Who is Jango Fett?

To answer the most frequently asked question from my previous blog post, and to be annoyingly thorough, this is Jango Fett.

"I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe."
―Jango Fett

Jango Fett was a renowned bounty hunter, assassin, mercenary, and the "father" of Boba Fett, a genetic clone of his whom he raised as a son. A Human from Concord Dawn, Fett was adopted by Mandalorian warriors following the murder of his parents in 58 BBY. Years later, he would go on to lead them through much of the Mandalorian Civil War. After being imprisoned by Jedi, Jango was responsible for destroying the Death Watch, a Mandalorian group who killed Jango's mentor, Jaster Mereel.

Following the conclusion of that conflict, Jango left the Mandalorians and became a bounty hunter, quickly establishing a reputation as being one of the best in the galaxy. Later on, Fett agreed to serve as the genetic template for the clones that would form the bulk of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. When Master Obi-Wan Kenobi located Jango and Boba on Kamino, Jango fled to join Count Dooku. Though struck down by Mace Windu in combat, Jango’s legacy would live on through his son Boba, as well as his cloned brethren, who would have a profound impact on galactic history.

What? You asked. FYI I don't know or care who Jaster Mereel is, or where Concord Dawn is or understand 58 BBY as any measurement of time. I do, however, know who Obi-Wan and Mace Windu are, can picture Kamino in my head, as well as the Grand Army of the Republic. I didn't say I liked it though. Dang the 3 boys that live in my house.
