This is a story about count Dooku searching for a perfect source for his clone army, and how he ends up using Jango Fett. By extension, this is the origin of Jango and a bit of a backstory for the mandalorians. It's pretty good, though this book is broken into four distinct episodes and doesn't really read like one cohesive story. The art by Ramon Bachs and Raúl Fernández is good, though looks a bit dated nowadays. No doubt parts of this story will be reworked in the upcoming Disney TV show, The...

After reading Age of Republic: Jango Fett, I decided to read the Legends version of how Jango met Dooku. And while I still really like that AOR comic, how the meeting plays out here is better for the most part. The only thing I didn't quite like was Jango wanting Boba to be Jaster Mereel's legacy moreso than a son. But Jango's backstory is compelling to watch in the flashbacks, and I like that there is a little bit of a history between him and Dooku. I was also surprised that names like Vizsla a...

I want a Jango Fett ongoing series.

This is awesome

Good for fans.Nothing really mind blowing but for Star Wars fans it's good. It is a solid read but not reaching the level of a classic that might appeal to casual fans. Good, not great. Art is great, story is good. I bet 99% of the people reading this review will enjoy the book.

A four-issue prequel to the prequels shows us Jango Fett's past (which is quite similar to the Mandalorian's), how he came to be the source DNA for the clone troopers, and how he got his very own mini-me, little Boba Fett. It was okay, but didn't really feel essential.

For any fans to f Star Wars or particularly The Mandalorian, this is essential reading.So much more for this "simple man trying to make his way in the universe"

There was something about Boba Fett that attracted audiences as far back as his first introduction into the (reportedly) terrible Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978. That carried on into his movie debut in Empire Strikes Back. Ever since, Boba Fett has been a highly regarded character. It makes sense that his father--or better, clone source--would be as well.Count Dooku is on the search for the perfect clone source. So he begins investigating the last of the Mandalorians: Jango Fett. Here we lear...

After seeing a recent chapter of The Mandalorian, I became interested in learning about Boba Fett’s past. This book, from the now non-canon Legends, tells the back story of Jango Fett prior to Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Despite being ousted from the canon with the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, certain elements of this story have been codified in the new official storyline. Worth reading if you want to know more of the history of the Fetts.

Open Seasons consists of four episodes in the form of flashbacks that detail the four major events of the bounty hunter Jango Fett's life: joining the Mandalorians, the birth of his rivalry with Mandalorian renegade Tor Vizsla, the battle of Galidraan, and the resolution of his rivalry. Each are cleverly named after the four seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring) and perfectly match the tone of each episode. For example in Summer we see a young, innocent Jango who lives a calm and happy life...

emblematic of star wars as a franchise really. does none of the legwork, but its enough to string you along with the promise of more as you descend into madness over unintended subtext. the art is SO bad i don't even want to talk about it. whitewashing off the charts. and yet gOD does it have some knockout lines. "you killed them... you killed them all. we're all dead" there's just. there's so much to unpack here. my god

Good story- great images. I loved it.

Star Wars Legends Project #71 Background: Jango Fett: Open Seasons was released in 4 issues from May to September 2002. The trade paperback was released in January of 2003. It was written by W. Haden Blackman and drawn by Ramón F. Bachs. Blackman has written a few dozen other Star Wars comics, including several tie-ins with video games (like this one). As a longtime employee at LucasArts, he was also involved in the development of quite a few Star Wars video games, as well, most notably as th

It's alright. Not Blackman's best work. It's pretty by-the-numbers continuity filler, for those who just can't live without a Jango Fett backstory, but I didn't find it to be anything particularly revelatory. In fact, considering how many Mandalorians appear in the story, I was rather disappointed by the lack of any real integration of Mandalorian culture and lore. On top of that, this story directly contradicts a lot of what is known about Mandalorians during the prequel era, so I'm left wonder...

Story(W. Haden Blackman): 8/10Art(Ramon Bachs): 7/10ONE SENTENCE SYNOPSIS: "Jango Fett Is an Ultimate Born Warrior and He Wants a Son"

The only downside to this is that it felt too fast. Maybe 3-6 more pages per issues would’ve solidified this all.

Actual rating: 3.5I wanted Jango’s backstory and I got some of it, which is good. I would have liked *more*, but I’ll take what I can get. I’d also have liked more about Jaster Mereel, but again, I’ll take what I can get.Gotta admit though, Jango willingly working with one of the Jedi who slaughtered all that was left of his friends? Strange. But I suppose maybe between all the loss and the trauma it can be explained.Anyway, the art was frankly kind of ugly. Or very ugly. And Jango was suspiciou...

I read the individual issues on kindle earlier this year so I'm kind of cheating by adding the graphic novel which I got today. I can't remember exactly what day I read it but oh well. It charts important parts in Jango Fett's life right up until he took the deal with Dooku for the Clone Army, set post Bounty Hunter. It isn't canon anymore but it's still interesting to look at and see these different points in his life: From losing his family and being adopted by Mandalorian's, losing his adopte...

Star Wars has a tendency of filling in every spare moment before, between, and after each film, and Open Seasons is no different, giving Jango Fett his origin story as Count Dooku selects him as the prime clone. This arc is best for Star Wars fans who appreciate these filled gaps and have an affinity for the Fetts, the Mandalorian episodes on Star: Wars Clone Wars and of course the Mando & Fett shows on Disney+, even though this arc plays no direct role in them. Blackman is a longtime Star Wars

Really cool Legends read diving deep into the origin of Jango Fett. Found some interesting tie ins to the current Mandalorian.
