Yes and no. The actor in the suit, is the big dude with the beard from episode one. Another guy provided the voice we hear on screen though.
Another guy = Favreau. BlandoCalrssian has a good ear.
True, but the comics were written after the game came out. A writer with a good idea can't really go back and change a video game to match his story. And I doubt they wanted to just scrap their warrior culture because a video game had a helmet off a guy.
Wasnt canderous also an outcast at the time?
The important part, is that it's not some new idea, that being a Mandalorian is a culture/creed, not a birthplace; that it focuses heavily on it's armor; and that armor/helmet should always be worn, when able.
Canderous wasn't an outcast so much as all Mandalorians were on the skids after their utter defeat by Revan on Malachor V. He didn't forsake the Mandalorian ways; in fact, he eventually became Mandalore himself.
But I get your point. I don't know if Leland Chee was overseeing all SW continuity between Dark Horse and Bioware back then, but a good idea is a good idea.
Other bit of retcon - KOTOR actually had a high-priced set of Mandalorian armor you could purchase in-game that was once owned by "Cassius Fett." So, if George always intended for Jango to not be a Mandalorian, he didn't share that fact with the story group, or the story group didn't share it with Bioware.
That, or George just totally made up that bit of Jango's history years after AOTC came out.
