- Sabine Wren, the Armorer, Bo-Katan Kryze, Din Djarin, Boba Fett, and Mandalore the Ultimate are some of the most significant Mandalorian warriors.
- Each warrior has made a significant impact on Mandalore and the galaxy, from liberating Mandalore to leading the Children of the Watch and even becoming rulers of the planet.
Renowned as the greatest warriors in the galaxy, Mandalorians have been a massive part of Star Wars history for decades. With a fleshed-out history beginning in Legends, the stories of Mandalore and its famed warriors have had the chance to be told in Star Wars transmedia, from the pages of novels all the way to live-action Star Wars TV shows. As these incredible stories have been told, more and more Mandalorian warriors have been cemented in history, each one paving the way for those who come after them.
Now, Mandalorians are as important to Star Wars as ever. The Mandalorian has been taking the world by storm since its 2019 premiere, which has made the history of Mandalore and its warriors increasingly important. Though many Mandalorian tales are now considered to be Legends, their stories are still woven into the fabric of canon Mandalorian history in their own ways, and their warriors remain some of the greatest. From the very first stories told about Boba Fett to Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin's recent reclamation of Mandalore, here are the top 10 Mandalorian warriors in canon and in Legends.

Her live-action debut in the Ahsoka series revealed that she's been training to become a Jedi, thus making her one of the rare Mandalorian Jedi to have ever lived in the galaxy. Even before this, Sabine was responsible for helping to liberate Mandalore from the Empire just before the Galactic Civil War, and she was even the wielder of the Darksaber for a time. Sabine is a notable Mandalorian warrior, but she still has much left to accomplish in the galaxy, especially now that she's trapped outside of it.
9 The Armorer The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett Even as a somewhat recent figure in Mandalorian history, the Armorer is one of the most influential, leading the Children of the Watch with a careful eye. The Armorer is not only extremely powerful with the way she so easily commands respect and wields her working tools as weapons, but she's also been able to keep her people safe through one of their greatest trials, moving from place-to-place in the galaxy after the Great Purge and still providing armor, weapons, and whatever else the Mandalorians may need. She's a figure who even someone like Bo-Katan Kryze has looked to for guidance, and there's no doubt she will continue to play this role in the future stories of this era – but there's still much left about her to discover.
8 Jango Fett Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones As the father of Boba Fett, Jango Fett's impact on the galaxy is too massive to ignore, and his Mandalorian history is even more interesting than many might think. Up until The Mandalorian season 2, Jango's canon history was mostly focused on his bounty hunting legacy and his involvement in the Clone Wars, but Boba himself was able to confirm some truths taken right from Jango's Legends history. As a Mandalorian foundling to a mentor assumed to be Jaster Mereel, Jango fought in the Mandalorian Civil Wars, and in Legends he was the one responsible for eradicating the Death Watch. While the latter may not be true for canon, Jango's influence is undeniable, though his history still falls short of other Mandalorian warriors.
