoshan arena scene, and why would jedi block laser bolts anyway? isn't the why they would do that obvious..? So they dont DIE of course....i imagine it takes a VERY powerful jedi with massive control of the force to block a blaster bolt....(the chosen one is pretty powerful;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mez1109 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Most SW fans love the Fett characters, we try to make them the worst enemy of the Jedi, and also a Jedi bounty hunter, but unfortunetly for some Lucas did not make the Fetts very good at killing hte Jedi, maybe he thought that it makes the Jedi look weak. I think the Fetts should have been made enemy number one of the Jedis, and allowed Jango to kill a few Jedi, so it made it more of a challange for the Jedis to beat him, as a VERY GOOD ENEMY MAKES THE HERO EXELLENT. Also Jedis use the force to give them an edge in battle, but we all know, that the force only lasts so long for each Jedi, and no Jedi can continuesly block laser shots, and has to be specially good as a Jedi just to block laser shots comeing from every directions. Still give the Jedis also some credit, as a laser shot travels at the speed of light, that obviously is very fast, but as Jedis can see a few moments in the future (some can see even further), it allows them to block the laser shots earlier as the Jedi knows where the laser shot is going to hit. What if five shots were fired at different angles at a Jedi, at the same time? Well Not even Mace Windu could stop that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
