    I was just thinking, if Boba Fett found out about Jangotat's son, what would he think of him? And technically, how would they be related? Because the clone's refer to themselves as "brothers", so I guess the son of Jangotat would be Boba's nephew, but since Jangotat and Boba have the same genetic material, the child could technically also be Boba's son, this would make a great fanfic. Feel free to use it.

    Boba distanced himself from the Clone Troopers just like Jango did. To Jango Fett, his troopers weren't his 'children', only Boba was.

    It might weird him out alittle bit but I imagine it occurred to him that the Stormtroopers might occasionally leave a little bundle of joy on the world's they pass by.

    So during his Bounty Hunting career...not much.

    HOWEVER....

    When Boba is rebuilding the decimated Mandalorians, I think it is possible he might seek out the children of Stormtroopers though. They would be the best source of "Mandalorian blood"

    That's just fan speculation on my part though.

    Boba Fett has his own child (a daughter I think) which would genetically be a half-sibling to Jangotat's son.

    EDIT: In a genetic sense, Boba is also the father of Jangotat's son.

    Actually more like cousins.

    Clones are just identical twins really

    Wouldn't identical twins have a very slight variance in their genetic code? One that wouldn't make much of a difference in how they appear, more like one twin being slightly shorter than the other though they still look alike.

    Differences are unlikely. The point of an identical twin is that they shared the same initial egg and sperm, and thus genetic code, with something wonky happening in the first cell divisions so they end up separate entities with the same genetic code. Now, mutations are possible, just unlikely. :)

    >>"Boba distanced himself from the Clone Troopers just like Jango did."<<

    Indeed, thirty one months into the war he was having no trouble killing them. I don't think Boba would hesitate to kill baby Jangotat if he had to (although I can't see him murdering the baby out of cold blood).

    "Boba Fett has his own child (a daughter I think)"

    The baby's sex has never actually been established either way.

    Nope its very careful not to establish any sex to the child. The article is about the child's mother only, and the child is mentioned only in relation to her.

    Personally, I want to see a story about an ARC trooper that hears that Jango chose one clone to be his son, and goes AWOL to try to murder and assume Boba's identity. After all, if you were one of Jango's clones, wouldn't you be jealous of the one single clone that he chose to be his son and have the freedom to fight for himself and make his own choices?

    There's an ARC called Spar who was one of the initial "test batch" of 100 ARCs. Something went wrong with him and he went rogue.

    The DNA is identical. Slight differences in appearance are due to the whole nature vs. nurture issue. For example, with height, only the range of a person's height is determined by genetics, the rest is due to diet and other external things.

    Sure, one might be jealous, but killing boba won't make a clone into Jango's "son" and/or give him the freedom that being a clonetrooper with slightly tinkered genes already denies him. I think the clones, as shown in Cestus Deception and elsewhere, are proud enough to consider themselves as brothers of Jango.

    Still having a clone go rogue and feel that he has to prove himself as better than the unadulterated Jango genes (Boba) could make for an interesting story... although the matchup might not be even.. Boba's a kid but has Jango's independent thinking and weapons and ship. the clone might be more physically matured, trained through jango's training regimen, but wouldn't have the arsenal unless he stole it from the army or elsewhere.

    Since the clones have been genetically manipulated to age more rapidly, I wonder if this accelerated age progression will be passed down to any children they sire?

    I'd wager Geonosis & the Outer Rim sourcebook.

    Just a quickie: as far as the Gamer stuff, my understanding was that it was ranked somewhere just above fanfic, near Infinities, in the EU hierarchy; does that still stand?
    *Personal view - none of it's any more real than the rest, so Good Stuff=Canon; if it Sucks=chuck it!*

    Gamer is as canon as Literature.

    Clonetroops can reproduce, then?

    This then would imply the Giraffe Necks didn't build clones just to fight, which would contradict a multitude of sources. Unless the Jangotat doesn't intend to marry, and the thread is specualting what Fett would think of any union's offspring? I haven't read Cestus yet.

    Boba distanced himself from the Clone Troopers just like Jango did.

    o_O How did he distance himself from them? He trained the early ARC troopers personally. He hired some of the best mercs in the galaxy to train the commandos. Until they wound up on opposite sides of a war I would say he was quite close to the clones.

    Yup. At least the ARCs were granted that particular...ability. [face_thinking]

    Their "heavy field artillery" does not fire blanks.

    The OS confirmed clones could have little uns way back in 2002, just after Ep2 came out.
