it seems almost like Mandalorians are the Star Wars version of Klingons now.
That’s an insult to the Mandalorians.
I’ve heard a lot of people describe the legends Mandos this way, I guess since they make the easiest comparisons as “the warrior race”.
Maybe it fits Karen Traviss’ Mandos. I wouldn’t know, since I never read that stuff. But the Mandalorians in TCW were far better than the Space Vikings of TNG+.
