Guess I’ll start the Greedo talks...

Boba is Jango. Actually all clones were Jango. So technically Jango is in the game, just not in name.

Honestly I get the Jango love more than the Boba love... Boba looked neat in one movie, had no lines, and then got eaten by a grue in a second movie. It took fanfic to rescue him from the sarlac and tell more stories in the EU.

Jango had a bit of canon story and looked just as cool.

I do love Jango, probably more than Boba (I grew up with the prequels, him and Grevious were my favourites) but what I like about Boba in the originals is his presence. The way Vader, the guy that looks like the ultimate evil, has to single him out for his ruthlessness with the "No disintegrations" line. And there's the little bit of backtalk he gives him later. Really anyone who looks Vader dead in the eye and doesn't squirm is pretty badass in my book.

This. No fear whatsoever. No masters. Beholden to none.

Exactly. You don’t need lots of dialogue to be intimidating. Boba had a presence about him. That’s why he was such a fan favorite despite his lack of dialogue and screen time.

Less cool? He had 1,000% more lines, his armor looks far more awesome, and he was involved in more than one fight scene.

And sometimes less is more, particularly when it comes to Lucas’ prequel writing. Boba was menacing. Jango was as bad as just about everything else in the prequels.

I’m sure this is going to end with an “agreed to disagree”, but Boba got shot by a half blind Han, and fell into the Sarlac Pit. Jango was strong/ smart/ killer enough to be selected as the prime cloning person, killed like 6 Jedi, got ran over by a giant animal, and only died because his equipment malfunctioned.

Perhaps this is generational. Jango, like so much else from the prequels, seemed to me like a bad impression of something that worked in the original trilogy, complete with a child sidekick. Boba would have killed Han, Chewie and Lando if not for Jedi Luke’s intervention. His equipment also malfunctioned. But he was more intimidating BECAUSE he didn’t say much. A real badass doesn’t have to tell you how much of a badass he is.

When he "looks vader dead in the eye", if you look closely you can actually see he had his eyes closed under his helmet.

Boba was pretty much grunt lackey material in the OT.

Jango gave no shits. Dude just casually has a 1v1 with Kenobi.

there is a version they will just nerf Greedos performance in raid! Lol

Yeah, many times actually. And I really like all those characters added to the SW lore. Lightsaber battles were awesome. I know Jar Jar and Hayden Christensen suck, but I can look beyond that.

The prequels make up in CGI and FX where the OG trilogy lacked and the OG trilogy made up in script/acting where the prequels slacked imho

Embo's gonna come. He's going to be a straight up powerhouse and maybe a trick for healing and he'll be a must use for STR and make a deep dent in DS TB. #soon
