“You must learn to accept your reduced station in the galactic order, Hokan,” Ankkit said. “This is no longer the hierarchy of brute force in which your warrior ancestors thrived. Today we need to be soldiers of intellect and commerce, and no amount of strutting around in that museum-piece uniform will revive your …  glorious past. Alas, even the great Jango Fett succumbed to a Jedi in the end.”

News traveled fast. Fett was a source of pride among the remaining handful of Mandalorians in diaspora. Even if he fought for money, he was the best. Ankkit must have known perfectly well how much that comment would sting.

Hokan was determined that the Neimoidian would see no evidence on his face to prove it. He’d certainly tried to keep that out of his mind when he was interrogating Fulier, much as he wanted to blame all Jedi for the humiliation of a cultural hero. He had to be clear why he was smashing the Jedi’s bones. Revenge was unprofessional.

The Jedi caused great grief toward the Mandalorians as a whole, but if you think about it, the Jedi defeated Jango Fett in a fight. But Ankkit is just being petty and condescending, because he is the employer and Hokan is tied to contract. Ankkit is petty because he can be. 

But seriously, okay, Hokan is an antagonist, bad guy, whatever, but can you blame him hating on this guy?
