To be fair though, considering the position Jango was in right there, anyone could have possible gunned down Mace then had they been right where Jango was. As for when he is shooting at Mace on the battle field, Jango was sort of just pointing and shooting while Mace easily deflected the blaster bolts while running at him. Then quickly decapitating him. Mace seemed to do it easily.
But the novel says otherwise. In the movie we see Mace deflecting Jangos shots and then beheading him. But we have no idea how much trouble he was having, apart from ones perception of the battle. However the AOTC novel says that Jangos well placed shots caused Mace to swing his saber wildly. This doesnt contradict the movie therefore it is canon.
Now I saw it brought up that Jango was a jedi hunter. Yet i have not seen anything to support this. Jango was a bounty hunter. While one of the best it is obvious that he is not as well know. Remember when he is seen flying away after shooting that one bounty hunter with a kamino saber dart. Has he been real well known, they would have reconized it as him. Not many bounty hunters go around in Mandalorian armor you know. I have little doubt that Jango is almost as good as Boba, but Boba is still a little better. He learned a lot from Jango and had the benifit of more years of experiance.
Fair enough. I havent read any of the EU novels so I cant really form an argument. However Jango was defeated by the second best jedi in the jedi order. Boba was defeated by a blind man, who wasnt trying to kill him and had his back turned to Boba. This would lead me to beleive Jango is more efficient with his kill, and doesnt waste time eg the Kamino dart. However Boba is more of a guns blazing type guy eg "No disentagrations".
