George Lucas didn't like the idea that things could resist lightsabers, which was why they made the darksaber a lightsaber. Dave Filoni tends to go with Lucas' parameters, so I wouldn't expect to see lightsaber-resistant Mandalorian armor.

Also, it's not the Outrider. Just the same model of ship. Filoni specifically said it's not the Outrider or Dash. Or Talon Karrde.

A boy can dream. Still, it's a nice looking ship, and i'm glad they're getting some use out of the design.

Only shoulder pads are allowed to be lightsaber resistant :P.

Haha, well in fairness, Vader deliberately let them go. His real objective was the rebel fleet. So that was probably a glancing blow on purpose.

Later he was so impressed with the tech that he incorporated them into his own armor. Which is why luke's saber bounces off vader's shoulder in Empire Strikes Back. :P

I just find it funny both instances of saber-proof armor have been shoulder related.

I heard about Thrawn and that made me happy. I'm also very excited to see a YT-2400 in the show. Seeing Dash Rendar would make my inner child cry tears of joy. I never got to see the latter half of season two, but the series seems to be getting more complex in its tone and its use of characters. I'm digging it.
