This lightsaber was stolen from your Jedi Temple by my ancestors during the fall of the Old Republic. Since then, many Jedi have died upon its blade. Prepare yourself to join them!" ―Pre Vizsla shows Obi-Wan Kenobi the Darksaber — Listen ( file info) [7] 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]

Mandalorian Starfighter takes inspiration from Star Wars: The Clone Wars though and contains appropriate minifigures for that period, including Bo-Katan! This proficient warrior remains exceptionally popular while her ferocious nemesis, Gar Saxon, is provided here as well, alongside another exclusive Mandalorian figure. Minifigures Later, Vizsla met with Kryze and Obi-Wan. While there, Vizsla discussed Death Watch with Kryze while Obi-Wan left to investigate Death Watch's motives. Later, Vizsla was informed that Death Watch had captured Obi-Wan and left for his hideout to confront Obi-Wan. Upon arrival, Vizsla sent three men after Obi-Wan, who was rescued by Kryze, but Obi-Wan easily defeated them. Our people were warriors. Strong. Feared! Now they're ruled by the New Mandalorians who think that being a pacifist is a good thing. They've given away our honor and tradition for peace. Duchess Satine and her corrupt leadership are crushing our souls, destroying our identity. That is our struggle." ―Pre Vizsla [6] The fuselage should house Mandalorians for deployment and that could perhaps have been achieved if the model was larger, as mentioned in the review. Beaten down by Maul and Opress, Embo and Sugi fled with Dengar and Razzi. When Vizsla moved to go after them, Maul stopped him and reasoned that, as bounty hunters, they had no allegiance to the Hutts. Returning to the council chamber, Vizsla was told by one of his soldiers that all but one of the Hutt leaders had escaped, Oruba. When threatened by Maul and Savage, Oruba frightenedly informed them that the Hutt leadership was also on Tatooine, which Vizsla recognized as the location of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's palace and center of influence. After Opress killed Oruba, the Shadow Collective left Nal Hutta for Tatooine, where Vizsla's warriors led an assault on Jabba's palace. Vizsla helped Maul and Savage force their way into the palace, where they were met by Jabba and Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo. Vizsla told Jabba and Gorga to give up and join the Collective, and after another threat from Maul, the two relented and decided to join the Hutt families with the new criminal enterprise. [6]

Kryze joined Vizsla in the dining room and explained Kenobi's absence by lying that he had gone to meditate. As Satine explained the situation she was in, Vizsla prepared drinks for themselves. She told him that she suspected someone was feeding misinformation directly to the Republic Senate, and asked who would gain anything from such lies. Vizsla replied that it had to be the Death Watch, but Kryze refuted him and stated that the Death Watch was incapable of engineering such political intrigue without help from an external force. Recognizing that her suspicions were correct, Vizsla commented that it was hard to believe, given that it could only have been someone among the highest influence in the Separatists. Satine asked why they would target her, and Vizsla explained that she threatened the Separatists' goals as the leader of the Council of Neutral Systems. He joked that she should take the campaigns against her as a compliment since it meant someone powerful was seeking her downfall. [7] Listen, Duchess. Do you hear the people? They cry out for change. Your weak-minded rule of Mandalore is at an end. The resurrection of our warrior past is about to begin!" ―Pre Vizsla, to Satine Kryze [8] Because Kryze had been present at Peace Park during the bombing, Kenobi and her royal guard, [7] the Mandalorian Protectors, [28] were able to respond immediately. Frightened, the Death Watch bomber attempted to flee, only to commit suicide once cornered by Kenobi. As Kryze consoled the dying man, he spoke to her in Concordian, leading her to realize that he had been native to Concordia. Kenobi requested a visit to Concordia as part of his investigation, and Kryze scheduled a meeting with Vizsla. Accepting her proposal, Vizsla, donning his persona as Governor of Concordia, awaited Kryze and Kenobi, who traveled on the shuttle transporting the bomber's corpse. Vizsla welcomed the duchess when they arrived at the government complex, and Satine introduced him to Master Kenobi. As Vizsla and Kenobi nodded at one another, Kryze told the latter that Vizsla had been a leading part of her official investigation into the activities of the Death Watch. [7] Hard to believe. It would have to be someone at the highest level of influence among the Separatists."

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. 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. As the Clone Wars raged across the galaxy, Pre Vizsla plotted to toppled Duchess Satine's pacifistic regime.

Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter became available during 2012 and 75316 Mandalorian Starfighter shares numerous similarities with its predecessor, especially concerning their sizes. However, this design actually represents a different variant of the Kom'rk-class Starfighter, with an alternative fuselage and laser cannon arrangement. Additionally, the distinct blue, dark blue and light bluish grey colour scheme looks fantastic. To cover his involvement with the Death Watch, [11] Vizsla, already a gifted statesman, publicly proclaimed loyalty to Kryze and was appointed the Governorship of Concordia, [19] which was legally considered a semi-autonomous province. [7] As the Governor of Concordia, Vizsla became a trusted ally of Duchess Satine. [21] Despite his deep hatred of the woman, Vizsla was able to be outwardly loyal and maintained appearances whenever with her as part of his official duties. [7] In his secret life, however, he slowly made moves to undermine her rule. Though Kryze's reforms had been popular and generally supported, some Mandalorians continued to hold onto their traditions in thought if not in deed, and the Death Watch sought to gather support from these individuals across the Mandalore sector. Using fear propaganda to recruit more to their cause [11] and vandalizing public spaces in the New Mandalorian capital Sundari, Vizsla was able to make Death Watch's presence known, [7] but these tactics had limited success in swaying public opinion against the duchess. [11]

Pre Vizsla and his new allies set about building a criminal enterprise to fund and supply the ousting of the New Mandalorians. The distinctive Kom'rk-class Starfighter appears regularly throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars and subsequent television series, accompanying various Mandalorian characters. Bo-Katan Kryze accordingly employs this vehicle across multiple series, including The Mandalorian. 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. And you shall have it, but the Jedi are no different from Dooku, and this one shall pay in part for their crimes against Mandalore. So you see, it's not murder at all. It's like you say. It's justice !" ―Pre Vizsla and Luz Bonteri [30]

Declaring himself Prime Minister, Vizsla looks upon the Mandalorians cheering their support for him. When landing, these starfighters' wings rotate upwards, so occupy less ground area. That vital feature appears here, employing exactly the same technique as 9525 Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter. The engine nacelles therefore become landing supports and I was pleasantly surprised that both spring-loaded shooters avoid interference with the landing configuration. 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.

Dramatic angles are present throughout traditional Mandalorian design and the Kom'rk-class Starfighter definitely maintains that style. This distinctive vessel occupies both starfighter and transport roles and is surprisingly large onscreen, hence the LEGO creation has necessitated certain compromises. Nevertheless, this model captures an appropriate shape and measures 31cm in length, which is relatively substantial. After Maul's cybernetic legs were completed, Vizsla sent one of his underlings to bring the Sith to a tent containing a makeshift dining table. When Maul entered the tent, Vizsla removed his helmet and told him that he was there in time for tea. Vizsla invited Maul to sit with him and poured him a cup of Cassius tea. Maul noticed the marking on Vizsla's helmet and inquired what it represented, and Vizsla responded that it was the sign of Clan Vizsla, then proceeded to introduce himself. Rising from his seat, Vizsla began proselytizing about the Death Watch, telling Maul that he and his followers were descendants of the true warrior faith of the Mandalorians. Growing angry as he described his hatred of Duchess Satine and the New Mandalorians, Vizsla slammed his helmet onto a table and informed Maul that the Death Watch's struggle was with Kryze's administration for crushing the Mandalorian soul and identity. Maul asked Vizsla why he waited to oust the New Mandalorians if they were as weak as he described, and Vizsla answered that it was because Kryze had allies such as Kenobi. [6] In his public alter ego as Governor of Concordia, Vizsla was able to become a trusted ally of Duchess Satine.They could not engineer all this. The problem has clearly grown much larger than we thought, and I suspect some external force helped it along." Vizsla had the brothers transported to the Death Watch's encampment on Zanbar, where Maul was outfitted with new cybernetic legs to replace the crude, makeshift prosthesis crafted for him by the Nightsister matriarch Mother Talzin, and Savage provided with an artificial substitute for the arm severed by Obi-Wan Kenobi's blade. Maul and Vizsla found a common enemy in Obi-Wan Kenobi and formed an unstable alliance. Unfortunately, this construction method inevitably leaves the underside of plates exposed. The same problem has impacted other sets, although this example is especially bothersome as the landing configuration clearly shows the underside of each wing. That significantly detracts from the starfighter, but I am unsure how this issue could have been rectified without weakening the structure or dramatically increasing the cost.
