Will you turn to the Dark Side?

[Darrin Drader]

The Mandalorian army is dead

Even if it was alive, the Jedi took them out before, they can take them out again...and again...and again.

The Mandalorian army always consists of the toughest, most ruthless warriors in the galaxy. They are the only non-force users capable of challenging jedi in a competent fashion. Each culling simply reduces them down to their strongest members who go on to establish the next Mandalorian army, each tougher than the one before. This process culminated with Boba Fett, who will go on to lead the next great Mandalorian army, this time without any sith to manipulate their destiny.

Your planet is doomed, with or without jedi. Get your affairs in order and notify your next of kin.

Oh, and:

Sith Warrior
Your savage and aggressive nature does you credit, my apprentice. And it will serve you well when you learn the ancient battle arts necessary to become a Sith warrior. There are weapons, powerful weapons, that I will teach you to use - not the least of which is your own formidable body. Your lessons will be harsh and painful. But you will use that pain. It will make you invincible. Not even the most accomplished Jedi Knight will be able to withstand your onslaught.

ditto.

"Back In Black" by AC/DC rulz! Definitely for the discrimminating Sith.....

I don't think that's quite what he meant by "once you go black you never go back..."

but not Torm as their fashion designers can't do anything for his rainbow robes...

Sure they could - they could play off the idea that you see the rainbow at the end of a 40 day storm.

But my robes are black and purple denim, actually. (Denim is nice for the armor bonus.)

My Mandalorian army and I are jamming your communications. Prepare for invasion!

Um, mandalore is a material, like titanium or denim - not a planet or race.

Actually, Mandalore is the leader of the Mandalorians. A non-human species of warriors that are pretty much pawns of the Sith. That's all about 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, though.

Actually, Mandalore was never used in conjunction with canonical Star Wars, although Mandalorian, as in Mandalorian battle armor, was one of the terms tossed around to describe Boba Fett as he went through the development process. Since Boba Fett is obviously human, and he (and his "father" Jango) are the only known wearers of Mandalorian battle armor, the idea that the Mandalorians are a race of non-humans ruled by someone named Mandalore is pretty preposterous.

Although that's a problem I have with a lot of EU-based material...

Interestingly enough, the EU material that the original Mandalorians are from is the one that Lucas has actually taken the most from to put into the prequels. Tales of the Jedi comics are the best out there, and also spawned the two KotOR games.

Of course, SOMETHING happened in the fifty years between the defeat of the original Mandalore(the strongest of the Mandalorians always takes that name) because the species went from a not completely human race to a human race in the KotOR games.

Remember though, this is 4,000 years BEFORE Jango or Boba, so there's a lot of time for changes. By the time they're around, the Mandalorians were really a group of humans mercenaries who took up the name.

I've heard of the whole Mandalorian race thing before (from the Marvel comics, I believe?), and I also remember all the early speculation that Attack Of The Clones would feature a battle between Jedi and Mandalorians that would arrive from jump ships someplace called "Concord Dawn." But its all hooey. The source I rely on is a mention made in one of the novels (I can't to be honest remember which one at the moment, but I'm wanting to say it was "Tales of the Bounty Hunters"), which is newer and which Lucas has at least given the status of canon-until-I-specifically-say-it-isn't. And that says it is a material.

Tales of the Bounty Hunters is also the same thing that says Boba Fett is named Jaster Mareel. Not a very reliable source.

Considering that nearly 90% of that has been changed by Lucas and nothing in the TotJ comics have. In fact, Lucas actually reads the comics and once said that the TotJ comics were a great representation of the ancient Jedi.
