Why do fans like costuming as a Mandalorian, as opposed to other characters? Though depicted as a villain, the highly-trained mercenary has gained a big amount of popularity.Īpart from the Mandalorians’ mysterious identity, the Mandalorian costume and armor are also a fan favorite topic. So while Boba Fett isn't actually a Mandalorian, he is responsible for expanding their reputation in the galaxy. The heavily-armored bounty hunter who aims to capture Han Solo is associated with the species because of his iconic Mandalorian armor. Mandalorian culture has its beginnings in the original Star Wars trilogy with Boba Fett.
Apart from that, the Mandalorians have a strong presence in other forms of media, like cartoons, books, and video games. That's especially the case since the Mandalorians - aside from Boba and Jango Fett - aren't important in the Skywalker Saga. The Mandalorians are rarely seen in the Star Wars universe, therefore the new Disney+ series may be new to some viewers.
