Who the hell is this guy? I'm not a big Star Wars nut so I don't know all the characters in the SW universe but I picked up the Star Wars Legacy figure the other day because he looked pretty cool. Is he some releation to Boba Fett?

I remember him from one of the comics I think.
he runs around in similar armor and basically "impersonates" Fett. Fett wants him dead. |

Currently, I believe neither Boba or Jango were Mandalorian, they just wear the armor. |

actually both WERE and are mandalorian. Fetts ORGINAL history before cracked out lucas made him a clone and messed everything up (thanks a lot ya stinking coke head) was Boba fett was a journeyman protector named Jaster MAreel who ws short and ugly and found out a fellow protector was dirty and during the confrontation jaster killed the corrupt protector but himself was framed as the dirty protector and exiled. During his travels he quired a set of mandolorian armor and decided to become a bounty. He renamed himself as Boba Fett and became one of the galaxies most feared bounty hunters.
Mind you all that was before lucas made the prequels and butchered every characters history but Jango Fett was indeed a mandolorian. The comic inwhich you all refer to is called Twin Engines of Destruction where Boba Fett was pulled from the sarlaac pitt by Dengar and is told about some schmuck (that would be jodo) impersonting him and mucking things up in a very bad way. At the end fett catches up to kast, beats himsenseless, then straps him to a bomb by his ankle (ala mel gibson in the first mad max) and walks away as kast is blown into krayt dragon kibble.

The whole Jaster Mareel lore was never really published it was always hearsay that was somehow spread around.
They later retooled the whole thing to say Jaster Mareel saved a young Jango and taught him the ways of hunting. Frankly. I dont care any of them. I prefer to have a mysterious Fett. Who the hell knows who he is or where is from. If he truly is Mandalorian or not. The whole initial appeal of his character was that he was just a badass and no one knew anything about him. |

Actually, the story was published in 1996 as part of the Han Solo Trilogy (by A.C. Crispen) before being retconned by Lucas. It was also published in Tales of the Bounty Hunters in 1996 by Kevin J Anderson.

Well...supposedly in current Star Wars novel continuity, Boba Fett has returned to Mandalore and has actually become their leader. The race still exists and is now becoming more prominent thanks to his leadership. So these other Mandalorians in your pics are probably just representations of others from his 'tribe' or 'clan' or whatever Star wars is calling it.
