i like the little bit of Clone Wars history revealed in this issue of the old Marvel Star Wars comics concerning Mandalorians:

shortly after Palpatine set up the Galactic Empire, the Mandalorian government sent in 212 Supercommandos to help fight for the Empire during the Clone Wars. only three survived. Boba Fett, Fenn Sysha and Tobbi Dala. Fett who was their chief officer, became disenchanted with fighting for the Empire and went off on his own to become a bounty hunter.
