Why did Jango lived with the cloners?

Im pretty sure this has been asked before, but its unclear to me.

Why keep Jango Fett in there? did they needed him for any reason?

 

They had to continually draw blood from him for the cloning process.

 

No they don't and that was never said in AOTC. All they say is that "Oh, we keep him around."

 

I believe Jango aided in training the clones for combat.

 

I believe he lived there to keep watch for dooku, as soon as Jango knows that the jedi have seen the clones he goes straight to dooku to warn him.

 

No they don't and that was never said in AOTC. All they say is that "Oh, we keep him around."

No reason is given in the film at all. The reason I listed came from the original screenplay. The dialogue was edited out. In the absence of any actual reason given in the film, I went with the script.

Is that all right with you?

 

The "need blood occasionally" thing is also the most logical explanation in my mind. Even upon just seeing the movie the first time, having NOT read the script or book, that was my assumption.

Alternate theory that might be interesting though:

Maybe they want him there so he's not off peddling his DNA to the rest of the galaxy...




Rick McCallum loves you!

 

I believe in the novel it states that also. Jango was needed on Kamino to draw blood continuously. But then that begs the question, who are the stormtroopers really clones of? Boba?

 

Maybe they try to keep him there so he might not tell anyone what's happening. That could have been "Sifo-Dyas'" request.

 

DarthMaul3-

Possibly.

 

ACcording to the novelisation, the Kaminoans needed a steady supply of DNA. The impression I got was that cloning a clone= subpar clone, and using stale DNA is a no-no

 

2 reasons...

• Fresh DNA samples
• Jango helped to train the clones

[face_shocked] GASP! Once again, General_Fel has introduced EU evidence to support his arguments in the movie forums! Egads!

 

Maybe Jango knew the files about Kamino was erased in the Jedi records and figure that Kamino was the perfect place to hide out.

 

First off Jango did not help train the clones. Second there is no reason to take more of his blood, they have millions of exact copies of him to take blood from. In hydroponics, clones are taken then the clones are cloned, then those clones are cloned etc....

Actually, in the Star Wars Boba Fett books chronicaling young Boba's escape from Geonosis and further adventures, young Boba remembers watching his father train the clones. Yes, it's EU, but let's not argue about it. It's Star Wars , and that's all that matters.

An interesting argument, though I was always led to believe that a clone of a clone of a clone is vastly inferior to the clone of the original template. However, this is sci-fi so the normal rules of nature and genetics are thrown out the window. However, this theory of keeping him to extract additional DNA samples makes sense to most people.

 

Free rent.

And there was probably a lot of DNA needing and experiments and stuff.

 

As many have said already, the Kaminoans needed constant fresh DNA samples from Jango. That is the reason why when Jango died, no more clones could be made from his stock. Therefore, the stormtroopers in the OT are clones from difference sources. A few of them are leftover from the PT, like the one that hits his head, but most are new clones.

 

Taking a clone from a clone is exactly like taking a clone from the host, that's why they are called clones. I believe in Ep3 we will see why the stormtroppers are not clones and its not because of jango being killed.

In case you dont know, clones are exact replics of the host, once a clone is mature enough, it can be cloned as simply and effienctly as the host. Cloneing is nothing new, it takes LOTS of water and humidity, thats why kalimno is a water planet where it always rains. Do a search on the web for hydroponic cloneing, they simplly didnt need jango after the first group of clones matured.


He was there to keep an eye out for the jedi, and lead them to the arena.

 

If the Kaminoans could simply take DNA from a clone, Jango wouldn't have had to stay on Kamino.

 

Well, I'll put my $0.02 as a biochemist: in theory, with making clones, you'd need fresh DNA after awhile, since, well, you know what happens when you makes copies of copies. The quality gets bad...

but, then again, this *is* Star Wars science, so, I could be wrong...

 

I agree with JediTBD.

And Jang did help train the clones.

 

i figure once you have a samople couldn't you just make another and as a devils advicat a clone of a clone of a clon of a clone .....ect. its not pure. to explain it better the dna would get messed up.

and what are the boba fett adventures where can i get them

 

I'll go with Ret's answer as most obvious: free rent.

Regardless of the science involved in the cloning, Fett would still need a place to stay.

On top of that, what better place for a bounty hunter to hide than one that has been deleted from the Jedi library?

ON TOP OF THAT, even if he were discovered and followed, no one can say he wouldn't have a place to hide among the millions of replicas milling about!

 

He didnt have to stay there for fresh blood , I mean they could have taken plenty samples and just freeze it

 

Um, yes he did.
