No official source has ever indicated that this guy is really Joanson. If it would be, I would certainly like to know what source that is. I'd be surprised about it.

This is one of these fanon things that started on the infamous 'Red6' website and some other sites have copied that blindly without doing any further research. Even more sites have copied blindly what was copied blindly before, etc ...

Hi Tasty!

another question about an (possibly) unnamed character:

This guy is often identified as Ariq Joanson, a character from "Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina", on many webpages. Since Joanson was present in the cantina when Luke and Obi-Wan met Han Solo it's a logical assumption, I believe. Most of the other cantina patrons were already named by the CCG, but the identity of this guy is somehow still disputed. So, what do you say? Is this Ariq Joanson or not?

Thank you.

Thanks for the previous reply, but next, I have another 3 questions. First of all, though the Jedi Exile is canonically female, is it at all possible that Brianna's adventures with her could still be canon? Although she only joins the party if you're male, I can't really see any conflict if that was only game mechanics and in fact both the Disciple and the Handmaiden joined the party.

Also, in the Tales 17 story, All for You, there is a Dark Jedi. Many fans have speculated that this is Darth Bane. Could you please either confirm or deny that either this is Bane or. if not, do they have a name?

And finally what, if anything, is your opinion on the solid-state hologram Maul from Phantom Menaces in Tales 17? You've said before that only the silly stories should definitely be non-canon, whereas some of the others (I believe) could be considered S-canon. While I don't find this story silly myself, some others do so I'm curious if it's canon, possibly canon, or completely non-canon?

Hi Tasty!

Is the Aleenan Senator Bogg Tyrell the widow of Ratts Tyerell and the mother of their three children Djulla, Doby and Deland? Or is there no connection between Bogg and Ratts and "Mrs. Tyerell" from the Episode I cut-scenes has not yet received a canonical name? It's a little bit confusing with these two names that are almost written the same.

I really hope they`re one and the same person. I just don't like all these unnamed characters...;)

Leland, is there some kind of entry on the background character played by Nathan Hamill in Episode I? I'm not even sure if he's actually visible, but he's been given the unofficial name "Rehtul Minnau" by Hamill. I'm sure it's completely unofficial. I'm just curious since the character appears HERE on the Wookieepedia.

Oh, and since I know that SW online fandom breaks down into groups, I just want to say I'm not painting any one group when I talk about wikis, as there are some people out there who do an amazing job of maintaining pages against constant vandalism that occurs on all sides.

It's not a min/max type debate because I know fans whose theories that I disagree with who just do an awesome job of maintaining pages and gathering info and I'm grateful, it's just frustration with the system that annoys me.

So, it's not the fine people who keep the wikis up that frustrate me, but those who vandalize them or engage in edit wars to get personal theories in. I appreciate the amount of work wiki admins and such do, I just don't know that anyone can keep out the visigoths of the internet.

Ha! Just look in the edit history

I could look at the edit history, but I shouldn't have to.

It just looks like white noise to me. To be honest, wikis are losing their value to me very, very quickly. I'm quite handy with google and most info can be found outside of wikis and better sourced than the stuff inside wiki, and with the prolieferation of bad info on wikis by everything from people getting stuff wrong to vandals...I just don't have much trust or use for them as a research tool even for recreational use.

Sometimes you never know when an edit war is going on.

Apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask in, but can anyone tell me, and source it, the number of starfighters fielded by the Empire and Republic at the Battle of Endor.

Yes, I've seen Wookiepedia but I don't trust wikis for exact information, and considering the fact that numbers seem to be among the most argued things I'd rather be sure I had a number that was canon rather than one plucked from the ether or personal preference.

TNC never says when she is released.

Uh, did you actually read it? Page 65:

"Within a few months she would be free again."

No way that "a few months" can be stretched to "40+ years."

Not quite.
TNC never says when she is released. Soon could mean months or years but that doesn't mean that she got out before the Clone Wars.
That might be an explanation...

Not to mention the fact that she was out and about playing around in Jabba's Demolition contests.

Regarding Aurra Sing: the Jedi comic with her indicates, and the New Essential Chronology (p. 65) confirms that she was released from Oovo IV shortly after being imprisoned there, before even the Clone Wars were over let alone the Yuuzhan Vong invasion began. Another LOTF discrepancy.

Darth NTM, if you don't have a real answer to some of these questions, then perhaps you shouldn't be answering them... if you know what I mean.

Darth Feroci - Try Google image search to see if it throws anything better up for you.

The only other thing would be to check things like the visual dictionary and Essential Guides for pictures of them.

Is the Liquidator that features heavily in Star Wars Missions the same Star Destroyer mentioned in +Hero's Trial+?

So anyways, at another forum I frequent, we were discussing who had more force potential out of Darth Sidious and Darth Bane,

This is an entirely subjective question and hence unanswerable.

Are they Holonet News articles dated off a 12 month calander or the old 10 month calander?
