Used to craft Mandalorian armor , beskar has the power to gross out both lightsaber slices and chargeman fire , render the wearer invulnerable to most attack . For this reason , beskar is one of the most assay - after material in the galaxy ; even a little camtono of beskar was enough for people to throw away blood over . But despite being one of the strong subtances inStar Wars , beskar has one major flawthat tot to its uniqueness .
The Brobdingnagian majority of beskar — the pinnacle of Mandalorian culture — was stolen from the Mandalorians inthe Night of a Thousand Tears . Sometime between 4 ABY and 5 ABY , near whenReturn of the Jeditakes place , the Empire decided to force out Mandalore and bomb the planet to smithereens . Millions of Mandalorians were kill for the saki of place an an example for other strong wiz systems who might think about gainsay the Empire . At the same time , the Empire plundered Mandalore for all it was worth , seizing most of their cherished beskar . Yet what they really did with the metal is surprising .
Since The Mandalorian explode on Disney+ , Star Wars fans have been peculiar about the planet Mandalore . Learn its story and other unknown facts .
The Empire Never Used The Beskar Looted In The Great Purge
The Empire obliterate Mandalore and stole its beskar , yetit never actually utilize the metal in a meaningful elbow room . It ’s likely they had enough beskar to outfit a small USA of Imperial troopers , or even plate a small ship to make it indestructible . But becausethe Great Purge of Mandalorehappened after the Empire ’s dip , it ’s potential there were n’t enough imperial left to bother making something out of the beskar . In the end , they melted what they ’d stolen into simple bars and stamped each of them with their own Imperial symbol . They wasted it by not using it .
The fact the Empire did n’t use the beskar from Mandalore shows why the Client ( Werner Herzog ) was so uncoerced to give it back to Pedro Pascal ’s Din Djarin inThe Mandalorianseason 1 . Unlike other Imperials , the Client wanted the beskar back in the hands of a Mandalorian , rather than see it gather dust in the recession of an Imperial warehouse . To the Client , the beskar was little more than a fancy ribbon with a dark story behind it . But to Mandalorians like Din Djarin andthe Armorer , it was a precious resource for their armour .
The Empire Couldn’t Find An Armorer Who Could Shape It
InStar warfare : 100 physical object , Kristin Baver states:“the Empire had difficultness finding an armorer equal to of shaping the metallic element into its impregnable form . ”In realism , it was n’t that the Empire did n’t require to use the beskar to bolster their force ; they could n’t use it . seek as they may , they never found anyone among their scientists and Bessie Smith who could decent mould beskar . After all , this was a alloy that had been the exclusive attribute of the Mandalorians for millennia . Mandalorians had expend century refining the technique need to craft armorand weapons out of beskar .
In a darkly ironic twist , when Moff Gideon ordered the Purge of Mandalore , he ended up incinerating the only people who knew how to use the metal he ’d stolen . Shortly after the deed of conveyance was done , he must have realized the dependable licking in what was meant to be his greatest victory . The Imperial smiths could not image out how to shape beskar , leaving Gideon stuck with the substantial metal in the beetleweed with no means to use it . Therefore , he melted the beskar into Browning automatic rifle and stamp them with the Empire ’s symbol to bruise the memory board of the Mandalorians .
Who Shaped Moff Gideon’s Season 3 Beskar Armor?
WhileStar Wars : 100 Objectsexplains why the Empire could n’t use beskar , it fails to explain howGideon craft his Mandalorian armorinThe Mandalorianseason 3 . The most potential solvent is that Gideon was capable to rule ancient documents that helped himforge Mandalorian armour on Mandalore . This would excuse why it was necessary for him to set up his base on the same planet he ’d destroyed , since he realized it was the only manner to expend the beskar he ’d steal .
An important and influential member of the Imperial Shadow Council , Moff Gideon was personally responsible for the Purge of Mandalore . Moff Gideon deliberately seeded reports Mandalore was uninhabitable , secretly claim the world and beginning efforts to extract its precious beskar . Moff Gideon ’s ambitious attempts to clone herself were disrupted by Din Djarin , and he died when the Mandalorians retook their homeworld .
Star Warshas excuse why the Empire knock off the beskar taken in the Purge , but it still needs to show how Gideon managed to craft his own beskar armour . In all likeliness , his armor may not have even been as firm as it could ’ve beenhad a Mandalorian smith made it . So , while he mockingly tried to double their armor , he ultimately failed to account for the centuries of proficiency that go into do rightful Mandalorian armour . Thankfully , the Armorer preserved these techniques for next Mandalorians inThe Mandalorianto learn .
