RobQel-Droma Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I don't really think of it as "bad." It really doesn't matter, as the Exile and Revan are dependant on the player. I mostly agree with what Redhawke said, but still, I would consider the LSM Revan "canon" and the LSF Exile "canon." As I said, I just base it on how it would be in a novel or movie.

Prime Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 LA and LFL can make all the "cannon LSM" statements they want to and it is only as worth as much as the paper it is written on, because the game itself overrides them as it is the highest form of "cannon" on the subject.Actually, that is not quite true. Lucas Licensing (LL) ultimately is responsible for what is canon in regards to the EU. When it comes to games, it is up to them to determine what parts of the game are canon and what are not (and their proclaimed general guideline is that light side male versions are the default canon unless stated otherwise). Usually the line is drawn at gameplay mechanics (statistics, attributes, etc.) Gameplay mechanics have been designated as non-canon, and the story is c-canon (EU essentially). You could even argue that the selection of character gender falls into that zone and is non-canon. So it is indeed LL that decides what portions of games are canon or not, and what alternatives in the story are canon or not. And the game story itself can be overridden by other sources. In that sense, a game story is no different than any other EU story in terms of how it is controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I don't think there should be a canon, but if there is/will be one I hope it is/will be a female LS exile, with a male LS Revan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Man Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I think canon for all of Star Wars should be up to each individual to decide. I want Lando Calrissian to be the wookie love child of Leia and Obi Wan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I think canon for all of Star Wars should be up to each individual to decide. I want Lando Calrissian to be the wookie love child of Leia and Obi Wan. WTF??? That makes no sense, Lando's a human not a Wookiee, and over a decade older than Leia, but Obi-Wan could be his father I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Both are good examples of why LL should determine what is canon and not the people of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoiuyWired Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I've always considered The Exile as LS male. It just seems more fitting to me. I just don't see a female Exile as a general in the Mandalorian Wars. [joking]Besides, what human female would decide to wander the Outer Rim for 10 years? Most every woman I know that doesn't have the Force and is running solo wants to find a friend and go shopping, heh-heh-heh. [/joking] Well thats going to the washroom your jerk Ok joke aside, I think Exile is definitely LS from what I see. I don't mind it either way Male or Female. BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT LSM OVER LSF IF ONLY TO KEEP DISCIPLE OUT OF THE PARTY. Now, If they do LSF with Brianna in the party I wouldn't mind too much of it. Hack, with Mira in the party it would make a fun female team!! Maybe they should give the rest of the female crew a bit of love also? Brianna hitting on Bao would be... interesting. And Mira pepper sprays G0T0's love advance... priceless. Though a Lesbian LSF would be most interesting. Then again same goes for those few who would fancy a LSM - Bao sequence, or Mira HK47 sequence. As for strong Jedi Femme with its own female series... Hmmm... Secura anyone?

Emperor Devon Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Revan and the Exile's gender and alignment should be left to the individual. I've found the KotOR series to be the most enjoyable by playing as a DSM Revan and a DSF Exile, which goes against the canon. This might seem inconsistent if there are any books about a LSM Revan and Exile, but most Star Wars books aren't very good, and the ones that were weren't as good as KotOR.

PoiuyWired Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 For pure enjoyable play it would be DSF Revan (DSM Revan is real cool too). As far as Exile is oncerned, the DS/LS ending does not differ much unfortunately... I prefer to play male only for TSL though, just to avoid a certain badly created so-called male character.
