How The Mandalorians Became Expert Jedi Hunters - Star Wars Lore #Shorts

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!"

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.

Mandolorians when 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.

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.

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

[kingwinkz]

[benjaminkitchen]

I remember the comics of Jango Fett
Darth Sidious: How a mere man killed many of your kind?
Count Dooku:With his bare hands.

Their military adapted to overcome the Jedi. Then Revan came.

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.

[redipsgaming]

I have an answer of my own because Mandalorians are BADASS!!!

[spartanwarrior]

Mandalorians fell victim to their own aggressions

[insanitysymphony]

People why u fighting us. Mandalorians: chanting and yelling we want the smoke

[Mextlatec]

If Disney Star Wars does another live action Trilogy it should be about the Mandalorian Jedi War
