BradFu Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I wish the continuity people at LucasFilm would do their jobs. There's all kinds of contradicting data. In the comics, he seems to always speak telepathically. Even with the new info, I'm sticking with telepathy as his primary communication method, since most of what he has said in the comics, books, etc has been telepathic Having him just speak normally makes him less interesting, which is why they should have solidified it for all aspects of the Expanded Universe. As it stands now, he speaks both normally and telepathically. The question becomes "Why would he speak telepathically to people standing next to him if he can speak normally?" Ugh. I'm staying with telepathic, because I feel that was probably the original intent that just happened to not be communicated down to everyone else who has played around with Plo Koon.

MysticSpade Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Originally posted by Sith Wookiee I'd like to see where it says (or shows) Plo Koon Using a Rear-Handed Stance. From what ive seen it's Adi Gallia using the Rear-Handed, not Plo. Games may not be accurate but they fall into the same categorey of accuracy as comics and all other expanded universe things. exactly not to be taken as the precise way of events. in the sand arena in AOTC you see him for a brief moment yielding his saber in a BACK-HANDED stance my cousin and friends noticed this as well.

Sith Wookiee Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Can I see a pic of this please because i've seen the movie 3 times and the last two i was looking for the tinniest detailes on Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin and i didn't notice this.

Sith Wookiee Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Which scene specifically? I'm going to see it one last time before it's out of theaters. I'll look for it if you tell me what scene you saw it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 ok it's hard to pin-point where, but i'll give it a shot. In the back ground you see Plo Koon swing his saber <which is green in the movie and i hate that> at a guy, then when you see him the next time <this is around when Obi-Wan and Anakin are gettin onto the hover cargo> he runs by but this time he holdin his saber Back-Handed. It's extremely brief i have this movie on my comp so i'm pretty sure in sayin this. If i am wrong plz post your evidence. Also if you want to get technical Adia Gallea <i know i spelt it wrong> in her brief moments in the movie she was holdin her saber upright too. But i am sure that Plo Koon has VERY VERY brief scene with his saber this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 4, 2002 Author Share Posted August 4, 2002 If the jedi you saw was carrying a green saber....then you didn't see Plo Koon. Because he used a blue saber in the movie. And when Plo Runs onto the dropship, i'm pretty sure he's holding it normally, because i'm almost positive the blade is straight up in the air, which a reverse-grip wouldn't allow. I'm not sure about the last part, but i AM sure that he uses a blue saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 'tis blue. http://www.sithclan.net/episode2/arena.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Wookiee Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Yup, Plo's saber is noticably blue. Where are you getting green from? and the one who looked like Adi Gallia was Stess Allie(sp?) check it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Wookiee Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Also Plo NEVER has his saber Reverse-Handed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funny_dude0 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 at this point there isn't a mod that lets you fight backhanded so i think we should wait b4 we worry about something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 when u use two saber in jedi mod. Maw for some reason holds his saber back handed in his left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 thank you for correcting me i was sure his saber was green in the movie which i still hate by the way cuz it's not his colors. But i will swear up and down he uses a Back-handed stance it might not be his normal stance of choice but he does use it. And it Stass Allie, also just i got the saber color wrong it doesn't change the fact that for a brief moment in the movie he is holding his saber Back-Handed. I will apologize when you post the pic of which i speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Didn't you say that you have the movie on your computer? Why don't you find the exact scene which you speak of, get a screenshot, and upload it onto the net so we can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Wookiee Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Read the Starwars.com databank entry on Adi Gallia then read Plo Koon. It says that adi has an Unorthodox(sp?) rear handed grip and it says nothing like that on Plo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 what is it with the <sp?> u expect me to know what that is, and i can't upload a screenshot cuz i can't even post a normal picture w/o screwin up. Like I said post this scene that will disprove me and i will apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 well, (sp?) means that he's not sure how to spell the word that comes right in front of the (sp?) sp?= spelling? And i can't post the picture that disproves you, because you yourself said it's only a very brief scene, i could show you any scene from the geonosis battle and you can say, nope, wrong part. Only you can show us the definitive scene. and i dont have episode 2 on my computer, because i feel that having star wars with such crappy audio and video quality is sacrilege.(sp?)

MysticSpade Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 actually my copy is the digital movie itself i work at a movie theater. So it's good video and audio but any info on how to make a screenshot and how to paste it correctly and i'll try and do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Don't beleive that stuff about Stass Allie, someone screwed up, and they're trying to cover it up Stass Allie just happens to look EXACTLY like Adi Gallia, happens to also have a seat on the Jedi Council, and is supposedly a seperate character. This MIGHT be beleivable, if Adi Gallia herself weren't also in the movie, meaning she hasn't relinquished her council seat, especially not to her clone If you can tell me the exact spot in AOTC that Plo uses a backwards grip, I'll find it and take some screenshots. Give me the hour/min/sec point that it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Shes Adi Gallia's cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Adi Galia is the one who was shown on the jedi council, but it was stas allie on geonosis, it was a different actress who portrayed stas allie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Right, that's the ridiculous story they made up to cover, but no one should buy into it, because it's insulting to our intelligence (they could have just said "Oops, someone screwed up when they told the Merchendise people what the character's name is", but instead try to convince us it was intentional, and that it's a seperate character ) Not that I'm bitter or anything, but if people accept that, then the character might start popping up in the Expanded Universe, and LucasFilm might try to cover up a screwup in the future in similar fashion, which really detracts from the quality of the SW universe.

ZBomber Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I'm getting confused..... So was I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Yep, you're right in that they claim she's Adi Gallia's cousin, but shes' not actually a seperate character (and no, it's not a different actress ). What appears to have happened is that some of the merchendisers (toy makers, food makers) got some incorrect info that Adi Gallia's name was Stass Allie. They put it on some of their products that got released to the public (for example, on a Fruit Rollup wrapper). Thus, they had to scramble to make up a story that made it look like it was intentional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Adi Gallia does appear in the Council sequences of Episode II, though no new footage of that character was shot -- the Council backgrounds consisted of Episode I archival footage. Stass Allie, played by Lily Nyamwasa.......that comes straight from Starwars.com. Adi Galia was played by an actress named Gin, that's from the credits of episode 2. Look at those pictures, and you can see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Interesting. I guess the problem comes from the merchendise using pictures of Adi Gallia with the name Stass Allie, as well as previous mentions of Stass Allie being coupled with more pictures of Adi Gallia at StarWars.com. Either way, someone screwed up I guess the only other explanation is that they originally intended for this new actress to be Adi Gallia, but eventually realized it wouldn't fly with the fans, so they made up a new character for her. Doesn't make much sense to introduce a new character who wears the same clothes, including the same unique head dress that not all Corellians wear when they could have just stuck a brand new character into the Arena scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
