Mandalorian Armor should have 80% LS resist...Do you know why? No..? I'll explain...Long ago when the SITH were fighting they used the Mandalorians as foot soldiers...Do you know why...? Because of their armor. Light Sabers could barely penetrate it...and ontop of that they had to find a weakspot within the armor and continue to hit it....Oh...and here comes the icing of the cake....Force powers had absolutely not effect upon it...HAVE A NICE DAAAY!!
Your wrong buddy. Completely wrong. Your just making stuff up. And here comes the real blow to you: prove ONE thing your saying is true. No, not with some supershadow.com, with a real starwars site. Give us ANYTHING from starwars.com that verifies what your saying about mando armor. Guess what? You wont find anything, because its not resistant to lightsaber. If it were, the Sith would have taken the technology and put their own troops in that armor. The reason the Sith allied with the Mandos is because Revan defeated the current Mandalore, and the Mandalore swore their service to the Sith. The reason the Mandos were so effective? They werea heavily trained, well equipted, warrior society. Alot of what your talking about is dicussed in KOTOR. I'm not sure if you actualy PLAYED the game, but there are two different sets of Mando armor you can get in the game, and NEITHER of them protect your from LS damage. Its really disturbing to see you spreading this kind of misinformation.
Your last comment about force powers not having any effect upon the armor? Lie. If I'm wrong, show us where your info came from, and once again, from an OFFICIAL star wars site, not a fan one that you created to support your own statements.

Oh and on second note for you people who say " Well then why were the Mandalorians wiped out..?" Easy....because of the DeathWatch....Montross had set them up from the start...and both sides were taking heavy loses. When the Jedi arrived the Mandalorian numbers were like downed to 30 percent because of the Deathwatch...and ontop of that they were all exhausted and tired as hell....so it wasn't that hard to clean up the remains....but the Mandalorians DID destroy most of the DeathWatch.
Your wrong AGAIN. Read Open Seasons again. In the battle that the Jedi task force came and destroyed the Mandalorians(on the ice planet), the Death Watch DIDNT EVEN FIGHT with the Mandalorians, that was the previous battle, and years before. The Mandalorians that fought the Jedi on the ice planet had been under Jango's leadership for the past x-years. The Death Watch were involved in calling the Jedi to come attack the Mandalorians, but there was no losses on the Mandalorian side before the Jedi arrived on that planet as you are saying in your above comments. You have your facts all kind of jumbled. You'll notice ONE Manalorian that is decapitated during that fight. But look at all the Mandalorian bodies on the ground after its over that are intact. If they are intact it means they were killed by lightsabers through their armor, not at a weak spot like the kneck or stomach which causes them to be decapitated.

Mandalore itself is a temperate, albeit desolate, world located in a rather overlooked and inconspicuous area at the edge of the Inner Rim. Making a living upon its surface took on a battle of survival, and thus, the Mandalorians know no other way of succession. Most importantly, however, is the metal that is only found on this planet to date. It is called Mandametal, and is the only known metallic substance that can resist the focused energy output of a weapon such as a lightsaber. Indeed, it takes an enormous amount of power to punch a hole through it, and the armor that nearly every Mandalorian began wearing is comprised of it. For their own single combat engagements, blasters and other firearms were forbidden; they were useless anyway. It came down to either finding a seam or soft spot in the armor and stabbing, or bludgeoning the opponent to submission or death. In addition, the metal is so dense that it actually can blunt a Force impression through it. No Jedi, Sith, or other Force user can project or receive thoughts through its mass. This was, through hundreds of years of use, unknown to the Mandalorians, but was discovered by the Sith.
During the Clone Wars, the Mandalorians were employed as assassins by the Sith in their action to eradicate the Jedi, since the Mandalorians, inside their personal body armor, were impervious and uncorruptable. Jedi were subdued and placed aboard barges lined with Mandametal, to be towed out into empty space and dispatched - their true fates are not recorded.
Third off; KOTORS Mandalorians and the ones talked about above ARE TWO DIFFIRENT THINGS COMPLETELY.
Fourth off; You've just got pwned...Have a nice day.

First off, http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=11-585BUY IT.
Second off, Human in all aspects except culture and attitude, the Mandalorians are truly a rare breed. Descended from survivors of a transport crash some 10,000 years ago, they have adapted to their spartan environment and become a rigid, militaristic society of clans and stratified castes. General appearance of a Mandalorian is like any other human; perhaps a bit more stocky and weathered-looking. Not much in the way of physical variation exists either. However, it is not the simple appearance of a Mandalore alone that has engrained itself into Galactic records... it is the armor.

What does that link to Open Seasons prove? I already addressed that story. I already own it, and you jumbled up all kinds of facts from it. Secondly, ALL that info you just provided about the Mandalorians comes from where? An official star wars site? I know it doesnt, but go ahead and try to find a link anyway. None of that info is true. There is NO official info on Mandalorians that says their armor is LS resistant. Your simply lying by saying it is. Please, provide us with an official link verifying your story. You pwn YOURSELF everytime you post another another post with your lies, as you keep digging your own whole deeper and deeper.

I have the trade paperback(which collects all four of the Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics) and you didnt get that info from that book, its not there. If it is, why dont you tell me which of the 3 comics it is, and what part of the story?
