      Becuase it wasn't boba Fett, it was Jango Fett and established Mandalorians.

      Then Filoni trash and Disney shit oversaturated Mandalorian shit and turns out Boba Fett/Jango was never a real Mandalorian.

      It is. I'm a prequel defender, but George himself is guilty of awkward OT fanservice. Lots.

      The difference is that the stories and characters themselves are broadly different.

          Vader building 3-P0 makes sense because it shows that he's an intelligent, technologically gifted kid. The story of the Prequel trilogy is the story about a young boy's turn to fascism. It's about us, essentially

    because he was hired to, because it served a dual purpose:
    >forcing padme into hiding, allowing sheev to persuade the more easily-manipulable jar jar (standing in for padme) into give a speech in favour of the granting of emergency powers
    and
    >because sheev knew anakin would save padme, and then feel he has to go on protecting her by following her into hiding, where their love could blossom freely without the situational pressure of padme's job as senator and anakin's duty to the jedi order, which would allow sheev to use ani's feelings as leverage to help turn him to the dark side

      Jango Fett did not have a personal vendetta against Padmé Amidala in Star Wars. In "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," Jango Fett was hired by the mysterious figure Count Dooku to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala. The motive behind this was to silence Padmé, who was a prominent voice against the creation of a Republic army and was opposed to the escalating conflicts in the galaxy.

      The assassination attempt was part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated by Count Dooku and the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to manipulate galactic events and pave the way for the rise of the Galactic Empire. Jango Fett, being a skilled bounty hunter, was contracted to carry out this assignment. His primary focus was on completing the job for which he was paid rather than any personal animosity toward Padmé.

      [...]
      The hit was called by Nute Gunray. Nute Gunray is an idiot who blamed Padme for his failure in Episode 1. If anything Nute's grudge was opening up a chance for the Jedi to figure out what was going on by tying a bounty hunter in his (secessionist) side to the Republic's new clone army, showing that satan the devil is playing both sides of the conflict.

      Thankfully for Sheev the Jedi are just as moronic as Nute is. Dooku even assumes they are figuring out the whole scam when he catches Obi-wan tailing Jango to Geonosis so he reveals the whole plan but Obi-wan is blinded by his hubris or whatever.

      The whole series was about him making credible threats everywhere that he knew could be handled by the best Jedi and emotional situations that he knew Anakin would be weak to. He could calculate and manage it because he's the most powerful Sith. Jedi don't understand dark side powers and don't understand what's possible.

      >Jedi don't understand dark side powers and don't understand what's possible.
      Jedi understand darkside powers, they have plenty of holocrons describing them. What they don't understand is emotions and how they bend people so effortlessly. The Jedi Order's major flaw is their attempts to stifle emotion for a false sense of serenity which leaves members of the order totally unprepared for handing extremely stressful situations. Because of this the Jedi order tends to be an incubator for fallen Jedi or Sith Lords if they're jaded enough.

      How is this a question? You missed the part where Nute Gunray is annoyed that she's still not dead?

      Watch the Plinkett reviews, he explains why Sheev's plan was contrived and relied on too many things outside of his control, plus why story in the PT was poorly written overall.

          Jedi mind tricks aren't that strong or complex, and they only work on morons. Fricking Watto could resist them with ease. I don't think there was anyone worth mindtricking who actually could be affected by a mind trick.

            Largely because the currency he was being asked to accept was effectively stealing from him and would frick him dramatically, likely bankrupt his business. Obi-wan telling the stormtroopers that it wasn't the droid they were looking for was just a slight tweak on their day to day activities, hundreds or thousands of droids come and go daily and 99.9999% of them were not the droids they were looking for. Qui-Gon tried too big of an mindfrick on Watto. Luke's attempt on Jabba failed because it was also too big of an ask, it was theft, and done in public so it would make him weak. If Jabba was selling Han Solo's carbonite slab Luke probably could have mind tricked him into a lower price, but definitely not free.

              Logically that makes sense but they straight up state in the movies that the tricks only work on those with weak minds and then Javba and Watto go "haha Jedi mind tricks don't work on me". I think it's obvious that George intended them to be simply too strong willed and intelligent for any tricks to work, instead of the demands being too high.

      Was it really necessary to kill the changeling as she was about to say "Jango Fett"?
      Maybe they would have sent more people if Obi-Wan didn't have to track down the dart/Kamino on a map.

        That anon is wrong. The hit on Padme wasn't a part of the larger plan. Palpatine wanted Padme alive so that he could use her as a way to pull Anakin to the dark side. Nute Gunray fricked up.

        Dooku was never meant to win and he knew it. The separatist war was an orchestrated game. If Padme had somehow prevented escalation, then all of Sheev's plans would have failed.

        Padme was being hunted by Jango on Nute Gunray's behalf. This is the inciting incident that moves the main characters along to reveal parts of Palpatine's plot earlier than he wanted. But the Jedi and the Republic are all now old, inept bureaucracies that are incapable of doing their fricking jobs. Which is the theme of the prequels.

    Padme was backing peace talks with the Confederacy and was generally a thorn in the side of Palpatine questioning the expansion of his war powers. So Palpatine told Dooku to have her killed and Dooku hired Jango who oustourced the job to the shape shifting assassin.
