We all have to admit the mandalorian armour looks awesome

[@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122]

Looks like stormtrooper armor but more mercenary-like.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

I wish it could still stop lightsabers.

[@JKgyaru6969]

@@jeggsonvohees2201 mandalorian armor can resist lightsabers, not stop them completely. Resist and immune are very completely different things. It can protect you from glancing strikes, but full on pierce will be still fatal.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

@@JKgyaru6969 Yes, that is what I was referring to. I said I wish it could *still* stop lightsabers (old EU). I'm well aware the new canon greatly nerfed the Mandos as a whole. I don't like the change myself, as now Beskar really isn't very special or unique anymore aside from cultural significance. Other in-universe armor would protect you from a glancing blow, so long as said armor caught the Saber instead of one's skin. Given how the blast doors in Ep1 reacted it looks like durasteel would provide a similar protection.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

@@JKgyaru6969 Now that said, it really doesn't make sense that it protects from glancing Saber blows but not stabs, and I say that because of how lightsabers work. They don't cut/pierce lIke a real sword. They burn/melt through materials through intense heat. Ergo, a Saber should have the same effect regerdless of whether it's a glancing blow or a stab.

I still hold out hope that during the new Clone Wars season, we’ll get to see Skirata and the commandos. Just imagine Skirata rolling off a shuttle, taking one look at Bo-Katan and then, to Kenobi, “I was told I would be fighting with Mandalorians. Why am I looking at a kyr’tsad savage?”

[@TheNappalorian]

@@BlackIce3190 I for one am hoping Clan Ordo will pop in at some point. Unfortunately, I doubt Skirata will appear, considering (if I am correct. I may be wrong) Skirata may be an IP of Karen Traviss. Though they've used Mando'a (also written by the same author) in Rebels, they may be avoiding using Skirata so they don't get into a creative conflict (again) with her.

[@nathang6376]

The Mandalorians weren't the primary focus of The Clone Wars, and apart from Karen Traviss' writings, the series didn't take anything away from their history. The first six seasons of The Clone Wars can be considered part of the Expanded Universe because they were all written prior to Disney declaring it Legends in 2014.

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

The way I see it, the Jedi are based on the Shaolin, The Mandalorians are based on the Samurai and the Empire was based on the Mongolians... and yes I understand that George Lucas himself has stated that he drew inspiration for the Jedi from the Samurai but the architecture of the construct that is the Star Wars Universe draws comparison to the Shaolin monks and the creation of martial arts and the belief in an otherworldly power called "Chi" and the pirate raids and small skirmishes they had against Japanese (Jedi Vs. Mandalorian) and then steps in Mongolia that f*cks everyone but Japan up (they were taken out by Typhoons... TWICE)... but in the end China and Buddhism (Formally called Shaolin) were able to push the Mongols out... The Jedi were Shaolin, The Mandalorians were Samurai and The Empire were the Mongols... also there's some similarities between the Mandalorians and Spartans but there's way more of a correlation between the Samurai and Mandalorians....

[@JayWolfKerbecs]

Visla didn't make the Dark Saber, his ancestors raided the Jedi temple generations ago, and was passed on to the next Visla

[@Zeknif1]

According to Fenn Rau, Tarre Vizsla created the Darksaber as a part of his Jedi training. The Jedi kept it in their archives after his passing until another member of House Vizsla raided the Jedi Temple and retrieved it and used the power of the blade and its symbolism to unite and rule Mandalore. Later, we learn from Sabinne that according to her own father, Tarre Vizsla was at one point a ruler of Mandalore. What's uncertain is if "Tarre Vizsla" of Fenn's story, and the one that the statue depicted were the same person, or if "Tarre Vizla" eventually became a title used among House Vizsla to refer to its ruling member should they become the ruling house.
