    I loved listening to Canderous Ordo tell me tales of the battles he won atop these weapons. I was proud when he became Mandalore.

    These War Droids seem to be very rare in the modern age of the SW galaxy.

      Mate I asked the same question! I was like WTF when did that happen in TFU?! But know you say it was in those versions, I've only played the PC Ultimate Sith Edition and the PSP one too, but wow I didn't know there were different

    I just finished the "Path of Destruction" novel which I sought out on your recommendation, and I really enjoyed it.
    Bane is a great character, I liked him more before he got wrapped up in the Sith business but I was rooting for him all the way through, despite some casual atrocities committed along the way lol.
    The scene at the sabaak table was probably my favourite, plus his time as a soldier and his dealings with the feme fatale (forgot her name) and all the proper explainations of how the dark side actually works.
    So thanks for bringing it to my attention, really good stuff chief.

    Good video, thanks. Basilisks made an appearance in relatively recent SWTOR update (7.2) and it's stated that the storyline related to them will continue. Hope we'll see more of them in the future

    I'd love to see a video on flame night and the grey paladins. I am almost done with the coruscant knights series and it's amazing. The force sensitive droid was a bit of a stretch but I enjoyed his relationship with the rest of the team.
    I love any kind of family dynamics and I think star wars is at its best with those tales.

    I’ve noticed that everything on your Captain Fordo channel before 2017 is gone, was this on purpose or were they taken down by TH-cam?
    Would you consider reuploading them (on another website if necessary) as I remember enjoying them & would like to rewatch them.

      Due to copyrighted music (how dare 15 year old me put star wars music in a star wars video), the sound was struck from all of those lego stop motions and since no one could hear them anyway, I took them down. I started rescoring them but only got as far as ARC Troopers Part 1 which you can view here th-cam.com/video/kvOF1AE_VlQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=j7oFdblJxdh0qak2

      It was made by a mandalorian jedi so it's both a jedi weapon and a mando weapon, heck it even has beskar in it. just clearing things up about it I am glad it's destroyed so it's curse is gone forever.

      @terminatorofbaal7853 you have a lot more of the EU and of my channel to check out if you think he's doing a good job then lol. All of his portrayals of cherrypicked EU elements are subpar at best and pale in comparison to their EU origins. See Dathomir Witches, Mandalorians in general for reference

    Are you planning to cover Supernatural Encounters since Wookieepedia screwed us over?

    • @Manda-LORE
      @Manda-LORE  ปีที่แล้ว

      In my Waru video, I did use information from the earlier edition of supernatural encounters. Because supernatural encounters itself isn't technically canon to the EU since it was published without Lucasfilm approval and years after the EU was decononized and relegated to "legends", Tadd would and will present the information as Arhul Hextraphon's own theories and up for debate by galactic scholars if his findings ever truely happened at all. Especially with this new edition, as, I've heard there were some surprisingly outlandish things that kind of dissapointed me but I will hold my full judgment until I read the new edition in it's entirety.

  • @ortoacademy1019
    @ortoacademy1019 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Strange that no Mandalorians tried to build new basilisk war droids in the 1000 years leading up to the formation of the Galactic Empire. The conditions of defeat and Republic sanctions were over 2000 years old by that point. Even if they didn't have original salvage to work with, a modern replica would still be possible to construct. Seems odd there was never interest in reviving one of the most iconic weapons from their cultural history

    • @Manda-LORE
      @Manda-LORE  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Of course I couldn't find anything official on this but I postulate that the Basilisks had been out of their arsenal for so long that they learned to fight without them and adapt other technologies. I do think Chopa'a Notimo custom built his basilisk and outfitted it with modern weaponry, rather than finding an old one and upgrading it.
