Under Saxon's leadership, Death Watch propaganda from Vizsla's lifetime was destroyed. [53] During conflict between Saxon and Clan Wren, [51] which had been aligned with the Death Watch, [52] Saxon was murdered by Countess Ursa Wren, [51] a former member of the Nite Owls. [48] The act spurred a war between Clan Saxon and Clan Wren and eventually led to another civil war. Bo-Katan joined Clan Wren and accepted the Darksaber from Sabine Wren, [50] who had retrieved the legendary sword from the late Maul's lair a year prior. [2] Wielding the Darksaber, Kryze united various clans and formed a resistance to the Empire in the name of her sister. Among the clans that joined her was Clan Vizsla, [50] which had replaced the jai'galaar symbol [54] used by Pre Vizsla [8] with a peacetime sigil predating the Death Watch. [9] Kryze's attempt to repel the Empire would lead to failure, with the occupiers enacting the genocide of the Mandalorian people and the decimation of the planet's surface in the Great Purge. Many years later, after the Empire's fall, Kryze rallied surviving Mandalorians of various creeds to return to the Mandalore, [49] which they resettled. [55] Death Watch exists no longer. It shattered into many warring factions." ―A Mandalorian captain and a Mandalorian Armorer [49] At some point, Vizsla and his soldiers came across an escape pod lost in deep space which held Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress: a pair of Zabrak siblings, who had laid claim to the titles of Dark Lords of the Sith, and who were critically wounded following their previous defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite Bo-Katan's suggestion of executing the brothers, Vizsla spared them, realizing that they shared a common enemy in the Jedi, and seeing the potential for an allegiance. 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.

Vizsla is voiced in The Clone Wars by American director Jon Favreau, who was cast when Filoni learned that he was a fan of Star Wars. The two met at Skywalker Ranch while Favreau was working on the 2008 film Iron Man. While showing Filoni some of his work on Iron Man, Favreau mentioned off-hand that he was interested in voicing a character in The Clone Wars, and it happened that the role of Vizsla had not been cast yet. The part marked Favreau's first contribution to the Star Wars franchise, [66] and he would later create the live-action television series The Mandalorian. [69] Favreau reprised the role of Vizsla in later seasons of The Clone Wars, voicing the character in three more episodes. [30] [6] [8] According to an interview with Filoni that was featured in Star Wars Insider 115, the name "Pre" is a title of stature, like "pre-eminent," while the "Vizsla" name came from Tor Vizsla, the original leader of Death Watch who was featured in the 2002 Jango Fett: Open Seasons comic book series. [66] Vizsla was given an entry in the The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia book, released in June 2010. [70] He was also featured in Hasbro's 2010 toy figure line. [71] 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] 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. In his public alter ego as Governor of Concordia, Vizsla was able to become a trusted ally of Duchess Satine. 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]

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. 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.

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! I am Pre Vizsla. 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. 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. 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.
