My wife was looking at Fetts chest plate emblem as I was explaining the significance of the wheat sheaf. she suddenly said
"Oh and is the backwards 'F' for Fett?"

Well as i looked I thought Hey it is a backwards F

She then says

"oh and there is a 'T' in it as well"

Holy Moly

Ive always thought the "F" looked like the F in the Fender guitar logo.

Fett I believe translate to 'farmer'. Farmer - wheat. I think thats the connection as far as I can remember

Why does everyone have to be a farmboy in Star Wars?

Jango was found by Jaster Mereel in a wheat type field in the comic miniseries

 

[Remo]

But that logo was created a long time before that comic. What, more ret-conning.

 

[AncientFett]

In what language does Fett translate into farmer?

 

[Mattastic13]

mando'a

I think it is actually vhett

again more ret-conning

 

[Ronin677]

Just checked my guitar to check the 'F' in Fender (hope that doesn't sound bad )

Fenders are made by the Fett family

 

[TAG Jaster]

mando'a

I think it is actually vhett

again more ret-conning

Yeah I just looked at the Mando'a language pdf and it has: [Mando'a]vhet | [Pronunciation]fet | [English]Farmer, found at the bottom of page 22. But make of it what you will.:rolleyes

Verrry old thread, but I found it trying to get info on whether the backwards F may indeed have been inspired by Fender guitars becaus thats what it always reminded me of, too.

I found no such info.
But maybe I can shed some light on the emblem "in universe":

• It is called "Jasters Feather", so no connection with Fett meaning farmer in mando'a
• Jaster Mereel was a Mandalorian (and Mand'alor, the leader of all Mandalorian clans) who adopted Jango Fett, an orphaned farmers child
• "Jasters Feather" is also called "Jasters Journeyman Protector Sigil", where it was a unique-to-him emblem
  (the Journeyman Protectors being something of a policing group on Jasters and Jangos home planet, Concord Dawn)
• It was sported on Jasters, later Jangos ship, although I don't known, whether the logo was added by Jango
• Boba wore it on his armor as an homage to Jaster and possibly Jango

Bit late to the party but doesn't this backwards F on the journeyman sigil translate to "D" or 'Dorn' in the Star Wars Language ?
