why did they need Jango Fett as the prime clone? it isn't like his skills are built into his DNA. They could have used anyone, and just had Jango teach them, couldn't they?

Maybe his DNA was thew best appropriate, like ha was naturally the best athlete, best eye to hand coordination, stuff like that, Dooku only wanted the best man.

Why not get him?

They could get one guy for the DNA and one other guy for training instructions and techniques etc, or just one guy for both jobs.

Physical and mental traits can be passed down through the genes. Combined with his actual instruction, ya got some good clones there.

DNA can influnece more than just physical traits. Its safe to say that the Kaminoans knowledge of genetic engineering was not advanced enough to create a human from scratch. They needed a base template to build on.

Especially with the right training, Jango could basically teach the clones, especiall the enhanced ones, to unlock himself. He knew how they worked because well, they were him. That sort of training is invaluable.

Yeah, like they were saying, its like if you took Michael Jordan and cloned him, of course he would be able to train to them to play like himself because of course its him, and he has that natural god-given talent for the template. You take someone like Dwyane Wade, or Randy Moss (played in HS), and let Michael train him it just wouldnt be the same.
