Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I agree with Gurges completely: It's highly unlikely that Revan did that purposedly, given his/her nature and all, as G pointed out. The funny thing is I have also read that it was during a lightsaber duel that Malak lost his jaw. I wish I could find the source, but that's what I remember. I heard something similar: It was on spar with our dear Revan. Or we have too much rumors running wildly, or we're a bunch of taddle-talers. Perhaps the comics will hava answer. I'd agree too. Safest bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 From what we know about Siths, we know that they would accidently remove parts of those that are close to them. This may range from a jaw, to a queen's arm... I would guess its some kind of sparring accident as one/both of the members have the real intent to kill off the other.

Hawkstrong16 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I, personally, hope that it was Kavar who did it. Just because that would be awesome seeing as how Kavar kicks @$$ Although if Kavar and Malak had been in a duel, then Malak wouldn't have been alive long enough for Revan to off him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corinthian Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How the hell do you cut someone's jaw off without killing them anyway, outside of a medical procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How the hell do you cut someone's jaw off without killing them anyway, outside of a medical procedure? Dear, dear, Corinth. Of course they use sabers with a coagulant crystal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah, but...what kind of Saber Duelist with a brain would go to the effort of cutting Malak's jaw off when it would take just a few inches more to sever major arteries or inflict brain damage?

Inyri Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Why are you assuming it was a 'surgical strike' to the jaw? It was probably just a fluke that the jaw was severed rather than a conscious attempt to chop his jaw off -- who would do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Revan would, apparently... >_> I mean hey, whatever, either way his jaw is cut off. If it wasn't intentional, it was probably more or less the desired effect anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I doubt Revan would have been aiming for his jaw. Probably just a happy accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they use sabers with a coagulant crystal on it. Correct my if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression a lightsaver corterised a wound straight away (except for in ANH ), anyways.

Corinthian Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How the hell can you sever a jaw without inflicting any other kind of serious damage? A horizontal slash through his face would also have logically decapitated him or at least cut through most of his neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I doubt Revan would have been aiming for his jaw. Probably just a happy accident. Yep. I'm more interested in the aftermath. Malak's probably all like... *tries to think of the noise one would make without a jaw* ehh... yeah, I'm drawing a blank. Hence the curiosity.

jonathan7 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How? He tragically cut himself shaving? Well, why not try shaving with a lightsaber? Novelty value and all. It would be an interesting story to see how he did loose it, and while a bad injury I don't think it would be fatal; the question is how he would have survived after suffering that blow.

Jolly Boots Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I assumed that perhaps it was during sparring practice. Revan was of course testing Malak not only in terms of saber efficientcy but his mind as well. Taunting him. If you've ever read Emissaries to Malastare. The way the Dark Woman spars with Hett or in Tales of the Jedi, the way Vodo spars with Kun. Only this time, Revan makes an example of Malak's fury to put him into his place. An example. I find it hard to believe that Revan would do such a thing by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sourced. I think it's the only thing that's sourced...citation number four I believe. And Hasbro's cardbacks are just as canon - and that's something I have right in front of me. I also went through your flaws that Wookieepedia has just now. I can safely say that not all of them are true so I'm not sure what exactly you mean (or maybe I can; a website that anyone can edit is just asking for trouble though I can't relate with your objections). No Ravager-class anywhere. Talia is still at simply Talia. Carth isn't called commander in his article. Doesn't say that Corrun Falt doesn't appear. I just didn't go through the character notability since I'm lost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blix Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I always wondered about Malak's jaw wound, I figured it happened when he betrayed Revan and lost it during the fight (but then it doesn't make any sense since Revan and Malak were on different ships at the time.) Maybe a frag mine blew up near his face and lost his jaw as a result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source it cites is the Databank article, which doesn't mention Revan. So the claim that it was Revan is unsourced. And Hasbro's cardbacks are just as canon - and that's something I have right in front of me. Does it say that it was Revan? That's interesting...I didn't think those cards were actually canon, though. No Ravager-class anywhere. That might have been changed. I don't remember which article it was. Talia is still at simply Talia. Not in the article for KOTOR 2. Carth isn't called commander in his article. Yes he is, around the Endar Spire bit. EDIT: Ah, someone finally fixed it. http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Carth_Onasi&oldid=1933535 Doesn't say that Corrun Falt doesn't appear. It's in the behind the scenes section.

Gurges-Ahter Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I always wondered about Malak's jaw wound, I figured it happened when he betrayed Revan and lost it during the fight (but then it doesn't make any sense since Revan and Malak were on different ships at the time.) Maybe a frag mine blew up near his face and lost his jaw as a result? I think only a light saber could have severed the jaw and saved the rest of the face, since it instantly cauterizes.
