Tarre Vizsla - Fan Canon
It’s of no coincidence to me that the Modern Star Wars lore would have us believe that Manda’lor Vizsla’s time occurs 1051 BBY as it simply proves that they haven’t even bothered to open a wiki article on Mandalorians to fact-check themselves.
At the time of 1051 BBY, old Star Wars lore had claimed that as the era of Manda’lor the Uniter, who had saved their home from being completely destroyed by the suspected biological weapon, the water based Blue Shadow Virus. Considering how much of Mandalore was destroyed at that time, and that in the era of Manda’lor the Uniter, the Republic had recovered from the virus and had begun to heal, the fact Mandalore was so targeted creates the notion that the virus was some kind of ill-fated bio weapon. The truth of that is unknown, but what is known is that the time of 1051 BBY was a bad time to be a Mandalorian. Only a tenth of the population survived, and that is the conservative estimate. Even if one removes Manda’lor the Uniter, the existence of the Blue Shadow Virus at this time (which is a canon occurrence in the Clone Wars as well) weakens the idea of Manda’lor Vizsla occurring so late in history, so they must be from an earlier time.
Skip back to the era of the Sacking of the Jedi Temple, and you have a whole new problem. Tarre Vizsla can’t have existed before this time, simply because the wars leading up to the Sacking were between the Republic, and both Mandalore, and the Sith (with Mandalore being the focus of the Republic, and the Sith the focus of the Jedi - roughly speaking, although conflict was had between all factions during this tremulous period) and that creates issues, with Manda’lor Vizsla being both a Mandalorian and a Jedi. Considering that is literally what they are best known for being.
That puts them occurring at a time before 1051 BBY, but after 3760 BBY, and that is a great deal of time to cover.
But why must Tarre Vizsla have existed before 1051, you ask? Well… you see, the Republic and the Jedi committed this terrible war crime called ‘orbitally bombarding a currently peaceful populace that you had a standing truce with out of fear that they might, perhaps, maybe, feel like attacking you first.’ Great job, guys, now the Mandalorians can never forgive, and never forget. If they weren’t going to attack you before, well they sure are now!
Mind you, the Mandalorians of the Crusades and Neo Crusades and perhaps even earlier, had been pretty fucked up, but the point of Manda’lor the Uniter was that they fixed a great deal of that. As should have Tarre Vizsla, if they were born before this event - which, they had to have been, to even exist wearing armour. That means the Republic and the Jedi annihalated a currently unarmed, peaceable culture out of their own fear for actions that the living, at that time (1000 years difference between the events of Knights of the Old Republic games and the destruction of Mandalore - that is a long ass time, even for generational memory) hadn’t even witnessed.
So, between 3000-1000 BBY… that’s well over 2000 years that Tarre Vizsla could have existed in. Hell, there were multiple orders of Mandalorian Jedi in that time, surely they were a part of at least one of them. Additionally, the darksabre was donated, by old Clan Vizsla, to the Temple, after Tarre died.
That means, considering that no other mention of the darksabre in Mandalorian history exists outside of Tarre Vizsla, with the next wielder literally being Tor Vizsla, the creator of modern Death Watch himself, that means that the Jedi Temple was broken into after the Dral Haran (the burning of Mandalore and its once arable worlds) and frankly, as much as I find considering someone leader by right of fancy sword, I can not blame the Vizslas for stealing it back.
Not after such a betrayal. I’m sure Tarre Vizsla is furious that their weapon is now ‘the sign of Kings,’ but I don’t think they mind that it was robbed from the Temple. Nothing justifies the near eradication of a people out of fear. That’s the point. It is even the point of Jaster Mereel’s break from the ideals of the Mandalorians of old. This concept is what the Clan Wars are about - why should a Jedi relic decide the Mandalorian future.
Now, that doesn’t mean that modern Mandalorians aren’t ill-informed - they probably are. Many Mandalorians have probably been grasping at straws to justify their existence and way of life to each other after the Dral Haran. That doesn’t mean we can ignore that it is a lie. The darksabre isn’t the sign of kings, the leadership is.

These first few seasons have gotta just be an origin story, right? Sure Din is “The” Mandalorian right now, sure he’s currently the rightful ruler of mandalore right now, sure he’s who we would assume to be the main character right now… But now Grogu? This kids been carrying this show (and Din) since the beginning. He is the fulfillment of prophecy, and he’s gonna live through it all. His father will rebuild Mandalore, but Grogu will rule it all.
This bitch walked
So this little fucker could run!

Mandalorian Culture Master post part 3
Leaders and society
Mandalorian’s are not like the rest of the galaxy they do not have kings queens duchesses elected officials a government per se but Mandalorians have clans tribes sects but the sole leader of the clans is a manda’lor a duty that is earned not given through combat or when a fallen mandalor dies in battle honour through combat is important for them not dying in a bed or of old age but glory in a battle against men and alien or beast.
Dying by machine brings no honour and no remembrance to your name.
The mandalors throughout history are a long one many have earned their title some have not been remembered for their actions or cause of death the first mandalor recorded in history was a taung war chief after being removed from their home world of Coruscant in the core worlds the mandalors ranged from the Taung to humans to other species throughout the centuries.
All known mandalors
1 Te Sol'yc Mand'alor [ the first mandalor]
2mand’alor the indomitable
3mand’alor the ultimate
4mand’alor the preserver
5mand’alor the lesser
6mand’alor the vindicated
7mand’alor the avenger
8mand’alor the unifier

What if being Mand'alor will help protect his kid? The Jedi do need a new place to set up after all. And if he could unite the Mandalorians in a way that would help protect the few Jedi that are around whilst the Jedi are working on establishing a safe place for younglings, then that could work? Alternatively, he could work with Bo-Katan on doing that same idea. When they go to rescue Grogu, maybe it ends being a 2v1 with Moff, and Bo-Katan genuinely wins the Darksaber with the aid of Din
Personally, I’m not too big on Din being in charge. I like him best when he’s out doing his own thing! And I do think the Jedi would prefer their own place to set up, rather than on a planet already depleted of natural resources. I think the Mandalorians need to do their own building up first before they could even think about helping anyone else.
