Talk:Mandalorian iron

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

There is no evidence that Mandalorian Steel is anything but fanon. I'ts cited source, Insider 80, has no infromation on it what so ever. Therefore, I conclude this page is fanon and should be removed. --FoM 13:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Are there any sources backing up the claims in the 2nd paragraph? I've never seen any source saying Mandalorian iron was heavy. In fact, Insider 86 seems to contradict that claim, as do all of the instances of mandos using jetpacks. -LtNOWIS 03:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

  • It's been compared to real-world aluminum or carbon fiber, both of which are extremely strong, but also very light for their strength. --Ceric Neesh (once I can register, I will. Link's not working for some reason)

I'm new here, but I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I'd just like to point out that Triple Zero seems to contridict the second paragraph. On page 364, Atin says "I opted to take on Vau. He had a real Mando iron saber, and I was unarmed." So obviously Mandlorian iron was used to make swords, and Vau had one. --Mando'ad Merc 16:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I changed it, I'm not sure if I did everything right, and if I screwed up I apologize. --Mando'ad Merc 18:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Mandalore had significant deposits of Mandalorian iron, but most of it was mined by the Empire. However more deposits were found in Boba Fett's era.

I removed this piece because it doesn't seem to agree with the others. If Mandalorian Iron is an alloy, then what are they pulling from the ground? Can someone explain before adding that back in? --LightWarden 03:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Maybe there are deposits of the elements that make up the alloy, though, since I believe it is stated that the alloy itself is mined, it's probably the writers failing to do any research.--Lord OblivionSith holocron 13:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Mandalorian Iron isn't an alloy, as it's made of refined beskar ore (which is Mandalorian Iron ore's proper name) that's been folded over several times to increase its strength. Mandalorian steel is an alloy of Mandalorian iron and several other unknown ingredients. Also, Mandalorian steel can be cut by a lightsaber, due to its being an alloy; however, it has been stated by Karen Traviss that pure Mandalorian Iron, or Beskar, can't be cut by a lightsaber, except in cases like Freedon Nadd's tomb, where it was struck repeatedly over several hours in the exact same location. --Ceric Neesh (still can't register)
"Struck repeatedly over several hours"? I'd like some verification of that. -MPK

Does Tales of the Jedi 5: The Saga of Nomi Sunrider, Part 3 count as an appearance, since Mandalorian manacles are used? 68.44.13.236 05:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible name change?

Shouldn't the article name be changed to Beskar? Mandalorian Iron is just the slang name for it.--Bisted

  • Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me.--Bisted

[edit] Controversy

In Young Jedi Knights: Jedi Under Siege it says that Mandalorian Iron could not resist a lightsaber. IT is in chapter 19, page 318 in the trilogy version. Micah Giett 15:24, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Force resistant?

It has been stated in quite a few sources (I think planets and moons was one.) that many theorize the force proof bubble that Ysalamiri produce comes from mandalorian iron absorbed from the trees also it seems to be able to contain sith spirits although the walls may have only been out of Nadd's reach and meant to keep others out not the spirit in.SargeLIVES 22:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Same ore?

Mostly out of curiosity, is there anything specificly stating Mandalorian Iron is a different material then Cotorsis, which seems to have virtualy identical properties? 71.6.99.158 20:22, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
