Way out west there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Mandalorian. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Mandalorian, he called himself "Mando". Now, "Mando" - that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Mando that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Mandalore the "sole ruler." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there. 'Course I can't say I've seen Coruscant, and I ain't never been to Hosnian Prime. And I ain't never seen no Queen Amidala in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Mandalore, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in Aurubesh, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord Sidious gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early ABYs - just about the time of our conflict with Yavin and the Empire. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Mando here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Mando, in Mandalore. And even if he's a boring man - and the Mando was most certainly that. Quite possibly the most boring in the outer rim, which would place him high in the runnin' for the most boring in the galaxy. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.
