- ALL YOU WANED TO KNOW AND MORE ABOUT JANGO FETT -
::::::::::::A WORD OF WARNING::::::::::::
This biography contains updated info from 'Attack of the Clones', and contains movie spoilers.

Jango Fett cultivated anonymity behind the faceplate of his Mandalorian helmet. Then he served as the template for a clone army, and suddenly Jango was everywhere. His clone "brothers" also wore masks, and they spread across the galaxy during the Clone Wars.

Orphaned when his settler parents were killed in an uprising by a rogue Mandalorian group called the 'Death Watch', led by .  Saved by Jaster Mereel and his group of Mandalorians peacekeepers, and soon joined their cause.  Becoming a squad commander, Jango led some of Jaster's groups into the major battles and soon began to earn the respect of the fellow Mandalorians.  When the Mandalorians were employed on what they thought was a simple mission on Korda Six, they found themselves walking into a trap set by the Death Watch.  In the process of escaping, Montross, Jaster's second in commander, left Jaster on the battle field.  As a result, Jaster was killed by Vizsla, the leader the Death Watch.  Montross found himself being forced to leave and all the Mandalorians wanting to follow Jango.  Jango became Jaster's Legacy.

On Galidraan, the Mandalorians found themselves on the wrong side of a battle once again. While thinking they were eliminating a group of rebels who wanted to overthrow the local government, they really were setting themselves up.  The Death Watch had planned to make the Mandalorians look like they had killed innocent people.  Once the Jedi arrived, it was a fierce battle.  A young Jedi Knight named Dooku realized the mistake, but only too late.  The Jedi Knights nearly eliminated their outnumbered opponents, and many of the Jedi lost their lives. Jango was the only Mandalorian in that battle left alive.  Sold to slavery, he sat in slave ships rotting away until space pirates invaded his ship, and he managed to get free in the process.  Jango retrieved his armor, which had been restored to original status by the governor of Galidraan, who set him up.  Hunting down the Death Watch, he finally walked away victorious after a long battle with Vizsla.  With nothing left to do now, Jango took up bounty hunting.

Jango received spectacular payoffs for his successes and earned a reputation as the best in the business. He flew a modified Firespray-class F-31 named Slave 1 Calling himself "just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe," Jango followed no ideologies and accepted jobs from anyone with money. But one private vendetta tortured him-his hatred for his fellow hunter Montross.

Years before, Montross had killed Jaster Mereel and mounted his armor-bearing the skull insignia of Mereel's regiment-in his home as a grim trophy. Montross had gone on a killing spree over time.  During a job collecting a bounty on the leader of the Bando Gora, Fett confronted Montross and walked away victorious.

Soon after the Battle of Naboo, a man named Tyrannus approached Jango on one of the moons of Bogden. Out of many tests, interviews with previous associates, and all out of the galaxy's bounty hunters, Jango had been picked to provide the genetic template for a clone army that would be grown on watery Kamino. Fett took up residence in Kamino's Tipoca City and proceeded to provide regular genetic samples. He continued his bounty-hunting career from this new base.

The Kaminoans paid well, but Jango also asked for something else from Dooku during the bargian. Prime Minister Lama Su gave Jango a newborn clone, unaltered, to raise as his own apprentice. Jango named his clone Boba.  Jango told Dooku that the clone would be "Jaster's legacy."

Jango Fett continued to do jobs for different employers while serving as the clone template and staying on Kamino. One such job involved the security of the entire Coruscant.  After acquiring an artifact for who he thought was an art collector, he found out that the artifact was going to be used to destroy Coruscant by a rogue madman.  Unwillingly pared at first with fellow hunter and shape-shifter Zam Wesell, they fought their way to stop General Ashaar Khorda from 'cleaning the corruptness of Coruscant.'  After saving Zam's life a few times, they ended up helping to save Coruscant along with the Jedi Yarael Poof, who died to save the planet.

Ten years into Jango's stay on Kamino, Tyranus -really Count Dooku- hired the bounty hunter to eliminate Senator Padmè Amidala on Coruscant for Nute Gunrary, head of the Trade Federation. Jango entrusted the job to Zam Wesell, but was forced to killed her when she threatened the security of the operation.

Obi-Wan, who had been present when Jango killed Zam Wesell, tracked the bounty hunter to Kamino through the toxic dart he used to silence Zam.  After being mistaken for having come checking up on the clone army process, he met with Jango and had a friendly 'chat.'  Jango, knowing the Jedi would be trouble, decided to leave with Boba.  Obi-Wan, on the other hand, had been instructed to bring Jango in for questioning by the Jedi Council.  What ensued was a fierce battle between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett.  Jango eventually got the upper hand, and he sent Obi-Wan to what appeared to be his death. Flying away in Slave 1, Obi-Wan showed up, having saved himself from death, and put a tracking beacon on Slave 1.
 
The Jedi Knight followed them to the asteroid rings of Geonosis and a large battle ensued.  Jango unleashed everything Slave 1 had at Obi-Wan, but Obi-Wan managed to evade them all.  Once again tricking Jango into thinking he was dead, Obi-Wan followed Jango down to Genosis and called on the Jedi.  Later on more Jedi invaded the planet's execution arena and the great battle of Genosis began. Protecting Dooku, Jango tried to help fight them off, but died in one-on-one combat with Jedi Master Mace Windu.
