sounds like Almec

Meanwhile the poor kid sobs in their great-great-grandparent's own crafted Beskar armor
Thats kinda how it was during the Republic.

The ANSWER: Not all Mandalorians wear pure beskar, some just wear Durasteel (a weaker and cheaper look-a-like metal) and some wear Duraplast and plastoid.
In Legends, durasteel is a pretty resilient alloy, to the point where most of Darth Vader's suit is reinforced with durasteel.
Now, plasteel, on the other hand...
Sounds like Chinesium made from the great forges of the Walmartians
@@davidhong1934 Plasteel is what Stormtroopers wear and we know how that worked out for them. Plus Durasteel is what they used for their Star Destroyers

Q: Why most Mandalorians get one shotted despite wearing beskar armor.
A: They're not wearing beskar armor
yeh
True
In rebels his brother definetly sad if they dont put down their bednář armour they will die.
its technically a weaker alloy
@@martinaelmanova9152 yeah the video explains that they are wearing Beskar amor but that it is very much watered down. That's what most are wearing in TCW and Rebels. The weapon made to target the Mandalorians in Rebels was clearly targeting the Beskar aspect of the aloy.
The guy in rebels wasn’t wearing beskar, the empire gave him essentially storm trooper armor and took the beskar
Yeah the video almost exclusively uses Rebels clips but you see Mando in the dozens gets blastered down in the last few episodes of the Clone Wars.
@@SGz_Eliminated they have to earn beskar, they probably didn’t earn it all yet
Most mandalorians fighting for the Empire in Rebels were using some amount of beskar, otherwise Sabine’s weapon wouldn’t have affected them
@@josecbritos They literally say they're reconfiguring it to trooper armour instead in the episode
@@SGz_Eliminated Idk about the S7, but for others season when you see a mando soldier die, it's from weaks spot, the jetpack being the most overattacked one, probably not made in beskar, but sometime between plates too
Also makes sense for him, their clan using pure beskar armor. They are really conservative and traditionalist. Fits their style. Most mandalorians are more loose with their creed.
i dont think anyone is gonna willingly choose to wear shittier armor just because they want to break free of traditions though.
they are a cult, you know that right?
@@UrbanSyed2904 so are the jedi
@@thatoneidiot7076 xD what I meant is, Bo-Katan and the other guy mandalorian, said to Din Djarin that he is in a zealots group. Where as a normal Mandalorian have no problem taking off their helmets in front of other organics. The Jedi is somewhat of a cult, I agree, as some might argue back, it is in fact a religion or a sect that is extreme or false. But Luke's Jedi Order is not as he believe the Dark Side is just a tool same as the Light Side.
Where as Mandalorian is a race + belief. No problem in taking off their helmet but Din Djarin is part of Children of the Watch, they believe in Mandalore's extremist way of not taking helmet in front of other organics and if you take it off, you can't put it back on. That is a cult. Either do or quit

Beskar > Durasteel
Not all mandos wear Beskar
Yes, in Rebels Gar and Tiber Saxon and their Mandalorian Super Commandos wear Duraplast just like Stormtroopers, which is why when Sabine sets the Duchess to to work against imperial armour instead of Beskar it effects Saxon and his Super Commandos.
Plot armor > Beskar > Durasteel
That’s actually true. Otherwise the siege of Mandalore would’ve gone on forever lol.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 : Yup. Han Solo never needed armour. Nor did Chewie, for that matter.
No, most mando wears Beskar, Boba or Jango's were speculated to be durasteel but turned out to be wrong and got recanonized. Tiber used stormtrooper amor not mandalorian. Captain Hark was affected by the duchess using the same kind of gar saxon armor when the duchess still aims for beskar. We actually never see a mandalorian gets killed by blasters except their own weapon(westar) or Clone's blasters which i think have been set to the right calibration because they knew they were going to fight mandalorian, as stated in JFO, a blaster with the right calibration can penetrate it, they also never get their armor penetrated by lightsaber, in siege of mandalore, ahsoka only aims for their blaster or jetpack. Also, turbolaser and blaster from walkers can penetrate it too
That one detail where Sabine gets shot and doesn’t die cause her armor is old is like the one detail that holds this whole thing together

Beskar is over powered.. but I'd rather that the character actually gets hit, unlike in rebels where the stormtroopers can't hit literally anything..
@@jay_mw i mean its exactly what happened with that sniper chick in the most recent ep. they still need her alive so for some reason all the troopers miss their shots on her but when mando enters the screen he becomes a freaking bulletsponge and tanks all hits. everyone loves that ep but the fights were so terrible it ruined half of it for me.

I guess this is why Mandalorians have a tradition of passing armour down.
Correct 👍🏽
Their ancient past was a very fearsome because their armour literally could tanks insane stuffs that most soldiers even to modern Star Wars can’t tank against without shields/tanky vehicles.
Apperently the armor is also ''one size fits all''
@@vikkran401 not for cob vanth
@@bayek8377 probably misisng some ofd the straps attached to the flight suit boba had that cob didn't have. After making my own armor and studying it intesely for 2 years those straps tightened on the proper under armor or flight suit can make pull it through for a tight fit. Seeing how fast Din's chest piece was forged on Mandalorian, it wouldn't take long for them to shape it either.
Gar Saxon used plastoid as shown in rebels by his brother who used the same armor material because Sabine’s weapon only attacked beskar and the Saxon’s weren’t affected by it
Until she modified it to only attack duraplast
Yeah
And Tiberius Saxon wore stormtrooper armor, not beskar. The imperial supercommando was targeted by the weapon, since it had beskar. Gar Saxon had the same armor as other supercommandos, so he had beskar armour, maybe not pure beskar, but it was beskar. I think it was probably that mando made guns are stronger than the average blaster.
If im corrected, wasn't the Pistol model that most Mandalorian use during the Clone Wars ( like all the clan in Death Watch: Visla, Ren, Saxon, ... ) are like Heavy Blaster Pistol ??
Im fairly sure they shot really powerful bolt's close to your average Blaster Rifle, but from a Pistol.

It’s obvious that mando’s, whether more loose with their beliefs or cultish, still have different armors than Beskar.
I mean even Mando, having grown up as a foundling in an extremist mandalorian group, still doesn’t have beskar when we meet him in episode 1.
Why should we expect all mando’s to be casually wearing such a valuable element?
His episode 1 armor was beskar, it was just old and damaged. I believe they said it would be reused for the foundlings when he went to get it replaced
@@joeyp.6312 the smith didn't say that. She said that after the armor is complete, spare Beskar will be used for foundlings, which means that the amount of Beskar Mando had was more than enough to make a full set of armor.
@@joeyp.6312 he had some storm trooper armor parts I'm pretty sure the only beskar pieces were his helmet and chest plate
@@joeyp.6312 What you are saying makes no sense, the beskar he has is taking hundreds of hits and lightsaber blades yet he it has not even a DENT. Yet you think the small piece of armor he had on in ep1 is Pure? It is clearly an alloy or it wouldn't be so broken. It makes no sense for Beskar to be falling apart after a few years of use when it can last hundreds of years

Wearing Beskar means every Stormtrooper can suddenly headshot you instead of missing
E C Henry has a video showing proof that stormtroopers have a pretty damn good aim normally, the only time it is bad is when there are force users around,
Also in the Mandalorian they sort of hint at this, stormtroopers without baby Yoda in the vicinity=headshots for days,
Stormtroopers carrying baby Yoda can't even hit a stationary can on the road, or a point blank murder droid.
Force users put a heavy accuracy debuff on stormtroopers.
@@damiansaturday6788 i found the answer to my long discussing question. Now i may ask my master to hire force sensitive stormtroopers
@@damiansaturday6788 In addition, in normal circumstances when near a Sith Lord or other dark force sensitive, the Storm Troopers and Imperial Officers are much more potent. The main case being that Obi Wan sacrificed himself to the Force as a Ghost and became even more powerful than Darth Vader in a supportive way, leading all blaster shots away from Luke and Han when they were fighting. Luke's anger was tying his shots to the enemy storm troopers before being reminded by Obi Wan to run.
@@damiansaturday6788 I know this comment is six months old, but I'm afraid I have to disagree with this heavily. You assess that whenever a stormtrooper is around a Jedi or force-sensitive user in general, they actively miss because the force decides to intervene because why? Is it because they are the bad guys? Why does it not affect droids' accuracy in the Prequels? Why, during order 66, did this not work when the clone troopers hunted down the Jedi? If your answerer is because they aren't stormtroopers, why does it only affect them? Does this accuracy fuckery extend to random bounty hunters as well? Cause I would argue they have just as bad aim in the show
In Episode 4, the reason the stormtroopers miss while our heroes are at the death star is so the empire can later follow them to the rebel base to blow it up. In episode 5, we later see them wrecking the rebels when they storm their base on Hoth, despite Luke, who is force sensitive and, while limited, he can use it. Episode 6 has them getting destroyed by Ewoks, a very primitive race that resort to guerrilla warfare, despite their skills of handling typically stronger enemies. Yet, in this scene, Luke wasn't with them at all. But you could argue that the stormtroopers didn't expect the Ewoks, I guess.
In the Mandalorian, the stormtroopers seem to have not had terrible aim but a very coincidental aim. The heroes are lucky that the stormtroopers only shoot at the armor plates themselves, not even by chance hitting in the groves between each armor piece. There are times when a stormtrooper was standing behind Mando and Co. or out of sight, only not to shoot them and stand there waiting to be shot. Cause the stormtroopers in this show are just on-screen to die and nothing more. Does the force also mess with them, so they don't shoot when they are supposed to as well? But the more significant issue with your assessment is, doesn't this ruin entirely the imposing threat they're meant to be? They are no longer a massive military force used by the empire, or remnants of the empire, to take over planets and strongholds. With this excuse in mind, I would no longer feel any threat from them cause I know the force will make sure everyone turns out great. Most film critics refer to as Plot Armour, and you're just trying to make an excuse as to why this is ok to be in the story.
Now that Mando has given up Baby Yoda to Luke, would he now actually start having trouble fighting stormtroopers?
@@Ethiesia its been a while since i last got into some star wars stuff, so i don’t really remember my thought process from 6 months ago, but my headcannon answers to these is that A. it is a subconscious/conscious action that is put into effect by the force users not the force itself. That is why the dark lords aren't simply sniped or killed by blaster shots from rebels, it applies to any force user dark or light, think vader in the corridor in rouge one. the clone trooper succeeded in killing the jedi as the jedi did not expect the friends and allies the fought along side in a many years long war to turn on them and shoot them in the back. the force has been shown to respond subconsciously with the emotional state of the users i.e things getting crushed when they are pissed of and plant life growing when they are happy, so why not having shots miss because the force users were thinking i don't want to die/get shot at. either by mind tricking the shooter in missing or moving the blaster/ shots themselves.
And the way jedi find new force users is ,get this, looking in looking for reports of kids who are ridiculously lucky. so the force users canonically experience using the force to alter probability in their favour. luke barely interacted with anyone in the battle of hoth. he took down one AT-AT with a buddy, and soloed another then got in a jet and flew off and this guy's greatest feat so far in the force was lifting a lightsaber out of the snow, nowhere near grogu's mudhorn lifting feat. just enough to protect himself and maybe a couple of people around him if leia is nearby, cause apparently the canonical reason the twins were separated was that they would be more noticeably powerful in the force when together.
as for the mandalorian while i love the show, i also agree completely with your assessment for it, and just prefer not to think about it while enjoying the show
as for Mando without baby yoda, i guess? his beskar is the second best thing to plot/force armor so he wouldn't be too screwed i think.
I like how Sabines armor was handed down generation after generation in her family and she paints it putting checkers and rebel signs all over it 😬😂

Eh. Mandalorians like colorful armor. Gives their enemies something to fear on sight.
Don’t think the paint lasts very long, so they get repainted regularly(relatively)
The armor is usually melted down and reforged to fit the person inheriting it.
@@otolock you should never melt a metal too that point. That's why iron is stronger than cast iron. Always heat it, then beat it to the new configuration
I’ll be honest, I thought only the mando imperials died easily because they had plastoid armour, but after rewatching CW S7, those Mandos died quick as well. So this video was pretty helpful

Durasteel: good luck

At best, plasteel makes sure you only get knocked out with a painful bruise that can be treated later on, as that's how the Stormtrooper armor was designed like

@@granmastersword right i remember that, clone trooper armor is meant for them to keep fighting, and the storm trooper armor is for them to survive but fall unconscious if i am right
@@davidh429 yup. Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone armor was designed to block blaster bolt impacts as best as they can to ensure Clone Troopers can last longer (which we have seen it does, but more often than not not as effectively as hoped)
Stormtrooper armor, on the other hand, with the war over and now wanting a faster way to produce armor to suit up millions of soldier for patrols around the galaxy, it was designed to ensure higher survivability for the wearer, making the armor disperse the bolt rather than block it, in turn minimizing the impact (for the majority of the time) and just leaving them knocked out by the force rather than dead

beskar probably shits over Master Chief's titanium alloy armor. Even if all together, it weighs half a ton. The REAL reason why it's so good is because of the energy shielding. Before they started implementing those, Spartans might as well have been wearing cardboard vs the Covenant. Mark IV Mjolnir armor was NOT capable of standing up to energy weapons.
@@MrHandss Ok, but you forget that the Chief is the one wearing the armor, he is also genetically enhanced beyond pretty much anything we've seen in starwars and Chief himself has ended entire armies... A Mandalorian stands no chance.
As I understood it, the Imperial variant of Mandalorian armor we se Gar Saxon and his commandos wearing isn't really beskar at all, or at least a very, very small concentration of it...which makes sense, seeing as they've all but completely forsaken their Mandalorian heritage. On the other hand, the more traditional Mandalorian armor we see in the animated shows-Clan Wren, the Death Watch, and especially individuals like Sabine and Bo-Katan-rarely seem to be one-shotted in the same way, or at the very least their armor seems to take it better and retain no lasting damage. Hell, Sabine gets shot all the time and her armor is usually fine.
She got shot like, 3 times in the show, and one was when Vader reflected her shot back into her visor.
Wikipedia about Mandalorians: ua-cam.com/video/LHOHmS0zJhc/v-deo.html
A prime example is the mando early in season 1, the only piece of armor made of pure beskar was his helmet. That’s why you see his armor slowly break as the show goes on until after he collects baby yodas bounty
Durasteel is supposed to be super resistant against non blaster damage, so it really shows how powerful Mud Horns are. The mercenary axes did nothing to the armor, falling from the top of the Jawa crawler did nothing to the armor, but that Mud Horn took a giant chunk off of it with one ram.

The purity of beskar also plays the role. It was mentioned in the episode with Ahsoka, when the magistrate hired Din and the beskar spear was supposed to be his payment. She said "pure beskar, just like your armor." This implies beskar mixed with something else isn´t that good and valuable, pure beskar is the best and the most valuable.

It’s pretty shit from a practical standpoint. “Well all my intestines were blown out but at least my shoulders are ok.” They should stop taking armor design tips from fantasy movies.
@@shilopnamreg6468 star wars is space fantasy though
A few other notes: The Imperial Mandalorians we see in Rebels are wearing some kind of Empire produced armor. It is likely this armor was cheaply built and might not of had any Beskar in it what so ever. The Empire was very much "quantity before quality" during the time of Rebels, throwing out cheap fighter craft and poorly trained/equipped Stromtroopers to crush rebels, so giving the Imperial Mandolorians just a slight variation on normal stormtrooper armor without any upgrades outside of the jetpacks make sense.
Also, in Star Wars Clone Wars, Rebels, with few exceptions it is hard to tell where a Mandalorian was shot when they are taken out by a blaster. It is possible that the blast managed to hit the many areas in Mandalorian armor that isn't covered in Besckar. We see the Mandolorians engaging in hand to hand combat very often with other Mandalorians even when both sides have blasters. This could indicate that either pure Beskar or blaster resistant composite-Beskar is common enough that punching other Mandalorians is often better tactic than trying to shoot them.
That makes a lot of sense. I always wondered why they would only use their blasters as suppression while moving to engage in hand to hand fighting. But if they knew that the blasters were worthless, their only bet would be hand to hand. So they use the blasters against anyone not in armor, and then use them to hopefully scare the armored opponents while charging them.
also didnt Sabine built a weapon that targeted beskar armors aswell, a weapon the imperial Mandalorians had. So they would not want to be fried in their formfitting beskar microwave and used the same stuff as stormtroopers in their armors i guess
@@ronhan9 Good point, forgot that.
@@Darthybuddy Its also a decent defensive strategy; unless you're fully encased in Beskar (and very few are), then enough bolts will eventually find a weak spot. If you're confident in your hand to hand, closing to melee is a way to prevent an opponent and typically their allies from firing on you.

In the Rebels show, The "Imperial Mandalorians" were NOT wearing Beskar. They were wearing Imperial Armor, which is how Sabine defeated them with her machine.
You should pay more Attention to the Show. The Imperial Supercommandos where using Beskar Armor, also Gar Saxon used Beskar Armor. His Brother Tiberius instead used Stormtrooper Armor
Not quite. If you rewatch the episode you'll see that Saxon gets zapped by the machine when it was targeting stormtrooper armour, whereas the other Imperial mandalorian in the room is wearing the regular Imperial Supercommando armour and gets zapped when it targeted the rest of the mandalorians.
@@TacticalSatsuma by that point in the show gar saxon was already dead, sabine's mother shot him, tiberius, gar's brother took command and build sabine's machine
But in Clone Wars we see Death Watch Mandos and Mauls Mandos die to blaster bolts. Are they not wearing beskar either?
@@TheFro1112 A full Beskar Armor is extremely rare so Mandalirians used a Armor with Beskar alloy. It is not as strong as a full Beskar Armor so they could be killed by Blaster Bolts. Thats also why the Armor of the Ancestors of a Family is so import to Mandalorians because most of the time they are full Beskar Armors.
beskar in the books was invincible to almost anything. makes me wonder how they even forge it. a light saber cut through 2 sets of solid blast door metal in star wars episode 1. but has to be held to beskar for an hour to start getting through it. plus i wish the clone troopers armors were more like the books. especially the commando troops where their suits could see 360 degrees around them ( explains why its hard to sneak up on a mandalarian wearing fully updated beskar armor because the electronics in them showed them their surroundings 24/7) plus being able to filter our toxins in the air. air reserves to survive in space for an hour or 2. almost unlimited data banks to store an endless amounts of data. and their infrared scanner lens. im going full nerd but yeah. mando armor in the books was really overpowered. biggest weak spots were the seals and joints where the armor allowed the bending of limbs. basic troopers had plastisteel armor but higher ups like officers had custom armors
well you just answered how it was forged. If a light saber takes 1 hr to heat it to the point it melts, then it was forges with that amount of heat, over an extremely long period of time.
F for the legendary Razor Crest, gone but not forgotten
@@Fgway thats a good prediction
That is a very good prediction, I was also surprised when it got blown to pieces
@@Fgway I'd also like to see Mando back with his disruptor rifle hope he gets one soon
Shoulda made it outta beskar
One thing they didn’t consider is that the razor crest appears in rise of Skywalker (or its just the same model of ship) so either he gets a new identical ship or they’ve created a potential plot hole
Bo-Katan takes several rounds from Gideon in the last episode of The Mandalorian, too.
Presumably her armour also has a high beskar content
Which makes sense when you consider that her family was a part of the 'ruling class' of Manadalore before the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
I wouldn't say it's as good as Mando's though. She and Sabine's armor are good, but not Din Djarin's level of quality. They both topple to blaster fire while Mando easily walks through large amounts of blaster fire.
@@Pepsi-Mann21 Or perhaps because each time Mando takes a full volley home he is prepared, while Sabine and Bo are taken by surprise. I find it hard to believe that Sabine or Bo, litteral Mando nobility who've been trained since a young age to fight extremely well inside their armour (and do it better than Din as we've seen during the hijack scene), wouldn't have the necessary modicum of cautiousness not to expose themselves unnecessarily. Mando on the other hand constantly relies on his armour, while the others use their marksmanship first and their armour second.
The only one who does both extremely well is Boba Fett, like a bantha.
@@rollolol6053 might also be dins testosterone benefit and training at work
This actually makes sense because when Mando goes in with the two grenades and his fellow mandalorians take cover. His armor was "pure" so could take the hits. Their armor weren't blaster/lightsaber resistent.
This comment didn’t age well. Their armor proved to be blaster resistant in the finale.
@@MatthewHop ehhhhh the mandalorian walked towards like multiple troopers shooting
@@MatthewHop Yeah I reckon the best way to describe it is that Mando’s armour is far more resilient than most other mandalorians. Which is not to say that the other mandalorians have weak armour; even if they’re made of beskar composites it’s still one of the strongest body armours in the galaxy
uh in clone wars we've seen mandalorians resist lightsaber strikes, in s7 ashoka is only able to take some of them down by slicing off their jetpacks at the weaker points, while when she strikes other spots it glances off
yes, however bo katan had armor handed down to her from generations before. meaning that it was prolly pure

Beskar Armor: repels lightsaber
Force choke: allow me to introduce myself
Force crush
I'm fairly certain beskar is merely resistant to lightsabers. Thing is it HAS been written in the EU(Disney is taking stuff from there without crediting the authors) that beskar CAN stop one or two swings from a lightsaber, but if it is prolonged contact then it will melt right trough. Save the Quantum Crystalline armor used by the sun crusher(total nonsense right there) and Phrik, no material in the SW canon or EU is truly lightsaber proof.
@@The-Singularity-X01 it’s a blade of space magic enhanced plasma. It’s incredible anything can resist it.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Zilo Beast: *allow me to intoduce myself*
@@The-Singularity-X01 If you've watched the brief scuffle between Ahsoka & Din, you'd know that it was no longer the case. while lightsabers could still melt beskar when exposed long enough (beskar was forged, therefore heat's used after all), mere prolonged contact alone wouldn't be enough to cut through beskar. Din would've lost his forearms if that were to be the case.

The unspoken reason the mandalorian and Sabine lived through some attacks would be something well known as plot armor
ya right.. Its hilarious how some people believe the show writers put this much thought into lol
Well, to be fair to the canon, the armour she's wearing when she gets shot is actually super old, which lends itself more to being made out of either pure beskar, or at least auch higher amount the most modern sets of armor, since beskar used to be a lot more plentiful. Vs the current situation where Mando's all across the galaxy are trying to get as much of it as possible since the empire basically strip mined most of their supply.

New Mandalorian: "This armor will protect me from blaster!"
Mandalorian Forger: Good guess, but actually no!
The True Mandalorians were a Mandalorian group of supercommandos who remained loyal to Jaster Mereel, their leader and the reigning Mand'alor, when Mereel's reformist ideals for the Mandalorians were met with opposition from Tor Vizsla's radical splinter group known as the Death Watch.
The New Mandalorians was the pacifist government of the Mandalorians that controlled the Mandalore system in the Outer Rim. The New Mandalorians placed great importance on the virtues of pacifism, neutrality, and nonviolence rather than martial prowess and military strength as the Old Mandalorians did.
The Old Mandalorians were one of three splinters of Mandalorian society following the Mandalorian Civil War, the others being the New Mandalorians and the Death Watch.
The rebels character that was killed by a shot, well he wasn’t wearing beskar and was wearing stormtrooper armor, because of the new super weapon by the empire
He's not. It's still beskar, or part beskar. The Duchess weapon targets beskar, and the Imperial Super Commando type armor he's wearing is affected by it. It's why his brother, who uses The Duchess, wears actual stormtrooper armor.
Real reason: Armor is useless in star wars unless your a main character. Hence why every storm/clone trooper gets one shotted as does every highly armored droid
True, B2 super battle droids were barely even scratched by small arms fire save for a few weakspots, yet you see them being wrecked by a few blaster shots in Clone Wars
@@bbbbende the clones are good shots, just like the simulations :)
Actually, a lot of clone troopers and stormtroopers survive shots because of plastoid armor, but get incapacitated. The armor was supposed to A) protect against pistols or rifles (not sniper rifles) from out of their range, meaning that they wouldn't be able to penetrate the armor, and B) at least keep them alive even from some closer range shots.
Sith Acolol yeah but the movies didn’t use that protection rating
@@HaloDude557 a lot of stormtroopers in the OT didn't die from shots

This is how I reconcile Boba Fetts armor between the visual dictionary and the Mandalorian. His armor is probably durasteel and beskar, some parts one, some the other, and some an alloy.
Are you refuting to the fact his head got cut off? Because I'm pretty sure the simpler answer is do to the fact Mandalorians don't cover their necks with armor

@@Soggylemonz yeah you're right
didn't the imperial mandalorians in rebels wear something totally different than beskar? that's how sabine's weapon worked right?
No sabines weapon worked against that imperial mando who questioned Saxon. Maybe he wasn’t wearing full beskar but still had some in it
@@ChevyChase301 yes but Tiber definitely wore imperial armour as he was effected after Sabine modified the Duchess
@@ChevyChase301 I'm not sure what you're talking about, I meant the one she designed. The one that the imperial mandalorians used against the other mandalorians to disintegrate their armor
You're right. In order for "The Dutchess" to be most effective against rebellious Mandalorian clans/cells, the Imperial Mandalorians wore non-beskar armor (whether if it's plastoid/plasteel). However, what Joey's talking about was when Sabine modified the weapon's settings to target plastoid/plasteel, which is why it targeted Saxon.
Side note: I personally think that the Imperial Mandalorians quite literally "sold out" by trading in their ancestral beskar armor to show their allegiance and to essentially "pay" the Empire. Also, I think the Empire mandated it to prevent/discourage a Mandalorian uprising. Mandalorians are dangerous, but even more so with their armor.

‘May contain traces of beskar’
According to the state of california.
Lol the Mandalorians in Rebels dont even need armor, 99% of the shots in that show miss anyway 😂😂
The dude in the red mando armor isn't even wearing an armor with beskar. That's fairly well demonstrated in the episode where he uses Sabines weapon to basically torture her and Bo-katan by tuning it to the frequenzy of beskar
then later in the episode Sabine tunes it to target duraplast (storm trooper armor) instead and then that dude gets hit by it, so it's clearly 100% not beskar at all
Post makes no sense, when the Duchess is turned on a Imperial Super commando that questioned the wepoan AND Bo-Katan and Sabine are all zapped, they clearly all have beskar

@@henrypaleveda7760 🤦🏻♂️
I always had an alternative explenation. Mandalorian blasters normaly can be seen firing yellowish blaster bolts of light I always thought it was because they were more potent. If mandalorians have blaster proof armor then they would never be able to win the clan wars that they had, so in a cold war like way they developed weapons that can penetrate their own armor so Mando vs stormtroopers he is fine because they use the red blasters while mandalorian vs another mandalorian they both Use beskar penetrating weapons meaning one will die
It really botheres me how Din Djarin has many gaps between his Beskar armor, how has nobody managed to hit him in them spots?
Sabine's even worse for that.
@@yeudler41 IKR SHE LITERALLY USES 5 ARMOUR PLATES. It’s so stupid, can’t she get any more Beskar? At least Durasteel?
While I can't explain how he hasn't ever been shot in the gaps in his armor, it's clear that the armor is most concerned with protecting vital organs while not limiting mobility, so long as you have a helmet and torso protection anywhere else you get shot is in most cases a survivable injury if treated quickly and properly
Those spots have armor too. Plot armor.
People who fire weapons are probably taught to aim for center mass/torso and the head, not legs or arms which are harder to hit if the target is moving or behind cover.

I had thought that this might be why they died so quickly when my brother asked me so this just confirmed it

Oh that makes sense! Short, sweet and to the point! Gotta love it!!
So basically the older and pure beskar the armor, the better it is. That kinda sound a bit backwards.
Not really, when you consider that in many parts of our world the quality of armor is dictated not only by the forging methods of that age but also by the quality of metals available to that populace.
In Greece, the Dark Age warrior were covered in full bronze armor than its nearly Plate armor in what they covered. At the times of the Roman Republic battles vs the Greek states, the majority of the warriors used linothorax, a linen made armor. The Roman legions of the First Century (the ones wearing the Lorica segmentata) were heavier armed and armored than the last legions too (than were lucky to get an hamata, thanks to the heavier warriors deserting to the ERE). In Japan, the swords made before Sengoku, the civil war they had, were better than the most modern ones,simply because they were made faster and of cheaper material. We used to use metal for what we now use plastic etc. The real world is full of those things.

Guy in thumbnail is Gar Saxon, and he’s an imperial Mandalorian so of course his armor is shit
I always assumed it was because Mandolorian blasters were capable of penetrating their own armors. Which is why the laser color was a unique color
The color of the bolts is made from how powerful the gas used in the blaster is I believe so that's why a mandalorian blaster has its unique color
Edit: when looking into the color a mandalorian blaster is just an "upgraded" blaster but with better gas used so it is not powerful in to penetrate beskar armor. So the reason why the "stormtrooper mandalorians" died in one shot is because their armur is the same stormtrooper armor
@@Magicalcards2000 Problem is, Captain Hark, a Supercommando, gets attacked by the duchess while it's still set to target Beskar.
Which means that Imperial Supercommandos wear Beskar Armor, but due to the forging process and the fact it's not pure beskar means that it's far weaker than Din's armor.

dies dishonorable in stormtrooper armor with possible only a trace amount of beskar in it. why would you even put beskar in plaski that shits week as fuck
Answer: The armor material a Mandalorian wears changes depending on the plot requirements.
Answer They were not wearing beskar
Plot requirements, the armour material changes, it does.
me: mom can we have beskar armor
mom: no, we have beskar armor at home
beskar armor at home:
I mean not every mando wears a full set of beskar, from the beginning even Din Djarin didn't have a full set of Beskar. Thats what makes him so extraordinary. Because the Beskar is so rare after the empire destroyed their home, most mandos really only have beskar helmets if they are fortunate enough. Of all the holes in the star wars lore this one is actually pretty easy to explain.
Problem is allot of the time it is said all Mandalorian are using Beskar. Which is true.... what is also true is that armor has been diluted so much that it provides none of the protections beskar provides. It's kind of like sapphire glass for modern phones. Every company claims to use it, but only a few of them are using enough to actually make the glass resistant.
I’ve been wondering about this for a while 🙏

This also explains the dent in Boba Fett's helmet. Surprised you didn't mention that given it's one of the most iconic elements of his armor.
Meanwhile Mando's helmet is dent free after getting his head bashed repeatedly by a dark trooper...
I like how short this video is, thank you.
It also has to do with the strength of Mandalorian weapons. Those wielded by Mandalorian in the clone wars would be very effective at puncturing lesser armours like a hot knife through butter.
