Part 2:
And still couldn't defeat the Mandos in the end without sacrificing a huge part of their own forces to do it. It's as if the Americans simultaneously nuked the Fifth Fleet in addition to Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII.
According to the synopsis on Wookieepedia, it seems more like most of the Mandalorians simply weren't interested in the Sith cause.
You claimed that the strike against the Dark Underlord (calling such a brief operation a "campaign" is extremely misleading) brought the New Sith Wars to an end, even though it actually took place centuries before the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, which
actually ended the New Sith Wars. That's sloppy. Very sloppy.
LOL no.
Dooku was meeting with Darth Sidious even before Qui-Gonn was killed, actually. And, as he states in
Open Seasons #4, after Galidraan he refused to ever undertake another mission for the Jedi, so his departure from the Order was already pretty much set in stone at that point.
Don't bring that Mouse-speak in here.
Your thought processes are hilariously simplistic.
Exact words, please.
The games do that because they tend to focus more on making the player feel powerful than respecting the lore.
Color me doubtful that Mandalore the Ultimate was personally capturing all of those Jedi that Demagol went through trying to narrow down the source of Force powers.
Despite Jedi being "thick as Mynocks" on the front lines even in the very early days of the Mandalorian War (according to
Knights of the Old Republic #8), they don't seem to have been that much of a problem for the Mandalorians to deal with, either on the battlefield or in terms of holding them prisoner.
It's made pretty clear in
Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire that Vader is earnestly trying to kill Fett (though Vader also acknowledges that Fett might kill
him instead):

Ultimately, Fett
does get the opportunity to kill Vader, but decides against it, since it wouldn't be to his ultimate benefit in the long run:

You just have to accept that these gratuitous insta-kill Force-powers you love so much simply aren't reconcilable with G-Canon and/or good storytelling.
Not really. The Mandalorians were actually dealing with in-fighting of their own during the Great Crusade, and for that matter, the Sith are the
last people to have any grounds to criticize about getting eradicated by the Jedi.
Yes, that's precisely the point. Jedi and Sith get distracted
all the damn time.

They'd be just as likely to let you die so as to take your place in the ranks.

The nature of the True Mandalorians' clients is rather vague. It's widely stated that Jaster Mereel's vision for the Mandos was as an honorable mercenary army, but there's no information on who they were fighting or whom they were fighting for and why. Of Jango's True Mandalorians, we only know that they took up a contract with the Governor of Galidraan to put down some armed rebellion, and the Governor himself seems to be on good terms with the Republic and acting within his rights (other than lying about the Mandalorians, of course), since the Jedi don't seem to give a shit about prosecuting him for having those rebels killed.
"Most SW EU fans"? Did you take a poll?
Stop getting so bent out of shape about fictional people.
You've never heard the retort "the Empire did nothing wrong"?
If they believe that they are working towards a greater good then they are, in fact, moral people, just after a different fashion than the morality of the Jedi.
Lucasfilm-approved trumps Lucasarts-approved.
Leia is one woman. Also, she ends up getting captured by the Imperials and having to be rescued by Fenn. While she certainly fights earnestly alongside the Mandos in defeating the Imperial garrison at Keldabe, it's mostly the Mandalorians themselves who are responsible for liberating their planet.
Vosa is also nuttier than a bag of squirrels.
And this was, from their point of view, a moral and noble cause.
It's not an opinion. It's a mystic vision from God, essentially.
And so they are extinct, while the Mandos still endure.
In other words, Mandalore the Indomitable is the Good Jew to your SS
Hauptsturmführer.
Vallorum didn't send Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Naboo in the capacity of military commandos. They were explicitly sent as ambassadors to negotiate with the Trade Federation.
Yeah, that's the problem with them Mandos, boy! Don't know their place! They's just too damn
uppity!
The Mandalorian portrayal of being Sith-allied nomads intent on galactic conquest ruins their character when in previous portrayals, they were friendly, honorable soldiers who only fought against the Jedi in the Clone Wars because of interplanetary politics.
The Mandalorian raid on Coruscant in
Tales doesn't appear to have been a loss. They suffered little in the way of casualties, captured a powerful new weapon and withdrew of their own accord in good order.
Anderson's Mandalorians are more like Mongols, TBH.
I said that you should have "kept it on your chest" because your arguments are terrible, not because your post was long.
TFA and R1 figures were infamous shelf-warmers in their own right.
