Once you have that silver, blue, black and grey armor―of course, the first thing is: Well, why is Bobas green? Where is that coming from? And, from the point that weve established in The Clone Wars―to the point whenever Boba gets his armor―theres one thing that I think is important, is that; Mandalorian armor exists during The Clone Wars. Mandalorian armor thats very close to the design and use of Bobas armor. Boba has tricked his armor out. Hes added a few things that our Death Watch guys dont have because hes a bounty hunter and much like a gunslinger in the old west, would shoot someone and take their hat or take their guns or, yknow, you win a victory over another warrior and you take something of theirs―Boba Fetts armor probably is made up of different pieces of found Mandalorian gear. Its a little hodge-podge of mix n match which I think, kinda lends itself to the idea that he acquires different pieces of Mandalorian armor over time. Why does he do that? Because his dad wore it. Thats the connection for him. So I imagine this Mandalorian armor really isnt being created again and again and again when you look at the time of the Empire. Boba just―whenever he finds some of it, he fixes it up, he uses it. Hes probably got a bunch of it in Slave 1. Different rocket packs, weve seen that on Boba. Different wrist-guards, weve seen that on Boba. So how do our Death Watch go from being these silver, pristine-looking uniform military guys―there must be something that happens in between here and where Bobas getting all this weird green and yellow and red armor. Um, and well just have to wait and see. - Dave Filoni (The Clone Wars: Season 2 Featurette: Creating Mandalore)
