The Mandalorian culture is one of the most interesting in Star Wars, and one evil Mandalorian from the series’ distant past fits right in with the current lineup of Star Wars stories. The mad scientist Demagol is one of the most disturbing characters in the franchise, and fills an evil niche just ripe for exploration.
The history of Star Wars’ Mandalorians is a long one, especially in the pre-Disney acquisition canon now called "Legends." One of the most interesting time periods for the Mandalorians is the Mandalorian Wars, approximately 4,000 years before the first Star Wars films. This period sees the Mandalorians, under Mandalore the Ultimate, almost conquer the galaxy. One story set during this time is the comic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This series follows Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick after he’s framed for murder and goes on the run with various other miscreants, one of whom is heroic rogue Mandalorian Rohlan Dyre. Or so everyone believes.
