The Mandalorians were once the most mysterious group in the Star Wars canon, limited only to a line in The Empire Strikes Back audiobook about a group of people who were defeated during The Clone Wars. Flash forward to today, and the Mandalorians are one of the groups we know the best, especially thanks to The Mandalorian and The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The mercenaries of the galaxy, the Mandalorians, are a warrior race who have been present since ancient history. Their story in the non-canon Legends timeline is long and varied, and involves mystical masks, plenty of internal conflicts, and poorly-aged video game graphics. But it does make you wonder what The Mandalorian and Grogu could have been if it had embraced its own history.
