Jango Fett is not a Mandalorian?

Well then you are contradicting your argument. If EU made the future of SW possible, then Lucas should make a double-effort to keep his work as close to EU as possible. Especially if EU contributed from the financial aspect to the PT. And it was EU that kept SW alive when Lucas abandoned SW.

Spoiler:
Like it or not, the films have been and always will be the primary source of the Star Wars franchise in terms of profit, fandom, and legacy. That doesn't mean that there aren't EU works of superior quality to any of the movies, but the films will always mean far more where the public is concerned. And it is for this very reason that George has no regard for the EU, though he probably should for consistency's sake.

WOOOW!! I takes over three pages of posts to state something so.... simple!
once jango's parents were killed in the war the death watch took him in gave him some scrounged up armor and weapons, and set him off.
then he had Boba fett cloned exactly like him. traits, skill,etc.

^_.

I'm contradicting my argument? I'm stating a fact. You're argument is that Lucas should work as hard as possible to fit his vision to the EU. How in the hell am I contradicting my argument?

What we got here is blatant denial, which I admit, I find absolutely fascinating. "It doesn't matter what Lucas says, the author from the 90s says Boba is this way - so THAT'S IT!"

This Clone Wars TV series is gonna create a rift. It brought back a dead Eeth Koth, Darth Maul, Gardulla the Hutt - stripped way Jango and Boba's Mandoness...and I bet there's more to come. People are gonna follow LUCAS' Star Wars and people are gonna remain in denial, living in their outdated 90s novels.

Personally, I prefer the author of Star Wars as the definitive source. I love the EU, but I do know there's only one real author to this stuff.

There was 16 years worth of EU in the time between ROTJ and TPM.

Check this out...it's a list of stuff from licensed EU creators that have appeared in the films. From Timothy Zahn's 1991 Coruscant to Aayla Secura.

As far as the notion that Lucas has TOTAL disregard for the EU, that's dumb. He's just not letting the EU limit himself...as he did with the Prequels. It's just hard for people to accept that the Fett's are no longer Mandalorian. 🙁 They just wear Mandalorian Gear.

I find it easy. Probably because I never cared about Jango or Boba.

Oh.

Wookieepedia has an article on the "Fett Clan". I don't know if Mandalorians adopt their clan name as their last name, but with Jango's immediate family, they all possessed it as such. So it's either 4,000 years of lineage being kept within the Mandalorian society and the Fett clan's survival that whole time, or there were possible breaks in the chain and the surname Fett survived 4,000 years.

F*ckin goddamn Drew Karpyshyn.

You should read the whole thread before you 'thumbs up' this guy.

Caring about the continuity and probability within Star Wars canon is not the same as caring about the character the situation is specifically referring to.

That's impossible because I don't know you. Okay, fine. You don't care about Jango or Boba Fett...just their effect on the continuity.

There ya go.

Actually, pretty sure that Eeth Koth just died in Jedi Twilight. Its a bit too early to ret-con that.

and there isn't just one real author. there are multiple authors.

Eeth Koth has been dead in the EU since 2003.

Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, published in 2003, stated that Koth died during the Battle of Geonosis when his gunship was brought down by enemy fire. However, Koth was mentioned as fighting in the Clone Wars in the 2008 novel Wild Space. When "Grievous Intrigue," a 2010 episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was being written, series supervising director Dave Filoni wanted to use Koth, but was told by both Leland Chee, keeper of the Holocron continuity database, and Pablo Hidalgo, Internet Content Manager for Lucas Online, that the character was dead. Filoni then received permission from George Lucas to resurrect the character. Koth had been slated to die at the beginning of "Grievous Intrigue," but Filoni decided that he was an interesting enough character to use in future episodes of the series.

By George! He's alive.

LOL. That is a huge **** you to Leland Chee. **** Dave Filoni for that.

I was thinking of Evan Piel this morning.

That's .... interesting.

Yeah - Even Piell has been dead in the EU since 2008. I got the comic where Yarael Poof dies, I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in an episode at this point.
