MajinMikeyX Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I think Atton is better because I mean, he's killed many Jedi in the Mandalorian Wars(was it mandalorian wars? haven't played KotOR 2 in 2 years) What did Han Solo do? Sure he's awesome and very skilled, but Atton is just that much more skilled. Tell me your guy's opinions!
Great Scott! Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Han Solo, because of his evolution from scoundrel to hero, not to mention his reputation of being the scoundrel!
MajinMikeyX Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Han Solo, because of his evolution from scoundrel to hero, not to mention his reputation of being the scoundrel! You have a really good point there, I was thinking of combat skill alone, not too much of their character, the 2 start out as their cocky, arrogant selves, but Han is the only one I can say evolves as a character from scoundrel to hero, while Atton does get better, but he does keep that scoundrel side of him.
Great Scott! Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I guess considering their scoundrel sides alone is debatable, however, as a character, I like Han Solo way better.
Astor Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Oh come on, it's hardly fair is it? One's a rugged, handsome, scruffy-looking rogue, while the other relies on one-liners and only ever wants to play pazaak. It's an unfair comparison; every right-minded guy wants to be Han Solo.
Burnseyy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Han-Solo, no competition. Atton just annoyed me. Except for his sarcasm. But that got boring after the 20th play through. Besides Han Solo was great. I'm tempted to watch the original trilogy now...
mimartin Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Solo FTW. No contest. Solo == win. It is because the contest is rigged. Where is Lando Calrissian? Even Han’s would have trouble dealing with the smoothness that is Lando Calrissian. Billie D Williams is smoother than an ice cold bottle of colt 45. I sense fear kept Lando from being included. So where is Mission Vao name on the Poll? I’m not positive, but I believe she would have at least managed one vote. I don’t believe RedHawke would allow Mission to be shut out even if his preference was Solo.
Astor Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Billie D Williams is smoother than an ice cold bottle of colt 45. [/Quote] Come on, people, come over to the cool side of the pillow. In fact, I agree is a great character, and he was a highlight in the LoTF books, along with the Luurrve Commander (Lando's words, not mine). But he still doesn't beat the cocky Corellian with bloodstripes.
mimartin Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 But he still doesn't beat the cocky Corellian with bloodstripes.I’m not saying either is better than Solo, I’m saying either is better than Atton.
Astor Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I’m not saying either is better than Solo, I’m saying either is better than Atton. Oh, most definately. The problem with Atton is that they tried too hard to make him like Han Solo, and that's the problem. They took it too far, and forgot to even give him a personality other than cheap tribute act. There can only be one Han Solo.
HIGH ON PIE 14 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Solo FTW. So where is Mission Vao name on the Poll? I’m not positive, but I believe she would have at least managed one vote. I don’t believe RedHawke would allow Mission to be shut out even if his preference was Solo. Make that two. She would have got my heavily biased vote, just cause she is my favorite character from thte game. I guess Han Solo gets my vote, as he is the original scoundrel. Though, if Lando were in this poll I admit I would have voted for him. Using his scoundrel skills to make a business on Bespin - now thats impressive. Not to mention Billie D. Williams. @Astor_Kaine: quite true, they tried too hard with him. That was probably why he was originally cut from the game. I'm not saying Atton didn't have a few funny moments, but they got real old real quick. That and his pazaak addiction...got a few issues to work out there. Solo FTW! ~HOP
JCarter426 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Atton really isn't a scoundrel. He's more like a wise-cracking, pazaak-playing, Sith assassin turned pilot who spends so much time lying to everyone else that he doesn't even know who he is anymore.
Darth_Yuthura Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 My vote... if she were on the list... Mission Vao. Although Solo beats Rand in almost every way, I really like the Twi'lek better than the two on the list. Although Han is amusing and a 'realistic' type of guy, I really like the street rat who's skills and talent extend to the point of rivaling a force-sensitive's abilities. Han, more or less, is a fighter. Mission is clever for her age and is much more impressive as a survivor who gets by without a ship and without the means to blast her way out of every situation. Although she treat Big Z like a doorman, I like her cheerful spirit above the cockyness of Solo or the thoughtlessness of Rand.
Corinthian Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Let me see...Carth the Second, only whinier with an even more tragic backstory, or Han Solo, the second manliest man in the Galaxy, with a quick-draw and the fastest freighter in the galaxy despite the dilapidated appearance...gee. That's a bloody tough one.
MajinMikeyX Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 I think as a fighter, Atton(as he explained) would be better off since he's killed lots of jedi, but overall character would of course be Han Solo. This answer regarding Solo was obvious and I didn't even need to put that down until now. But I am very surprised for the number of Mission Vao fans out there... you guys may like her, but I thought she was too annoying, and wouldn't shut up about being mature for her age, I myself liked Canderous and Jolee. T3 can go die, he didn't do anything useful after he unlocked the sith base EDIT: 'as he explained' I meant what he tells you in his stories, and from that info, he sounds pretty bad*** for a regular person to murder jedi
HIGH ON PIE 14 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Well, if you listen to Atton's story, he does not just run upnd start killing jedi. He poinsons them, gases them, and guns down their allies. Hhe realized that you can't expect to beat a jedi with a blaster. That is his great strength I think. Yeah, Mission does have a rather large following. (of which I am a part of) I mean, she is pretty mature for 14. To be able to survive in the Lower City of Taris for as long as she did, you have to be mature. ~HOP

To be able to survive in the Lower City of Taris for as long as she did, you have to be mature. To me, yeah, she knows how to get by pretty good,(with assistance from her muscle-Zaalbar) But she's pretty childish, 1 crack and she gets all worked up about it. I don't mean she's bad by all of this I'm saying, it's just I like the other characters alot more(except T3 and Juhani-they suck)
SW01 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Solo, without doubt. Rand may have killed a few Jedi, but then again so did a droid! What did Solo do? Escaped from the first Death Star; aided in the assault on the first Death Star (blew up TIEs saving Skywalker's behind and letting him take the shot); evaded capture by an Imperial fleet; led an assault on an Imperial base on Endor...and that's just the movies! I agree, though, that Calrisian could give Solo a good run for his money, but they both just leave Atton in the dust!
Darth_Yuthura Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 But I am very surprised for the number of Mission Vao fans out there... you guys may like her, but I thought she was too annoying, and wouldn't shut up about being mature for her age, I myself liked Canderous and Jolee. I found that she wasn't annoying. She WAS very mature for her age. Despite being a pest, she was wise for her age. Her age attitude only extended when she was regarded as a kid... not unless she's addressed as such. The difference between Han and Atton also gets to the issue that Rand becomes a jedi, but Han is not force sensitive. I would assume that Atton was not a scoundrel for most of his life. More like he was a drifter while Solo had a life planned to come out on top. Mission and Solo were more alike because they don't become jedi.
Corinthian Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Lando could never take Han in a fight, but Lando could frankly con Atton and Han both out of their ships and be gone before they even realized that Lando wasn't going to follow through. I disliked Mission for a lot of reasons. One, she reminded me of Wesley Crusher. Two, I was irritated about having a child on what was effectively a military warship doing highly dangerous covert operations to save the Republic. Three, her voice grated. Four, I'm not overly fond of Twi'leks anyway. And five, SHUT UP AND STOP WHINING. Han Solo may not be a Jedi, but he's certainly accomplished a lot more than Atton.
Astor Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 The difference between Han and Atton also gets to the issue that Rand becomes a jedi, but Han is not force sensitive.[/Quote] Since when is not being force-sensitive a problem? More like he was a drifter while Solo had a life planned to come out on top.[/Quote] Uh no, he didn't plan his life out. He started out as a street child, similar to Mission. He was crew on a freighter as teenager. He then joined the Imperial Military Academy. Lieutenant Solo was expected to be top of his class, and a future hero of the Empire. But one day, he saw a Wookiee being mistreated and stood up for him. His standing up for him resulted in him being expelled and stripped of rank. He then drifted from job to job, until he won a ship in a Sabaac game, and got hired by an old fool, a farm boy and two funny looking droids to go to Alderaan. The rest, as they say, is history.
Burnseyy Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Even if Mission were on the list... I'd go with Han Solo. Forgive me, Mission.
