gffa:I REALLY LOVE THE PARALLELS AND CONTRASTS GOING ON HERE???When you read the Obi-Wan and Jango comics back to back, you see the parallels of two characters teaching those who are going to be their legacy in the early days of that training. You see two characters attacked and their young charge held hostage and the mentor/father trusting that their charge can handle themselves–and they do rise to the occasion.You see two characters who are in similar circumstances, who genuinely care about their charges, and yet in some ways could not be more different.Jango explicitly doesn’t care about the other clones, they’re not his project, nor is he part of the Mandalorian culture even as far back as the making of AOTC. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is very much a Jedi and part of their culture and cares deeply about the religion/culture he is part of.Jango and Boba are attacked because of who they are, bounty hunters who have made a lot of enemies in the galaxy through their actions and the profession they chose. The alien woman they’re kidnapping (to take back to her father) isn’t someone they’re helping, they’re stunning her and dragging her back.Obi-Wan and Anakin are attacked because of what they are, that Jedi are inherently in danger in the galaxy because people want Force-sensitive slaves and test subjects as previous comics have established, because Jedi lightsabers will fetch a good price, not because of anything they’ve done to these pirates. The alien woman they helped asked for them to be there and is better off for their help.Both Obi-Wan and Jango praise Anakin and Boba, they both have legacy looming over them, but the entire point of the Obi-Wan comic was him adapting to what Anakin needs from him, talking to him genuinely and with warmth. Jango instead is focused on that legacy, about what he wants Boba to be, about what he cares about, isolated from any kind of bigger culture or family.Similar stories, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, they echo and rhyme even in their inverted stories of each other. -- source link
