Jedi are too inactive and most EE would go Sith making it a server of a bunch of Sith versus 5 Jedi. That's not fun.

Mandalorians have been a well-debated topic for ages now, in the end though this server will always boil down to one thing and one thing only.
Jedi Versus Sith
I mean come on, it's not that hard of a concept. It's in the title, but when the Eternal Empire was added, ideas also sprung up that if the EE was added, other factions could be added, and the most obvious choice would be Mandalorians, it would be nice to have a trooper-only faction with one person that has a lightsaber, being the Mandalore, but it comes with issues and questions.
How would OT's work?
What's their rank structure?
What faction leader perks would the Mandalore get?
What about the lore of only the strongest being the Mandalore?
And many many more. In my opinion, if you want Mandalorians to be seriously considered (which im all for) you need a few things.
- EE to be absolutely dead with low/no supporters
- A fully fleshed-out system for Mandalorians
- The support of half or more of the community
I'm sure there's a lot of fans of Mandalorians, I'm one of them. But it just doesn't look like it would work out right now. EE may be a small faction but it has some of the most vocal people in the community behind it, and until those people get bored and leave EE, this new faction will never gain any traction.

Mandalorians is just bounty hunters, we need to go back to the good days of Jedi vs sith

I think there's also a few other issues that rise from having Mandalorians.
The idea of pay to win.
Instead of a singular person with a unique skill tree fighting you that is behind a paywall (Bounty Hunters), there will be an entire faction of people with unique abilities that you and your faction have no access to. People can easily cry that the faction is pay to win and that the whole concept is usually hated, so I'd say avoid adding Mandalorians because of this alone.
The playerbase.
Let's be real here. Most people who play EE are the same that play Bounty Hunter and Mercenary (jobs that are behind a paywall), so if EE is removed and replaced with Mandalorians the same thing is going to happen to the faction that happened with Mercs. and BHs, it'll blow up with players for a bit because it is something new and then everyone will leave/go inactive. All that will remain are some of the EE players (since not everyone is going to enjoy the new skill trees) and a few Jedi and Sith that saw how fun it is being part of a third faction they never gave a second chance to. The playerbase of the faction will levelout at about the same as EE usually is or possibly even lower from my opinion, so the whole change would seem pointless.
Mandalorians are cool and all, but I like the EE more because there are no abilities that it gains from being a donater-only faction and you can mold the faction into nearly anything you want. For example, right now we are implementing a new system to replace the Master-Padawan system we lack, so that instead of having a group of 2 people work together we have groups of 5 people train together to better themselves. We are hosting tournaments where you and your Family (the group of 5 people) participate in group fights against other Families for a chance at being able to hold the Title of being a Noble, a million, and the huge house on Zakuul to be built to you and your family's liking. This system will encourage people to work together more and get people to be more of team players as opposed to people just trying to be the best at 1v1s. It will teach people how to properly avoid team damage and the hold back, so that they don't screw over their teammates.
There's a lot of good that can come from this system that isn't available in the Master-Padawan system and it wouldn't be possible if the EE was some idea that was already made out like the Mandalorians, so if the EE gets removed I'm going to be extremely disappointed. (I know it won't anytime soon from how things are going)
