Mandalore
Mandalorians are a fictional group of people associated with the planet Mandalore in the Star Wars universe and franchise created by Joe Johnston and George Lucas. Their appearance is often distinguished by gear such as battle helmets, armor, and jetpacks. First conceptualized for ''The Empire Strikes Back'' as a group of white-armored "supercommandos", the idea developed into a single bounty hunter character, Boba Fett. Although Fett was not identified as a Mandalorian in the film, his popularity inspired an extensive inquisition into Mandalorians in future Star Wars media, including novels, comics, television series, and video games. The Star Wars Expanded Universe and the television series '' The Clone Wars'', ''Rebels'', and ''The Mandalorian'' expanded upon Mandalorian lore with the introduction of additional characters, and established the Mandalorians not as an " alien race or species", but a distinct ethnic cultural ideology of humans and various aliens from Mandalo ...

List Of Star Wars Planets And Moons

Languages In Star Wars
''Star Wars'', a space opera franchise created by George Lucas, features various fictional languages throughout its setting. The ''lingua franca'' of the franchise is known in-universe as Galactic Basic, which refers to the language of the film or work itself, be it English or a language that the work was dubbed or translated into. Characters often speak languages other than Basic, notably Shyriiwook spoken by Chewbacca and other Wookiees, droidspeak spoken by R2-D2 and BB-8, Ewokese spoken by Ewoks, and Huttese spoken by Jabba the Hutt. None of these language names appear in the ''Star Wars'' films themselves. The fictional languages were approached as sound design and developed largely by Ben Burtt, sound designer for both the original and prequel trilogies of films. He created alien dialogue out of the sounds of primarily non-English languages, such as Quechua, Haya, and Tibetan. This methodology was also used in ''The Force Awakens'' by Sara Forsberg.
