Mando season 3

Doesn't mean Vader knew about it though. Big galaxy.

And who knows how Beskar interacts with force lightning.

That's possible, but I find it unlikely. If Vader was interested in defense, he'd have done some research and it would have quickly come up.

Well the real reason is beskar wasn't a thing conceptually when they designed Vader.

It wasn't a thing in legends either until early 2000's. 90's had "Mandalorian Iron".

Yeah, but I doubt they'd have put it on him anyway. Adding beskar to Vader is a good way for the Empire to win. Luke could have had the higher ground all he wanted at that point.

This looked helpful.

Wait Resistance lasted until just before the end of TRoS? Damn. It didn't feel that way though I admit I had it on whilst working rather than paying close attention.

As a DM, I'd probably say that beskar impaired the use of the Force, just to avoid powergamers using it for their Force-wielding characters.

Unforch we have a now-canon Mandalorian Jedi who used to prat about in full Mando-armour waving the Darksaber around (Tarre Vizsla).

I guess they could still retcon his armour to not being beskar though.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Do you have a source for this? I have not heard that anywhere, and I certainly did not get the impression that Grogu was with Luke more than a couple months at most.

I would have to find the interview, but it was clarified by Favreau that Grogu spent two years with Luke.

I was lucky in WEG Star Wars, in that I was the only player who ever played a Jedi. I wasn't looking forward to having to tell someone that they just Lightsabred Bounty Hunter armour into uselessness, just to avoid that issue.

It was Favreau and unfortunately it was very specific and screws up the timeline a bit.

Honestly, forcing everyone writing for Star Wars to be able to pass muster with a Saga System GM (using a battlemat) would avoid a lot of their issues.
