The Mandalorian Boba Fett in The Mandalorian & Spinoffs (Spoilers)

It was hard to tell, especially since Boba Fett's pant legs cover his boots. Vanth also doesn't have the utility belt, but that and the codpiece could be a single unit, so if Vanth doesn't have the codpiece, he won't have the utility belt.

 

Is Jango's armour made of beaker? Presumably Boba didn't collect it after AOTC?

I don't think Boba is there to collect the armour - unless it's Jango's - or hunt Baby Yoda - that brings death. I expect he will have a conversation with Djin about the perils of the self-righteous Jedi/wizards.

 

He fights dirty.

 

So you are telling me Young boba didn't take the headless corpse of his father, and remove his armour from the headless corpes?

I don't think it was Jangos armour. i do wonder what the idea was with the Clone wars episode that never got made though.

 

The kid gave the helmet a good shake until the head plopped out, then put the helmet on his own head.

 

I remember this being asked just after AOTC was released in 2002. The truth is, you actually see the shadow of Jango's head fly out of the helmet when he gets beheaded:

 

Going by The Clone Wars, Boba's helmet actually isn't Jango's original, since we see Boba rig it as a bomb during the series. The rest of the armor is presumably passed down from Jango, however.

You can even see the paint chipping away on Boba's armor while Cobb is wearing it, revealing what looks to be more of Jango's paint scheme underneath:

 

Is is Jango's armour then? And it's beskar?

 

It is meant to be Jango's armor yes, they destroyed the helmet because Lucas and Filoni felt they had a cooler idea for how the dent got in the helmet then Lucas had already told in Attack of The Clones (then proceeded to wait 4 seasons before getting around to it, meaning they never got around to it at all), the rest should be assumed to be Jango's. That doesn't make it Beskar though.

 

I was under the impression that they were two completely different sets of armor.

 

It's obviously not the same armour.

 

It's Legends now, but in the first Boba Fett YA novel - The Fight to Survive - Boba's actions after the death of his father are detailed. The Geonosians send drones in to clear the arena of the dead bodies and damaged droids. Scoops are sent to pick up the droids and take them to a droid scrap pile for recycling. Boba maneuvers his father's body so the scoop will pick it up (it's still armored so the scoop thinks it's a droid). Boba sits beside the body as it's taken to the scrap pile. Once the body is on the pile Boba drags it over to a nearby mesa and removes the armor. He uses a broken droid arm as a shovel to bury Jango and uses droid parts to fashion a J and F on top of the grave.
After sleeping near the grave he takes care of things the next morning. He's too small to wear or even carry the armor so he cleans it and hides it in a small cave under a cliff for retrieval later. He takes the helmet with him as it contains unlocking codes for retrieving things from their Geonosian home. After going there he leaves on Slave I and returns to Kamino.

It's been awhile since I read the series so I don't know if it addresses retrieval of the armor.

 

The way I’ve always seen it, Jango and subsequently, Boba, were rich as hell. No way he couldn’t/wouldn’t have beskar.

And I feel like the paint chipping on the armor now is just making it more obvious that it was indeed beskar.

 

Jango and Boba probs had different armors (tho some part of Boba's armor might've once been Jango's). They already had different jetpacks for example.

 

Except Jango did not have a paint scheme, apart from the blue on the helmet. It's bare metal but obviously not beskar like Din's as the hue is different. Perhaps Jango was supposed to have beskar armour and the Prequel wardrobe department did not quite pull off the same look as those working on the Mandalorian.

 

Pretty sure Jango's armor is supposed to be pillaged from Death Watch, considering the outfit is almost identical. Dull grey beskar, blue body suit, even the belt. By contrast, Boba's is scavenged/bought from various sources which is why it's multi-colored.



Boba's chestplate seems to bare a stylized version of one of the emblems of Clan Vizsla. Considering Rebels came out well after ESB, this seems like an intentional retcon.

 

people still think boba and jango are random bounty hunters

 

Live action Death Watch do not wear the Jango style armor seen on the cartoons. And their colors for whatever reason were inverted. The armored uniforms of Death Watch on The Mandalorian resemble Djarin's style minus the imperial armor pieces he uses as a substitute for forged Beskar.

 

Is it really important that Boba be Mandalorian? he already has a unique backstory. at this point i ain't sure it would add anything.

 

really looking forward to Boba in this series and any mention of jango and concord Dawn

 

Personally i feel like Boba's involvement will never be about mandalorian culture. and when it comes to just how important the mandalorian stuff is over the Baby yoda stuff... its pretty small in comparison. so anything with Boba i can only imagine will have to be about the child.

 

Making Boba Fett a Mandolorian is unneccesary but Boba Fett's involvement will surely be about Boba Fett's armor that Din Djarin currently has instead of baby, the writers place Din in possession of it for a reason, one would think. Baby Yoda isn't the only plotthread in the show, Gideon, Ahsoka, Greef and Cara's involvement in the show will surely be all about the price on Baby Yoda's head, that doesn't have to end all be all for every guest character in the show.
