The History Of Mandalorian Armor Fully Explained

You might not guess it from the silhouette, but a Mandalorian's armor is as unique as their fingerprints. Handed down through generations, the distinctive armor is a defining trait of the Mandalorian people and their culture. This is the history of Mandalorian armor explained.

The Mandalorians are a nomadic people, but they're not a species. Anyone can be a Mandalorian if they practice the tenets of their faith. Before The Mandalorian, Boba Fett was one of the most well-known Mandalorians in the Star Wars universe, but although he wore Mandalorian armor, he didn't really grow up in the culture and therefore is not a true Mandalorian.

Because Mandalorians are a warlike people who often act as mercenaries, wearing armor is one of the Six Actions central to their identity, according to Star Wars novelist Karen Traviss. The other five are speaking the Mandalorian language, contributing to the welfare of their clan, defending themselves and their families, raising their children as Mandalorians, and rallying around the sole leader of their people, the Mand'alor, when asked.

Yet even though their armor is a central part of their culture, Mandalorians like reminding each other that what's inside matters most. "A warrior is more than his armor" is one popular Mandalorian saying.
