[@masmustacheo891]

I honestly hope that the Open Seasons Mandalorian Civil War becomes canon. It would make Boba Fett and Bo Katan's interaction have more weight, Jango's backstory hasn't been explored in Canon yet, Mandalorian Season 2 confirmed that a civil war did occur between the Mandalorians (it would be contradicting if the peaceful New Mandalorians were the ones that fought Death Watch), that a 'Mentor Jast' found Jango, it would explain why the New Mandalorians didn't consider Jango to be a true Mandalorian, and it hasn't been fully explained why Jango wanted a son (in canon). To me personally, Open Seasons could fit into the new canon with some minor changes.

I wouldn’t go ahead of yourself. Only Jaster Mareel, the Fetts becoming legit Mandalorian again are considered canon.

Jango Fett understood that Mandalorians were their own biggest enemy and thats why he chose to live his own life by his own standards and honoring his Mandalorians.

They don't need to fight and die for a planet or kill other mandalorians, Jango made that sacrifice and paid for it and even was a major factor of ending the mandalorian civil war.
