Jango and the Mandalorians (It's all happening!...possible Episode II spoilers)

Just wait until E3 my friend. If GL was going to have the Mandalorians in the film or have Boba interact with them at all he would have set it up in AotC.

He did. JANGO FETT IS MANDALORIAN

TOS has said FORGET what you think you know about Boba's past, I dunno why this jounry man stuff is still coming up.

Steve Sansweet said that, not Lucasfilm. Also, as so many seem to forget somehow, he was a Journeyman Protector between trilogies.

Hate to burst your bubble, no Mandalorians in Episode II, take it from me, a major spoiler freak.

See above.

Except for when E3 contridicts some of it.

Can I borrow that time machine?

I'm not saying Jango isn't one. I'm saying Boba won't be one or be raised by them, and they won't fight in the clone wars.

The Clone Wars happen over the course of 2 years. Are you saying that Episodes II and III will run for about 3 years straight, showing us every single planet and character that fights in them?

He knows if Boba is going to live the mandalorians or not - and I'm pretty sure he doesnt' care if jango is or not becasue its not that important. However as I said, what Boba does is important.

That's funny. Luke, Leia and Lando were important during ESB, and yet he let Marvel comics show their adventures between movies, bridging the gap to ROTJ with no effort at all. Now why couldn't that happen for Boba Fett after AotC?

Also - MaCallum didn't have enough influence to have GL change where 3PO came from did he.

He came from Cybot Galactica. In case you didn't notice, Anakin didn't exactly create the protocol droids seen on the Trade Federation ship and Cloud City, did he? No, Threepio was salvaged and rebuilt. Go look at your Episode I Visual Dictionary. It says that parts of him are over 80 years old. Guess what...that matches his age of 112 from earlier books.

Or have Padme be a member of - whatever that cult thing from Black Fleet was called.

Yet another person that didn't read the book, or finish the trilogy, I see.

MaCallum and bunch of others basically BEGGED GL to keep Coursant the same - and the fact that they had to do that should be proof enough he doesn't really care about EU.

Where is this documented?

So I might have been wrong there, howerver at least I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong.

You have a lot of admitting to do.

I'll bet I could on here after E3 is released and you still wouldn't admit that you and EU was wrong about Boba and the mandalorians.

I'll bet money on it.

Plus GL doesn't really care about EU...

His giving the Episode II script to the writers of the recent comics and PT novels was just an accident then?

No, the parts where taken from Watto's shop and were parts of everything

I seem to have missed that part of TPM...

I also remember Sturm spoiling - but you never said anything to him.

Hmm, kind of like when I PMed PadmeBra to remove your major spoilers on Count Dooku yesterday? I'm sorry, but the stuff I say is confirmed in the Insider or StarWars.com. Occasional stuff leaks out, but the threads usually have warnings. I've gotten no complaints other than yours.

I wish there was an intelligent purist to argue with. Someone bring in Iron Parrot!

 

I think the conversation went like this:

Rick: George, can we change 'Had Abaddon' to 'Coruscant' to fit with the books?

George: (Shrugs) Okay.

 

Exactly.

 

This is quite simple, really.

Boba Fett is a Mandalorian in the movies in the same way Vader is Dark Lord of the Sith.

Simple as that.

 

Jaeger gets a 48 hour ban after being told to stop posting in Lit.

 

Ghengis12 manages to sum it up in one sentance. Bravo!

 

Kier, it's funny beacause it's true.

 

Awesome!

One of the nice things to happen while I was away on holiday...

 

A very nice thing indeed...


And welcome back to this motley crew that we like to call a forum Gatherer.

 

Commander Antilles...
"Jaeger gets a 48 hour ban after being told to stop posting in Lit."

? Amazing.

The new marketing line...

"Commander Antilles - keeping EU Lit. free from movie-purist trolls!"

I just wanted to point out your reasonable use of mod powers in keeping the forums free from trolls didn't go unnoticed.

 

Thank you Commander Antilles
we are in your debt, .

 

This is rather interesting, because the Mandalorians appear in the Sith War. What I wonder is are they a starfaring tribe of human warriors, or are they their own alien race? This clarification would be much appreciated.

 

More than likely during this era of history, they're all, or mostly, humans, as evidenced by several Mandalorians in the Marvel series.

 

Just my thoughts on that anakin and the droid brain controversy a few posts back......should it ever arrise again......even were he to have a mini-chip stamping and designing facility in that hovel......i'm certain he doesnt know six million forms of communication...therefor...he had the brain from the start...

 

Yes, Mandalorian Iron comes from the Dark Lords of the Sith comic series. It can be penetrated by lightsabers, but it takes a while. Perhaps it became a bit more rare over the course of 4000 years.

 

Mandalorian iron can generally resist a lightsaber blade. However, modern Mandalorian armor most-certainly isn't made out of the stuff, as evidenced by "stat levels" of Boba and Jodo's Mandalorian armors.

Most likely the ability to make it is a dead art, gone after TOTJ times.

 

Is mandalorian armour made out of cortosis ore?

 

no

 

And it's magnetic, as shown by the two times Fett has been foiled by a giant magnet.

He likely had the brain, and the communications programs. He didn't have Threepio. The Threepio we know and love was created when Anakin loaded the programs onto the brain.

So, who taught anakin how to program? or did he take a program of basic brain functions from another source, and uploaded it onto the brain?

Or did the brain have basic programming but was memory wiped, and he just reactivated the brain(having to gain a personality and memories from scratch on his own after that)?

All I've read was that threepio achieved conciousness in the slave hovel. That can mean many things.

And it is standard for brain chips to have a rom(read only memory) of basic functions(and skills), that learn more, gain personalities and memory as they function in there writable memory sections.

 

This is indeed great news, and a small but sweet victory for us EU fanatics. This thread seemed like it was degenerating rather quickly, but Commander Antilles stepped in. I thank you for your quick and decisive action concerning jaeger.

 

Val...
"So, who taught anakin how to program?"

Maybe it was the midi's. The Force allowed Anakin to become an uncanny pod-racing ace, why can't they allow him to be some sort of a Force-induced "droid programming idiot-savant?"

 

Wow, thanks guys! Just when I thought the concept of midi-chlorians couldn't get any dummer, I see this. My day has been made.


So, can anyone reference the seen with the chip stamping plant in it?

 

I agree kier.
