Is this show called Rebels or Mandos? So bored with this storyline. Get back to the rebellion already.
For the most part, they just don't focus on the killing if they don't have to. The leave it up to the audience's imagination. They tend to cut away. Like when Kanan went into the transport. He started swinging and the next thing you saw was bodies fly out. We're they dead, were the others inside? I think you have to come to the conclusion that they were. They did the same thing on the Star Destroyer when all the troopers surrounded Kanan, he made a remark, and they cut to another scene. They also did a scene were they threw a grenade into a trench near Stormtroopers, they cut to a shot showing the explosion from far away. Remember that they did show Mandalore Warriors being burned arrive inside their armor so when they feel that it is warranted, they will show it.
So just because you don't see limbs flying off, or stabbing, or wounds, does not mean there is not those being killed in battle.
Yeah really!
Honestly interested in any elaboration of what's behind your question if you wanna.

Mainly because it came from you. I know you tend to be cynical but you also have a realistic outlook and very open to the world (not closed-minded). To that end, although we are talking about a fictional culture, the Mandalore culture as it pertains to warriors appears to be deep rooted and not a trivial thing. I don't think you would mock a Hindu for not eating beef even though you may personally not have any feelings or beliefs that prevent you from doing so.
But yeah, tradition is all well and good, but if someone has found a way to use that very thing to KILL ALL OF YOU, (which is more cut-and-dried in this fictional scenario any real world analog would be), yeah it's time to adapt.
This is a deep rooted history, belief, honor, tradition, culture, almost religious topic/practice for them.
What the Mandelorians "are" is not a grouping of metal plates on their clothes, and they sell themselves short, and hobble themselves in this case, to make the armor more important than their own lives. We're not talking a change of their ideals or their philosophy or moral values. Metal. Plates.
NEW Star Wars Rebels episodes will premiere Mondays at 9pm ET/PT on Disney XD and 12:01am ET on DisneyNOW beginning 10/23!
According to the clone wars, jango wasn't a mandalorian. He was just a guy who had the armour.
Or has that been retconned?

I think it is trivializing their feelings and beliefs of their armor by calling them heirlooms. These are not Nana's pearls someone is handing down as a wedding gift. This is a deep rooted history, belief, honor, tradition, culture, almost religious topic/practice for them.
I would have to believe that such a tradition started so so so many years ago because of...
Need:
Due to war, the availability of material or means to produce new armor was rare and therefore new recruits were forced to wear the armor of those that had previously fallen. The practice then became ingrained in their culture.
and/or
Respect:
Someone might have started it as a way to honor family or comrades who had retired/fallen, a warrior would continue to honor them by taking their armor into battle. Eventually more and more adopted the practice until it was the standard practice.
and/or
something else.

All that will look great on there tombstones
Jango stole the armor is still canon.
At first I wasn’t cool with this, but now I would like to see them show us who and why he stole it
From the clone wars it sounds like those mando’s don’t respect him... I’m surprised they didn’t hunt down and kill him... he must really be that good of a bounty hunter or should I say that feared?

Probably the same thing a
British Redcoat said about the Declaration of Independence. :lol
I actually like that. For too long I felt like he's been seen as a
klingon. Some sacred honour warrior.
But having him a dude who stole that gear from a Dead (Or alive) Mandalorian is WAY better. He's a much ballsier badguy that way.
The question is, did he steal slave 1 from a mandalorian as well?
Your argument is the opposite of reality the British LOST because they clung to OLD battle tactics while the rebels (U.S.) adapted and integrated native fighting styles .
Adapt or DIE !
My remark was not in regard to battle tactics it
had to do with that they did not give in to their enemy and stuck with principles/ideas/beliefs that were important to them.
