LOL. Obi forgot the part when Jango shot at his spaceship and captured Lukes's father so they could fight a lobster-spider-mantis, a four eyed rat-tiger, and a cattle-lizard-rhinoceros during a proto-storm trooper droid battle. That would have made for interesting discussion.

As a kid, I always wondered why the shapeshifter never used her ability for the assassination, or to get away. Now that I'm an adult, I'm still wondering that. Why introduce the character as a shapeshifter if they never use the ability? It's like the opposite of Chekov's Gun.

​@@Ranstone I mean I believe the assassination attempts weren't supposed to succeed, or at least didn't need to. palps was trying to get the jedi to find kamino and the clone army so he could start the clone wars, so jango was probably told to use something traceable and to make sure the jedi find it. padme honestly wasn't important enough at that point to be worth assassinating, especially using such an expensive bounty hunter.

Honestly missed opportunity to mention how equally obscure it was for Dexter Jettster to have any knowledge on this obscure weapon at all much less that that scrap of info would let them find Jango Fett and start the Clone Wars

Senile Obi-Wan vaguely remembers that a window was involved in Mace Windu's demise, and his addled brain mixes this up with his name.

Actually Jango only killing Zan does make a measure of sense. Jedi can sense when they themselves are in danger but not always when others are (especially when they don't have a emotional conection to that person). So since neither Obi nor Anakin were in any danger from the dart, they failed to sense it and so were unable to stop it in time.
