Nerd Time - With Dustchu - Star Wars - The Mandalorians · 12:13pm Jul 25th, 2015
Hello everybody! Today I bring you something new and probably fucking stupid.
Nerd Time - with Dustchu.
Subject for today is Star Wars
A franchise that takes place in a Galaxy far far away.
Now, I am a huge fan of Star Wars, mainly cause one of the very first games I played for PS1 was a Star Wars game.
The graphics were shit, controls were stiff, and it took place in the first movie with Liam Neeson and that other guy who I can't remember.
But I loved the shit out of it!
Anywho, onto my topic.
*coughnotcopypastecough*
The Mandalorians - known in Mando'a as the Mando'ade, or 'Children of Mandalore' - were a nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species and multiple genders, all bound by a common culture.
Now... I never really knew much about them to begin with, I only knew about Boba Fett. (Hell, I'm a fan of the franchise and I know jackshit aside from the movies Dx I need to read the gotdang books) And anyway, I was reading about the Mandalorians, about their culture and what not... and I have to say, I am loving how they operate. I love that Warrior society stuff, its so neat to me, and I have a soft spot for nomadic warrior tribes.
And the more I read about them, the more I'm impressed with their culture.
Their armor impresses me the most, as they can customize it to personal preference, or whatever, like so below.
Mandalorian warriors decorated their armor to reflect personal accomplishments, clan affiliation, or simply personal preference. They often repainted their armor to reflect rank, clan, and possibly the current terrain. They were also known to paint their armor in the traditional colors that represented specific causes the individual might currently be undertaking. The colors, however, did not always have a specific meaning. Sometimes they were just colors that the particular Mandalorian liked. Some Mandalorians wore pieces of armor to honor relatives, both dead and alive. As of the Clone Wars, these colors were known to have significance:
Gray = Mourning a Lost Love
Red = Honoring a Parent
Black = Justice
Gold = Vengeance
Green = Duty
Blue = Reliability
Orange = A Lust for Life
They are so neat, and they have earned my approval!
... this may or may not have spurred me to write a fanfiction about a Mandalorian... maybe... possibly...
Hehehe.
Ehhh... here's some pretty pictures and shit.

I regret nothing...
