Why is there a dash in between Han and Solo? Also, do you pronounce Han like ham or like John?

You mean you think of the album cover when you think of the word/name “Opeth”

Yep.

Density said:

TFA was good in the same way that the prequels were bad.

Objectively so. Or subjectively? Let’s talk about that in the Ranking thread.

This is exactly what I think of when I think “Opeth”.

Never heard of the band though.

We all have to go at some point. But it still is a shame. 😦

Blah blah car.

Um-hum.

I AM THE BEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED

Well that’s fine. You should probably stay clear of my post when Rogue One, Episode VIII and IX gets released then 😄

Just sit in the back, please. 😉

I mean, I have no problem with it, but I’d prefer not to know.

Yeah, I just don’t want to know.

I know I’ve not been posting here very long but I’ve got to leave already (stupid body being stupid, needs fixin’) I’ve had a lot of fun and I’ll try to stop in and catch up if I get the chance. I like this place, and you’ve all kept me company whenever I needed it long before I started writing my nonsense here. I hope in my brief time I made at least one person laugh!

Please be excellent to each other 😃

Godspeed, good sir. Godspeed.

I know squat about the EU, so what’s “Mandalorians?”

Basically, in either canon, the Mandalorians are the people warrior culture from the planet Mandalore.

To get more in-depth, read below.

Originally, during pre-production for The Empire Strikes Back there was an idea that there would be a group of “supercommandos” from the Mandalore system who wore heavily weaponized white armour. This was eventually whittled down to just one, Boba Fett, and the armour was repainted to the green, yellow, and red we see in the movie. The novelization that came out around then said that Boba Fett wore a suit of “Mandalorian Armour”, and that the Mandalorians were a group of “evil warriors” who were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars, without saying that Boba was a Mandalorian himself.

This was later retconned by the original Marvel comics. Boba Fett (later retconned to some random clone) became one of three surviving supercommandos from the world of Mandalore. The Mandalorian supercommandos had been decimated during the Clone Wars after being ordered to capture Princess Leia by Palpatine (later retconned to Padme Amidala).

In that same comic, it is revealed that Mandalore, a lush jungle/forest planet, came under the heel of the Empire after the Clone Wars, and the other two Mandalorian supercommandos, Fenn Shysa and Tobbi Dala, returned to train a group of Mandalorian Protectors to wage guerilla warfare against the Imperial slavers. Princess Leia showed up looking for Dengar and got involved in the Mandalorian rebellion which eventually led to the liberation of Mandalore from the Empire.

Later on, a writer called Karen Traviss would come along and make a lot of retcons (the two mentioned were hers). She successfully turned Boba Fett and the Mandalorians into a group of Mary Sue infallible good-guy warrior badasses and drove the entire concept into the ground while creating a really creepily-dedicated and aggressive fanbase and a full language to use in her books. Luckily she got butthurt about the possibility of her stories being overwritten and quit Star Wars in a huff before going off to write awful Halo books.

The Clone Wars retconned things in a more interesting direction by making the Mandalorians a warrior culture that had fought so many wars that Mandalore had been reduced to a barren wasteland, and the current ruler was an off-worlder and a pacifist who had exiled the planet’s remaining warriors to the moon Concordia. I won’t give any spoilers about the arc because it’s actually quite interesting and I think very good, but suffice to say it’s hard to keep warriors down.

Personally, I preferred the idea that “Mandalorian” was more of a warrior culture that one could ascribe to (which prevailed around the Tales of the Jedi and Knights of The Old Republic eras, and even into the Open Seasons comic), rather than a set people from a set planet. But I also really, really enjoyed the way the Mandalorian arcs played out in The Clone Wars.

Interesting concept.
