And I am talking about Jedi Academy. And I know, yes he was.

Why not do a list of something different than characters. Why not types of lightsabers or styles?

Judging form the short trailer he appears in, Boba doesn't seem to be interested in being Marek's friend.
Anyway, am I the only person who thought Jango was the WORST bounty hunter ever?
Alright, so Zam successfully distracted the Jedi, who spend about 10 minutes chasing her miles away from Amidala. Jango could have easily finished off Padme at any time during that chase and returned just in time to take out Zam before she revealed who he was.
But, when he DOES take out Zam, he uses marked ammunition, which ends up being traced right back to Kamino. If you're trying to take somebody out, why would you use a weapon that can be tracked straight back to your location? Even if it was rare to see the darts he used in particular, somebody could (and did) figure it out. If he was going to use marked ammo, he should have used something that would lead the Jedi AWAY from Kamino.
So eventually he goes after Kenobi in the Slave I. He takes about a million shots at Obi-Wan at nearly point-blank range, and he only manages to get in a couple of scratches. How is that possible?
THEN, on Geonosis, he jumps into the middle of a battle of 200+ Jedi, and thousands of battle droids to kill Mace because..... he threatened him with his saber? Even if Windu hadn't killed him one of the other Jedi, or a stray blaster shot could have probably got him anyway.
Compare all of this to Boba Fett, who in the all of Empire only needed to fire 2 shots. And that was only done with intention of steering Luke towards Vader. Everything else he orchestrated flawlessly from the side-lines.

Kelevra, your not the only person. I'm not a big fan of Jango either.

remember not even the archivist droids could figure out what the dart was though.

Now that I never really understood. all the lasers seemed like they were hitting
something. maybe wearing away the shields?

He had a jet-pack, remember? The only reason Mace could kill him, was because he didn't have a working jet-pack, nor his other blaster. It honestly would make a difference, when half of your arsenal is missing. I mean even his flamethrower wouldn't work if he didn't have an operable jet-back. Jango was a
good bounty hunter. As good as Boba, probably not, but Jango, unlike Boba, actually was a much more likeable character (I'm talking about in games like Bounty Hunter, not just the movies).

Right. A BARTENDER did.

He shouldn't have jumped into the arena AT ALL, even with his jetpack functional. He had absolutely no reason to do so, as the droids were pretty obviously winning the fight anyway. If he wanted to take out some Jedi himself, he probably could have done so from his vantage point atop the balcony. We've seen that he's pretty accurate with his darts.
The only reason I can imagine him doing something so foolish is because he was ticked that Mace held a blade to his neck for a few seconds. I'm pretty sure Windu had no intention to murder Jango like that, and once he jumped into the battle, I'm sure Jango was the last thing on his mind.
I have also played Bounty Hunter. But I still much prefer Boba, not so much because of his personality, but because of his precision and planning. He never just shot the hell out of everything in sight. Even when hell broke loose in
Jedi he tried to subdue Luke with non-lethal means before he finally resorted to drawing his blaster. He was even good in the friggen

He actually did. Mace Windu was the leader of the jedi rescue, and he dropped his lightsaber, in which jango saw an opening.
As for your argument here:
Boba Fett shouldn't have jumped on that skiff AT ALL, even with his jetpack functional. He had absolutely no reason to do so, as Lando and Han were pretty obviously losing anyway. If he wanted to take out Luke himself , he probably could have done so from his vantage point aboard Jabba's skiff. We've seen he's pretty accurate with his rifle from The Empire Strikes Back. - same case in question.

You act like Jango didn't plan. He was surprised attacked at Kamino, which lead him to giving away Geonosis. He was surprised attacked at Geonosis, which lead to his death. You act like that
could be planned for.

Watch episode VI again, sir. Boba only used his cable after his blaster rifle got sabered in half.
Look, Kelevra, I don't believe Boba was any better than Jango, but I don't believe Jango was better than Boba either. Boba was defeated by a Jedi knight, a half-blind smuggler, and a sarlacc. Jango, by a Jedi Master, and a Reek, and (arguably) a jedi knight [obi-wan was the one who made him lose his other blaster].
Both were kindof pathetic, but they died at their worst.
