The helmet and armor worn by Boba and Jango Fett have long held a fascination for fans of the Star Wars saga, not only for the costume's cool mercenary aesthetic but for the persistent mystery surrounding it. Early on, Star Wars lore established the Fett armor as originating with the Mandalorians, an enigmatic culture that will be explored up close in Friday's episode of The Clone Wars, "The Mandalore Plot."
长期以来，波巴和詹高·费特穿戴的头盔和盔甲一直让《星球大战》的影迷们为之着迷，不仅仅是因为这套服装体现出的那种很酷的佣兵美学，还因为围绕着它的那种持久不断的神秘感。在早期，《星战》设定确立了费特盔甲来源于曼达洛人这一说法，这是一种神秘的文化，本周五的这一集《克隆人战争：曼达洛阴谋》将近距离探索这种文化。

The Mando warrior look, which was devised by lead designer Kilian Plunkett for The Clone Wars, was of course informed by the Fett armor of the movie saga, but also from a Fett appearance made prior to Boba's 1980 debut in The Empire Strikes Back -- yup, the Boba Fett of 1978's "Star Wars Holiday Special" gets a nod in "The Mandalore Plot," thanks to the costume's translation into The Clone Wars universe.
曼达洛战士的外观，由《克隆人战争》的首席设计师Kilian Plunkett设计，当然受到了电影传奇中费特盔甲的影响，但也受到了波巴早于1980年《帝国反击战》中登场之前的一次露面时外观的影响——没错，由于那套服装的变体进入了“克隆人战争”宇宙，《曼达洛阴谋》算是对1978年《星球大战假日特辑》中的波巴·费特的一次致敬。

We asked Plunkett a few questions about the Mandalorian look for Clone Wars, and how the costume both varies and compares to the Fett costumes we've come to know so well.
我们向Plunkett问了几个问题，关于为《克隆人战争》设计的曼达洛人外观，以及这套服装与我们如此熟悉的费特服相比有什么异同。

I understand the Mandalorian designs for The Clone Wars were based on the original Fett design used in the "Star Wars Holiday Special." Can you elaborate?
我听说为《克隆人战争》中曼达洛人所做的设计是以《星球大战假日特辑》中所用的费特原始设计为基础的。你能详细介绍一下吗？

Actually, the main source for the The Clone Wars Mandalorian armor design was the Jango Fett costume. It's the armor from closest in the timeline and the "clean, industrial" look fit the script better than battle-scarred, heavily-customized classic trilogy Boba Fett armor. The first idea was to come up with a slightly more ornate/ceremonial/swoopy look than the familiar Fett outfit, but after a few attempts at re-working the helmet it became apparent that the McQuarrie/Johnston costume couldn't be improved upon and that the helmet in particular was iconic.
事实上，詹高·费特的服装是《克隆人战争》中曼达洛人盔甲设计的主要来源。这套盔甲在时间线上最接近，而且那种“干净，工业化”的外观比比经典三部曲里波巴·费特那套战痕累累，高度改制的盔甲更适合剧本。第一个想法是，设计一种比众人熟知的费特服更华丽/仪式化/酷一点的外观，不过在几次尝试对头盔进行重加工后，事情变得很明显了：没法让McQuarrie/Johnston的服装更上层楼了，那个头盔尤其是个标志性的作品。

The first Filoni-approved version was a very close match to the Episode II Jango. It got approved during design rounds one morning but I wondered if the differences between our Mando helmet and our Phase 1 clone helmet were a little too pronounced. So at lunch the same day I pitched Dave the idea of drawing from the Nelvana ["Holiday Special"] Fett design as a way to introduce a "retro" influence and to tie it in better with the Clone Wars Rex/Clone Phase 1 design. The Nelvana T-visor is very similar to the "face" on a Clone Wars clone, so it seemed like a good fit.
第一个得到菲洛尼认可的版本与EP2里的詹高（服）非常接近。它是在某天早晨设计会议期间获得批准的，不过我怀疑，我们的曼达洛人头盔与我们的克隆人一代头盔之间的差别是不是有点太明显了。所以在当天午饭的时候，我努力说服戴夫接受以Nelvana公司的[《假日特辑》里的]费特设计为基础进行塑造的点子，以此作为一种引入一个“逆向”影响的方法，并且能与《克隆人战争》中雷克斯/克隆人一代设计更好地联系起来。Nelvana公司的T型护目镜与《克隆人战争》中克隆人的“脸”十分相似，因此这似乎是个不错的选择。

The insignias on the helmet, shoulder, and serape appear new -- did you pull these from existing source material or were they devised specifically for The Clone Wars?
头盔、肩甲以及披肩上的纹章似乎是新出现的——你是从现存原始资料里找出来的，还是专为《克隆人战争》设计的？

Not initally, no. In the very earliest drafts of the script(s), Death Watch wasn't mentioned by name and the various insignia were worked up from scratch. Happily, the "trident" on the Vizsla helmet forehead looks a lot like a streamlined version of the established Death Watch symbol. Originally the Pre Vizsla cape sported the same skull as the one on the left Boba Fett shoulder, but it was replaced by the Death Watch symbol as that aspect of the story was finalized. The rank insignia are still all new, the hexagonal shape seen in this insignia informs a lot of Mandalorian designs, both warrior and otherwise (the Mandalorian citizenry and Prime Minister Almec were designed by Davide Le Merrer).
不，一开始不是。在剧本最初稿里，并没有提到死神卫的名字，各种纹章都是全新设计。幸好，维兹拉头盔前额部位的“三叉戟”看上去非常象已有的死神卫标记的流线型版本。起初，超凡维兹拉短斗篷上显摆着的是一个和波巴·费特左肩一样的骷髅图案，不过根据故事定稿时的样子，图案被死神卫标志替代了。然而级别徽章是全新的，在这个徽章里见到的六边形形状与大量的曼达洛设计相衬，不管是战士还是其他（曼达洛公民和首相阿尔梅克都由Davide Le Merrer设计）。

When it came to the Mando design, did you guys have to re-examine the Jango and Boba costumes to determine just what was original to Mando warriors and what would have been added or customized by the Fetts?
当开始设计曼达洛人时，你们是不是必须再次检查詹高和波巴的服装，以决定哪些（装备）是曼达洛战士原有的，哪些是费特父子自己加上去的或改制的？

Any excuse to visit the archives! The tooling on Jango gear is fantastic -- that outfit's genuinely heavy and very robust. Its metallic sections seem to be real metal, too. We decided early on that Jango's guns are custom and that the new, more severe geometric gun fit better with the Mandalorian aesthetic as seen in The Clone Wars. The biggest visible difference between the generic Mando armor and the Fetts would be the rangefinder. There was some debate over whether making the rangefinder "standard issue" would make the helmet look too much like Rex. The fact that he modified his helmet makes Jango Fett more unique, anyway.
这是研究档案的好理由！对詹高道具的加工极其出色——那套装备真的很重而又非常结实耐用。它金属似的部件看上去也像是真正的金属。早先我们决定詹高的双枪是改制的，而新的、更朴素的几何形枪支更适合《克隆人战争》中见到的曼达洛美学。普通曼达洛盔甲外观和费特盔甲之间最明显的区别就是测距仪。对于让测距仪成为“标准配置”是否会让头盔看上去太象雷克斯（的头盔），有过一些争论。无论如何，詹高·费特改动了自己头盔这一事实让他更加与众不同。

The way I see it, if you had only one reference point for a modern American Marine and they were wearing night-vision goggles, would you assume that all American soldiers always wear night-vision goggles? I like that the rangefinder and some of the more brutal elements of the armor, such as the flamethrower or Kyber-Dart launcher, are custom additions. In the series, Jango's relationship to the Mandalorians is much closer to the original '70s "stolen armor" concept. It looks like the single-use rocket launcher is part of the original armor, though.
在我看来，如果你只有一个现代美国海军陆战队员做参照点，而他们戴着夜视镜，你是否会就此假设所有的美军士兵都一直戴着夜视镜？我喜欢（认为）测距仪和盔甲上一些更冷血的装备——比如火焰喷射器或基伯飞镖发射器——是改制的附件。在这个系列里，詹高和曼达洛人的关系更接近于原70年代“被盗的盔甲”的概念。不过看上去一次性用的火箭发射器是原盔甲的一部分。

Do all the Mandos carry a blaster on each hip, a la Jango Fett?
是不是所有的曼达洛人都象詹高·费特那样，髋部一边佩一把爆能枪？

Yes, symmetry is a bigger deal with these "technologically advanced super-soldier" Mandos. It fits with their culture of uniformity and kept the army more faceless. These Mandalorian troops are precursors to stormtroopers in more ways than one, it seems.
是的，对那些“高科技超级士兵”曼达洛人来说，对称性相当重要。这正合他们的一致性文化，并且让这支军队更加面目模糊。在很多方面，这些曼达洛士兵看起来就是暴风兵的前身。

Are there any other features of the costume that may have been resurrected from old, unused design ideas for the Fetts? Any new features we've never seen?
这套服装有没有什么其它外形特征是重新启用了为费特父子所做而未曾使用过的旧设计？有没有我们从来没有见过的新造型？

The poncho, especially as it appears in hologram form at the end of [upcoming episode] "Voyage of Temptation," is straight from McQuarrie's Empire Strikes Back production paintings, including the two-tone pattern.
斗篷，尤其是它在[即将播映的剧集]《诱惑之旅》临近结尾处出现在全息图像里时的样子，直接出自McQuarrie为《帝国反击战》画的制作画，包括那种双色图样。

费特父子、曼达洛战士的那个火箭背包，会不会弄不好烤到自己的屁屁啊
