Jango was a rouge guy who adopted it's culture and wore the stolen armor, and Boba being a clone doesn't make him a Mandolorian either.

Go back in time, to before episode II was released. The idea of the Mandalorians as a group of warriors with armor, Boba Fett being one of the last, existed in the canon at the time. I get Lucas was trying to cash in on OT nostalgia and toy sales with Jango, but did he have to be basically the same person? Couldn't he have been someone different with mando armor, but have made a passing reference to "some guy, Fett, I used to know. No idea what happened to him".But no. That's a level of subtlety unknown to Lucas. What, there's more than just Boba Fett that had that armor? Naaaaah if anyone else had it they'd definitely be Boba Fett, or his genetic father. Honestly, I get they were trying to connect the PT and OT but the prequels have so many coincidences in them it's hard to take them seriously. "Oh you know the bounty hunter who tracked Solo? Yeah he's a clone and the guy he was cloned from was also a renowned bounty hunter who was also cloned to make an entire army."You see why I hate Boba Fett being a clone? Because it's such a stupid coincidence that it sounds like an eight year old came up with it?I was just mentioning the Mando thing to inform.And, Star Wars is a Sci-Fi Space Opera. Of course there's a bunch of stupid coincidences. Like Luke keeping his last name to hide from the Empire, with his family. Or Leia turning out to be Luke's sister.And it's not like Boba Fett being a clone detracts from his character. What if Boba went through all the same stuff, but he was his son instead of his clone? Does it matter? No, not really. Plus, it made for some nice interactions with the clone soldiers who looked just like his dead father.@ 13:19 and such throughout the episodeYouTubeYou don't need to inform me, I've seen every TCW episode and spent a majority of my adolescent life looking on Wookieepedia.

And it's your opinion that it's bad writing. Just as many people enjoy the clone change as there are who dislike it.
You know why we're seeing more of kid Fett? Why we had the arc in TCW? Because they're trying to build up an entirely different character, as the old version can't be salvaged.
Give me other examples of such coincidences for your space opera statement. Outside of Star Wars.
I know I'm being abrasive, rude. And I apologize, for acting in such a way. But the prequels make me angry. Because they're bad. Bland, and outright bad, writing, poor acting (because of terrible direction, the actors wouldn't have been too bad if they had been given something other than utter shit), etc. It doesn't even feel like Star Wars, not the aesthetic, nothing. The Original Trilogy is supreme, and for a good reason.
Something else I've noticed: You're somewhat of a prequel apologist. "Oh, but TCW states that X, so that's been explained". The thing is, the prequels should be able to stand on their own two feet, we shouldn't need clarification provided by TCW. You're not taking into account the fact that TCW came after the fact. The prequels, when looked upon apart from TCW or other works, fall apart.
I take it you've never watched the Plinkett reviews?

Guardians of The Galaxy? I'll have to disagree. The prequels had stupid coincidences, like the Boba Fett thing I mentioned, as in every single character ends up having a direct connection to the OT. GoTG didn't have anything that far fetched.

The fact that it had to do so, however, is a clear indication of the poor quality of the prequel trilogy.I take it you've never watched the Plinkett reviews?Guardians of The Galaxy? I'll have to disagree. The prequels had stupid coincidences, like the Boba Fett thing I mentioned, as in every single character ends up having a direct connection to the OT.

Meh, again, it's Star Wars.No worse than this:YouTubeor this:YouTubeor this:YouTubeor this:YouTubeor Anakin building C-3P0My point being, it's just what Star Wars does. I bet you if the PT came out first, the characters in the OT would have similar convenient connections to characters.
The point I was trying to make was that there are a bunch of stupid coincidences, like Anakin building C-3P0. Boba Fett's origin is but one of those many silly coincidences. They're all bad.If the PT came out first... yes... because it would be the same and only change in release order. I do not see what point you're trying to make.

I do not see what point you're trying to make.Fine. Instead of me trying to explain how it's no big deal, tell me why it is. Why is it so terrible that 3P0 is built buy a main character of the series? Why is it so terrible that Boba interacts with characters of the PT? It doesn't hurt anything to the story. It gives a back story to those who watch the movies and want a backstory on some characters. Especially when certain characters like Boba Fett, that fans have been craving for a back story on. And then when the creator writes avery Sci-Fi way in a Space Opera? Why is that such a bad thing? Especially for a prequel to a trilogy that was famous for following a close nit group of characters, both good and bad?It's not bad writing, as people that I've shown the Saga to that have never seen it don't have any issue with it, and even found it interesting. So, is it because it didn't meet your standards after 20+ years since the movie came out? Or because it didn't exactly match what you thought it would be based off some comic book? If so, you're holding someone to some ridiculously high standards. It just sounds like you're someone who still hasn't gotten over the fact that a new Star Wars movie came out 16 years ago.

I don't like the Plinkett persona either but he makes excellent points. Honestly his actual commentary is pretty funny. Just watch them with an open mind, don't go into it with a defensive attitude. You could watch all three reviews before I could list everything out in text.

They seemed to be getting angry at the fact that he was stating his opinion, to the point that they ignored valid criticisms. Half of them sounded ready to perform fellatio on Lucas. Having had previous knowledge of how much TheForce.net can be a bunch of sensitive babies it doesn't surprise me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the guy is awesome or flawless, or that his reviews are either, but they seemed to be ignoring some of his valid criticisms out of outrage.Oh. This again.I'm sorry but I don't care about the claims of a bunch of overly sensitive manchildren. I got about eight pages in, but all I saw was overreactions. The prequels have bad dialogue, wooden acting, and feel sterile/lifeless because of the overuse of CGI.YouTubeWatch Mr. Plinkett's reviews of the Star Wars prequels. Sums up the ShiTrilogy very well.I'm arguing that the plinkett reviews are good. The thread he's saying to check out is filled with a bunch of people bitching about the reviews.Wait really?I pulled a tl;dr on this thread lol.Yeah lol, Tackelberry disagrees with them. I don't know why, they make excellent points. THe thread he linked on TF.net is filled with people drastically overreacting. There's even a guy there who says (in all caps) that the Plinkett reviews are "PROPOGANDA".I don't see how you could disagree with RLM. Mr. Plinkett made valid points and pointed out that Lucas became the machine he was initially fighting against at the expense of good movie-making.
Oh my fucking God, I'm actually getting autism from reading the replies on that forum.EXPLOSION....IMMINENT....
