About this deal

Pre Vizsla was the leader of the Mandalorian Death Watch faction during the Clone Wars. He hatched several plots with Count Dooku to take over the planet Mandalore, as he believed that its current leaders, lead by Duchess Satine Kryze, were weak and had followed the wrong course of action. He was a strong believer in the warlike culture that Mandalore had always been and wished to reinstate those nearly forgotten ways. When his plans failed, Vizsla turned on Dooku, who gave him a lightsaber scar across his face. The Death Watch leader, with but a fraction of his previous fighting force, went into seclusion, vowing revenge on the Count and on the new Mandalorian government that he had failed to conquer. He later received the coordinates of Dooku's location from Separatist deserter Lux Bonteri so he could kill Dooku. After Lux escaped Death Watch, disillusioned with their beliefs, it is unknown what happened to the coordinates of Dooku's location.

Vizsla was, for one without proper training, extremely skilled in combat with this lightsaber variant. He was able to hold off and even gain the advantage for a short time in a duel with Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano. Despite his prowess with the blade, however, he could not match Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi in combat. Vizsla learns that Maul plans to use him and the takeover of Mandalore as a step towards building a new criminal underworld. Following her introduction during Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan Kryze has appeared prominently during Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian too. This character's bright armour has remained reasonably consistent between distinct television series and her helmet displays particularly intricate detail, corresponding precisely with the source material.

Vizsla's torso is mainly earth blue, with sand blue arms and dark stone grey hands. The printing is of the distinctive Mandalorian armour: a dark stone grey chest plate split into three parts and covering the chest and stomach. In the center is a small, gem-shaped bright blue piece of armour. The same blue colour is on the sides of the mostly dark grey belt and the armour plate just above that of the chest. Two parallel lines mark the left side of the chest armour.However, the absence of landing gear to support the nose is absolutely inexplicable. The craft looks dreadful without any support, leaving the fuselage to tilt downwards. Retractable landing gear could easily have been included and was present on the rendition from 2012 so I am very disappointed by its omission. Instead, the vessel rests on 1x3 double-inverted slopes which are completely inadequate. there are 2 types of mandalorian fighters, the big troop transports and the small fighters used by the Protectors in Rebels. this seems to be the smaller kind, not the big ones that are large transports/dropships, so the complaint about the size seems off to me.

Gar Saxon appears anything but generic, sporting an extraordinary helmet which confirms his loyalty to Maul and the Shadow Collective! The distinctive horns appear slightly too short when compared with the source material, although their angular design is appealing. Moreover, I love the yellow visor and red markings that differentiate this Mandalorian helmet from others. Bazine Netal \ Captain Canady \ Control Room Commander \ Erich S.

Vizsla: People of Mandalore, I am Pre Vizsla, of Clan Vizsla! Death Watch is here to save you from these intergalactic gangsters that threaten our great city! This is a war. And we will win. Join me, and let us defend Mandalore against the criminals. We need action, not pacifism!

Pre Vizsla was a human male Mandalorian warrior who, during the final years of the Galactic Republic Era, led the terrorist organization known as the Death Watch and briefly ruled as the Mand'alor before his death. A descendant of the ancient Mandalorian ruler Tarre Vizsla, Pre Vizsla's rise to prominence came with his desire to restore the warrior heritage of his people and dethrone the pacifist ruler Duchess Satine Kryze and her New Mandalorians. Publicly serving in Kryze's regime as the governor of the moon Concordia, Vizsla secretly organized the Death Watch to oppose her reign and sought to overthrow her government. Joining sides with various external groups during the Clone Wars, Vizsla made his bids for power amid the pan- galactic conflict, but his obsessive quest to achieve his goals would result in his death and Mandalore's subsequent decline.

Overall

Resolving to remove Maul from the throne, Bo-Katan Kryze sought Republic help to lay siege to Mandalore. We are the Death Watch, descendants of the true warrior faith all Mandalorians once knew. Now my people are living in exile because we will not abandon our heritage." ―Pre Vizsla [6] You lead the Council of Neutral Systems, thus you threaten the Separatists' goals. Take it as a compliment. Someone very powerful is working towards your downfall." ―Satine Kryze and Governor Pre Vizsla, on the Death Watch [7] His legs have the base colour of sand blue, with dark stone grey hips and printing of armour of the same colour on the knees, thighs and in the fork of the legs. The thigh and knee plates are lined with bright blue.

Maul and Vizsla found a common enemy in Obi-Wan Kenobi and formed an unstable alliance.
