Why the Mandalorians who Fought with the SITH Were so DIFFERENT Than the Ones we Know Now

[@TheWarmachine375]

No wonder why the Mandalorians had a very spotty reputation with the Republic and Jedi for siding with the Sith in the past.

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

Not just the Sith but also Fallen Jedi like Exar Kun.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Mandalorians of the Old Republic were a warrior people that truly sought challenges that would have pushed them to become greater warriors, and it is a pitiful state that Death Watch believes they are the true successor of the Old Mandalorians ways.

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

It baffles me that the culture an life style of being a Mandalorian went from a idea to being considered a Human only species. Like any species could become a Mandalorian, just had to prove themselves and follow their customs. Hell i remember reading somewhere that there was a Hutt Mandalorian but instead of a fat slug was super buff. What Mandalorians are now is just sad, still cool but a fall from grace for sure.

“Win or lose, as long as the fight is worthy, then honor is gained. The glory at having triumphed over impossible odds is what drives us. If there's nothing at stake - your possessions, your life, your world, then the battle's meaningless. We Mandalore take everything we are and throw it into battle. It's the true test of yourself, the battle against death, against oblivion.” - Te Taylir Mand’alor (Canderous Ordo) Always will be the best version of the Mando’ade in my opinion, a big part of it is due to my own cultural/religious beliefs and the similarities to these ideals.

Mandalore the indomitable wasn’t the only Mandalore to side with the Empire. There was Mandalore the Lesser, a mandalorian gladiator who became a puppet for the Sith Empire and allied the Empire and the Mandalorians during the Great galactic war through the beginning of the Cold War. Then there was Mandalore the Vindicated, who killed Mandalore the Lesser to take the title of Mandalore. He remained allies with the Sith, though they were cautious allies since he knew them Imperials would stab the Mandalorians in the back if the opportunity presented itself. He led the Mandalorians from the Cold War, the Galactic War, and the invasion of Zakuul, where he was killed by skytroopers

Mandalore the Lesser could count, since he was an Imperial puppet. Mandalore the Vindicated was a cautious ally the Sith, because he wasn’t stupid enough to think that the Empire wouldn’t betray them

[@stingerjohnny9951]

It might have something to do with the fact that Sith can’t get it up unless they are betraying an ally every five minutes. Kinda hard to ally with someone with a genetic history of chronic backstabbing disorder.

[@lerneanlion]

If that is the case, then why Shae Vizla and the Mandalorians during the time of the Great Galactic War allied themselves with the Sith Empire? I know that one of the Jedi killing her brother during the war but shouldn't it be just the House Vizla that ally themselves with the Sith then? And not as the entirety of the Mandalorians.

[@theliato3809]

Times change and allegiances shift. How many worlds that were formerly of the Republic eventually decided to just go along with the Sith and how many that were part of the Sith empires moved in under the Republics banner.

[@shaydowsith348]

Shae Vizla allied with Darth Malgus to take down the Jedi in the events in the preliminary video of SWTOR. Later on, whether she allies with the Jedi or the Sith depends on Player choice (whether the Outlander allies with Republic or Sith Empire in the expansions).

[@dhaburuk6494]

Nice vid, Geetsly's team. You've done Mandalorian history justice. The Taung were so close to being good, and then that dammed vision shifted so many into darkness for generations.

[@Sossasammy]

There is honor or just winning because you are not held back by outed concepts. There is no “Honor” in modern war nor in Star Wars because a lot of people who don’t fight with honor end up being victors. A real world example are guns, Japan outlawed the import of guns after a certain point and they were not used heavily until the start of the industrialization of Japan. Samurai were against the abolition of the warrior class along with their refusal to modernize, in the civil war between samurai and the emperor. The imperial Japanese Amy used heavy amounts of cannons and guns while the samurai did not. They thought there was no honor in using guns, so they lost.

[@dhaburuk6494]

Honour is a difficult thing to retain in a shifting and changing world, especially when honour is confused with the trappings of one culture or another. Of course, half the trouble is knowing what honour is.
