Solbe M'ko Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 What's the real deal with Darth Maul? Are Iridonians and Zabrak the same, or is there actually a difference? When did "Zabrak" replace "Iridonian" as Maul's race? I'm just a confused sad little man who needs some guidance....
ZBomber Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 As I always knew... Maul was always a Zabrak.... Never heard of the other species.....
Solbe M'ko Posted June 24, 2003 Author Posted June 24, 2003 Well, he was born on Iridonia either way, I think. It's just that some sources suggest that he was of the Iridonian race, whiles others say Zabrak. http://www.starwars.com say he's Zabrak, but some earlier publications suggest Iridonian. Is this an EU mix up? Was he changed after the fact?
Antilles_CL Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Yeah, my thoughts exactly..He's Zabrak but a differnt varioation possibly?
ET Warrior Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Darth Maul is a Zabrak from Iridonia. This is all you need to know
Skate Boy Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I think it's just different races. Like Asian is a different race than American, but they're both human. Iridonian is just a race of Zabrak. I think.....
Reb Starblazer Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Skate boy probably put out the best analogy, but pretty much everyone else is right as well. To use another analogy, all terriers are dogs, but not all dogs are terriers. All Iridonians are Zabraks, but not all Zabrak's are Iridonian. The Zabrak homeworld is Iridonia, but a long time ago in the Star Wars galaxy the Zabrak species discovered space/interstellar travel. One of the first species to actually. So they set out on their way in the galaxy, eventually colonizing other planets and claiming them for the Zabrak species. There are slight differences between the different groups of Zabraks that settled on the different planets, different horn patterns, different skin tones, different "races" of Zabraks. Let's just say a certain Zabrak was born on the colony world named Blahdonia. He would then be a Blahdonian Zabrak, still a Zabrak, just not an Iridonian Zabrak. Apparently sometimes they just drop the Zabrak part from the title, calling themselves Iridonian, or Blahdonian for example. Maul was born on Iridonia, hence he is an Iridonian Zabrak. Also, the Jedi Council member Eeth Koth was born on Nar Shaddaa, but because both of his parents were Iridonian he is considered one as well. Now, in the scheme of things, most likely it is an EU screwup, and their whole Iridonian or other Zabrak story is just their way of trying to cover their arses.
C'jais Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I wouldn't recommend taking the EU so seriously. I wouldn't recommend taking Star Wars so seriously, in fact.
