The Slave I had an unfortunate tendency to crash under Boba’s ownership in both continuities, however. One of Boba’s most notable modifications allowed the cockpit to rotate 90 degrees after takeoff, keeping Boba in a relatively upright position. As shown in The Mandalorian and various Legends-era comic books, Boba did occasionally use hold-out blasters in close-quarters scenarios.īoba Fett continued to modify Slave I as Jango did, constantly upgrading it and ensuring that its systems never became obsolete. The more methodical Boba Fett could attack his bounties from afar with his blaster carbine. Jango often fought in close-quarters combat, so a pair of shorter-range blasters allowed him to attack multiple opponents at once. While Boba used Westar-34 blasters as a teenager, he preferred an EE-3 blaster carbine, a longer-range weapon with comparable power to Jango’s blasters. In addition to carrying additional tools at the cost of leg protection, Boba also had a different signature weapon from Jango. Related: Which Jango Fett Clones Bo-Katan Has Met (Before Boba) Jango also used two varieties of jet packs, the Merr-Sonn JT-12 (which was frequently used by Clone Troopers in both continuities) and the Mitrinomon Z-6, which included an anti-vehicle rocket. The weapons were extremely powerful, with bolts that would melt most other blasters and were capable of burning through beskar, as shown in Open Seasons and Bounty Hunter. Jango preferred a pair of Westar-34 blaster pistols. Both Fetts also used a signature weapon aside from their armor’s onboard weaponry. Their vambraces contained numerous weapons, such as darts, rockets, a capture cable, a flamethrower, and a blaster. Jango and Boba used the same weaponry on their armor sets. Boba tended to have a subtler approach to bounty hunting than Jango, and thus sacrificed some protection for a larger arsenal.

This included a survival knife, a sonic beam weapon, and an anti-security blade. Boba also removed the beskar plating on his shins and thighs, making room for additional pouches for tools and weapons. As a former Journeyman Protector (Mandalorian law enforcement) who perpetually mourns his father, Boba’s new color scheme also made sense. In Legends, green symbolized duty, and red honored one’s parent. The clearest change that Boba made to his father’s armor was painting it green and changing the helmet’s blue trim to red. Legends-era Mandalorian armor gave different colors meanings, and blue symbolized reliability, which is fitting, given that Jango was the last of Jaster Mereel’s military unit, and even as a bounty hunter, the weight of the Mand'alor title rested on Jango’s shoulders. To exact his revenge on the Death Watch terrorist group, Jango reacquired the armor and kept its minimalist paint job of a simple blue trim on the helmet. As shown in Open Seasons, Jango’s armor was taken from him after his defeat at the Battle of Galidraan and refurbished for the world’s Governor to keep on display. And in this game, anything less is death.Jango’s Mandalorian armor is made of beskar, a rare and highly durable metal that can resist blaster bolts and even block lightsaber blades. But Fett soon realizes the game is rigged, as he finds himself the target of murderous factions, criminal conspiracies, and the evil at the Empire’s dark heart.
