The planet was heavily bombed in the Night of a Thousand Tears by the Empire during the Great Purge of Mandalore, and millions of Mandalorians were killed, and the planet was thought to be uninhabitable.
During the time of The Mandalorian, the planet has been abandoned after being destroyed by the Galactic Empire in an event known as the Great Purge. Their planet glassed and cities destroyed, the surviving Mandalorians were forced to scatter throughout the galaxy.
The Empire gradually realized they'd never be able to control Mandalore, so the “Great Purge” was launched against the planet. Bo-Katan and her people attempted to fight off the invasion and bombardment of their homeworld, but the assault nevertheless led to a near-total genocide of the Mandalorians.
Revan personally defeated Mandalore in single combat as the Republic and Mandalorian fleets battled above Malachor V, and the activation of the superweapon known as the Mass Shadow Generator devastated both the planet and the participating fleets.
Some Mandalorians survived the Purge and fled Mandalore, though they scattered across the galaxy, whilst others never left Mandalore and migrated along the surface until the end of the Galactic Civil War: Bo-Katan Kryze: Survived and continued to lead Clan Kryze, as well as the Mandalorian resistance.
Why the Empire Punished Mandalore so Harshly [Canon]
What did Mandalore look like before it was destroyed?
The planet once was home to jungles, lush forests, grasslands, and lakes, but war turned Mandalore into a desert. Following the purge, Mandalorians were able to grow gardens in surface caves.
Notably, the Dagoyan Masters of Bardotta regarded the Jedi as thieves and kidnappers because of that practice. Some Mandalorians, most notably members of Death Watch, held a grudge against the Jedi for their perceived crimes against Mandalore during the Mandalorian-Jedi War.
Despite the Mandalorians developing the perfect techniques to kill Jedi, they were not able to overcome the Jedi's greatest strength. Star Wars Rebels showed exactly why the Force can overcome any weapon the Mandalorians throw at the Jedi.
The war left Mandalore's surface scorched and desolate. The last great struggle between the Jedi and the Mandalorian warlords resulted in a large battle on Mandalore. This caused a cataclysm that scorched much of the planet's surface into lifeless white desert and ending the conflict, the Jedi emerging victorious.
They also developed a new fighting style that would allow them to wield their arsenal with the expert skill they require. After Mandalorians started slaying Jedi Knights, their reputation grew. They became the most feared warriors in the galaxy all over again, but their battles continued to rage.
Kuiil is the most tragic. The man spent three human lifetimes working for his freedom, and in the end he got killed by those who could never appreciate hard work. IG-11 at least died so the others could live, but Kuiil's death was just a loss, not even a half-victory. Kuill, hands down.
As Din's conversations with Bo-Katan in Season 2 made clear, the survivors of the Purge believed the Empire had attacked Mandalore as part of a "scorched earth" policy, opting to annihilate the Mandalorians and their planet after realizing Mandalore would never submit to Imperial rule.
Tarre Vizsla was a Force-sensitive human male who, was inducted into the Jedi Order around 1050 BBY, becoming the first Mandalorian to do so. Tarre eventually became a famous Jedi Knight. Vizsla created the Darksaber during his time as a Jedi.
In that regard, Darth Vader will more than likely command fear out of Mando as he comes straight at him, deflecting any projectile Mando throws at him. Mando will need all of Baby Yoda's help in order to make it a decent fight and even then, he'll only be able to survive with the assistance of his little green ward.
Mandalore the Ultimate is, as his name suggests, the greatest of the Mandalorians. Although his past is steeped in mystery, it is clear that he was a warrior and leader with no equal, who led his people during the Mandalorian Wars against the Jedi, single-handedly turning the tide of the war in their favor.
Kylo Ren is a deadly swordsman and can use many Force powers, from mind-reading to telekinesis to catching blaster bolts in midair. No Mandalorian warrior, even the experienced Din Djarin, would last long if Kylo Ren made up his mind to dispose of them once and for all.
Bo-Katan dismisses Boba as a pretender and a disgrace to his armor, refusing to acknowledge Jango Fett as the father of Boba and disparaging him for being a clone.
Early on in the Great Sith War, the forces of the Sith Lords Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma clashed with Mandalore the Indomitable. The Great Sith War took place approximately 4,000 years before A New Hope.
Despite the animosity between the Mandalorians and the Jedi, Tarre Vizsla became the first Mandalorian Jedi. As a Jedi, Vizsla built the Darksaber and used it to unite his people as their Mand'alor.
It was believed that Grogu would eventually become a victim of Kylo Ren's destruction of Luke's Jedi Order. However, The Book of Boba Fett revealed that Grogu chose to follow the Way of the Mandalorian rather than become a Jedi, sparing him from Kylo Ren's wrath.
Is Grogu Yoda? According to the events of "The Mandalorian" so far, Grogu and Yoda are not the same character. They are simply from the same species. The name of this species has never been revealed since "Star Wars" creator George Lucas wanted to give Yoda a sense of mystery.
Typically, Humans had an average lifespan of 100 to 120 standard years. Those who were keenly atuned to the Force, a ubiquitous and binding power that suffused the whole Known Universe, could live up to 200.
