It was all text and dialogue of course. But the image of grabbing onto a big ass War Droid while falling down to the ground like a meteor, with just your average heavy armor and helmet, right before entering the battleground and start kicking ass...it's too much testosterone.

It was like the intro of the 1st level of Halo 3, while MC is falling. But done by thousands of men that don't have the high-tech training and augmentations Spartans get. And they never complained, never cried, never showed fear. Well, actually they felt it, but that was what made that moment so much more awesome. Or rather, the image of the moment. It was all text and dialogue, but it felt so badass. Grabbing a droid? Thenn crashing onto the battlefield and jumping right in? I'd pay money to see that.

I remember the old days, when Mandalorians were warriors who were awesome! They were tough, buff, fought to their last moments to win, and they were truely the pinnacle of awesomeness....and then some new writers came along and turned them into a bunch of whiny brats who love peace and sipping tea and coffee and they hate anything even remotely related to conflict. Where did the "Man" part of Mandalorian go? Oh wait, I know. Some stupid writer wrote it into the trashcan.
