Jango and Boba Fett not Mandalorian

[Wasted Fett]

What do you mean, not mandalorians anymore? Did new info come out?

I'm sure this has been discussed in the past


Wookiepedia - (Jango) Fett wore a set of Mandalorian armor as a bounty hunter, though he was considered a pretender by the New Mandalorian government of Mandalore.

Creating Mandalore - Clone Wars Season 2 Featurette -

it is explained that they wanted to keep the the Fetts separate from the Mandalorians.

I completely missed that.

Well, that is cool and disheartening at the same time. I like the idea of the Fett's being special, but I think not being Mandalorian takes away from their character

Which is countered by the EU books in which Boba Fett becomes the Mandalorian leader and trains Jaina Solo in the Mando arts so she can kill her brother Jacen Solo.

but we all know whats up with the EU books. So, I'm pretty much giving you the Disney/Lucasfilm answer, which is the only thing canon now.

I like Boba Fett having a Mandalorian Warrior past. It makes him more of a military savvy bad-ass.

so he is just a Bounty Hunter using the best of what he can get, however, I did read Star Wars ''the bounty Hunter Code'' with a Lucas film copyright on it, and that went into huge detail about the Mandalorians including the Fetts,

Did y'all even watch the clone wars? The mandalorian people are pretty much soft as tissue paper.

i got it for Xmas, havent read it yet....is that book still Canon?

I like to think so :rolleyes Fett to me is a Mando....if the shoe fits and all that, you can tell I am not a purist

Though the featurette says that "the movies never say that Jango is a Mandalorian". But they don't say that he isn't either....

The only time it's quoted that Jango is not a Mandalorian is in the Clone Wars series by a corrupt, lying, politician of the NEW Mandalore government.

I'm still not convinced Jango isn't a Mando. Therefore, Boba is a Mando too in my mind


If someone's got more info, feel free to correct me (I'll listen with only one ear, I still don't like the thought of them not being Mandos)

watch the featurette.

Theres nothing canon about the mandalorians during or past the clone wars that would make me "proud" to call Boba or Jango for that matter a Mandalorian...

 

[Wasted Fett]

people gonna get their mando tats removed now

Aaaand that's why I stay away from anything that isn't movies, and take games with a grain of salt...
