Honestly when I read about fallen Teras Kasi Artists I thought it was a pile of crap. Then of course adding that TKAs were supposed to be a policing force for Jedi and Sith, but then some TKAs would cross over to hide among the ranks of jedi or the sith and study what they're doing.

All that suggests that TKAs are very powerful and if they're force sensitive and undergo jedi training they're even more powerful than the people they're black listing.

Sage? You again?Didn't I make it clear last time? You havent been proved right over-and-over again - quite the opposite in fact. In fact, I havent seen a single person who supports your claim. Which is strange, considering there are more hard-core SW fans here than Kreetles on Tatooine!


Now, like I presented to you last time, your need to make TKA a Jedi Martial Art stems from your deep desire to achieve the Jedi profession.. but you're finding it hard, bless ya. Your posts in the Jedi forum supports this.


Now, do yourself a favour, and keep stum m'laddo.

ok, to get back on track, i havent got the books yet, maybe will come in tomorrow. Its a festive period now so things are pretty slow.


Has anyone got anything from the comics or novels ex roleplay material? Would be great if i can get some help on this. Its alot easier to say no thats not right or thats incorrect and alot harder to try and dig up stuff to support something.

Sage, what can I say? The wall of ignorance you've erected for yourself is astounding. In fact, one must wonder how do you keepa fresh supply of oxygen to your brain. Wait a minute, I'm sure giving oxygen to you must be against some law somewhere cause that oxygen could go to serve higher purposes like being donated to orphans or something. Ok, that's cool. Keep your wall of ignorance up. Good job.


On a serious note, I don't think there is any REAL information on Tera Kasi other than the Shadows of the Empire stuff. But if there is I'd love to see it. (REAL stuff not fan fiction or role playing games)

I think the real problem is that the most credible source for SW material is the movies. And half of the stuff in SWG goes beyond that. I mean in the list of "cannon" thing list above, video games isnt even in it, so does Lucas accept TKA at all?? I mean its in SWG. How does he really feel about SWG? is everything in SWG cannon? will people be quoting it one day in a debate about validity in other subjects? Will it be valid? I assume no, since its not movie nor DK books.

Yes a lot of the information about TKA are from the expanded universe, because, the movies dont have them. Until a TKA shows up in episode 3, really we have nothing to say. But since SWG aint really valid, then why does it really matter how we view TKA in SWG? u can technically run around and claim that bleeding eye-shot is a force sensitive attack. I mean how does some one shot someone in the eye and not kill them out right by just makes them bleed? Its a gaming system, not everything will make sense. The whole TK meditation can be related to a force trance. Maybe u can claim that, as u meditate.

I think what i'm trying to say, is view TKs as what ever u want to view them as to help u role-play them, use them, or talk about them. Cause i think in the end, it doesnt really matter.

Regarding the stuff on the cantina and the girls, can you list which page it is you found it?







Sorry Windsplitter, I've just been reassigned to a new base and I'm still waiting for my things to get shipped here. Ordinarily I would be more than happy to get more specific notes for your studies here. All I can remember is that the whole tale of Karoly and Shada in the said ANH scene can be found in Timothy Zahn's short story in the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina as well as much deeper info on their people's history in his other novels Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future.


As for the Tonnika sisters... I honestly can't remember where my info on them originates, I'd have to look back in my tomes which are all several hundred miles away. I will have to guess that it was in the Lando Trilogy. One other thing, In my previous post I wrote Brea and Sonni Tonnika. It's Brea and Senni Tonnika.


Finally, regarding in the Pike sisters... Never heard of them until I read your post, sorry.

Windsplitter,


I applaud you for putting this forum together. Until tonight, I only knew Teras Kasi as a form of unarmed combat that really kicks butt in SWG. I like to roleplay a character, so I tried to play them like a Jedi would be played... near monk-hood or some sort of Shoalin Priest. Maybe what you've collected here is not "Canon", but it definately gives me new perspective on what a TKA Master is or should be. The more I read through these posts, the more I see myself enjoying the class as I'm nearing master myself.


Suffice to say... I think it is time to go see the Nightsisters on Dathomir.

Do youpeople understand that you are arguing about a fictional world and getting pretty bent out of shape about it at that? Geezus...It's like visiting a Star Wars convention and everyone fighting about the shade of green Yoda is. If proving someone is wrong about the origin of a fictional item, person(s) or place is so important to you, I suggest getting out of your room, far away from your Storm Trooper costume, and joining those of us who participate in reality.


Flame, yell, call me names all you want to if I destroyed your sense of self, as I really do not care of what a nerd behind a monitor really thinks. Oh and you do not have to care of what I think, I'm just saying what most people are thinking when reading this.



By the way, I loved the post, it was a good read...

I agree with you Noidd. I mean does it really matter. He was posting some very interesting stuff with qutoes from books and things and then people got all bent about it being "canon". It is a good post Wind but the rest had to throw their two cents in and kinda ruin it.

Not cool man. Kevin J Anderson is considered by most to be the WORST Star Wars author ever. Don't compare him to Timmothy Zahn (who is considered by many as the greatest).






Whoa man...I totally have to disagree. Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy Trilogy is what hooked me into reading the EU. He is one of my favorite Star Wars writers...and is very, very far from the worst Star Wars author -he just wrote more of the kiddie Star Wars books, which I don't like cause they are geared toward 10 year olds. JKA Trilogy, Children of the Jedi, and Darksaber are damn good books. However, Mike Stackpole (s/p) is my personal favorite - I, Jedi is a damn good book.
