Fanclub Oya manda!: The Mandalorian/Republic Commando Fan Club

I kinda feel like Roly should be an older character. Not based on anything concrete really other than that I think that for him to be taken seriously by Darman & Fi they would have to get the impression that he has some life experience behind his POV. I feel like he is more 60 than 30(or even 40).

 

Here is my Melusar nomination, Ron Rifkin.

 

i think you mean Darman and Niner, Fi was on Mandalore recovering and never met Melusar

 

After a bit of thought I am going to nominate Tom Sizemore for the role of Roly Melusar

 

I like Todd's idea for Parja. I was thinking of a less than white actress myself.

 

Certainly there must be room for Michael Fassbender to join the cast.

 

Fassbender would have been my Shysa choice

 

He is the spitting image of Pre Vizsla.

There certainly is room for Fassbender, all someone needs to do is nominate him

 

he would make a great Vizsla, consider him my nomination then

 

Oya manda! I've been a Mando fan since I read the Republic Commando books back in the fall of 2011. Hooked ever since.

 

Oya Revanfan, always a good to see more Mandalorian fans!

 

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Welcome here Revanfan!

 

Thank you, ner vod.

 

I was thinking about the RC series earlier today and I realized, Darman has the biggest temper out of all the commandos. Think about it: Atin, when he gets mad, has a cold, intense anger, but he only gets mad around Vau. Sev, he only gets angry at Geonosians and battle droids (and Fi). Darman? Even though he was supposed to be the calm one, he got mad a lot. For example, when he wailed away on Kal'buir. Did Kal do wrong by not telling him about Kad? Maybe. But did he deserve a tooth knocked out? No, probably not. Darman has a temper, man.

 

This is going to be awesome!

Basically a Bounty Hunter version of the Jedi Path & Book of the Sith.

Can't wait for this.

 

Yeah, he deserved to lose a tooth

As much as Kal helped people he also screwed with their lives. He is lucky that is all Darman did to him.

 

I will have this.

 

It looks really cool; unfortunately, it looks like it has some Death Watch bunk in there, too. I hope it doesn't dwell too much on them...I wish TCW had never gone down that dark road and Death Watch had died with Tor Vizsla.

 

Thing is it never did die with Tor, TCW aside. They were still operating on Endor in the Dark Times, as well as appearing in 501st. I'm thinking the book will integrate these well.

 

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. What was the leader's name...Gedyc? We never found out much about him. Personally, I head-retconned that Gedyc is the guy in the TCW episodes with the Maul-style horns on his helmet, and he took over Death Watch after Sidious took Maul out.

 

Hello. Or should I say Su cuy'gar?

I'm a long time fan of the Mandalorians, been obsessed with their customs and people since at least 2000 when I read Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War while learning English, recently joined the TFN and pumped for Star Wars discussion. Absolutely love how they have grown over the years; from Boba Fett to the True Mandalorians to new additions such as Kadikla, the Neo-Crusaders and the New Mandalorians. This thread seems like a good way to feed my obsessions with other Mandoheads (prefer that term to Fandalorian).

I disagree. I think that the Death Watch splinter group hasn't been touched on enough over the years. We never knew how they managed to recruit while in hiding (and they were in hiding nearly from the get-go, seeing as they were thought destroyed by Jaster Mereel when Jango was only a boy) or what their command structure looked like. In fact, their ideology thus far has been both "oppose the Supercommando Codex" and "return the Mandalorians to our former state as warriors". That's it for their ideology that we've known so far. All the other groups, except Kadikla, have been given entries in reference books in the past and we know how they operate. The problem with Death Watch is that they are secretive, and thus we know little about them.

Lorka Gedyc. Apparently took over before or just after Order 66. I like your thinking there -- this guy should definitely be named as him, although I really don't like the horns on the helmet for some reason.

 

Welcome Hansa, always a pleasure to meet a Mando.

If Mandalorians are your thing, then you have certainly found the right place!

 

I have to say I'm pretty excited for this as well. Although, I don't really know how these books 'work', but are they actually situated within canon as actual things, with In Universe sources? If so, the following line (from the article) worries me: "When legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett met his untimely end at the Pit of Carkoon, the Rebel Alliance discovered a secure, blast-proof bounty hunter’s case holding Boba Fett’s personal items. For years it remained hidden away. But now all who wish may unlock the secrets held within . . . ." This seems like an intentional phasing in of a new canon (one in which Boba is dead) in preparation for the new movies.

As for the casting game!
For Melusar, I nominate Kyle Maclachlan.

 

I would say it is an intentional phrasing, but remember, these books are in-universe, so really it's not canon that Boba is dead, just that whoever found the book and released it to the "galaxy" believes Fett to be dead. I find it likely that shortly after the mass publication, this author received a "visit" from Boba. A very angry Boba. Remember, Boba sold Slave I anonymously to the Rebel Alliance. It is likely they found this on the ship. There's your in-universe explanation and Boba still gets to live.

Also, as to Melusar, I always pictured him as, well, younger. Someone in his early to mid thirties. Don't know why, but that's always the image I got. Kind of like a Tom Cruise style character (though he didn't appear as T.C. in my mind).
