#alpha clone

Wanted to post this to show that during his origin story in the classic 2002 video game Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango Fett did indeed care about the Clones. Jango said he was "proud" of them; he even let this be known to his son Boba Fett.

(Unlike the in-universe narrative claiming Jango cared nothing about the Clones & the only Clone Jango ever cared about was Boba.)

In the following Cutscene Storyboards from Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Mandalorian Bounty Hunter (And Prime Clone Template) Jango Fett said his Clones were a damn fine Army, ready for battle. When Jango discussed this with Boba, Jango told him: "You shouldn't feel sorry for them. I don't. I feel…Proud."

And I❤️this from @fox-trot talking about Jango Fett & his concerns with the lives & treatment of the Clones….

Jango Fett consistently fought the Kaminoans over reconditioning/ decommissioning. In the early days he managed to convince the Kaminoans to change the expected standard, allowing for more leniency regarding deviations in physical appearance, speech patterns, behavior, temperament, etc. This saved many lives. He also regularly stepped in & rescued clones scheduled to be reconditioned for ‘aberrant’ behavior or mental health concerns. The Null ARCs & Delta Squad were saved from death because of his intervention. He also had a secret operation where he smuggled at-risk clones off of Kamino.

All from:

“Obsession” Issue #5 certainly didn’t end in a way I expected. I admit the scenes between Asajj and Obi-Wan really hit me in the feels. Seeing Obi-Wan saddened by her death shows the connection between the two. Yes, they were combatants. She certainly tried to kill him multiple times. However, there was a deeper connection between them. Obi-Wan believed there was good in her (some foreshadowing here...) and that she could be saved. He tried to save her here but couldn’t. Anakin also realizing how wrong he was about her and about Obi-Wan’s “obsession.” He wanted to strike Asajj down (again, foreshadowing...) out of fear more than because of how dangerous she is.

Did not see the bait-and-switch in the epilogue. I really thought Ventress was dead. I did not expect she faked her death to get away from the Jedi and Dooku. The fact she realizes Dooku sold her out and chose to walk away instead of getting revenge seems unusual but given she’s “died” twice now, I can see why she chose to walk away. Better to walk away and live over fighting and dying. For good this time. It also makes me curious to look up what she does next. That’s the hallmark of good storytelling: Hooking a reader and getting them interested enough to search out additional material.
