A few thoughts have been rolling around in my mind. Some of this may have already been answered in the Expanded Universe, but here it goes:
How much did Jango know?
Did Jango know that Palpatine and Sidious were the same guy? Even if he didn't know the name Sidious, did he know Palpatine was a Sith Lord?
Did Jango know about order 66, or was that info only in the clone's "programming"?
Did the emperor have more work for Jango as part of his master plan? Or could it be that the emperor was planning to kill Jango to keep him quiet, but Mace Windu got to him first?
In the Battle of Geonosis, Jango was killed before Yoda and the clones* landed. What if he was still alive? Would he fight with Dooku against the clones he helped create?
*Yoda and the Clones... wouldn't that be a great name for a band?

Hmm, good questions. NOt sure about the last one, very interesting to see what he would have done when the clones showed up!
I'm not sure he knew about the sith connection, he flat out states to Obi that he was recuited by a man names Tyranus to be the donor, so would he have told Obi that if he knew all that was going on with the Sith? Probably not...

I'm pretty sure Jango did not know that Sidious was Palpatine's alter ego. Only his Sith Apprentices knew - "only two there are." He didn't even know Darth Tyranus was Count Dooku when he was first recruited.
A bit of topic for a moment - that was a pretty lousy alter ego. You barely heard Dooku referred to as Darth Tyranus through the entire prequel. He mostly maintained his Count status even through the EU clone wars. What's the point of an alias if you don't use it?
Sidious was very guarded about his identity, and it certainly would have been foiled if a man for hire knew such critical information. You can probably assume that people in that galaxy with such powerful information would have no problem selling it to the highest bidder.

I don't think Dooku used his Sith alias around the separatists because the Trade Federation was already annoyed with the Sith after Sidious seemed to only give them grief. |

Yeah, you are right though. It was a shame that the name "Darth Tyranus" was not used more...

A few thoughts have been rolling around in my mind. Some of this may have already been answered in the Expanded Universe, but here it goes: How much did Jango know? everything that 'Taun We' knew ("the army is for the republic") he didn't know sidious existed. he worked for Tyrannus didn't know about it. he died in Ep2. order66 wasn't revealed by palps until Ep3 (and palps wasn't in the habit of revealing his plans to his underlings) Jango served his purpose. his death at the hands of a Jedi was planned. that became Boba's motivation. and Boba was a more effective tool for the Empire, than Jango would have been without the Revenge obsession. ie: if Jango hadn't died in the way he did, then Boba would have grown to be the same as Jango, no more no less. and Jango was quite rational in his approach.. but Jango's death spurred Boba to hate Jedi with great passion.. and that made Boba more valuable to the Empire than Jango was before him. "hate gives you focus,makes you stronger", etc. yes. see above. he was working for Tyrannus and he knew the Army was for the republic. he knew full well that Tyranus was the seperatist leader, he knew that the seperatists were against the republic, and he knew that the seperatists were building a droid army. which means he allowed his clones to be made, knowing full well, exactly who they would be fighting. "so why would he do it", I hear you ask..? "why allow his flesh to be harvested, grown into an army, and then exterminated again?" (a) no harm no foul = no ethical dilemma (b) as soon as the clones landed and started fighting the battle droids... ... Jango and Tyrannus would be placing bets (heh) "dude you owe me a beer" it sounds like its missing something. "Yoda and the Clone Commanders" has a better ring to it  |

It seems very absurd that Jango's death was planned. I mean.... Sidious plans Jango's death so that his son can be recruited by Darth Vader to find Anakin's children whom they don't yet know about, twenty years into the future? It's not entirely more plausible that Tyrannus simply brought Jango on as a body guard for the seperatists when he reported Obi Wan's inquiries? Makes more sense to me Especially considering that Boba was just one in a handful of bounty hunters to be hired by the empire. |

wait.
live-actionTV series coming:
featuring Boba Fett as protagonist, as he hunts down the Jedi Stragglers between E3 and E4.
(thats his purpose; NoT "to find Anakin's children whom they don't yet know about, twenty years into the future" )
Jango's death will make more sense when they tell Boba's story.
you'll see. it was definitely "planned". ( by George. bwahaha!)

If this true, at least maybe we'll get some more Jedi on screen.. there have been so many rumors, but this one is by far the most prevalent

I personnaly dont think he knew much. Just he would be the model for a clone army. But i dont think the story from the vido game Star wars Bounty hunters is accurate. But it would fit well
