Jodo Kast?

Hey guys I just wanna take some opinions, what do you think of Jodo Kast? Is he a pansy for taking boba's name and stealing some of his hunts, or not? what do you think?

Pansy.

Living on the edge! That guy had balls, that's for sure.

True, but...He was defeated by Boba too

He was unworthy to wear mandalorian beskar.

that's all i've got to say

haha nice

Jodo Kast = FAIL

Who's Jodo Kast.....

Sniff on my dear brother! Sniff on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jodo Kast was a guy who wears modified mandalorian armor even tho he isn't one and sometimes he used boba fetts name to get some bounty hunting jobs...Boba killed him tho

I thought Jodo Kast was a woman.


In my dreams sometimes. That's not weird....

haha no he's a dude. And nah its perfectly normal

It's kind of double-edged. He had balls to steal Boba's identity, but he was an idiot for thinking he could get away with it, and he was a pansy for not getting his own reputation.

Refer to my signature. Awesomeness.

seriously how do you get a picture to be ur signature

I used magic. But....for you mortals.....

Go to "my helmet", then "edit signature", then make sure your image fits the specs., and upload it.

This is amazing

Imagine if you were Jodo in RL... feeling a blaster in the back of your helmet... serious oh **** moment because you would instantly know whos blaster that was... The real deal.

El1te

I'd imagine it would feel like a clunk.....So I'd proboly do a shooing movement and go back to waiting for Fett to be in my sights.

My Jedi Slezak Mux killed Jodo Kast in the West End Games original version of the Star Wars role playing game back in 1992!

jodo he had balls he was a true mando through blood. not a clone yes wanted a name for him self he wanted the money and followed the mando was . and did get a few over on the fett man even with a blaster to his head remember fett had to drug him and set him up for a fight he is younger and cocky .

and not a photo copie of a mando like boba sorry for the blaspheming

He was an Apprentice Protector and bounty hunter. He sometimes used Boba Fett's name after Fett was supposed to have died in the Sarlacc. He thought he'd be okay. Remember, in "Twin Engines of Destruction", Boba was still with Dengar and healing and laying low. Also, IIRC, Jodo was trading on Fett's rep not to get jobs but to get paid more for them. And it's never clear if he said he was Fett of if they thought he was Fett and he just didn't correct them. A lie of omission is still a lie, but... *shrug* He pulled an Anakin -- he wanted to be somebody and his impatience and arrogance got the better of him.

Awesome pic JK3!

Yes, I am resuscitating this thread (I apologize) but I must respond to this thread. My take on Jodo Kast: he is who Boba Fett should be.

Why do I say that? Well, everyone fell in love with the Fett man in the original Star Wars movies. Here was a mysterious, awesome looking, bounty hunter that had such confidence and a swagger to him. Every moment he was on camera he had a presence to him. Boba Fett was the epitome of 'cool.' What made him so cool was you knew nothing about him. All you knew about Boba Fett was he was a bounty hunter, he was efficient as his job, and he had awesome gadgets. What more could you ask for?

To me, what made Boba Fett even more cool, was he had flaws. Yes, he was ruthless, efficient, but after his embarrassing fall in Return of the Jedi (where he should have died), you figured out he was 'only human.' Yes, he was skilled, he was awesome, but he eventually would meet his demise.

Then came the dreaded "Star Wars Canon." Where characters can never die, always have to have some elaborate back story, and everyone is related or connected somehow. Boba Fett returns multiple times and is somehow a God. He is able to fight the Dark Lord of the Sith in hand-to-hand combat (does ANYONE else think this is utterly absurd and completely asinine?!), defeat numerous bounty hunters simultaneously (4-Lom, Zuckuss, Bossk, "2" IG-88s?!), and simply cannot 'lose.' To my dismay, the coolest character in the Star Wars universe became "uber l33t' and a power-gamer...he is not allowed to lose. My problem with this is two fold:

First, there is no 'human' connection or sense of fear or danger. In the movies, you're watching Fett and wondering "Geez, I hope he doesn't die!" He appears very human, no super powers, nothing too extraordinary, etc. and you actually feel excitement and danger for the character.
Not in the 'canon.' I roll my eyes every time I read about Boba Fett. The guy can't be stopped, he some how always "realizes" traps and plans that are set up for him (how the heck do you know that IG-88 -- let alone that there are TWO of them -- are waiting for you!??!), he can beat some of the top bounty hunters with ease, and can go toe-to-toe with Darth Vader. There is no sense of danger, outrageous plots and storylines, and I feel quite disconnect and actually laugh at the insipidness that unfolds.

Secondly, there is no more mystery of Boba Fett. What made Boba Fett so cool in the films was no one knew who he was. There was no need, it wasn't important. It made him all the more ruthless, more efficient, and cunning bounty hunter. If you wanted to portray him in your imagination...you could! Everyone had their own interpretations of Boba Fett and he could be anything you wanted him to be: some people could view him as a scumbag with no tides except only to bounties, others can make up his past and family, etc. The 'mystery' of Boba Fett was was simple and effective...sometimes less is more and that is exactly why Boba Fett ruled.

Now? You know EVERYTHING about him, as a child (this was a disappointment for me), how he's pretty much nothing more than a unaltered clone, etc. There is too much information, too many things are tangled and connected, and the more 'stories' the more outrageous and laughable they become.

Finally, I find it amusing (no disrespect of course) how so many Fett boys, say "Jodo Kast is a wannabe. He stole Fett's identity to "get paid higher pay" and eventually met his end to Boba Fett. He isn't worthy of being called a mandalorian!"

Well, that sounds pretty hypocritical to me. Because: Jango's son, the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett, used Mereel's name as an alias during his brief occupation as a Journeyman Protector sometime between 19 BBY and 12 BBY. This led to rumors that Jaster Mereel and Boba Fett were the same person, rumors which Fett did nothing to dispel, as they only added to his mysterious aura.

Hmmm...Boba Fett used Jaster Mereel's name...made no claims to dispell this myth, and that's okay. Yet, Jodo Kast does the exact same thing, but he's a coward/wannabe. Very interesting!

What is known about Jodo Kast? Well, not too much: he was an ex-rebel special ops who was interested in credits, killed a "real" mandalorian Feskitt Bobb, and stole his armor and took up bounty hunting. That's pretty much all you know about him. He's human, has flaws (as Dengar 'kindly' pointed out....who got OWNED by Jodo Kast..don't get my started on Dengar), and eventually dies. Sounds like Boba Fett in the movies...which is exactly how he should have been.

/end rant

So you've been bottling this up for a while Joe?

But yet, making perfect sense.

Yes, Ed...I have been bottling this up

Thank you, sir. That's just my take on it.

The problem is as soon as fans love a character from any movie
they want to know more and eventually the mystery evaporates, look at
Wolverine. Now as far as besting other hunters at the same time it is possible.
Bossk and the others even IG-88 were creatures of habit/programming.
Knowing how they think and watching for the signs could easily give Fett
the upper hand.

Perhaps, but Boba Fett's actions are still too much, in my opinion. Boba Fett was able to hold off Bossk in a mercy match. That's pretty absurd. Boba Fett -- Jeremy Bulloch -- was not an intimidating physical specimen. In fact, I would go as far as saying that the two humans (Dengar and Boba Fett) as being physically the weakest of the bounty hunters in ESB. To be able to physically outmuscle a 6.2+ reptile? Realistically, I just don't see it happening whatsoever.

Also 'knowing how they think and watching for signs' couldn't that same argument be used against Boba Fett? I still believe taking on numerous bounty hunters as once is a joke. Boba Fett is an exceptional bounty hunter, there is no question about that. But to be able to do go 'beyond that' and beat the Dark Lord of the Sith is absolutely ridiculous.

My take is this.....

If you wanna do a Jodo Kast, then do it. The beskar is the sickest since Boba. I like the character, to an extent, and will eventually build a Jodo suit of my own (and bug the heck out of Joe when I do, so as to be accurate as possible). End of the day, who cares what anybody else thinks. Hell, we ESB/ROTJ/ROTJ SE Boba's cant even agree, what makes you think our opinion on another character is any more than the same biased speculation. I think if you have the dedication to build it, you'll find plenty of us giving you a big pat on the back.

I find it ironic that people on this board would dis' Jodo Kast for impersonating Boba Fett. Is'nt that what the majority of you do on a regular basis?
Maybe I'm a little biast though as I'll be rolling out my own TEOD Jodo as soon as my boots, collar and back armor arrive!

Yeah I can agree that beating bossk in strength is out there.
The other thing is the other hunters were no where near as meticulous
as Fett. Bossk was obsessed with running the guild and getting revenge
and due to his reptillian nature had zero patience. Dengar was simply a
subpar hunter and didn't have Fett's resourses. IG-88 was Fett's biggest
threat due to having infinite patience.

As far as intimidation factor, I think Fett's rep gives him an edge that the
others just cannot mat h, who's more scary a big lizard who couldn't keep
the hunters guild together, or the hunter who apprently never dies, always
gets his target and has been seen mouthing off to Vader and walking away
from it?

well done.

Now I feel a little guilty about my whole rant You're absolutely right. I just felt the need to 'represent' Jodo, because he seems to be viewed pretty harsh here.

Interesting take on it, and a solid argument. In my opinion, the tall, emotionless, assassin droid is the most intimidating (IG-88)

That always made me laugh too

I've got groin, butt and a knee to go ... but PM me with regards to the CRL

So far, Joe, yours is the best I've seen (and to my knowledge, the first accurate one ever done), and raises the bar pretty high for any one of us entertaining the idea of replicating Jodo. The amount of research you put into the character and armor was mind boggling. The fact that it was 501st is impressive on its own. So, I would say, your rant was well earned.

As much as i would like to say that costume is mine dsonik, that costume is craig's. Hes the bar that im shooting for though.

Ahhhh, okay. Well, his is sick.

Take a look at Reaper's Jodo over on The Guild, His belt kits are awsome

The best and most accurate Jodo Kast costume I have seen is our own board member Craig aka Jodo Kast III. He is the source on Jodo Kast!

he's the one who makes dr.evazan's face looks creepy for sure lol
