Pretty good you guys. Now you have to name all the planets represented in the Star Wars universe!

you want thire correct names or can i jsut go nuts?

You guys are awsome. It would take me a week to look all this up. I am amazed at the number of races represented within the minis.

A couple more questions if you don't mind:

Republic clones would be represented as Mandalorian I assume, but would storm troopers best be represented as human, mandalorian or too mixed to characterize? (I know that at some poin others races were allowed).

Last question, are there any non-human rebels worth there plastic or was the Emporer right?

Dantooine Base has a pretty good list:

Ok, so on the whole the Mandos were, as qvos pointed out, a "peace loving people". Well, they were people at least, most of them were humans (whic is their race)! But we also know that many beings of other species or races also joined the Mandos, because it was a culture. So Mandalorian is a culture or a nationality rather than a race.

The interesting bit comes however, when you ask someone where they are from or what they are, and this is true in the real world as well. You ask Mandalore the Ultimate what he is and he will not say human, he will say Mando!

Likewise, if someone asks me what I am, I say English as opposed to caucasian, which I would never use to describe myself. Some people would use their race as opposed to their nationality to describe themselves however.

Now, in the Star Wars universe, I think the main reason we get Mandos, Corellians, Alderaanians and other "races" is that there are so many humans there needs to be some way to distinguish them. It is just the same as here at home. We have different races amongst the human race so why wouldn't they, especially when the humans are divided by planets! The reason they get lumped into planet sized races is because it would be too difficult for aliens to distingiush them at a planet level (say different human races on different parts of Coruscant).

Now, the Mando nationality could also therefore be termed a race, but I think for the sake of argument it would be an exception, because it does appear (from the Legacy books) to be a race made up of different races. The Star Wars melting pot of killers and warriors so to speak.

The question posed is would clones be deemed Mandos? I think the answer has to be no because they were not exposed to the Mando culture, and it is the embracing of the Mando culture that allows one to become a Mando by race lol.

So, the short answer is, because of their lack of Mando culture, I think the clones were "merely" humans, although it was possible for clones to adopt the Mando way and enter the fold as it were.

@Dimetrodon - debate started! ;)

OK, I'll chime in.
First, clones. In general, no, clones are not "Mandalorian." However, if you read the Republic Commando books, you will see that certain clones, RCs and ARCs, were exposed to Mando tradition and culture and by the time of Order 66 many did become Mandalorian, so to speak. You will also see some clones who were trained by non-Mandalorians, specifically there was a Corellian training sergeant who exposed his trainees to his own culture. Those clones accepted and followed Corellians traditions and burial practices etc. Did they become Corellian...? Interesting question. Probably not, as Corellians would probably not accept them as such.... while Mandalorians would. The culture is the difference. Mandalorians willingly accept a variety of people into their ranks, provided those people follow the tenets of Mando culture...the Resol'nare.

Species.... Remember that the original Mandaloians were Taung... Mandalore was the name of their leader. Afterwards, Mandalorians were known to accept individuals of any race into their ranks, especially during the Mandalorians and Sith Wars it would seem, but the tradition continued through the Clones Wars. Check Republic Commando novels and Wookieepedia.

Incidentally Mandalore the Ultimate was Taung, not human.

Peace-loving Mandos... Retcon has placed these people on Mandalore (the planet) and in a single city. It has not removed the canon of Mandalore the Resurrector's movement, Fenn Shysa as Mandlore, the canon culture represented in the Traviss books, nor the rise Boba Fett as Mandalore (which continues to be developed after the cartoon's release)...

So what I think, and what is supported by canon in general, is that Satine's movement is only a single political faction within a broad Mandalorian society. Previous canon supports the idea that Mandalorian are often divided... and they are in the cartoon as well... there are the Death Watch (the Vizslas), the True Mandalorians (Jaster, Jango, Shysa, Boba) and New Mandalorians (Satine's faction). The fact that NJO/Legacy era Mandos are led by Fett seems to indicate that Satine's faction was relatively short-lived.

my two cents
