The answer is in the "Bounty Hunter" game from LucasArts!

Care to share, for the benefit of the non-gamers in the peanut gallery?

That Playstation 2 game was pretty fun and I felt had a better story and more lively characters than AotCrap. Jango was a little more interesting and Temurra Morrison (prob not spelled right...) did a good job with the voice acting, which makes his phoned-in SE 2.0 performance that much more unbearable because he really can do some at least half-decent voice work when given the chance to craft it properly.
He big in nothing important in good elephant.

Palps doesn't want anymore Force users to be around. Other Jedi and Sith would want to take him out.

(I've no clue what Bounty Hunter has to say on this.)

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

A bunch of force-using storm troopers wouldn't be a good thing for anyone. Too hard to control. The Emperor had enough trouble keeping Vader in line. Imagine an army of people that all want to take over and rule themselves. Also, IIRC, in the Thrawn Trilogy, wasn't there the clone jedi, Joruus, and being a cloned jedi made him insane? An army of insane jedi who all want to take over would be worse.

Plus, Jango was supposed to have been the best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

In Bounty Hunter, Darth Sidious ask Dooku to find the ultimate warrior of the galaxy, and in the same time, a cult named "Bando Gora" lead by a dark jedi, is becoming too big and too influent on the galaxy, and probably could make troubles for Sidious' plans.
So, Dooku decides that these 2 tasks could be done in once, and hires two of the best mercenaries of the galaxy to exterminate this cult, but without mentioning the cloning plans. These two warriors are both ex-mandalorians, and are hard rivals. But each one of them don't know that their rival has been hired too. The winner will be the choosen one to be cloned.
Note: the mandalorians have been the best warriors of the galaxy, and fought the jedi. Even if they have lose, they have shown a great strengh. Just on that point, we can easily understand why an ex-mandalorian has been choosed for cloning, no?
So, after a lot of missions and hard work, Jango, with the help of Zam Wesell (encountered in one of the missions), finally find the Bando Gora on a Bogden moon (the planet mentioned by Jango in AOTC, when talking to Obi-Wan about Tyranus), kills his ex-mandalorian rival (Montross), and exterminate the dark jedi. Just for that last point, we can understand why Dooku choose him. At this point of the game (the end), Dooku hires him.

Some infos:
- The game takes place pretty much in the same time of TPM.
- At the begining of the game, we learn that Jango becomes tired about his work, and wants to retreat. The Dooku mission would be his last mission. Thinking really about having some kind of "heir" or apprentice, the cloning reveals to be a good solution for Jango, avoiding him to really have a family.

If you want to know more about the early years of Jango, when he was part of the mandalorian warriors, read the excellent comics "Jango Fett - Open Seasons". The story is really good and explain the rivality between Jango and Montross. The only trouble is that the end (Dooku hiring Jango for cloning, and Jango demanding an unaltered clone for himself) is slightly different of the game's ending.

So, I hope that all this was clear and understandable (sorry for my english!), and sorry for the late response.

Why do I have to play a game and read a comic to understand the plot of a movie?! This should have all been explained in the films.

^ So true.

Why is Boba Fett so special for that very reason? He's more of an intergalactic courier than a bounty hunter. He takes Solo to Jabba, and that's pretty much it.

Because of a frigging costume fans made him out to be this "amazing character." Lucas fell prey to the fanboy wishlist and pimped out the Fett's like dime store skanks. They're overused and over-appreciated.

Well, I must say that I've always be a big fan of Boba Fett, especially for his design and his darkness.
When I've heard that Jango Fett, his father, would be in Episode II, I didn't really know what to think about it. And I've seen the movie.
At this point, I was glad to see Jango fighting, cause it's that all Boba fans have always been waiting to see. So, in a way, I'm very happy, cause Jango character is really really cool and doesn't have to be ashame beside Boba.
And in another way, I was disappointed to know THAT much about Boba's past. And just the fact to see his face (in fact Jango's face, but you know what I mean...) destroy the enigmatic side and the mysterious of Boba we all loved...

Concerning the infos available only in the game and comics, I'm not sure to be agree with you. I've always loved the fact that all the infos aren't in the movies, and that we have to search for answers somewhere else. After all, when we think at all the known characters, vehicles, creatures, aliens,... which the names has never been mentioned in the movies, but every fan knows their name... I find that pretty cool!
