i accept this sword for my sister
for my clan and for all of mandalore
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down
our picks for the top 10 mandalorians
our strength was once in our numbers
now we live in the shadows and only come
above ground one at a time
for generations my ancestors fought
proudly as warriors against the jedi
now that woman tarnishes the very name
mandalorian
what do you think you're doing what does
it look like art
for this list we'll be looking at the
coolest most iconic and important
mandalorians from both the star wars
canon
and legends who's your favorite
mandalorian
let us know in the comments below number
10
bokutan crees so you remember me
don't worry deathwatch is gone a leader
warrior and morally complex character
bokeh 10 is everything you want from a
mandalorian no
outsider will ever rule mandalore first
introduced in star wars the clone wars
the character was originally a member of
the terrorist organization death watch
at this point in the history of
mandalore theirs was becoming a pacifist
society but a substantial and proactive
faction of mandalorians wanted to return
to their warrior roots
bokoten was among them though this leads
the character to embrace some
regrettable tactics and allies
bogatan's honorable nature wins out in
the end over the course of the clone
wars and rebels
she's proven herself to be a good friend
and leader i accept this sword for my
sister
for my clan and for all of mandalore
in 2020 bokutan made the jump to live
action in the mandalorian
i am bocatan of clan crees
i was born on mandalore and fought in
the perch i am the last of my line
and you are a child of the watch number
nine
duchess sateen crees some siblings are
like two peas in a pod
in the case of bokutan and sateen
however these sisters couldn't be more
different
duchess satine when first introduced
caught many star wars fans off guard
her peaceful version of mandalore was a
far cry from the warrior civilization
we'd been reading about for years
she doesn't wear a helmet and might not
even be recognized as a mandalorian
until she identifies herself as such but
it's all the ways in which she deviates
from the mandalorian archetype that
makes her stand out
not everyone on mandalore believes that
our commitment to peace is a sign of
progress
sateen is a strong-willed and
influential politician with a grand
vision for her people
her storyline is sadly a tragic one but
there's no denying her influence on star
wars history
remember my dear will be one
i've loved you always
i always will
number eight gar saxon it's been a while
since we had a fight like this
are you ready while there are many
mandalorians on our list today who fit
the description of hero or
anti-hero we're considering characters
from all across the ethical spectrum
gar saxon was a member of death watch
unlike bokutan however
redemption was never really in the cards
for him he was staunchly supportive of
darth maul and would later serve
palpatine
becoming mandalore's imperial viceroy
and governor
i am gar saxon imperial viceroy of
mandalore
and you rebel are now my prisoner
while saxon isn't going to win any
popularity contests he's a perfect
representation of the single-mindedness
common in mandalorians
a warrior through and through he might
not be a figure to admire but he earns
his place on this list for his brutality
leadership and seriously cool set of
armor
number seven pre-vizsla like bogotan and
gar saxon
previzula was not content with the way
of life established by the new
mandalorians
for generations my ancestors fought
proudly as warriors against the jedi
now that woman tarnishes the very name
mandalorian
as the leader of death watch he set out
to return his people to their warrior
roots
after having his efforts thwarted on
numerous occasions however he turned to
darth maul for assistance
perhaps fortune brought us together
it is the will of the force we can
help you reclaim mandalore mandalorians
are often cited as among the few
non-force-wielding groups that can hold
their own against the jedi
prie vizla certainly lives up to that
reputation when he inevitably came to
blows with darth maul pre-vizla
showcased incredible skill and a unique
fighting style worthy of his people
plus considering he's not force
sensitive you've gotta admit that he's
pretty handy with a lightsaber
[Music]
number six tarvisla there's not a whole
lot that we can know with certainty
about tar vizsla
but like many of the franchise's most
compelling characters
the mystery is part of this
mandalorian's appeal legend tells that
it was created over a thousand years ago
by tar vizsla
the first mandalorian ever inducted into
the jedi order as the story goes
tarvisla was the first mandalorian to
become a jedi consider how formidable
mandalorians are on the battlefield
okay now add force sensitivity and jedi
training on top of all of those
mandalorian
skills what you get is a warrior legend
well
you were just a baby so you couldn't
come but father brought me here to see
the statue of tarvisla
the ancient mandalorian ruler tarvisla's
lightsaber the dark saber is totally
unique and following tara's ascendancy
as the ruler of mandalore the darksaber
has been considered a symbol of
leadership amongst the mandalorian
people
we can only hope that we one day get to
see this legendary mandalorian jedi in
action
number five candaris ordo also known as
mandalore the preserver
my name is kanderas ordo i work for
david kang in the exchange
the hours aren't great but they promised
me a fortune to work for them
and i have nothing better to do another
mandalorian from a bygone era
candarus ordo fought in the mandalorian
wars which spanned
16 years from 3976 bby
to 3960 bby while his name might not
mean much to those who've only watched
the movies and tv shows ordo is well
known to those who played the knights of
the old republic video games
normally i do this myself but everyone
knows who i work for
also known as mandalore the preserver
candaris ordo distinguished himself in
combat during the mandalorian wars
though he and his fellow neo-crusaders
were ultimately defeated by revan
he and the legendary jedi sith later
became
allies and friends at revan's
encouragement
ordo would go on to unite the
mandalorians anew and become one of the
greatest leaders in the history of their
civilization
we've got what we came for we should get
going number four
sabine wren sabine wren is cut from a
different cloth
while mandalorians tend to be a stoic
impersonal bunch
sabine is very much an individual and
she doesn't shy away from her feelings
that might be the mandalorian way but
it's not my way
not anymore she's an artist and warrior
which makes for an
oddly compelling combination what do you
think you're doing
what does it look like art sabine's
artistry and willingness to push back
against the status quo
makes her an inspiration to many
thankfully she's also got the combat
skills to back it up
[Music]
honestly it's hard to imagine the crew
of the ghost having made it through so
many scrapes without her
sabine wren might not be very good at
following orders but over time she
evolved into a natural leader
she would go on to play a pivotal role
in the liberation of lothal
number three mandalore the ultimate
welcome
to the battle of malachor 5 reverend
we meet at last mandalore is the ruler
of the mandalorian people and planet
mandalore
a bit confusing we know mandalore being
an honorific title however
each ruler adds a descriptor to
distinguish themselves from mandalore's
past and future
these titles in general tend to be
pretty self-aggrandizing but as one of
the greatest mandalores in history
mandalore the ultimate actually lives up
to the name mandalore the ultimate
sought to create the most powerful
army in the galaxy to achieve this
he had to defeat the republic and its
jedi protectors
this fearsome ruler led his people
during the mandalorian wars
he ultimately fell at the hands of revan
but what mandalore the ultimate
accomplished up to that point was
staggering
revan single-handedly slew mandalore he
then activated a super weapon which
destroyed an entire planet
and everyone on it his conquests were
far-reaching and revitalized the
mandalorian people
encouraging them to fully embrace their
warrior heritage while also redefining
what it meant to be a mandalorian
number two boba fett we know we know
this character's status as a mandalorian
is contentious
and the same goes for his father jango
fett i recently encountered a man who
wore mandalorian armor
django fat jango fett was a common
bounty hunter
how he acquired that armor is beyond me
it's been claimed that they were in fact
just bounty hunters in mandalorian armor
part of the confusion however stems from
the fact that boba fett was introduced
before the mandalorians it was his
design and popularity that led to the
creation of this warrior civilization
and the rest as they say
is galactic history what if he doesn't
survive
he's worth a lot to me with his
incredible skill and no-nonsense
approach
boba fett has distinguished himself as
one of the most legendary bounty hunters
in the trade
though he was long thought to have died
in the sarlacc pit his story isn't over

number 1. dinjarin
boba fett may have been the inspiration
behind the mandalorians as a people but
din jaren has brought them to the
forefront of pop culture
the titular character of the very first
live-action star wars series
jaren has pushed the franchise in bold
new directions to spectacular results
and thanks to this serialized approach
we've really gotten to know and love
this helmeted hero
he's got the skills we've come to expect
from his people and takes great pride in
following the mandalorian creed
take it off
or i will crafted in the mold of classic
western stars he's a stoic protector
but underneath that besker armor beats a
heart of gold
din jarren is the mandalorian we've long
been dreaming of and we can't wait to
see what the future holds for him
