Jango Fett was one of the most skilled and deadly bounty hunters to walk the face of
the Galaxy, known for his incredibly toughness and ability to kill.
But before he was chosen as the template for the Clone Army of the Republic, Jango Fett
became a Mandalorian after his family were brutally murdered in front of him.
So we’re going to dive deep into his backstory and how he became the Ruler of Mandalore,
after the tragic death of his father figure, Jaster Mereel.
So if you haven’t seen Part 1, which is how Jango became a Mandalorian, make sure
to pause this video and check that out in the pinned comment.
So, the story begins on the creepy moon known as Kohlma, also called, the Moon of the Dead,
where Count Dooku is travelling to his lair deep beneath the surface.
Once inside, Dooku travels to his torture chamber, where he asks his droid if his prisoner
is ready for interrogation.
The droid responds to Dooku, telling him that the prisoner has finally succumbed to the
substance known as Bavo Six.
Bavo Six is a tremendously powerful, yet very easy to produce truth serum, used by many
criminal syndicates, corrupt governments, all the way through the empire, much later
on.
Once inside the torture room, Dooku’s prisoner, named Silas, groans to him that he is finally
broken, and that he gives up.
Although the Mandalorians are able to anticipate the worst of the worst, and are even trained
to endure torture, Silas is finally at his breaking point and is ready to tell him everything
he knows about Jango Fett, his former mentor.
Dooku is of course pleased by this, and tells his prisoner that the pain can end in moments
if he tells him what he wants…
And unfortunately, thanks to the truth serum and the horrendous torture, Silas cracks,
and begins to the tell the story of who he believes is the greatest Mandalorian who ever
lived, Jango Fett.
Silas’ story begins 20 years before, where he almost died serving under Jango Fett.
As the young Mandalorian Rookie is rummaging through his belongings, he sees Jango and
is shocked that Jaster Mereel is finally giving him the command of his first squad.
Jango, being the man he is, tells his friend that the mission briefing is about to begin,
so he needs to fall in and keep his mouth shut.
As the meeting begins, Jaster Mereel introduces Jango, and informs his men that this is his
first mission as Squad commander.
Because of this, the mission is being kept simple and straightforward.
The organization who gave them them the mission, The defence force of the planet Korda 6, has
hired them to rescue a rookie security squad that have been pinned down by hostile natives
on the planet.
Jasater tells his men that The recon from the Korda Defence force suggests that the
natives won’t be providing any resistance, as they are very poorly armed and have no
army.
Finally, Jaster uploads the coordinates of the mission to every single one of the squad’s
Mandalorian Helmets, before passing off to Montross, his other commanding officer.
If you’ve played the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter game, you’ll definitely remember who this
is.
The Mandalorians then split into three companies, with those who have flight experience with
their jetpacks being assigned to vertigo company, and the others being split between Montross’
company and Jango Fett’s Headhunter company.
As the time of the mission comes, Jango firmly shouts out to his men to board the transports,
and as he is doing this, his father figure, Jaster Mereel gives him a reassuring nod,
and telling him “Make me proud, Jango.”
Jango smiles, and moves on with the mission, but he is soon interrupted by montross who
says “I think he sometimes forgets that you’re not really his son.
That’s dangerous.
Clouds his judgement.
And yours.”.
Montross is of course only saying this because one day soon, Jaster will be forced to choose
his successor, and Montross wants to be that choice for the next leader.
He considers Jango to be the fake son of Jaster, and doesn’t believe he deserves to rule.
Jango of course brushes this off, saying that Jaster will do what’s right for the Mandalorians,
but Montross continues to taunt him, saying “let’s hope we can say the same about
you.
Following this, as Jango’s men are about to arrive on Korda 6 for their mission, he
gives them his final words of encouragement, telling them to keep an eye on their ammon…
and each other.
Everybody comes home under Jango’s leadership.
Unfortunately, moments later, the Mandalorian fleet is attacked by ion cannon fire, disabling
all electrical systems for most of the fleet, sending them plummeting towards the rocky
surface below.
Jango then congratulates his pilot on a great landing, given the situation, before bursting
out of their transport and rushing forward.
Unfortunately, Jango’s men are horribly ambushed by a barrage of fire, killing many
brave warriors before they even have the chance to make it out of the transport.
Jango is upset and confused at this, because the intel given to them by the Kordan security
forces said the resistance from the natives would be minimal.
Because of this, Jango frantically contacts Jaster’s comm device, warning him that his
men are getting cut down left and right.
After losing countless more of his men, Jango has no other choice but to retreat down into
the trenches, for more cover.
As Jaster arrives in the trenches with his company, he orders the entire vertigo company
in the sky to regroup at Jango’s coordinates in the trench, and to abort their attack.
Montross, being the hardheaded man that he is says “leave it to Jango to find someplace
to hide..” before directly disobeying Jaster’s order and continuing with the aerial attack
anyway.
Jaster is not happy with this, and realizes that the group made a massive mistake by relying
on second-hand information for their mission, before once again demanding that Monstross
abort the mission immediately.
Monstross once again refuses Jaster’s order, and charges right into the heat of battle,
against the Gorilla-Like natives of the planet.
Montross’ company rush into the heat of battle against the Kordan natives, but a blast-grenade
is soon hurled at him, knocking him to the ground with tremendous force, leaving him
moments away from being pummelled to death by the natives.
Fortunately for him, before the Kordan gorillas can reach him, a flurry of blaster bolts stops
them in his tracks, and when he turns around, he sees that Jaster Mereel has saved his life,
despite him directly disobeying his orders.
Following this, Montross is still ungrateful, claiming that he could have taken the position
if Jaster didn’t interfere, but Jaster once again tells Montross that they are pulling
out and that he should shut up and get moving.
After this, Montross then wonders where Jango could possibly be after his failed attack,
and Jaster tells him that he used the absolutely idiotic aerial attack as a diversion, and
is going after the target.
Jango and his men then trek through the muddy forrest, but when they arrive at the extraction
site, nobody is there.
Instead, moments later, they are ambushed by the horrid Death Watch, led by Tor Vizsla.
Silas then asks Jango who the deathwatch are, and Jango explains that they were way before
his time, and were the group that split with Jaster years ago.
Jango then adds “We thought they were finished.
Guess we were wrong.
Jango realizes that they probably trained the natives and planted false data to lure
them into a deadly trap.
Not long after this, Tor Vizsla, the leader of Deathwatch rolls up in his massive Mandalorian
tank.
As Jaster spots this, he goes off on Montross, telling him that this is his fault and that
they should be far away from this mudhole by now.
As he does this, Tor Vizsla immediately fires his wrist rockets at Montross and Jaster,
before flying into a rage and painfully exclaiming that Jaster Stole the Mandalorians from him,
and left him for dead on Concord dawn.
Immediately following this, something tragic happens.
Jaster is knocked to the muddy ground, and calls out to his friend to airlift him out,
and back to safety.
Montross then reaches his hand out to do this, but at the last moment, hesitates and tells
his former friend “sorry jaster.
I’m through taking your orders.
But i’ll take good care of the troops.
Being absolutely betrayed, Jaster screams out in pain and betrayal to Montross, but
is very soon after cut down by a flurry of fire from Tor Vizsla, who is holding back
tears and channeling all of his anger to finally wipe Jaster Mereel from Mandalorian history
forever.
As this happens, Jango Fett witnesses his father figure become filled with scorching
hot energy, and tries to rush in to help him, in absolute pain.
Silas however stops him, and pulls him down to avoid further fire from Tor Vizlsa, saving
his life.
Immediately after this, Jango Rushed over to Jaster’s body, before inspecting it for
just a moment and slowly pulling the helmet off of the man who he considered a father
to him.
Jango apologizes to Jaster for not having his back, but in his final moments, Jaster
has no hard feeling towards Jango.
While Jango is holding Jaster in his final moments, the Pathetic Montross attempts to
get his men to leave the planet immediately, telling them that Jango is dead and saying
that Jaster’s last order, to abort still stands.
Yep, it’s pretty low to use the last orders of the man you just got killed to justify
saving your own life.
He only does this because he want to rule the true Mandalorians.
Out of nowhere however, Jango arrives back at the base camp, holding Jaster’s body
and demanding to get it away from the combat zone.
As this happens, Montross pulls one final, cowardly move, demanding that Jango “do
right by jaster”, and place him in command of the Mandalorians.
Jango however scoffs at this and tells him that he is not fit to lead because he left
Jaster to die on the battlefield alone.
Silas then backs Jango up and the other Mandalorians all point their weapons on Montross, exiling
him from the True Mandalorians and placing Jango Fett as their leader, making him the
Ruler of Mandalore, following in Jaster’s legacy.
And to end the story, Silas is snapped out of his flashback, and Dooku uses a serum to
stop his heart.
In his final breath, Silas begs Dooku not to tell Jango that he told this story, but
Dooku coldy says he can’t make any promises.
