How The Mandalorians Became Expert Jedi Hunters - Star Wars Lore
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2023
- How did Mandalorians become so skilled at hunting Jedi? For centuries, the Mandalorians launched crusades against neighboring planets. Their goal was not to rule, they were just really good at military tactics and they enjoyed fighting. Their conquests eventually brought them to the attention of the Galactic Republic, which had to take action almost 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

But Republic troops were no match for the war-hardened Mandalorians and the Jedi joined the conflict. At first, the Mandalorians struggled against the Jedi’s Force powers, but they quickly developed tactics and technology to counter them, such as upgrading and equipping their armor with flamethrowers, containment ropes and even missiles. They also created the jetpack in order to attack the Jedi in unexpected ways and to quickly gain distance for their ranged weapons when the Jedi got in close for a lightsaber strike. Despite becoming the galaxy's best Jedi fighters, they lost the war, and the catastrophic final battle left their home planet a lifeless desert.

Jedi: "Why do you keep fighting us?"
Mandalorians: "Fuck you, that's why!"
"Fuck everyone that's why"
Sith: (relaxing in the corner)
“FOR MANDALORE!”
"This is the Way"
Yeah, pretty much.
Funny thing, the Mandalorians probably would have won if the Jedi council went to war with them. The Mandalorians even had strategies in place for dealing with specific Jedi Masters who might take command. But the Jedi council refused to act, so a badass renegade Jedi Knight no one had heard of led the charge, and he proved to be a brilliant military tactician who crushed the Mandalorians before defeating their leader in single combat.
Revan do be badass
Revan do be badass indeed. But it was obvious *why* needed to restrain themselves.
Even as Revan won, and the Galaxy was saved, the fan still had plenty of shit on it.
@@TheKueiJin Revan won because he used Un Jedi like tactics, he was willing to burn a planet if it give him a tactical advantage, Revan was a Tarkin with force powers.
Comments: Revan is so badass!
Me, knowing that Meetra Surik launched weapons of mass destruction to win the war: cute.
@@TwiceStruckExcept Revan wasn't as foolishly arrogant as Tarkin.
"The jedi can block lasers? Okay have fun with this buckshot" -therussianbadger
Oh so the Mandalorians created the High ground?
Portable Highground
They are up in the air so there's no ground. They're just high
Which is why Obi Wan fell in love with one
Nope
Mandalore "It's over Revan! I have the high ground!"
Revan "You underestimate my power!"
Malak "Wait, that works?!"
Lucasarts/Disney "Banned!"
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
>Lose and distribute into mercenary clans
Mandalorians developing flamer and ballistic weapons: parry this you filthy wizard
THIS IS MANDALORE!!! Drop kicks ewok into a Sarlacc Pit.
😂😂😂😂😂 I pray that’s lore accurate
Poor ewok😏kick somebody your size
The Space Spartans
Mandolorians when Jedi:
Honey, get the shotgun and flamethrower
What's ironic is that in the Old Republic Mandalorian wars (revan era), it was their mastery of killing Jedi that was their downfall.
They held the Republic to the standard of Mid level soldiers, which was an accurate prediction. But when hearing that their leader was a Jedi and he was new to the war, they tried anticipating Jedi Tactics. However Revan didn't use Jedi tactics. He used high level Soldier tactics, which the Mandalorians were caught off guard by. By the time that they realized how Revan was thinking and planning, they had lost too much ground and too many soldiers. There was nothing they could do to stop him. Mandalorians always learn from their mistakes, and this was a helluva lesson for them. Never take an opponent at face value.
Basically like the Emu war. The Mandalorians are the emus to Jedi
Then revan dropped a nuke on their planet to end it all lol
If they equipped for Jedi does that not make them superior to a soldier which a Jedi beats easily.
@@JohnJo-qn7wq not really. They were equipped in a way that would specifically exploit the weaknesses of a Jedi. Hostage planets, false surrenders, buckshot, strategies that work against a compassionate Jedi leader.
Revan was not compassionate. He would ignore hostages to take key military targets. He would kill surrendering Mandalorians anyway, under the knowledge that they never surrender. His Jedi specifically wore armor to counteract kinetic weapons so slugthrowers didn't work very well. They went from fighting Jedi to essentially fighting force sensitive soldiers.
@@tasonjodd5151 So manadalorians are no match to serious battle driven Jedi.
Mandalor's destruction happened like 3000 years later, as the Republic attacked them for daring to tax the trade lanes that they protected during the Hundred Years Darkness.
The Republic, having rebuilt after the Ruusan Campaign, was disarming, and wouldn't tolerate the existence of any other well armed nation state. The Mandalorians, on the other hand, had been keeping the whole damn Rim alive by enthusiastic pirate hunting, while the Republic burned and lost so much infrastructure that they couldn't reliably supply ammunition to the Army of the Light.
Was gunna say the same thing. Final battle of the Mandalorian Wars wasn’t on Mandalore, it was on Malachore V. Creator needs a refresher on KotOR II lol
I believe you are right and thank you for saying it better than I could ever have
Don't forget that Mandalorians also have a "star wars version" of buckshot
Jedi: Why do you keep fighting us?!?
Mandos: This is the Way
So they exist only to fight... no reason, no purpose, just fight
👍
they were slavers, fancy warmongering slavers
Mandarlorian style in knight suit is so dope.
I remember the comics of Jango Fett
Darth Sidious: How a mere man killed many of your kind?
Count Dooku:With his bare hands.
They're basically the saiyan race of star wars 😂😂😅
Wasn’t Malachor V the final battle of the war?
Well I’m sure there were skirmishes after it, but it was the last major battle. After Mandalore’s mask was stolen, the clans fell apart and were unable to keep any momentum in their campaign
Mandalorians fell victim to their own aggressions
Aggressive turn to a victim 🤣
and Jedi fell victim to their own pacifism
First left as a desert next it became a tomb
I have an answer of my own because Mandalorians are BADASS!!!
If Disney Star Wars does another live action Trilogy it should be about the Mandalorian Jedi War
No
@@maadamusa5032 why not?
@@Mextlatec They'll screw it up, that's why. For the Republic/Mandalorian wars, you need Revan. The way Disney tends to do things, they will utterly butcher Revan, nevermind the lore. Besides, you'll need more than a few movies to elaborate on this period, especially considering that Revan and Malik play integral roles, add that onto the fact that their turn to the dark side is manufactured by Darth Vitiate. It's a whole thing, very complex, too complex and nuanced for Disney.
@@julianmcmillan2867 thanks for the history and now that you mention it, yes Disney would f*****-up like they always do
@@Mextlatec You should definitely check out the lore and stories around the Mandalorian wars, Revan, Malak, Vitiate and Malacor-5. Stupendous Wave has some good summaries and Star Wars Theory does too. For context, Revan is probably the most interesting and alluring Star Wars character that was never part of the trilogies, Clone Wars or Rebels series. In other words: the most interesting legends character. Basically the guy who invented the Rule of Two but never institutionalised it, then Darth Bane finds Revan's holocron centuries later and learns about the Rule of Two and he is the one who establishes the Rule of Two. You could say that in this way, Revan was Bane's master. See what I mean? Disney would butcher all of this, and this is just breadcrumbs compared to the whole dish.
Final battle didn't have as much effect on Mandalore as it did on Malachor. Malachor V suffered the most, as it was completely destroyed using the Mass Shadow Generator. This created a wound in the Force itself, also causing those left there to be consumed by it. Darth Nihilus and the Exile are both examples of what happens when one survives Malachor. The Exile however, cut himself/herself off from the Force, whereas Nihilus was consumed by the Force, and was nothing but an empty shell that feeds on it.
People why u fighting us. Mandalorians: chanting and yelling we want the smoke
So, how did the Mandalore look before all of the bombings?
Their military adapted to overcome the Jedi. Then Revan came.
THIS IS THE WAY
Practice.. lots and lots of practice!
They were too good to exist.
Mandolorians are like the catholic crusaders, even they're helmets look like knight helmets, and the recent Mandolorian episode was all about that "faith" or religion that the culture has practiced so long, as someone raised in the church, the themes of apostate and redemtion were as strong as Scorsese's film Silence, about Portuguese missionaries in japan, definitely not starwars but shared the same themes of faith, apostates and redemption
I'm confused, if the mandalorians created the jetpack to escape Jedi who got close enough for a lightsaber strike........WHY did the Jedi NOT use the force to pull the Mandalorian back to the ground and closer to them to strike them making the jet pack useless?
Isn't the jetpack almost useless considering Jedi can just force pull them back for a strike when they try to use the jet pack?
WHY did obi wan not force pull jango fett down to the ground when he used his jetpack?
I mean Rey and Vader literally force pulled a whole entire starship to the ground......BUT Obis can not force pull a Mandalorian with a jetpack to the ground?
Plot
Mandalore was glassed 😢
Space Spartans
"you can block lasers? Good luck with this buckshot"
Force crush his Jetpack it’ll affect him, near by allies and shrapnel pieces for further allies are a good tactic😈
That's an ultra rare forbidden art only known by a few sith masters not taught by JEDI, only a handful of Dark Jedi that survived malachor V mastered the art.. so no, it's unrealistic ..
@@romanking1202 why cant some Expert Jedi hunter Mandalorian arm himself with Cortosis armor with Ysalamiri skin cloak?
Then make himself a Cyborg and replace his legs with Bird like grappling legs aka Grievous but hes actually well funded and has Cortosis and Ysalamiri cloak with him
@@nickalex4235 cortosis weave armor is cool and can temporarily short out lightsabers but was brittle and would often break over a few additional strikes, as for the ysalamari cloak I believe the lizard being alive is what creates the force immune bubble not the skin itself and they need a lot of maintenance just to keep them alive and on your body.. as for the leg surgery.. that's wild, Mandos rarely got cybernetic upgrades unless it was to replace a missing eye or limb, they did however use stimulants to augment reaction time and visual attunement and target acquisition .. but was rarely used since stims could easily make you a junky...
@@romanking1202 wait so why cant Grievous get himself a living Ysalamari pet then in Legends?
Did he not need the lizard and can kill jedi just fine without it?
@@nickalex4235 well for one thing , Grievous killed plenty of Jedi knights and Padawans which means that the average Jedi although skilled and deadly are nowhere near the skill and power of a Jedi master or even rarer a Chosen one with very high mastery over the Force... You simply don't engage with enemies of that caliber without an entire unit of elite skilled warriors and even then that might not be enough.. Grievous killed some Masters but it was very difficult... Now as for the Space Salamander, I'm not entirely sure if he was even aware of this creature during that era in time during the clone wars, I believe admiral throng was the first Big Bad villain to even deploy this creature successfully in the comics...
Parry this you filthy wizard
You left out the part about how they started using slug throwers because you can't parry a chunk of metal with a lightsaber.
Remember, the Mandalorians once tortured an alien race so completely that they became nothing more then animals that Mandalorians would use as mounts, the torture was so complete those aliens never evolved sentience again.
The high ground!
How about cheap, numerous battle droids with shotguns vs Jedi?
And missles that explode shrapnel above them.
Sooooo... how furious/upset would a Mandalorian be if they learned about the Dark Side, and realized that the only thing keeping every Jedi from killing them instantly by crushing their organs with a thought is their strict moral code?
That's an ultra rare forbidden art only known by a few sith masters not taught by JEDI, only a handful of Dark Jedi that survived malachor V mastered the art.. so no, it's unrealistic .. besides that canonically speaking , in order for the process to Begin to utilize force crush the Dark Jedi or sith had to lose all connection to the force first through a very traumatic event (the natural way), this process was mimicked and passed down by literally 1 or two sith in the know called separation.. JEDI also had the knowledge of separation but was lost when they got wiped out during the old republic era.. they used it as punishment towards Jedi that fell from their tenants.. so yeah brotha not gonna happen..
Also another note , Mandalorians have been known to kill many nests of sith in surprise attacks and when Mandos are caught off guard playing defense, mind you some Mandos used Battle mounts during some of these skirmishes but were successful none the less at crushing the emo side of the force... 😉✌️
Their home planet became a lifeless desert ? How WHAT ??
I don't recall if it was turned to desert but the core of the planet was destroyed. Destroy a planets core and it pretty naturally turns into a dried out husk or rock.
@@Naraku-no-Hana-WE We're talking about Mandalore here right ??
Mandalorians vs the Knights of Ren might be a good story.
Did you even see them die off in the third 'sequel'?
I skipped it.
They have a thing called flamenwefer
Wasn't it the empire that bombed their planet.
Thus they never had a full war against the jedi
no this was in the old republic era, those mandalorians came the closest none Force users to conquer the Republic and the Jedi
Mandalorians- Haha we are not fully equipped to fight Jedi!
Revan- Hey bud....watcha doin?
Mando- We are preparing to fight....fight.....why are you.....oh shit....
Some real ol'g Mandos held Revan in high regards for bringing a damn good fight to them... No bad blood when his name gets mentioned around most mando circles
Need a bigger flamethrower......... imagine the heavy flamer from Warhammer 40k.........yeeea let see if those Jedi can block tis.
Yesss sirr. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You telling me mandalorians got the high ground and still lost? Hamm i wonder how many jedi die
in the war?relatively few. it was if I am correct less than a dozen jedi that sought to act from the get go of the war,only after the cruelty of the mandalorians was proved a bit more joined the fight.
If revan didn't exsists the war wouldn't have been so one sided.
I got a good question how did the Gandan army subdue and capture general grievous....
It's gungan*
Because of plot armour
Umm hate to break your bubble but mandalorians humans inherent the Taung mandalorians(the founding race) too take back their home world Coruscant and get revenge on the jedi that refused to be peace keepers as they claim to be in the past and let the zhell invade. Which was before the first jedi Civil War happen.
The Jedi glass the home planet
Uh, no. That was done by the Empire.
@@Holmesson no the jedi of the old republic did first
@@thedarkcrow9631 What the KoTOR did to Mandalore was NOTHING compared to the Great Purge. I figure when you say they turned the entire planet to glass, you had to be talking about the Empire.... seeing as how that's basically what they did.
@@Holmesson the jedi destroy the planet first after the war too make sure the did rise up again
@@thedarkcrow9631 You're talking about Malachor V...
didn't they lose cause of Revan and the star forge?
no, it was the Mass shadow generator, the star forge was implemented in the Jedi civil war
Too bad all this lore that made us fall in love with them is slowly being chipped away…
More like a rug pull while they slowly replace it with their new lore.
Hold on, I thought the galactic empire destroyed the planet Mandalor after the clone wars. Is this a cannon vs legends thing? 🤔
Cannon but the real reason why Mandalor looked that way before the empire is because the clans kept fighting each other
Lol
Jeez
Mandalorians are orcs confirmed?
If Mandolorians liked fighting, they could have created gladiatorial games without causing war ffs. Whoever was Mandolore (leader) was an absolute Dumbazz, couldn't he see that with their Mandolorian conquests it would create a coalition to fight them.
The taungs were shaped their environment, and that environment was war...
So the mandalorians are like sayians? They don’t fight because of conquest but because they like it
Well din did say that weapons are a part of his religion
Meanwhile slug guns existed and were proven to be effective against jedi. Couldn't they have had a sidearm along with their fancy blaster?
Mandalorian weapons in the old republic (no longer canon) lore used blasters that had a physical slug enveloped inside an energy beam. Worked reasonably well against most targets.
so most of their shit was made for fighting jedi cool
They lost because they were killing themselves off like the sith did....it was two different war factions on mandalore
If this wasn't just made up then I don't think any mandalorian would beat a Jedi lmao, none of the tactics and tech listed here would help at all against the force
Fun fact; they can’t deflect fire with a lightsaber though.
Edit: A skilled Mandalorian could beat a Jedi, but it’d be difficult.
By itself directly, no they’d lose, but bc the can constantly use different weapons and keep switching, it’d be enough to keep them distracted from using the force
Most Jedi arent like Obi-Wan or Mace though. Your rank and file Jedi would die in droves to battle droids, nevermind Mandalorian veterans
We saw Jango pick apart a Jedi in the Clone Wars movie, Jedi are not invincible, and can be caught off guard like anyone else. I agree on average tho a decent Jedi wrecks the average Mando
Against Sith? Definitely not. But keep in mind the Jedi don’t tend to think of the Force as a tool or weapon. They don’t force choke, force rend, force lightning, or force crush people. They only have defensive powers + telekinesis. Also, the Jedi began training Soresu much more during the clone wars. Before that, your average Jedi wasn’t super proficient at deflecting blasters, let alone slugs 😈
I still don't know why tf the Jedi never just yeeted them against a wall or some sharp objects with the force.
Definitely plot armor for the story to not make Jedi as overpowered as they should be.
The mandalorian home planet was only destroyed around 1,000 bby
That's new canon, this video is about Old Republic legends lore. Honestly the worst thing Disney/LucasArts has ever done was make the Old Republic lore non-canon, it was so vastly better than the ST and honestly the PT as well.
@@Naraku-no-Hana-WE I agree but only to an extent, Kotor 1 and 2 are the best star wars media to ever come out, plain and simple, but swtor and it's book treated kotor characters terribly, I'd rather have gotten kotor 3 to finish the amazing story, but swtor did add some cool stuff
Kannon jarris aka Caleb dume Word too Sabine Wren history lesson the Jedi won the war with Mandalor
😕 No kidding all they wanted was their old ways back and they got stomped on for that 😢
"Lightsabers can block blaster fire? Block this buckshot!"
"Parry this you filthy casuls"
-Mandalorians (probably)
Mandylor was destroyed by the empire not the republic Palpa teen head and west of the help of the Mandalorians and then pull the Hitler and stab them in the back their numbers got reduced and they got scattered assisting the empire and when the world was basically undefended they swept in
There’s more StarWars history then the years during the empire.
This is 4000 years before ep4 dum dum. Mandalore was already a ruined wasteland during the clone wars and this is the reason why.
"Mandylor" and "palpa teen" got me dyiny
The hell is this english
@@lastshadow8680 BROken Engwrish 😂
How, they didn't.
