Mandalorians were well known to be some of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy. They were both feared and respected. The Mandalorian culture held single combat in high regard. They would often use combat to settle disputes where two Mandalorian would fight to the death. However, sometimes these fights were for the sake of glory alone. Mandalorians relished the idea of fighting fierce combatants like the Jedi.

In fact, the Mandalorians were ancient enemies of the Jedi. During a Mandalorian conquest, they encountered the Jedi and the Old Republic. The Mandalorian warriors were surprised by the Jedi use of the Force as they had never seen it before.

This led the Mandalorians to make huge technological advances to counter Jedi Force ability. This included new fighting techniques and the development of the Mandalorians’ iconic armor. This also led to the Mandalorians besting the Jedi in several engagements.

So, a species of non-force using warriors who were able to take on and defeat the Jedi. Not the kind of people you want to piss off.
