Initial prototypes for Boba Fett’s helmet in The Empire Strikes Back carry Jaig-like marks. Like, many of Dave Filoni’s productions, the Jaig’s off-screen origins are rooted in early Star Wars designs. The mark is colloquially referred to as “Jaig.” This helmet sigil, or sign, was granted by Mandalorian clan leaders as an honor, conferred for bravery in battle. The Mandalorian term translates to “shriek-hawk eyes” and refers to a native hawk of Mandalore and other planets of the Outer Rim. Since non-canon background information suggests that Mandalorians were involved in Clone training, fans explain Rex’s helmet decoration as a gift from a mentor. In Rebels, Kanan Jarrus also wore Jaig Eyes on his face shield after he was blinded. The Mythosaurįans of Clone Wars are familiar with the modified Jaig Eyes ( jai’galaar’la sur’haii’se in the language of the Madalorians) painted on Captain Rex’s helmet-one of the best examples of cultural cross-influences in the Star Wars universe. The points of the ring stand for the Mandalorians’ weapons the circle is meant to represent cycles of power and war, as well as the responsibility of new generations to perpetuate Mandalorian tradition. Within the Star Wars universe, the jagged, sharp edges of the serpent-like circle bring to mind the spikes and horn-bearing designs of early Mandalorian armor. The circle symbol of the Mandalorian Crusaders is similar to Christ’s Crown of Thorns from Christian culture, a direct line to the real-life, original Crusaders. These early Mandalorians, over time, developed the Canons of Honor and the Resol’nare (the Six Actions), guiding principles of Mandalorian culture and life. Originally, the Mandalorian Crusaders forced their ways on those they had conquered, but this rigidity was soon relaxed to allow Mandalorians to choose their way of life. Combat was a religious exercise, and their weapons were consecrated.

In addition, the honor code by which Din Djarin’s clan (Children of the Watch) lives is apparently based on the creed established by Mandalore the First.Īccording to non-canon material, The Crusaders were warlike, seeking to conquer other worlds. Cubist-style murals in the royal palace of Mandalore featuring Mandalorian Crusaders were apparent two episodes of Clone Wars. Much of what we know about the Mandalorian Crusaders comes from the Expanded Universe, but hints of them show up in canon as well. Mandalorian Crusaders carried swords, and, it is said, sometimes rode basilisk war droids. They were founded by Mandalore the First at least 24,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. The Mandalorian Crusaders, the first Mandalorians we know of, are the root of the historical conflict between Mandalorians and the Jedi.

So it makes sense that the Mandalorian Crusaders draw their name from these noble soldiers. Hope you find these generators as useful as I did.Part of the look of the Mandalorian armor-the knight-like suit, the T-cross visor-owes a great deal to medieval Europe and the Crusades. If there are other naming tables that you'd like me to convert, just let me know and I'll see if I can do it. Most of the translated names make no sense, unless you reorganize them as needs be, if you even plan to use them. I'm always looking for more stuff to add to this one, so if you have any suggestions, let me know! Made entirely by me, along with a few suggestions from r/dndbehindthescreen.
#Clan sigil generator generator
Random Location Generator - I use this to generate interesting locations for my sandbox world, modifying stuff as needs be. Halfling Name Generator - also from "Races of the Wild" The clan names are generated from my own list of words.Įlf Name and House Name Generator - From "Races of the Wild"

So, I made:ĭwarf Name, Clan Name and Location Generator - From "Races of the Stone". Anyhow, I was bored, so I decided to convert name tables from several 3.5e supplements into random generators, so if I ever needed random names during my sessions, I'd have them just a click away. I posted this to r/DnD yesterday, meant to share it with you guys as well but I forgot.
