i guess if we could have him follow the naboo ship as it lands perhaps. i like the idea of him silently watching.

 

i would love to change all the scenes with jango so he is wearing his helmet in all of them i would love even more to somehow change the colours to those of the holiday special.

Maybe instead of a bounty hunter, Jango is a senator's personal guard or someone higher up on the totem pole so to speak (also, the clone army could be clones of other soldiers and Jango is there to guard the secret).  Besides, I kinda figured young Boba had a hard life as an orphan and bounty hunting was just a means to a wealthy ends.  Hell, in the BUILDING EMPIRE doc, Irwin Kirshner describes Boba as his version of Clint's "Man with no name" character.

- okay, I just read the above post: I like the idea of just nixing "Jango" and making the character Boba (the idea that there is a character that traverses throughout most of the STAR WARS films is pretty interesting - of course, that would make Boba to be around his 50's in EMPIRE, not that it would matter when you have people that live into their 200s).  I would still make the clones off of different soldiers (maybe throw Vinnie Jones' mug onto a group of them, and have clones of different soldiers as opposed to just one guy) and make Jango/Boba a more prestigious individual and it is due to events in the Prequels that he has to resort to bounty hunting for a living.  Hell, maybe make him a sort of Pinkerton (ala the movie BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID) or a Texas Ranger - a cop who becomes a criminal or just a disillusioned former soldier.
