History Characters / StarWarsMandalorians

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mandalorians are a ProudWarriorRace, who wear high-tech armor, wield a ridiculously wide-range of both meele and ranged weapons. Jedi are {{Kung Fu Wizard}}s, wielding {{Laser Blade}}s and using the Force. Tarre belonged to both factions at once.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Don't mistake her role as blacksmith and HighPriest as meaning she's some kind of pacifistic old monk who teaches but never fights. She's still a Mandalorian through and through, and when five hapless stormtroopers make the mistake of trying to detain her, she proceeds to effortlessly and brutally kill them all [[ImprovisedWeapon with a set of hammer and tongs]], even hitting two of them hard enough to punch clean through their armor.

* OneManArmy: He's capable of taking on a squad of Stormtroopers and still being the last one standing. It takes [[spoiler:three Praetorian Guards fighting him after he’s already worn himself to exhaustion to finally bring him down.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A bunch of blonde-haired, white-skinned soldiers seizing control of a demilitarized society with a very martial history, while promising to restore order through the reintroduction of a warrior ethos in pursuit of a supposed destiny as imperial conquerors? [[ThoseWackyNazis What does that remind]] ''[[ThoseWackyNazis you]]'' [[ThoseWackyNazis of?]]

* AncestralWeapon: Although Mandalorian armors are apparently reforged by every new wearer, they're still considered the same set, and their historical and cultural significance is great enough that Mandalorians would rather risk death by a weapon designed specifically against it, than use other armors.

->See her entry on the [[Characters/StarWarsCrewOfTheGhost Crew of the]] ''[[Characters/StarWarsCrewOfTheGhost Ghost]]'' page.

* OffModel: In ''Son of Dathomir'', her hair is black and her armor is burgundy, but later, she's a brunette and her armor is red like the others in Shadow Collective. ''The Clone Wars'' Season 7 would establish the former as her official look.

* AmbiguousSituation: Sabine recognized his red armour, but had to be told who he was by Rau, and it is implied later by Ursa that Saxon was instated as Governor while Sabine was gone. This suggests that Saxon becoming public again and gaining his position were recent developments.

** Of [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Fenn Shysa]], both being Scottish-themed blond Clone Wars veterans and leaders of a "friendly" clan of Mandalorians who join the Rebellion. WordOfGod is that this is intentional and they just changed his last name.

* DefrostingIceKing: After the TimeSkip. From what is seen in the initial Season 3 trailer, Ezra and Sabine have gotten on his nicer side after dealing with the Imperial Super Commandos. He even admits to Sabine that she's earned his respect, and WordOfGod is that he becomes her mentor the way Rex is to Ezra.

* WouldHurtAChild[=/=]WouldHitAGirl: Is willing to kill Sabine and Ezra before his HeelFaceTurn.

* TheFaceless: Despite his role as a rather somewhat major character in his debut episode, he doesn't take his helmet off. Though since his animation model is similar to Gar Saxon and Tristan in that they have exposed necks unlike incidental characters, it's possible that we may see him without his helmet in the future.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Sabine and Bo-Katan leave him to die to the Duchess. Since we see molten metal pouring down from where he was, it's not likely he survived.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E10ThePhantomApprentice The Phantom Apprentice]]", she's seen getting into physical combat with Bo-Katan and losing, but unlike Saxon, we don't see her getting arrested. At the beginning of the following episode, "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E11Shattered Shattered]]", we see Saxon getting led away, but Kast is nowhere to be seen. It seems likely that she would have been captured alongside the rest of Maul's surviving forces, but we don't see for certain either way. Unlike Saxon, she also hasn't made any further appearances afterward, leaving her ultimate fate uncertain.

*** And then it turns out that Ursa ''did'' want to look for Sabine, but ultimately chose not to because then the Empire would become aware that Clan Wren still loves Sabine and could thus use the Wrens as a hostage to bring Sabine back home, as well as inadvertently helping the Imperials find Sabine if the clan does.
* [[AncestralWeapon Ancestral Armour]]: According to the ''Official Fact File'', Sabine's helmet was inherited. It would appear that it was originally her mother's, back from her days as a Death Watch soldier. It also states that Sabine didn't paint it until Season 2, meaning that it was already burgundy (WordOfGod says it's [[InsistentTerminology not pink, but burgundy]]) when she received it.

* GoodReasonForParentalAbandonment: Inverted. She allied the clan with the Empire for an unknown reason, though one could be to find Sabine. Though we don't know if it was inverted regarding Sabine running away, as we don't know what her reaction to that was. She ''also'' apparently was not with Sabine and Tristan when Maul took over Mandalore, [[HonorBeforeReason choosing her duty to Death Watch over taking care of her infant daughter and young son]].

*** Then double subverted in that Ursa and the Wrens didn't search for Sabine due to the Mandalorians being closely monitored by the Empire, so there wasn't much they could do without getting anyone in deeper trouble. Though they did seem to still disown her, they didn't seem to anticipate her running away from home.

* IHaveNoDaughter: Sabine seems to believe this is what her family thinks of her. By [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E14LegacyOfMandalore "Legacy of Mandalore"]], this proves to be true. The fact that she only stood down at the sight of the Darksaber shows she doesn't treat Sabine like a daughter.
** Subtly, she does seem a bit hesitant when she orders the clan to arrest Sabine. Later in the episode, it turns out that she didn't ''want'' to abandon Sabine, but considering the circumstances, she believed it was the best way to protect her from the Empire so that the Imperials don't tag along on a hypothetical search party or something worse like a hostage situation.

* RedHerring: Before the airing of "Legacy of Mandalore", it was commonly speculated and heavily implied that she was Sabine's mother, due to their helmets with eye decals (something that would later be {{retcon}}ned by ''The Clone Wars'' Season 7), the artstyle of ''Son of Dathomir'' giving Kast vaguely Asian features, both women's relationships to Death Watch, and similar appearance to Sabine (as [[invoked]]WordOfGod established that Sabine's armor was deliberately modeled after Rook's). Gar Saxon's appearance on the show further helped with this line of speculation. However, the episode would establish that Rook Kast and Sabine's mother are different characters, the latter of whom is named Ursa Wren.

At the beginning of the following episode, "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E11Shattered Shattered]]", we see Saxon getting led away, but Kast is nowhere to be seen.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't with Bo-Katan and Koska when Din and Boba find them in the Season 2 finale. Presumably, he was off on another mission, as he returns in season three now leading the Nite Owls after Bo-Katan's failure to gain the Darksaber.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E10ThePhantomApprentice The Phantom Apprentice]]", she's seen getting into physical combat with Bo-Katan and losing, but unlike Saxon, we don't see her getting arrested. At the beginning of the following episode, "Shattered", we see Saxon getting led away, but Kast is nowhere to be seen.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Or rather, ''where'' was the mouse during the Clone Wars, particularly during the Mandalorian conflict? As Skull Squadron appears to be a squadron of Protectors, it's possible that the Protectors recognized the New Mandalorian rule on the homeworld as legitimate and respected it by leaving Mandalore for Concord Dawn to continue their practice as warriors.
** WordOfGod explained that the Protectors were present in the form of the Mandalorian Police and the Royal Guard. Though considering [[PoliceAreUseless how useless these subgroups would've been in an outright civil war without a definite leader]], [[KnowWhenToFoldEm they either pulled out and got the Supercommandos of the group to come instead]] (which still doesn't answer where the Protector Supercommandos were) or [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere dispersed in the chaos]].

* ActionGirl: In Season 3, Koska goes with a Mandalorian search party to secure Mandalore's surface. She takes out several Dark Troopers with close ups of her blaster shots or with her knife.

** This is further shown in ''The Pirate'' as when they are put under the command of Bo-Katan, who has actual experience as a military leadership. Despite being outnumbered 10-1 by the pirates, Bo-katan's soldier-like manor allowed them to triumph with minimal casualties.

* TheFaceless: His face has not been seen on camera due to his strict adherence to the clan's rule about removing one's helmet. His Black Series action figure does come with a removeable helmet and depicts him with Jon Favreau's face.

* OneManArmy: He's capable of taking on a squad of Stormtroopers and still being the last one standing.

%%* CharacterDeath: He is killed by Anakin.
