- "I am Pre Vizsla of Clan Vizsla."
- ―Pre Vizsla
Clan Vizsla was a Mandalorian clan.[3] During the time of the Old Republic, the Mandalorian Jedi[8] Tarre Vizsla served as the ruler of the Mandalorians.[4] During the Clone Wars, Pre Vizsla was the leader of Death Watch, a Mandalorian splinter faction opposed to the planet's pacifist government.[3] He succeeded in taking over Mandalore and became Mand'alor and Prime Minister, but was killed shortly thereafter by Darth Maul.[6]
During the Mandalorian civil war against the Galactic Empire and Clan Saxon, Clan Vizsla rallied behind Bo-Katan Kryze of Clan Kryze, along with Clan Eldar, Clan Rook, Clan Wren, the Journeyman Protectors, and others, making Bo-Katan the new Mand'alor.[10]
Emblems
Edit
The ancient emblem of the clan was a stylized shriek-hawk, or jai'galaar in Mando'a. Eventually, the Vizsla shriek-hawk was adopted by the entire Death Watch faction.[11] By the time of the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, Vizsla warriors adorned their armors with a different emblem, representing a flowered branch.[12]
Behind the scenesEdit
- "He is Clan Vizsla, like you."
- ―Fenn Rau to Sabine Wren, on Gar Saxon
In the fifth episode of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels' third season,[13] "Imperial Super Commandos", Fenn Rau mistakenly referred Sabine Wren and Gar Saxon as Clan Vizsla.[14] The same mistake was repeated in the Gar Saxon's Databank entry on the official Star Wars website.[15] On November 7, 2016, Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo stated that Fenn Rau should have said "House Vizsla."[16]
