Talk:Mandalorian/Legends

Are Mandalorians human or humanoid? --SparqMan 21:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * A bit of "all of the above." Originally they were non-human humanoids; later humans joined their ranks, and later still other non-human races also joined. JSarek 21:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

They are depicted in the movies and games as being identical to humans, I suspect them to simply be a unique culture. Imperialles 21:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Why isn't there a picture of KOTOR-era Mandalorians?
I think it would be good for the article to have a picture of a KOTOR-era Mandalorian, one in the KOTOR-era full Mandalorian battle armor, like the armor of Bendak Starkiller, or one of the Mandalorians on Dxun.

Do you have at least one picture of the "shogun" Mandalorians from the New Sith Wars?
 * If you think there needs be a picture of such, then put it in yourself. QuentinGeorge 03:23, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Armor
While in pictures, It looks like the mandalorians had identical armor, in reality, karen traviss said they didn't. I expect we should see this in her new book, bloodlines, where boba fett leads the mandalorians.Xilentshadow900 11:15, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)

um
mændəlɔːiːʌn So how's that pronounced in english?--Xilentshadow900 00:43, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * For those who can read phonetics it is basically, "Mand" (as in hand), "Lor" (as in "Lore") "Ian" (as in the name). QuentinGeorge 01:10, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * All i can see here is Mandel-rectangle-rectangle-i-rectangle-rectangle-n. Ridiculous. --Azizlight 05:07, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

skull image
I changed the mandalorian picture at the beginning because the original image was fuzzy and looked bad I thought. --Dannyboy7783 13:16 10 Dec 2005 (EST)

sOMONE JUST ERASED ALL THE INFO !

Ships
-We need more pics of non-fanon ships. the gunships, the dungeon ships- i dont care. just more ships --Yoda1300 23:14, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * perhaps we could make another section for ships in the article, so we don't have to take up much space? But I think it's a good idea. Definitely more ships. I'll try to scan some in later.--Xilentshadow900 14:09, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Womandalorian pic

 * I added the name "Vhonte Tervho", Tom Hodges' designation for the female Mandalorian hunter he drew, to the description under her image box. Is this acceptable?

Quiet Mandalorian 14:34, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. The name isn't canon, but the character article makes that clear. -LtNOWIS 23:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Good.

Mandalorian marriage?
I'd like to add in the Tom Hodges pic of a Mandalorian wedding from the Insider. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

 * On the side of the screen, under "toolbox," there is an upload file option. Scan the pic in, and upload it to the site.--Xilentshadow900 15:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I just tried that, but when I hit "upload file", nothing happens.

Quiet Mandalorian 19:49, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Quiet Mandalorian
 * I took care of it. Kuralyov 19:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Nuts.

Mythosaur skull?
Whence comes the information that the Mando skull insignia is based off a mythosaur? Lieutenant Gerard 18:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

"No official ranks beside Mandalore"?
In KOTOR II I'm positive are Mandalorians at Dxun that are addressed as "sergeant" and "commander." I think the Mandalorian you rescue from the jungle addresses his superior that way after returnign to the camp. Anyone near that stage of the game? Kuralyov 19:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely correct, Legs. --Imp 19:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll change it, then. Kuralyov 19:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That info was from Karen Traviss, although I'm sure she didn't mean the KOTOR mandalorians. So when you edit it, tell what time period.--Xilentshadow900 20:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * With all due respect to Karen Traviss, published canon sources outrank statements by authors. Kuralyov 20:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Unless the author is stating canon.--Xilentshadow900 20:46, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's all here--Xilentshadow900 20:51, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not canon unless it's in a published source. Karen Traviss' blog is not a canon source. Doesn't matter if an author is saying it, that doesn't make it official. KOTOR II, however, is official. Kuralyov 21:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that the use of ranks in kotOR II would be considered "game mechanics"?

Quiet Mandalorian 22:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Quiet Mandalorian
 * No, because it wasn't something related to the game engine or mechanics, it was actually spoken by characters. Kuralyov 22:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * How do we know it's not simply something to differentiate the various warriors from each other for the benefit of the player?

Quiet Mandalorian 17:03, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Quiet Mandalorian
 * "They ignore rank and status and prefer to judge by actions and achievements, a true meritocracy. ... Their fighting forces settle into informal command structures almost without thought or effort, focused on the outcome and not personal ambition." <-- From the new article. I guess it's just 2 different eras. Especially if the article is talking about post-New Sith Wars mandos.-LtNOWIS 17:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Since the Mando's on Dxun are essentially in a war zone, perhaps that would account for their command structure? --Fade 18:27, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

The Clans of Boba Fett
With the new article, it looks like a ton needs to be added to the culture section. Anybody up to it? Also, we are NOT allowed to copy the dictionary to the wikipedia page.--Xilentshadow900 04:02, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I could give it a shot. -LtNOWIS 17:47, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
