Years after the premiere Star wars. Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Star wars still continues to be fleshed out Jango Fettbackstory in canon, and it happened again recently. As the genetic prototype of the Galactic Republic’s revered clone army, Jango earned himself a strong reputation, becoming a warrior worthy of being emulated by millions. Now that it’s Star wars Legends backstory is no longer canon Star wars worked to reveal more and more about his life in the years leading up to the creation of the clone army.
Mark Sumerak Star Wars: Secrets of the Clone Troopers is the latest resource to compile information about Jango Fett’s backstory, confirming events that might otherwise be considered either rooted solely in Legends or merely hinted at in other media. As the book tells it from the perspective of Clone Captain Rex, Django’s story is captured with great admiration, although it still doesn’t shy away from the ugliest parts of it. That’s all Star wars revealed and confirmed Jango Fett’s backstory in Secrets of the Clone Troopers.
Jango Fett was a Mandalorian foundling
He was adopted by the Mandalorian clan.
The earliest part of Jango’s story dates back to when he was adopted as a child by the Mandalorian clan and thus became a Mandalorian foundling. This information was first confirmed in Star wars canon in The Mandalorian season 2, when Boba Fett was able to obtain his family’s history through his chain code so Din Djarin could see it after retrieving his armor from the Mandalorian’s ship. Din Djarin, also a Mandalorian foundling, was quick to pin down Jango’s origins, though that wasn’t the only thing included in this exhibit from Jango’s past.

Although not indicated in Secrets of the Clone Troopers book, since Rex most likely did not know this information, Beans’ chain code The Mandalorian the name of Jaster Meril, the man who saved Django after the death of his parents, is also displayed. and became his Mandalorian mentor and father in Star wars Legends. Thus, it is more than likely that Jaster Meryl will remain this figure in Django’s life, having been a foundling in Star wars canon. While this aspect of Jango’s canonical backstory may still be awaiting confirmation, it still remains the case that Jango began his Mandalorian life as a foundling.
Jango Fett has earned his Mandalorian armor
It wasn’t given freely
Another aspect of Django’s backstory confirmed in Secrets of the Clone Troopers The fact is that Jango had to earn the Mandalorian armor that he wears in Attack of the Clones. Rex says this was due to Jango’s involvement in the Mandalorian Civil Wars, which comes with Mandalorian culture and history, which has already been detailed in shows such as The Mandalorian. Because Mandalorian beskar is so sacred, no one can wear it, and it looks like Django has proven himself worthy of it during this major conflict..
Although the importance of Beskar armor in Mandalorian culture has long been established. Star wars Legends, The Mandalorian gives a clear picture of what it would have been like for Django to earn his armor during this conflict. Jango would likely have suffered severe damage to whatever armor he was wearing during this conflict, and whatever happened to cause that damage would have been revered enough by the Mandalorians for him to receive a suitable beskar replacement (and, in some cases, signet). . An example of this was Din Djarin’s battle with the Mudhorn in The Mandalorian Season 1.
Jango Fett participated in the Mandalorian Civil Wars
He became a real warrior
If Jango earned his Mandalorian armor during the Mandalorian Civil Wars, then he obviously had to fight during that conflict. Little is known about the Mandalorian civil wars in canon yet, but Legends can help fill in that missing information with the story it tells. In Legends, the Mandalorian Civil War pitted the True Mandalorians, formed by Jaster Meryl, against the brutal terrorist group Death Watch. This is the same group that rebelled again during the Clone Wars, although that conflict preceded it by many years.

Jango lost a lot to Death Watch in Legends, from his biological parents and older sister to his adoptive father Jaster Meryl. If this continues in canon, it would make his achievements during this conflict even more impressive and would certainly explain how his contributions earned him the Mandalorian beskar. Fighting such brutal battles is difficult enough, but doing so amid such heavy casualties and destruction is even more difficult. Django’s resilience during this time undoubtedly strengthened his military strength.which he continued to use in another field.
Jango Fett was the best bounty hunter in the galaxy
His reputation preceded him
Following the Mandalorian Civil Wars, Jango had the opportunity to use his martial skills to pursue a career as a bounty hunter. Rex insists that Django has become “one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy“,” this is what ultimately led to Jango being approached to become the genetic template for the clone army. According to Rex, Django’s reputation dictated that there was no target he couldn’t hunt down or destroy, although – as any good bounty hunter would agree – this still depended on how good the price was for the job he he complied. .
This canon information still matches Django’s bounty hunting career. Star wars Legends supporting the belief that Django was indeed one of the best bounty hunters of his time before Attack of the Clones. Looks like we’re getting closer to the action Attack of the ClonesJango focused more on raising Boba in Tipoca City and overseeing the development of the training programs used to train the clone army than on his career as a bounty hunter. Perhaps this break can be used to explain why Jango Fett hired various levels of assistance in the assassination of Padmé Amidala.
