I do kind of wish Lucas had tried just a little bit to adapt the newer movies to the existing Expanded Universe.

I know the movies are official, but when you've read all this cool backstory about Boba Fett, and then out comes Ep2 with cute little Boba the sheltered, loving daddy's boy...ruins alot of that aura of coolness and mystery that Boba Fett had.
The Mandolorians are still awesome though!:D

Jango and boba, tbh ar wannabes! they would have been owned by a such a mandalorian as Jester (or jaster) fett in which is one of a great mandalorian.

According to books I read before Ep2 came out, Jaster Mereel was Boba Fett's real name. Alot of other things didn't fit with Ep2, but I liked the old story better.:(

I'm not talking genetics here. Genes don't make the mandalorian. It's not a family or a bloodline. It's an army (many armies even) of the most elite mercenaries in the galaxy. Jango wasn't descended from a Mandalorian warrior himself. But he is referred to in a number of comics (yeh ok, comics aren't nesassarily lore) as the Greatest Mandalorian, at least of their final era.

As for the clone army. Yes, they are trained under Jango Fett, so they have recieved Mandalorian training. However, their armor and equipment isn't quite the same. Also, they are created for the exclusive use of the Republic, and hence are not mercenaries. Personally, I feel the clones are not Mandalorians, though they do take some qualities from them. They are more closely tied to the Stormtroopers from the Imperial era. Stormtroopers are clumsy and foolish. They frequently make mistakes, and don't always have a combat orientated mindset. For sure, not all, maybe not even any of the Stormtroopers were in fact clones. However the clones were modified to grow and learn faster, and this would explain why they were of a lower quality than the Mandalorians.

So to sum up:
Mandalorians are cool.
Jango was a great one, so shush.
Clones aren't Mandalorians.

but that's just my opinion :P

-is a mado maniac!- here is a short speaech on mandalorains -cough cough-

Mandalorians were known throguh out th egalaxy for thousands of years for there extreme combta skills and shiney armour, altho amazing wairriors they were mostly wiped out in the Hyperspace wars.

Jango and boba, tbh ar wannabes! they would have been owned by a such a mandalorian as Jester (or jaster) fett in which is one of a great mandalorian.

Mandalorians were originaly humans, altho thgere thirst for blood lust and gore proved to much sperating and lead by a anme called mandalor.

il post it with more detail later

Check out the trade paperback of Open Seasons from Dark Horse as it gives the full backstory of Jango from boyhood until he signs on with Count Pooku. Yes, that was intentional.
