Why did Boba Fett choose different sides than his father?

It seems Boba Fett had a lot of respect for his father, considering he wanted to be like him in every way. So why would Boba Fett choose to side with the Empire? His father fought and died fighting against the Republic, why would Boba Fett ally himself with the government the Republic eventually turned into?

 

He's not allied with anyone in particular, he just goes to wherever pays the best.

ps. I love your icon.

 

Actually, neither ONE of them were "allied" with anybody. Both father and "son" worked for whoever had the deepest wallets.

 

>>>His father fought and died fighting against the Republic...

He also lived and worked with the Republic's army on Kamino...

 

Scott3eyez makes a good point: if Jango hadn't been killed when he was, he'd have been fighting the very same army of the Republic created from his own genetic material. In a sense, that's like a father fighting against his own children with the intent to kill. Clearly he does not take sides, but rather jobs offered by the highest bidder. Boba does take after his father--exactly--as a bounty hunter trying to make his way in the universe.

 

I don't vote for the same people my Dad votes for.

But then again, my Dad's head never got chopped off by any particular political party, nor did millions of my genetic brethren die in a massive galactic war. Hmmm...

It's a rich tapestry.

 

You have to look at it this way:
Jango Fett was a BOUNTY HUNTER. Boba Fett was a BOUNTY HUNTER. They hunted bounties. Yes, Jango fett DID fight against the many duplicates of himself, BUT, he was paid a hefty price to 1)give his gentic makeover to them. 2)try to defend against this many duplicates. Boba Fett also faced this same delema, he worked for various inividuals, (if anyone here has read the books you know what I mean) and he also liked to work for Vader,(who else has the biggest wallet?).

 

jango worked for dooku.

dooku worked for palpatine.



the reality of the situation is that he never really switched sides. in star wars, good and evil are the only sides.

 

Speaking of which, when Jago got his head lopped off, where did it go? I mean the head, not the helmet.. it's not like he had a chin strap on.

 

you can see it fall out if you watch VERY carefully...


oh and boba above all else, maybe even the money would go after the Jedi Knights...i mean they killed his dad

Why not post in the AOTC forum "timing of Jango's death"

 

Jango fett DID fight against the many duplicates of himself

When?

 

I always wondered why no one made any connection between the man that works for Count Dooku, Separatist Leader (as clearly seen in the Arena Battle) and the man that serves as "model" for the entire Republic Army. I mean... The same guy that is one side Leader's henchman is also the same guy that is the other side Army's model. I think that's curious enought to make someone suspect about a conspiracy!!!

 

By the time the Jedi think through the conspiracy angles, it's too late - the war has started, and they've brought in the Clones on the side of the republic, under Jedi command.

Combine this with the following facts: (1) The clone army was unauthorized; (2) the order for the clons army was made in the name of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas; (3) the existence of the clone army was "discovered" by Obi-Wan Kenobi; (4) the genetic source for the army was a known ally of Count Dooku, a former Jedi -- all of these things have been orchestrated to point to a JEDI conspiracy, not a Sith conspiracy or a plot by Palpatine. And deliberately so.

Even when the Jedi know what's going on, their hands are tied. They can't go to the Senate with this information, because all the clues point to the Jedi as the traitors.

You see it fall out by watching the Shadow.

I don't think the Jedi even suspected a conspiracy, which is a fallacy of the script in my opinion. The Jedi have evidence that the Clones are part of an evil plot, but the script tosses that to the wind when Yoda deploys the troops with no clear urgency that he was portrayed as seeing. In fact, Yoda supercedes Palpatine because he receives no orders to do this. And where is his motivation. He had no reason to believe that he would be saving any lives, unless you infer that he had a force premonition. But that's a stretch as it seems not to be the implied motivation. The implied motivation seems to be that 200 Jedi "doesn't seem like enough." That's no motivation for starting an outright war, especially by Yoda, who we know doesn't want war.

Didn't mean to derail, but in another thread, I did see it as blind to not raise an eyebrow at the known fact that Jango was connected with the Seperatists as well as the Clone conspirators.

 

I don't think it was a fallacy of the script, I think it was more a fallacy of the Jedi, brought on in part by Sidious' deliberately timing things so that the Jedi would feel compelled to bring the army into action and not take the time to investigate the situation.

 

bounty hunters never take sides, they get paid to work on any side Jango got paid to work for the Separetists, Boba got paid to work for the Empire, plus, the Separatists may over throw the Republic and become the Empire
some one explain it better
The book, "The Emporers Plague" will explaim it
I hope you understand.

 

Jango and Boba are examples of having all the armor and
weapons in the world at your disposal means nothing if
your not passionate about the cause your fighting for
( i.e. in it for the money ). Notice how their deaths
are the least ceremonious ( Not including droids and
stormtroopers ).

 

Boba is just like his father, because he is is father.


Who said that Boba died? We see him get swallowed, but with all that wepondry and the week stomach acids of the scarlacc, he'll be out of there in no time.

 

boba and jango were never on any sides. they worked for whoever would pay them. boba worked for the empire and the hutts. jango worked for the republic and the separatists. they never worked for the same organizations.

 

Both Boba and Jango looked out for their own self interests, like typical bounty hunters. Boba never sworn allegence to be Vader's main assasin, he just made a deal to get Han Solo, which he turned to Hutt for some dough. Jango looked out for his wallet too.

BTW, does anyone know about Jango's father? Does Jango lineage trace down to Cassius Fett?
