General How do you play the part of Jango Fett while in costume?

Kind of hard not to be slow and deliberate in that helmet. :lol: Boba is a clone of Jango I imagine a lot of traits would be simmilar.
 
:lol:

Most of the time we see him, he's just standing there watching everything with his helmet off, but note that he's always ready to move in if needed. Very good point about him being up in Obi's face on Kamino....he's definitely a man without fear. But otherwise, most of the time he's fighting. I know some people in the past have said he's more of a John Wayne. That does help describe his fighting style a little more but talking slow and talking low isn't Jango-like lol.

I don't know, moving slow and Boba-like would be ok for Jango. I think it would work and it would look cool. But I don't know if that's Jango's style really. It sorta is and it sorta isn't. Deliberate in movement sounds like a good way of describing him, Mirax. He doesn't seem to move around much at all unless he needs to. Even when talking to Zam, I think he stays in the same spot or at least general area.
 
I concur, deliberate is a better word than slow. When does Boba actually move slowly anyway? Not when he's walking through the halls of Bespin. When he turns away from Vader, he moves pretty quickly. He moves at a moderate pace in the SE, even in Jedi...the only "slow" movement he makes that I remember offhand is when he looks at Lando as Han is being tortured. And that's why it stands out so much, it's the only slow one. If you move around slowly, as either Fett, you're just gonna look tired, or like you can't see so well and are unsure of your footing...which may be the case. Jango does move pretty quickly, especially in fights. He's up on his feet a lot faster than anyone wearing that armor could do it, and he's aiming, and he's jumping, flying, kicking, etc. So, he seems to be a lot more physical. Also, and this is probably somewhat true about Boba, he would seem to really command a room. He's there, and his presence is very apparent. Even in the cut scene with the poncho thing, he just has that presence, even without the helmet. And boba has that even in his first scene in Empire, without moving at all. They just have this presence I guess...hard to describe obviously. But in order to play either Fett, keeping in mind "I must move slowly" I believe is the wrong way to go. Deliberate, again, is a better description. You don't have to move a lot, but don't take your time when you do.
 
dude. i just saw the how to be boba, damn that was realy intersting, im not doing a boba, so could i have some ideas on jango? i no there at least alittle different, like how jango freely takes off his helmet, and his fighting styl and stuff. thaks

My two cents on this. I see Jango like some old west bad ass gun slinger. the way he walks is like he is ready for a shoot out. When I go out as Jango I always have that one twichy hand like Im ready to draw down on you. when standing I make it a point to always have my hands resting on the pistols again like ready for a draw down. the poses from the movie of course can be copied but I think it's more than that. Jango to me seems to be both stand offish and quite and yet at the same time he seems to be saying by the way he is standing or what not "come on F-with me buddy" Well that is my two cents on it.
 
Is this what you're talking about Bear? :lol: j/k

I think jango moves very precise. He takes in his surroundings so he is ready to move quickly when needed. I think what everyone has mentioned basically covers how fett acts. Deliberate is definately a better word than slow.
Just my 2 cents. :)

Hey that is Jango, Jango Fett the musical :lol:
 
Maybe I should make a Jango then. He just has a standard New Zealand accent. I lived there for a year . . . can ALMOST pull it off, if I really try! :D

What I want to know is... How many are actually able to
pull off Jango's accent? That's the hard part.

I think a good point of reference are the
cutscenes in the Bounty Hunter video game.
There are many sequences that show him either
standing and looking around, running, walking,
or just being plain cool.

My two cents.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You know, if you guys would like I could upload all the cutscenes from the game so you can see how he acts.

Actually, frothsky, I would love to see that! I don't have a PS2 or Gamecube...just XBox :facepalm

Then I guess it's time for me to start recording, converting, compressing and posting :D I'll try to get a couple of vids today. I just need to decide which ones I'll use.

The coruscant clips aren't bad. I can imagine everyone's seen the recruitment movie with Dooku - it was featured on www.starwars.com

Lets see... I'll do the final movie - that one's cool. I'll also try to do the one where he gets Slave-1, shows how he can be angry yet act somewhat calm and calculating - seems he does do things deliberately, always thinking ahead. :)
