The Silmarillion as Vines
Wanted to post this to show that during his origin story in the classic 2002 video game Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Jango Fett did indeed care about the Clones. Jango said he was "proud" of them; he even let this be known to his son Boba Fett.
(Unlike the in-universe narrative claiming Jango cared nothing about the Clones & the only Clone Jango ever cared about was Boba.)
In the following Cutscene Storyboards from Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Mandalorian Bounty Hunter (And Prime Clone Template) Jango Fett said his Clones were a damn fine Army, ready for battle. When Jango discussed this with Boba, Jango told him: "You shouldn't feel sorry for them. I don't. I feel…Proud."
And I❤️this from @fox-trot talking about Jango Fett & his concerns with the lives & treatment of the Clones….
Jango Fett consistently fought the Kaminoans over reconditioning/ decommissioning. In the early days he managed to convince the Kaminoans to change the expected standard, allowing for more leniency regarding deviations in physical appearance, speech patterns, behavior, temperament, etc. This saved many lives. He also regularly stepped in & rescued clones scheduled to be reconditioned for ‘aberrant’ behavior or mental health concerns. The Null ARCs & Delta Squad were saved from death because of his intervention. He also had a secret operation where he smuggled at-risk clones off of Kamino.
So glad to see Boba Fett wearing a Kama is now official.

After tracking down & finally regaining his Mandalorian Armor, Boba Fett's Kama was originally his Tusken robes, with an opening on the right side to allow access to his blaster pistol. Some time later, Boba styled it to look more like the traditional Mandalorian Kama.

Always ❤️ this line. It showed that Boba knew of Tobbi Dala & Fenn Shysa AND he also knew what they looked like. Proving that Boba was well aware of not only his Mandalorian heritage but also well-known/ important Mandalorian figures….
And I ❤️ how Boba upheld the Mandalorian Tradition of reclaiming/ removing Mandalorian Armor from all encountered individuals that are Non-Mandalorian (Similar to how Din Djarin repossessed Boba Fett's Armor from Cobb Vanth).
And last but not least, I can't leave out the classic Boba Fett line: "This IS my face."
