MacTavish Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I saw this poll on filefront and I just thought it would be a good topic for the forums. So, of the characters besides Bastila, Juhani, Jolee, and the droids, who would you train to either become a Jedi or Sith? I also made the poll multiple choice for those who can't decide .

HIGH ON PIE 14 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Mission Vao would be the one that I would train. She has good street smarts which lays a good foundation, plus she is only fourteen, which I know is old by Jedi standards but certainly more managable then say Carth at 38. I like Canderous better as a Mandelorian, and I can't even see him excepting jedi training. I just see myself getting along with her better then the others. Although me and Mission would probably end up playing pranks on the council. *sticks a whoopie cushion (sp?) on Vrook's chair* ~HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Canderous, with my playstyle the others would end up showing lighsabers up my arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robondacob Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 HK. It would put his high strength to good use. I don't see why a droid can't use a lightsaber. Couldn't someone program them to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElecManEXE Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Greivous uses them. Though I don't know if its programming or the fact that he has human parts that actually allows it. If nothing else they could probably design droid-only lightsabers that use the droid's power supply rather than "the Force". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grirevous wasn't a droid, he was an actual alien species but has robotic life support systems due to an injury and Count Dooku taught him how to use a lightsaber.

ElecManEXE Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 He's a combination, but more droid than organic by the looks of it. In any case, I guess it is his organic portion that allows the lightsaber use, so its moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamqd Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Mission for sure, she's still young, Canderous is Mandalorian, they dont need or want the Force, I don't think Wookiees (Nor does GL ftm) should be Jedi, and Carth is the cynical Han Solo character "Hokey Religions and ancient weaponry are no match for a Good Blaster at your side, Kid".

What makes it so hard to hold a lightsaber and hit people with it? Nothing. But there is alot more to lightsaber combat than just swinging it around like a stick. Thats pretty much what Greivous did, but he had four sabers so he could get away with it and still be dangerous. Droids just lack the finesse, and they cant really dodge or do any advanced acrobatics. Also jedi all need the force, and HK being a droid does not have it. I suppose he could be trained to use a lightsaber in theory...but I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he should be able to use normal melee weapons too. I don't know why droids aren't allowed to have melee weapons either. So if anyone, I would have HK as a lightsaber weilder, to make him useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good would HK be when he can barely move his joints in any direction against a enemy with a saber? You can program droids all you want to do whatever, but if they can't move, they're no good.

mur'phon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well, being a droid, there is no reason to not upgrade him. Give him, say, 8 arms, have him twirl his sabres and point him towards some badies/goodies and watch the carnage:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Cuz that worked real well for Grievous. How long did he last against Obi-wan again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Who cares, with 2 times the sabrez, he should last long enough to let me fry em with lightning, or choke em, or plauge em, decisions decisions:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When seeing Greivous for the first time whith his four lightsabers I was like oooh he's gonna be tough to beat! But Obi-Wan beat him in like 5 minutes, just taking out one saber after another. Finesse ultimatly beat strength and number of weapons. That and as previously stated HK would not have force powers. Although he could be equipped with a shocker and an anti-gravity generator or something...but I would say you have to have the force to be classified as a jedi or sith. @jonathan7: Yeah big Z would be quite a force to be reckoned with. I could see him being a jedi or a sith. I have a make Zalbaar a jedi mod and I have to agree that a wookie jedi = awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Stark Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I know Obi-Wan made a fool of Grievous in RotS, but Grievous did "win" those lightsabers from other Jedi based on the Clone Wars cartoons. I see no reason a droid couldn't be outfitted with a functional lightsaber. The effectiveness of a droid wielding a melee weapon is questionable due to limited maneuverability, but simply keeping it on and swinging it back and forth doesn't require any particular aptitude with the Force (Han Solo, The Empire Strikes Back). IMO Jedis are effective with lightsabers because the Force allows their actions to flow with the moment and anticipate hostile actions. Not to mention that they are specifically trained to fight with them. Anyway, I would train Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but how do we know he actually fought them. What if he just picked up those lightsabers from Jedi killed in battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robondacob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 But the question is who would you train to be a jedi?, not who would you give a lightsaber. It basically is just who would you give a lightsaber because all of the choices don't have the right stats to be force users. Thus, it is who would you give a lightsaber to. I don't want to get in-depth into if HK could use a lightsaber. I don't want to argue if it could be canon or whatever. I would just like to see it in the game.

ForeverNight Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 No the question is "Who would you TRAIN to be a Jedi?" Stats don't matter at this point, throw them out of the window and approach this like it was real life. You know these four people, you are a Jedi, and you can train a number of the four. Who would you train? As for me, Mission and/or Zaalbar are my choices. Mission: Thinks on her feet, and she is young enough to take the training without having to destroy too many pre-concieved notions. (I'm guessing that's why they take 'em when they're young... any other ideas?) Zaalbar: Walking carpet with forcepowers and a lightsaber (Or sabers.) Need I say more?
