The Fett armour jet pack's vulnerability/lack of reliability, is to be considered.In both AOTC and ROTJ its pretty clear that that pack is susceptible to being fubared with even the most minor of damage/glancing blow with fatal consequences for the user..
(The kind of blow that Batman is likely to be able to inflict many times over.)And I would dispute the speed of Jango's jet pack. It clearly cannot do hundreds of feet in a second. Proponents of the jetpack asserting that forget that its dragging a heavy assed suit of armour with a heavy set guy in it, and all that drag/wind resistance... Not to mention the rate of acceleration requiring perhaps longer than that second to achieve the velocity in question. etc
The best evidence of all though is in the movies where his rates of speed are shown on camera as being much less than is chatted about here.
I was going to bring that up, based on how easily Boba's jetpack was ruined, but I don't know if they have the same pack, I'd think so, but who knows. It is fully exposed though, so he's basically carrying a can of flamable liquid on his back, which could be used as a weapon against him.
You bring up a good point, it's more of a jump-pack, short slow burst of vertical flying, as seen per the films. He's certainly no Rocketeer.
