Star Wars: The Old Republic : The Return of the Mandalorians

Lance Henriksen, an actor famed for his role as Bishop in the Alien franchise films, reprises his role as Keeper of the Jedi Archives in this latest holorecord entry on the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website.

The new entry, entitled The Return of the Mandalorians, details the renewed role of the Mandalorians in the war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. The resurgence of Mandalorian involvement in the conflict is marked by the ascension of a young warrior from the Gladatorial arenas of Geonosis as the new Mandalore.

The new Mandalore has organized a large army to challenge the Jedi Order, and their recent blockade of Republic supplies along the Hydian Way supply route served as a major setback to the Galactic Republic, who, up until now had been experiencing some momentum in the conflict.

Though the Jedi fleet that had been dispatched  to deal with the Mandalorian blockade was defeated, they were fortunate enough to be rescued by smugglers who did indeed break up the blockade. Where the Mandalorians will turn up next is anyone's guess, but what is clear is that they are here to stay.
