Rendered as a stylized pair of shriek- hawk eyes, jaig were a mark of honor that select Mandalorian clan chieftains elected to bestow on warriors in recognition of their bravery. Jaig eyes were a Mandalorian sigil, known formally in Mando'a as jai'galaar'la sur'haii'se, a name which translated as " shriek-hawk eyes" in the language of Galactic Basic Standard. Since the tradition of awarding jaig eyes to distinguished soldiers first began, a number of beings have been awarded the honor, with the likes of Mandalorian Protector and Mand'alor Fenn Shysa, Clone Captain Rex, stealth operations clone trooper commander Blackout and ARC trooper captain Fordo being among its most notable recipients. ![]() When the Mandalorian bounty hunter and Mand'alor, Jango Fett, was chosen as the clone template for the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, he and his Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar clone trainers passed on a number of Mandalorian traditions and customs to Fett's clones, among them the practice of awarding jaig eyes as an award of courage. Usually worn upon the helmet, the sigil marked Mandalorian soldiers who had distinguished themselves in battle. Jaig eyes-a simplification of jai'galaar'la sur'haii'se, translating as " shriek-hawk eyes" in Mando'a, and more commonly referred to simply as jaig-were a Mandalorian sigil bestowed by clan leaders as a mark of honor, awarded for particular acts of bravery.
