Before: "Just like the simulations!"
After: "This is nothing like the simulations..."

Anybody else just want a war movie with the clones in it? Maybe a Jedi General?

The Clone Troopers was one of the best things to come out of The Clone Wars series!

Beginning of the War: Alright! We finally get to see some action and scrap some clankers! All while being led by the legendary jedi.

End of the War: Really, the jedi is ordering another frontal charge? Ugh, I wish I could just shoot that incompetent;

hold on, I'm getting a phone call.

I wouldn't call Jango a narcissist, he was only following the advice of Roz as she was dying. Have a kid, move on from the life of bounty hunting. That's what he did, but do you think a man who went from a farm boy on Concord Dawn, to a mandalorian supercommando, MANDALORE HIMSELF, and then a notorious and despised bounty hunter, would be willing to endanger a woman and make her a target for thugs and people trying to get revenge on him? Boba was his way to have a kid and not get attached to a woman, it wasn't narcissism, it was his way of actually protecting himself and someone else, from needlessly being killed if someone decided to come looking for family (And scumbags will do that, they don't go after the person that wronged them, they go after that person's family, because the only way to exact revenge is to take something away from them that they cherish.)

With Jango, all he has is Boba, and just like Jaster trained Jango, Jango raised Boba until he was killed. This in turn made Boba mirror his father in that he also couldn't really fall in love with someone for very long. They're not narcissists, they're just not emotionally equipped to settle down. They at least tried though.

every single clone that died felt like a stab to the stomach

Man the Kaminoans were marketing masters!

R.I.P. Jango Fett.

Murdered by Mace Windu, and got his legacy butchered in the new Canon.

What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word.

The clones were and probably still are my favorite part of the clone Wars...and maybe all of Star Wars in General

[reecedignan]

The 501st Journal will always be my first step into the humanisation of the Clones and Stormtroopers for me. Seeing that the faceless men i played as and watched charge into battle were just as human as the commanders who lead them to their deaths.

I really dont like how they imply jango isn't a mando. I really hope they fix that.

[jamesjacobs]

A: Wanting to have a son is not narcissistic. If you read the Bounty Hunter books you'd see how much Jango cares for his son. B: Jango wasn't just an actual Mandolorian, he was given the title of Mandalore, leader of all Mandalorians, before the Jedi wiped out most if the True Mandalorians warriors and Satine was allowed to usurp Mandalore. Jango is the exact opposite of a narcissistic psycopath.

[TheEmperorsChampion]

Jango Fett will always be a mandalorian in my eyes

[The_Lone_Outlaw]

Whoa. WHOA! You did NOT just diss my boy Jango?! You did NOT just do that. No no. No. You take that back.

[JS-wpgs]

Hmm.... the minds of a 9 year old....wait....it all makes perfect sense now...palpatine is actually pedobear

[nickc]

Is it canon that Jango isn't mandalorian? I thought that was just the new peaceful mandalorian government disavowing and condemning him for his actions.

[JaelaOrdo]

I hate the bullshit of “oh jango wasn’t a mandalorian.” Really? Last I checked he was mandalore after jaster mereel died but whatever
