Jango Fett and Boba Fett wear distinctive suits of beskar armor in Star Wars with meaningful color schemes, according to Mandalorian culture.
The iconic Star Wars bounty hunters Jango Fett and Boba Fett famously wear suits of Mandalorian armor, with secretly significant color schemes. While only Jango Fett is a true Mandalorian in the current Star Wars canon, both Fetts are part of the Creed in the Legends continuity. Legends assigns specific meanings to Mandalorian armor colors, with Jango and Boba Fett’s chosen hues representing elements of their respective backstories.
Star Wars Legends author Karen Traviss established numerous elements of Mandalorian culture and history in the now-bygone continuity. Two of Traviss’ novels, Legacy of the Force: Revelation and Imperial Commando: 501st, and her Star Wars Insider article, The Mandalorians: People and Culture, reveal the meanings of certain color schemes on the Mandalorians’ iconic beskar suits.
The Legends continuity does not assign a meaning to silver, Jango’s primary armor color, but it does explain that gray symbolizes mourning a lost love, perhaps referencing Fett’s past romance with Sheeka Tull, since silver is a metallic gray hue. During the Battle of Galidraan, Jango notably wears armor with the primary color of black, reflecting his devotion to justice as the Mand’alor and successor to Jaster Mereel.
Boba Fett's Green & Red Armor Is Perfect Boba Fett’s famous green and red armor represents duty and honoring one’s parent, respectively. In Legends, Boba Fett was not only a bounty hunter, but also a Journeyman Protector and the Mand’alor who succeeded Fenn Shysa, making duty one of his defining characteristics. Boba never stopped mourning the loss of his father, making his armor’s red trim equally fitting.
