1. The Truth About Jango Fett's Death

The beheading of Jango Fett during the first Battle of Geonosis had quite the knock-on effect on many things and figures within the Skywalker Saga.

And there's actually more to that savage killing itself than what initially meets the eye, with shadows revealing that Jango's head actually flew out of his helmet in the immediate aftermath of Mace Windu's lightsaber swing.

Nice.

This list has already noted how Boba witnessing that horrendous act of violence nudged him down the path to becoming an equally renowned bounty hunter. But did you know that Jango's death also had quite the impact on the clones, too?

No, they didn't spend the next few years crying into their pillows over the death of the genetic template. But this new lack of Jango meant that the Kaminoans now had to conserve the Fett genome they had left in order to continue pumping out new troopers.

This inevitably resulted in the next batches becoming less efficient and the Kaminoans even once suggesting that the Jedi Order should search the galaxy for a new soul to act as another template for their army.

With one rather smooth backhand, Windu single-handedly ruined a kid's life, created another soon-to-be deadly assassin, and shot his own Republic in the foot. Impressive.

And those less efficient clones were still more than capable of taking down the majority of the Jedi Order in the end!
