Thank you @bat-ces8-blog and everyone who got me to 100 reblogs!
Wanted to post this to show that during his origin story in the classic 2002 video game Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango Fett did indeed care about the Clones. Jango said he was "proud" of them; he even let this be known to his son Boba Fett.
(Unlike the in-universe narrative claiming Jango cared nothing about the Clones & the only Clone Jango ever cared about was Boba.)
In the following Cutscene Storyboards from Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Mandalorian Bounty Hunter (And Prime Clone Template) Jango Fett said his Clones were a damn fine Army, ready for battle. When Jango discussed this with Boba, Jango told him: "You shouldn't feel sorry for them. I don't. I feel…Proud."
And I❤️this from @fox-trot talking about Jango Fett & his concerns with the lives & treatment of the Clones….
Jango Fett consistently fought the Kaminoans over reconditioning/ decommissioning. In the early days he managed to convince the Kaminoans to change the expected standard, allowing for more leniency regarding deviations in physical appearance, speech patterns, behavior, temperament, etc. This saved many lives. He also regularly stepped in & rescued clones scheduled to be reconditioned for ‘aberrant’ behavior or mental health concerns. The Null ARCs & Delta Squad were saved from death because of his intervention. He also had a secret operation where he smuggled at-risk clones off of Kamino.
Happy Fett Friday! SO glad the lore now allows Mandalorian Jetpacks to fly for longer periods of time.
Even though I ❤️ playing Star Wars Bounty Hunter way back in the day, I absolutely HATED how you were granted only mere seconds of flight time before your jetpack would shut off & force you to land so that it could re-charge/ cool-off from overheating.
In Attack of the Clones, after Jango Fett eliminated Zam Wesell with a Saber Dart, his Jetpack allowed a very quick escape from Obi-Wan & Anakin. And it was a QUICK escape. Unlike in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango didn't fly for a few seconds, then land to let his Jetpack recharge, then fly for a few more seconds, then land again, then fly a little bit more, then once again land, and then….
Hell, he never would have made it out of there if he had to do keep doing that slow-ass shit…
This is what happened. Jango took off. The sound of his Jetpack igniting drew the attention of Obi-Wan & Anakin. They observed Jango flying up higher & higher, furthering the distance between them so rapidly the Jedi realized that a pursuit at that point would be futile.
That's why it felt good to finally see Mandos airborne for extended periods. Throughout The Mandalorian TV series Boba Fett, Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, The Armorer & many other Mandalorians propelled themselves through the air & kicked shebs. During the Battle of Mandalore, it was so awesome to witness waves of Mandos that flew high above Mandalore, engage the Empire in battle & take back their homeworld. Because Mandalorians are stronger together....

So glad to see Boba Fett wearing a Kama is now official.
Boba showing respect to the Tuskens that took him into their tribe while simultaneously paying homage to his Mandalorian Heritage….
After tracking down & finally regaining his Mandalorian Armor, Boba Fett's Kama was originally his Tusken robes, with an opening on the right side to allow access to his blaster pistol. Some time later, Boba styled it to look more like the traditional Mandalorian Kama.
…From the Director that brought you Creed & Black Panther, Ryan Coogler drops the film ‘SINNERS’ tomorrow (April 18, 2025)…
Set in the middle of the 1930's, during the height of Jim Crow South, this film follows twin brothers that return home to not only face the extreme and violent racism of the era, but also confront another very deadly & ominous evil….
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell & Delroy Lindo.

Wait…Did that Anzellan Droidsmith Babu Frik just say (Right after "No squeezie")….
"I'm out, Motherf*cker!" at the end? 😆
It's canon now - We have our first "motherf*cker" in Star Wars! (AND it did NOT come from Mr. Samuel L. Jackson!)
❤️ Star Wars Andor. Thee BEST Star Wars TV series. Hands.Down. But….
…Not to startle anyone or anything like that, but…WTF happened to Bee-Two (B2EMO)?
…WHERE the Hell is Bee-Two?!?! WHERE IS HE….?
WTF, Cassian! Lil' guy was always stressed out, worrying about you. Now you're a Captain in the Rebellion, safe on Yavin IV, chillin' in your plush spot. And NOW you're gonna leave dude hanging. B2 is with strangers, not knowing you're ok, & wondering where he'll get his next recharge from....
Stop playin' Cass! Reclaim your prototype TIE Avenger, go scoop-up B2 & bring him on back home to Yavin IV so K-2SO can tell him to stop being so emotional & worrying so much about you every time you leave & how he'll toss 'em around some if he doesn't cut that sh!t out...😝

I recently watched the trailer for the film Smile 2. Even though I haven't even seen the original one yet, I want to see this sequel. Looks like a cool psychological supernatural horror flick. But what I didn't know was the lead actress (Naomi Scott) could not only act but dance & sing in real life, too.
Both this song and this scene are from the film. The song's catchy & I liked the choreography. Can't wait to see this movie.
Although the Phase-II Clone Trooper Armor always got a lot of love…The Phase-I Clone Trooper Armor was always the best design to me due to the Phase-I Armor's likeness to Jango Fett's Mandalorian Armor.
From the Phase-I Clone Trooper Armor. To the Phase-I Clone Commando Katarn-Class Armor. And especially the Phase-I ARC Trooper Armor with its numerous Mandalorian influences (Helmet mounted Rangefinder, Kama, Jetpacks, Wrist Rockets, etc.)
Phase-I Armor for the Win...!
