And Griveous had electronic reflexes, which were compared to be near or above lightspeed. And yeah, I really don't see Mandalorians doing that except for what one writer felt. Was it Legends or NuCanon? Either way, Legends shows that you can dip something in cortosis. They probably had cortosis armor.

Both as the Clone Wars cartoon is canon to both Legends and canon. Mind you, a lot of people complained about Ahsoka in the Legends universe but she's a pillar of the development of a lot of characters in the canon universe.

The Mandalorians have the Darksaber (black lightsaber) as a Excalibur sort of thing in the series and often fight Jedi with it.

I never cared about Ahsoka in TCW but I really learned to like her in Rebels.

No, Clone Wars is hardly part of Legends. It didn't actually adapt any Legends material past easter eggs. They even brought it over to canon, so for all you've said, that should be the final nail in the coffin. Rebels is part of NuCanon. Thus, Clones Wars is part of that timeline. And I never liked Clone Wars, so they can have it. And it makes its fans happy too. At least the NuCanon fans.

Seriously why are you here if you don't like the current Canon of star wars.

Well, if people like it, they can have it as part of NuCanon given how obsessed we are with that term. I'm glad it's not part of Legends. To claim it was simply because it was made before the decanonization seems like rationalization.

I meant "canon" itself. But whatever. Carry on.
