I cant really tell you who would win, Id say their kill each other......

A fair matchup considering they're nearly identical. But I go with Boba just cuz he seems more pissed off.

Arcadian

14-07-2006 19:19:43

I dunno i'm thinking Jango but not 100%

Kal

15-07-2006 12:45:13

I would think that Boba would win, Jango relied on brute force while Boba was tactical and relied on speed and smarts.

Boba apparently survived being eaten by the Sarlacc...nuff said.

I agree with that.

Shirai

16-07-2006 01:01:25

mmmhmm.

Kal

16-07-2006 02:01:16

Jus cause he's a clone doesn't mean he thinks the same. Or, for that matter, fight the same.

Aabsdu

17-07-2006 17:11:34

But for the most part he does, since that's the main point of cloning is getting an identical version of someone else. Looks isn't everything, so clones would have to think and feel like the person as well. Still, I'd say they would kill each other, though it'd be cool to watch. They'd probably shoot their jetpack missiles at each other and blow themselves into the abyss

Shirai

17-07-2006 22:27:54

lol, how true is that...a more fitting match would be to watch Jango and Boba fight Han and Lando.

Kal

17-07-2006 23:02:50

Ok, you're missing my point here. Cloning someone copies their body. The mind, however, would have to grow on it's own. If clones all thinked the same, then the Republic would have been full of Jango Fetts. Before the whole Order 66 thing, the clones were friends of the Jedi. They were good guys. Jango, on the other hand, wasn't. My point is, if someone makes a bunch of babies out of one guy and sticks them all in different homes, each one is going to get raised differently.

Rannik

17-07-2006 23:59:13

yep, i agree with Kal on that one... but, why is everyone picking Boba? Hes just the same as Jango.... but, different weapons and maybe a different style of fighting, and Boba, in the comics, had a green lightsaber he used against Vader at one point...

Shirai

18-07-2006 00:30:10

got lucky didnt he...could have stabbed himself with it.

Kal

18-07-2006 01:21:33

I say Boba cuz he had a harder life than Jango. Wud have made him tough.

Aabsdu

18-07-2006 14:32:45

Well, the whole point of Order 66, in my opinion, was that the clones were never exactly good guys, but rather following orders. In their minds they never followed the command of the jedi, but rather Palpy boy. This is how he was able to insert the Order 66 command into them. I think that the whole time during the Clone War the clones were rather acting as if they trusted the jedi, yet knew that if Palpy said kill them they'd follow orders and kill those no good dirty rotten jedi.

Just my opinion :)

Shirai

18-07-2006 15:22:20

dang you really are evil Aabs....CHEERS TO THAT!!!

But it would be awesome if the Jedi put up more of a fight.

Aabsdu

19-07-2006 14:20:00

Yeah, but the whole thing was that they had been played from the beginning. The entire war was a stage, and the jedi were the puppets. They never expected their so-called allies to turn against them, which is one reason it took them by surprise so much. I mean, if you're fighting a massive droid army would you be focusing on the droids or your "allies" fighting behind you? Yoda was the only one to actually sense death coming before he suffered the same fate as well

Shirai

20-07-2006 03:16:43

I thought Mace would have to...with his shatterpoint Force power.

Muz Ashen

20-07-2006 11:40:27

I don't think that yoda 'felt death coming', necessarily...but that he felt the deaths of so many of his former students in the force...more so than normal, even for the clone wars... and since yoda was pretty skeptical of the whole war, he quickly put things together.

of course, that's just my 2 cents.

Aabsdu

20-07-2006 13:37:00

Yes, but I personally think his great awareness of the force and greater understanding of it allowed him tosense the danger. He felt all the deaths, but I don't really think he put together the fact that the clones were the killers right then and there.

We all have our opinions, though

Kal

21-07-2006 03:20:49

Yoda sensed danger when Mace did not because Mace wasn't killed by clones. Sidious played him, so that just about when he was going to kill Palpy, Anakin would intervene. Remember, Ani had identified Palpy as the Sith behind the war and had been correct. Mace didn't know about Padme and Palpy's supposed powers, so he had no further reason to distrust Ani. He was a Jedi, and they tend to trust those who show honesty. Yoda, on the other hand, had been training in the Force for almost 900 frickin years! I think after nearly 9 centuries one would be fairly aware of the doings of the Force. Yoda was the epitome of Jedi. In fact, I think that he was about the only Jedi I actually found to have the light at a higher power than the dark. Besides, he was a fast little bugger, and the feeling of the death of almost every Jedi combined with the sound of soldiers behind you readying their guns would be more than enough to set him off. I just wish they would have remembered to put in the sound of Yoda's lightsaber activating when he croaked the clones.

Shirai

21-07-2006 17:10:09

that is indeed true, but again...what about the shatterpoint thingy.

Kal

22-07-2006 07:26:19

Did GL even come up with the Shatterpoint thingy? No. It is EU material. It was never in the movies. So George gave it the ok. That doesn't mean that he goes home with his fabulous wealth to read through Star Wars novels that he didn't even write. Besides, the Dark Side clouded his vision, to stay within the storyline.

I think people need to pay less attention to EU when watching the movies.

Shirai

22-07-2006 21:29:38

ok....what the hell is EU

Baron Zarco

23-07-2006 00:24:40

Extended Universe

I think that means all the stuff that Lucas will license in order to get paid but that he will not say is "official."

Shirai

23-07-2006 04:10:07

thats why hes a billionaire

Aabsdu

25-07-2006 15:52:35

Expanded, not Extended. Also, I don't think that George personally says ok to every single Star Wars related thing that is offered to him, but more or less his reps in LucasArts, LucasFilm, Del Rey, and Dark Horse handle most of that stuff

Arcadian

29-07-2006 18:42:25

I said Jango earlier, but i changed my mind and now I think they would kill each other because techniclly speaking there the same person.

Rannik

31-07-2006 01:11:11

now ur getting it >:P

Arcadian

31-07-2006 11:26:33

Baron Zarco

Am I right in believing that clones are no more likely to achieve the same status in any given adult endeavor than are identical twins? I have not looked at any studies but do twins perform the same into adulthood? Are there cases where one twin is a profesional athlete and the other is a couch potato? Are there instances where one twin is a genius or a CEO or a whatever and the other twin is a failure? I would not expect that Boba Fett is the same as Jango fett. From a psychological point of view one could argue that perhaps Boba Fett's apparent emulation of his father is an overdetermined response to his feelings of inadequacy. Maybe it ios a coincidence. maybe it is a healthy following and he has surpassed his father. Who knows? I am saying all that to say this -- I do not see how the fact that they are clones makes it a cinch that they are of eaqual adult talent. All we have is the movies. There, Boba Fett is portrayed as being more cunning and more resilient if not equally as unlucky with Jedi.

Arcadian

31-07-2006 17:01:39

Be that as it may, Jango and Boba didn't live to differently, they lived in a different time peroid sure, but they both were raised on the same planet for the better part of their life, both were trained in the same way, both became bounty hunters, both were killed by Jedi, you see my point :P

Kal

Thank you! That's my point. Boba would be better because his life was harder and as a result, he was stronger.

Scyrone

09-08-2006 17:37:46

I dont think Boba's life was harder, he had it easy. Boba wasn't trained by a multiple of Mandalorians, he might've escaped the Saarlacc, but he wouldve died in Dengar didnt look after him for a few weeks. Jango on the other hand was trained by Mandalorians, he fought Mandalorian rivals, and he taught Boba Fett. The thing is he never taught him everything he knew. I dont think Jango had any intention of dying on Geonosis.

And sayin ignoring the EU in this case would make Boba extremely weak.

Kal

10-08-2006 18:00:08

Boba had a harder life, all right. He grew up from ten years old by himself, no help, learning to survive. At least Jango had the Mandalorians. Boba had to live like a criminal. Jango was pampered on Kamino. Boba had to steal daddykin's ship, find a place to hide, and take up Jango's job. All that, and he became equally, if not more, successful as a bounty hunter than Jango. Personally, I'd call that more powerful, wouldn't you?

Arcadian

10-08-2006 18:41:52

Quite honestly Kal you think living with Mandalorians would be any better than alone? Plus Jango wasn't really living on Kamino 24/7 as he did bounty jobs all the time.

Kal

10-08-2006 21:32:53

living with Mandalorians means that you would have had expert training, a place to sleep at night, a food supply, clothing, shelter, etc. given to you. Boba had slight, half-assed training until his dad croaked, had to find his needs for himself, seeing as the Mandalorians were disbanded, and had to get three or more new ships over his lifetime, and still became more infamous than Jango, yeah, I'd say so.

Arcadian

11-08-2006 17:23:32

If while living with the Mandalorians though you screwed up, I'm willing to bet you didn't have those things much longer.

Kal

14-08-2006 03:14:24

Untrue. The Mandalorians were based on an honor system. They didn't kill their [Expletive Deleted F-word]-ups, like those idiotic ancient sith, but they assigned them to the lowliest jobs.

Arcadian

I never said they killed them.

Kal

15-08-2006 21:14:45

Yeah, but they were still fed and clothed. Even when they F-worded up. They took jobs as a group, not individually.

Arcadian

16-08-2006 15:45:08

eh mabey your right.....wow i can't belive I said that :P

Werdna Elbee

17-08-2006 06:09:15

I think Battlefront II confirms that Boba is better, as the Jango character is TERRIBLE!!! Because of his crappy gun he is actually worse than the main droid trooper (superdroid???)

Kal

17-08-2006 06:21:40

Yeah, Boba got eaten by a friggin Sarlacc, killed many dangerous people, and fought with Darth Vader and held his own for a while. Jango got a few lucky shots in on some Jedi, yet a reek was too much for him.

Boba's better. He's better in Battlefront II, he's better in JA cuz he takes some 3000 hits before losing and lives to fly away, he's better in the movies(aside from a blind moron accidentally smoking his jetpack with a big stick), he's better in the books. He's just better, man! He even had more luck with the ladies. Anyone who knows who Sintas Vel or Ailyn Vel knows what I'm talking about.

For all we know, big bad Jango was a virgin. >:)

Werdna Elbee

17-08-2006 12:00:00

Needed a clone coz he couldn't score.

Lol this topic just got weird....er :P

Kal

19-08-2006 08:41:39

Arc, we know the topic of women bothers you. We don't care. I, for one, laugh at you. :lol:

Syrus Korodin

Seconded.

*sigh* You enjoy being an ass? Both of you?

Kal

19-08-2006 21:34:46

Why, of course! Without being an ass, what else is there?

Arcadian

19-08-2006 21:43:54

Erm....i got nothin :(

Kal

20-08-2006 00:06:29

And he means nothing >:)

Arcadian

20-08-2006 01:55:51

Kal, go die in a fricken hole right now.

Syrus Korodin

20-08-2006 12:19:34

I don't even know who you are, Arcadian.

But I hate you.

Kal

25-08-2006 06:05:26

Welcome to the club, Syrus. It's good to have someone who sympathises with me. I think this may be the start of a beautiful yet horrifying friendship.

Aabsdu

25-08-2006 08:33:13

Well, this topic seems to have gotten slightly out of hand. Heh

Kal

25-08-2006 16:04:16

Oh? I was under the understanding that this was a topic about hating Arc... hmm... OH YEAH! Jango and Boba. Anyone else have an opinion?(No I'm not listening, but the PCON is going to yell, so...)

Cethgus

11-10-2006 05:39:52

I really thing Jango Fett because he was after all wait actully no i voted Jango but now i think they will kill each other they are both exactly the same remeber!!

Hel-Pa Sklib

11-10-2006 20:17:27

Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc, took out most of the BHG, and stands a pretty descent chance against most Jedi. 'Nuff said.

Cethgus

12-10-2006 03:10:31

Well you know that they are like each other so i would think they would kill each other

Kal

15-12-2006 03:03:42

Well you know that they are like each other so i would think they would kill each other



Once again, they are PHYSICALLY like each other. The fact that Boba could stand up to Jedi shows that he had the skill needed to win.

Makurth Mandalore

15-12-2006 23:21:23

Yeah, I think Boba would win hands down. I mean, Jango got his head lopped off by Mace Windu and Boba has been hunting Jedi for years without losing his :D

Ylith Pandemonium

16-12-2006 20:51:24

Boba will kick the [Expletive Deleted]ter our of Jango's ass in the end...

Makurth Mandalore

18-12-2006 21:49:34

*grins* I think it's getting to where a lot of people would watch that fight to see Jango get his ass royally kicked :D

Laigerick Sithelhood

19-12-2006 19:22:05

...personally, I thought Jango would win... :P
