Um, the Ewok "ear muff" is actually a trophy worn on the hoods of some of a tribe's greatest warrirors, in the manner of the Dathomiri and (for any Flashman fans out there - Leto?) the Gallas of nineteenth-century Africa...

I figure that's a fair reply to "fluffy dice"...

Oh, absolutely. Maybe have the "White Rajah of Sarawak" do a bit of Ewok-work, with a fair bit of Ewok-induced political disturbance in Schleswig und Holstein.

Spooky. I used to live in Cirencester, right opposite an estate once owned by said Rajah.

Is it an omen?

I have a question: How resitent is mandalorian armor? ( could you give states for neo-crusader and super comando) When Boba becomes Mandalore, does he get the Mandalore armor that canderous had? Or does he still where super comando armor? And are their any specs for mandalorian capital ships?

Sorry for asking somany questions, but i do want to know.

The resistance is described in the New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology. They are pretty tough, though tougher than Stormtrooper armor, and equal to clone trooper armour, they arn´t made for running right into blasterfire. they help against few shots, but that´s it. Better ad a personal shield generator belt to be on the safe side. See info from the NEGtW&T few pages back, I posted / transcribed all Info on Mandalorian Armour that was in there for this topic.

Neocrusader and supercommando armour is nearly equal, I believe. they cover all of the body and only the accessoires changed, not much the thoughness. The Mandos we see in Kotor games and later in comics etc. seem to be not much different in armour toughness. only weaponary changed and the supercommando armour protects less body parts than the neocrusader, in favor of better moving and maneuvering. If you want stats for the Neocrusader armour somebody has to look the KOTOR 1 & II strategy guides up and transcribe the info. the supercommando armour info was within WEG and Wizards Rpg Guides. info was posted already in this topic, but the exact rpg data may be added if you want that kind of details. (I never saw a Mandalorian measuring his strength by rolling a dice in battleflied, but what a thought lol).

As Mandalore, I think, Boba keeps his armour. Maybe just some sign or change in his stanart armour, but nothing else. Canderous armour is outdated though cool. the mask of mandalore might no longer be worn by Fett, but maybe they still have it handy and present him with it, and he keeps it within slave 1 or his home as decoration. it would only disturb you when batteling.

Info on Mandalorian capital ships are also few pages back in this topic, mainly described from the Insider Article by Abel. Stats of rpg stuff are none known. Those who come close and are known are the rendili dreadnaughts who are built "after mandalorian designs" as the republic comics told, and the slave ships, the empire used for keeping Jedi imprisioned, seen in Dark empire and further detailed in the dark empire sourcebook. If you want those stats, they might be posted, though we never saw Mandos using these, they were referenced to have a mandalorian origin.

Hope this helps ya?

Would that be solid Mandalorian iron armour or the duraplast type?

That said, what sort of resistance does the armour have to lightsaber blades?

that would be a mix of mandalorian Iron and duraplast. As I stated in a theory few pages back: Mandalorian Iron was used for the armour, aswell as duraplast. A mix of both became the final armour shell, making it stronger than normal armour. mandalorian Iron only armour would be too heavy to wear in combat. the Kotor armour as well as the supercommando armour looks like duraplast, but is said to have mandalorian Iron in it,so I assumed these elements were mixed. the mandalorian iron only armour shell was worn by the crusaders and the taung only, I think, because this reptiloid species was stronger than the humans later on, who empowered themselves partially with drugs and stims to be stronger than the average person.

Against a lightsaber, a mandalorian armour is not resistent, I fear. Mandalorians built their armour themselves, as the NEGtW&T stated. So someone might have included lightsaberresistent cortosis ore into the mix, though I doubt that. No Mandalorian was seen with cortosis armour. The mandalorian Iron is tougher to cut with a lightsaber than normal armour, but that doesn´t keep the jedi from getting through fast enough for the kill. Remember that, if my theory is true and the armour was made of a mix of mandalorian iron and duraplast, to make the amour lighter to wear, a lightsaber can cut through it faster than through mandalorian iron only armour. Somewhere in the dark empire sourcebook, I believe, it was stated that mandalorian iron, used for the slave ships to capture jedi, was able to withstand lightsabers for a long time (not forever), or even affected the force useing within mandalorian iron walls. (have to check that part).

After all, the Mandalorians were known for their abilities. Their way of fighting let them win, not their armour though it was top. That is why so many imposters who stole/found Mandalorian armour failed and were killed. (see Jodo Kast). Mandalorians fought honorful and didn´t cowardly hide behind a thick armour, they only used what was needed as armour to improve their way of warfare.

I totally agree with you in this point, Ceiran. It's a warrior's heart what makes him a warrior, not his shell...
And that's imo the point, why the Mandos nearly died after Canderous' failure in reuniting the clans - only together they were strong (remember Vode An), not spread throughout the galaxy as "scum".
