10 Facts About Mandalorians

Mandalorians are fictional people associated with the planet Mandalore in the Star Wars universe and franchise created by George Lucas.

The backstory of the Mandalorians was first extensively explored in issues of Marvel Comics' original Star Wars series and various other Star Wars Legends media, including comics by Dark Horse and video games by LucasArts.

Mandalorians made their live action cinematic debut in The Empire Strikes Back, with the bounty hunter Boba Fett, a supporting antagonist.

Animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars expands upon Mandalorian lore with the introduction of new characters, such as Duchess Satine Kryze, the pacifist leader of Mandalore and a romantic interest for Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Pre Vizsla, the leader of the Death Watch faction of Mandalorians who seek to overthrow Satine and restore Mandalore's warrior traditions.

The Mandalorians eventually came into contact with the Old Republic and fought their Jedi protectors.
