Daily Topic: Mandalore and Mandalorians

Image
One of my personal favorite planets in the Star Wars universe is Mandalore. Mandalore is a planet in the outer rim territories. The inhabitants that live there are Mandalorians. I will give you a guide through the planet, the people, the way of life, and the concepts and traditions. Mandalore First off I will talk to you about the features of the planet itself. Mandalore itself is a moon with white, hot, deserts with a breathable atmosphere. However due to the intense climate, living on the bare surface is impossible. In order to rectify this problem, mandalorians built bio-domes that made an enclosed area of the planet hospitable and truly magnificent.  One of the Bio-Domes that contains the capital of mandalore The cities of Mandalore are a sight to behold and are truly beautiful and magnificent. Many of the structures actually resemble more of a glass like version of New York City in my opinion.  A park in Mandalore, Serene and Beautiful Mandalore c...

Cross guard lightsabers

In the Force Awakens, everyone got introduced to the new villain, Kylo Ren, whose lightsaber made him unique. What if I were to tell you it wasn't and in was in fact part of a battle on the planet Malachor. The cross guard lightsaber was originally created during a battle called the Scourge of Malachor in which Jedi and Sith both fought with the verge of a super weapon being unleashed. The cross guard lightsaber had to have a cracked kyber crystal in order for the lightsaber to actually work. The way this works is that the cracked kyber crystal needs to vent excess energy, so in order to do so, vents are created on the side which give this lightsaber a more traditional sword look. See the venting of the energy near the crystal There have been only 2 cross guard lightsabers show in star wars canon. One of them was found on the planet Malachor by Ezra Bridger, the blade lasted for about 5 seconds before sputtering out. So thats all for cross guard lightsabers, May the ...

Nexuses of The Force

Image
In the Star Wars universe, there are a select few planets in which the Force is very strong in. Many of these planets are places where either the light or dark side strongly resides in. Here are a few of the nexuses that I know of. Mortis I already covered this location in my Force Wielders post, but I didn't go over the location itself. When 3 Jedi visited the location (see Force wielders for the specific jedi) one of them asked another if they could sense how strong the force was in Mortis and how much stronger it is in mortis than in anywhere else. This is understandable as it was the home of the 3 Force Wielders.  Dagobah Dagobah, one of the major planets in the original Star Wars trilogy is another planet that is strong in the force. This is one of the main reasons why it is so easy for force ghosts like Ben and Qui-gon. This is also why Yoda chose to stay here during his exile due to it's strong connection to the Force. There is a cave in Dagobah in which th...
