Discrepancies
Jango Fett was a Mandalorian in the lore of
Star Wars Legends. In the "Creating Mandalore" featurette on
The Clone Wars: Season Two DVD set, however,
series director Dave Filoni explained that, according to George Lucas, the Fetts were not Mandalorians.[44] After the creation of the new official
Star Wars canon,
Pablo Hidalgo of the
Lucasfilm Story Group reiterated that the Fetts are not Mandalorians, though they might claim to be.

However, Jango was stated to be a Mandalorian in the Z-6 Jetpack entry on the
StarWars.com Databank[11] and in
Star Wars Helmet Collection 17.
[1] Boba was called a Mandalorian in
Star Wars: Galactic Defense.
[46] Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith described Fett as having been raised by "a race of warriors" but claimed he had no ties to Mandalore.
[10] In addition, one of the announcement teasers for
The Mandalorian described Jango and his son Boba as Mandalorians, leaving their actual status as Mandalorians ambiguous.
[47] The discrepancy was resolved in "
Chapter 14: The Tragedy" of
The Mandalorian Season Two, which revealed that Fett was a Mandalorian foundling.
