In-joke to Fifth Element? Mandalorian/Mangalore?
Hmm, that caught my eye - the similarity of "Mandalorian" in Star Wars and "Mangalore" from Fifth Element? Does anyone know if Lucas (or whoever) was intentionally making a nod to film? Jimw338 (talk) 15:17, February 3, 2017 (UTC)
- The term "Mandalorian" originated in the novelization of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back (April 12, 1980), which is many years before The Fifth Element was released. --Lelal Mekha

Mandalorian Race?
In the new canon are the Mandalorians only human? —Unsigned comment by 66.229.216.15 (talk • contribs)
- No. https://twitter.com/missingwords/status/847172960775315456
- "The Mandalore system encompasses a lot of worlds so it's probably not a safe assumption that ALL "Mandalorians" are human." - Matt Martin, Lucasfilm Storygroup. —Unsigned comment by KainrykKarr (talk • contribs)
- However, the majority of Mandalorian warriors, which are arguably the most well known and recognizable Mandalorian group, are primarily human due to their customs (including armor), and history, as Mandalorian warrior society was founded by Mandalore the First, a human(oid).—Unsigned comment by 97.121.169.232 (talk • contribs)

Friends Like These
As I was searching through Star Wars: Friends Like These, I found a lot of Canon source materials in it. So in this case, should we then start adding info from it to here?

Sheer Fecklessness
Rambling scree of little value. This is poorly written: many words conveying not much. It is repetitious repeating itself saying the same things repeatedly in repetition. Shame on you Fecklesshighlighted (talk) 19:48, November 28, 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry you feel that way, any chance you could give some specifics? You're more than welcome to help improve the page if you think it needs it --Lewisr (talk) 19:57, November 28, 2019 (UTC)

Human
Chapter 8 of Star Wars: The Mandalorian clearly states that Mandalorians are not a race, which is proven when they accept the Child into one of their newly-formed clans as a foundling, so I believe we should remove any wording in this article that suggest they are a "distinct human" people. Thoughts? GokūBlack10 (Talk) 21:51, December 28, 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, its made pretty clear that Mandalorians are a culture or creed as the Mando put it rather than a race of humans --Lewisr (talk) 21:58, December 28, 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, "Mandalorian isn't a race" - Cara Dune, "It's a Creed" - Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian 81.101.62.22 05:14, December 30, 2019 (UTC)

Religion vs Organization
I suggest to keep it separate like Legends has Mandalorian religion as separate article. Why it was changed to Template:Religion? --Goodmind (talk) 00:32, January 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Example: New Mandalorians are still Mandalorians, but they don't treat Darksaber as artifact --Goodmind (talk) 00:37, January 5, 2020 (UTC)
Mandalorian Civil Wars
In the section on pacifism, we talk about the about big civil war that ended with Satine winning and the Mandalorian society transitioning to pacifism. Then in the next paragraph it talks about a different set of civil wars "the Mandalorian Civil Wars took place, in which the Mandalorian commando and foundling Jango Fett participated" that occurred before 32BBY. Surely this is just the main Mandalorian Civil War that transitioned them into Pacifism. Not a different civil war entirely. Why are they classed as different things when its obviously the same civil war. Hotgreencarpet (talk) 02:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Nothing has linked Jango to that civil war yet in canon. There were two different ones in Legends as well (Great Clan Wars and Mandalorian Civil War (True Mandalorians), so I don't see why the same can't be true in canon Lewisr (talk) 02:47, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Nothing in canon suggests there are two different wars. The logical assumption is that they’re the same war. Theres nothing to imply they should be considered separate events. It is a far greater leap of judgement for Jango's civil war and Satine's to be different events. Additionally, whilst in legends yes there were two civil wars, this was ultimately down to differing creative decisions between George Lucas/Dave Filoni and Jango Fett: Open Seasons creators. Those events, when told, make very little sense and do not fit together. That's more an example of a soft-retcon. Hotgreencarpet (talk) 02:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
