Realising his danger, he tries to escape with his jetpack, but the scene has already shown it sparking from the reek’s attack and it leaves him stranded to be quickly disarmed and beheaded by Windu. He tries to dispatch with the Jedi master as he did the reek, but finds his shots deflected. He turns to find none other than Mace Windu charging towards him. Having taken a bit of a beating from the Reek, Jango calmly dispatches it on its second charge with a single shot of his blaster. The 3 rd moment on the list to include Jango Fett (I could have also added Obi-Wan’s first meeting with Jango, but I thought this would be Jango overkill!) is his final moment.

A real treat for the ears in a great sequence. The sound, especially, is a true highlight, with the momentary absence of all sound creating a wonderful contrast to the eruption of sound as they explode. The seismic charges were a wonderful idea, both from creating a real danger for Obi-Wan with minimum effort on Jango’s part, to the sound of the charges themselves. Seismic chargesĪfter a tense first meeting and a hard fight on Kamino, Obi-Wan tracks Jango Fett to Geonosis, only for Jango to release a series of seismic charges in the asteroid belt. This is the first time that we see someone without the Force holding their own against a Jedi, which makes us excited to see how this guy in Mandalorian armour will do for the rest of the movie. What follows is a great fight in the rain between Jango and Obi-Wan. As Jango and “son” Boba look to leave in a hurry, Obi-Wan confronts them on the landing platform. One of the highlights from Obi-Wan’s storyline in this movie, after tracking an unknown bounty hunter to Kamino and discovering the clone army, he deduces that their template Jango Fett is the one he is looking for. Today I will be looking at Attack of the Clonesīeware: this will contain spoilers for the movie! Obi-Wan fights Jango Fett Unlike in the book, I will not put the moments in any specific order (I do things like that enough in my Top 10s!) as the order would probably change on every viewing. With the way that too much Star Wars talk has gone down a dark hole in recent years, hopefully reminding ourselves of the great moments and focusing on the positives will help the fandom recover. While there are certainly some films that I do not like as much as others, every movie has some wonderful moments that I would always say outweigh the bad, so for that reason I wouldn’t say that I hate any of the Star Wars films. As I was reading this book, I found myself thinking of some of my own favourite moments and wanted to discuss them.

This is a series that was inspired by reading Ken Napzok’s Why We Love Star Wars: The Great Moments That Built A Galaxy Far, Far Away, a countdown of the top 100 moments from Star Wars that made him love it all, including canon stories from every medium. Welcome to my latest series of articles called “Why I love Star Wars”.
