Description:
You know, I'd really love to see a model by Mars that has a weighted face...
Anyway, that should be the only negative thing I say about this model, because aside from some small (and rather negligible) weighting and clipping issues, this model is quite good. The only real thing I never liked about Mars' clone models was the heads/faces. They're well modeled, and the skin on it is pretty good (although the jawline is a bit too well-defined graphically), but something about it bothers me. Maybe it's too round - I really can't put my finger on it. But hey, put his helmet on and he's a beauty! The one other thing I found strange was how beat up the helmet was compared to the body armor. It's almost as if Jango let Boba play with the helmet some and had it returned after being pelted with small objects moving at high speeds.
Anyway, you don't want to hear me complain about the little stuff. If you're a detail kind of person like I am you can find teenie weenie inconsistencies yourself. All models/skins have them. It's what makes them interesting, and if a model or skin was perfect there would be no reason for anyone else to ever try to make them, and that would just be boring for everyone. In the big picture this model is a beaut. I've loved Jango since I played Bounty Hunter on my PS2, and this model really captures him quite well, so long as his head stays firmly planted on his shoulders. I was a little disappointed when I discovered the chest plates were just painted on, but quite frankly I didn't notice until I was about to comment on how nice they looked, so I guess that's a moot point. In fact quite a few details on this model are simply "painted on", but if you can tell at first glance you're better than I am. If you can't tell, does it really matter? In my opinion, no. I can complain about it all I want, but in the end if I can't tell while I'm playing, it makes no difference to me whether it's made of a million polies or painted on a flat surface. Low-poly modeller's rule of thumb: if you can get away with it, and it won't take away from the model, do it!
But wait! There's more! Yes, many different variants of Jango: with jetpack, without jetpack, with a different jetpack, with no helmet, with pilot headgear... plus, if that wasn't enough, two variants of Boba Fett. Now I'm not going to comment on Boba's accuracy, because he's not the focus of this pack and I've had to go look at him so many times that I don't feel like doing a comparison, so you can judge for yourself.
The soundset is also pretty good. I assume Mars took it from Battlefront2, or some other game featuring Temuera Morrison, because obviously he didn't make the sounds himself and no one would expect him to. The only problem with it is that it sounds designed for a clone with a helmet. So what about when Jango doesn't have his helmet on? Well, he's going to sound a little funny. However to bypass this would mean a big (and pretty much unnecessary) increase in filesize, so it's really kind of a lose-lose situation.
We do have the works here in terms of extras, though. Sounds, as I mentioned, but also team colors (Jango for blue and Boba for red), NPC support, and BOT support. The only thing I'd really care about in terms of improvements would be a rigged mouth/jaw. I know it's a time consuming thing - my personal least favorite part to weight - but after three or four times it starts getting really easy 
Anyway, definitely a good model by Mars. The weighting's definitely reaching that higher standard I've come to expect from Mars, which I'm happy about, and the rest of the model just completes the package. I hope to keep seeing work of this quality! I like it when I don't have many big things to gripe about 
Bot Support: Yes
Team Support: Yes
New Sounds: Yes
NPC Support: Yes
