In Episode XVII of Mind the Force, we explore the legacy of Jango Fett—Mandalorian, bounty hunter, and father. Often seen as cold and ruthless, Jango’s story reveals a deeper truth about identity, intentionality, and what it means to pass something on. We examine his choice to raise Boba as an unaltered clone, not as a soldier, but as a son shaped by purpose and survival.

Joining us is Licensed Mental Health Counselor Don Sinkfield, who offers insight into the psychological importance of family structure, how legacy shapes identity, and why Jango’s form of fatherhood still resonates today. We also dive into Jango’s relationship with Mandalorian culture, his role in shaping the clone army, and what his story teaches us about freedom, love, and generational trauma.

This episode is for anyone reflecting on the legacy they’re building—and the armor we wear to protect what we value most.
