If Boba Fett can't take down Jaden Korr in Jedi Academy, there's no way that he'd be able to use uber-Mandoawanking to beat anyone. I know that point has already been raised, but you should keep in mind that it wasn't even a straight-up fight. Fett chased him around a huge ruined city while Jaden had another objective to complete, (destroying the weapons caches). So Jaden was able to beat Fett, even though he was distracted, and not really caring about him until the final confrontation.

...to tell the truth, at least in my run-throughs of that level I mostly avoided Fett until the end; I just outran him to the caches rather than getting involved in pitched combat. Not sure how the 'canon' version of that encounter goes, though.

Hehehe!

The rest of the Mandos will look like this; orange and blue. And, a new, more accurate depiction of Traviss. Yes, she will be Karen Traviss in this one. I'm thinking of ways to make it even more distasteful than "Talifan"!

Now are we certain about the generic Jedi? Or an old Master Luke Skywalker?

I wouldn't go with Luke. Probably a generic would be best, although the idea of Darth Vader getting pissed over the Mandos taking credit for his killing Jedi sounded funny (if you don't go with this one, I may have to steal it). Although like I said before, it might be better if this was just a punch-up rather than a fight to the death. Most barfights don't end up with a huge pile of corpses.

Havok · Post by **Havok** » 2008-03-15 04:36pm

I think the generic Jedi, or at least a minor one, drives the point home. Mandalorians of any level can not stand up to even the least of the Jedi. And Traviss's brain is a traveling cumm dumpster for Mando wank.

Darth Hoth · Post by **Darth Hoth** » 2008-03-15 04:45pm

I concur. After all, Luke Skywalker is the Grand Master. He would not trouble himself with such pitiful adversaries.

Whatever happens, have the Jedi be very calm, give the Mandos every chance to back down, and then have him go easy on them. A great image would be him slicing off a Mandalorian's armor without hurting the guy underneath. I'd also suggest he only uses his Lightsaber to deflect, not attack.

Havok · Post by **Havok** » 2008-03-15 06:10pm

Yeah. He should, like, Force pour himself a drink while slicing up rocket packs.

P.S. The red and black looks BOSS Poe!

Edit: Spelling. D'oh!

Given how idiotic Traviss makes Luke look in her book (what he suddenly forgot what a Sith is? This is the guy who studied under freaking Palpatine) I think it should in fact be Luke, in his RotJ outfit.

He should then cut a "Z" for "Zorro" in the Mando's undersuit.

Is it too late to have the 'Star Wars Kid' come in and stumble about as about 20 Mando wannabes shoot furiously at him, the kid completly by accident sending bolts back into their faces and slicing them limbs off without even trying, killing them all without even noticing?

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2008-03-16 01:01am

Ok, our cast is complete. Here's the generic Jedi, along with his "Jedi Academy" stunt double:

FA Xerrik · Post by **FA Xerrik** » 2008-03-16 02:30am

Haha wow those look really good. Did you download them together or something? Also, maybe you could use the Jedi Kid idea during the end credits or something. It's too priceless to pass up!

Hmm so it might start out. Jedi goes into the bar While Mandos and Traviss are talking to a new Mando. Jedi order a drink Mando leader points him out and shows how wussy Jedi ctually are.

Walks over grabs drink pours it over Jedis hand. Jedi moves hand up and Mando goes.."Ooo going to force push me Wimp?"

Jedi obnliges only its mnore of a force yoyo and the Mando leader meeting a parked speeder outside.

Mandos attack jedi , one fires a rocket said jedi uses force push to redirect onto him. Jedi whirls through the panickinbg Mandos slicing off body parts here and there save for Traviss and the newbie who stands there terrified. Jeedi finishes pays for his drink and appologizes for the mess. He walks out.

Newbie looks at Travis, pulls helment off. "I quit." and leaves.

Darth Onasi · Post by **Darth Onasi** » 2008-03-16 01:39pm

Looks good, but is it just me or does he look a little too much like Quinlan Vos?
Not sure if an undeservedly wanked Jedi beating the undeservedly wanked Mandos is any better..

.. well okay, it is better.

'Undeservedly wanked' Jedi? Jedi routinely pull off stunts like that and I'm not talking big-name Jedi (you want Jedi wank? Try EU Luke in COPL or the BFC. Or, of course, DE Palpatine Or Clone Wars Windu and Joda).

Why does everyone always cite Clone Wars Mace as being wanked? He is the LEADER of the Jedi and in that cartoon he is fighting against much slower moving battle droids.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-03-16 08:42pm

He also punches super battle droids flat with his bare hands, although considering what Obi-Wan did to Grievous in Ep 3 with his bare hands, it would seem that the Force can lend incredible durability.

I feel compelled to post this compilation of Mace badassery now

Connor MacLeod · Post by **Connor MacLeod** » 2008-03-16 11:10pm

Considering Obi-Wan was cpaable of fighting both Jango AND Grievous (metal-armoured enemies) unarmed and he's nowhere near the warrior Windu is, I dont find most of his Clone Wars feats unreasonable. (some of it was exceptionalyl over the top, though, unless he changed signficantly in his time between Shatterpoint and the fight on Dantooine. Nevermind the battle on Coruscant.

BTW, I was leafing through my copies of the AOTC and ROTS Visual Dictionaries, and I came across the bit where Clone trooper armour was noted to be MORE durable than mandalorian shocktrooper armour (specifically, it could walk through shield barriers that would cremate a shocktrooper.)

Given that, the supposedly "mandalorian iron" armoured shocktroopers. whoc an resist lightsabers (rated in the triple digit megawatt sustained output as per TPM) would mean that clonetrooper armour possesses at least similar durability (triple digit megawatt resilience.) Blasters would then, by extension, exert similar firepower, since they can BREACH that armour (note the distinction between power and energy - blaster bolts deliver their energy faster than lightsabedrs, so the energy of a blaster bolt
would be less than a lightsaber, whcih is a "sustained output" weapon.

It also pretty much dispels the idea that Mandalorians possessed any sorrt of super-badass armour, given tht your average Republican (and later Imperial ) trooper was at least as well protected.

On the other hand, given that we know in ROTS that lightsabers can breach clone armour, one could also just call bullshit on Traviss' nonsense based on the above, and that Mandalorian iron cannot be that strong.

Either way is an amusing refutation of some of the Mandalorian nonsense currently being bandied about,.

You're right, he does look like the one Darth Fanboy described as "the Mountain Dew Jedi." Let's change his hair so he doesn't look like the jackass who wallows in angst and self-pity while waffling over whether or not he's a Dark Jedi.

Havok · Post by **Havok** » 2008-03-17 02:57am

Hey Poe, this may be too late, but perhaps you should make it a female Jedi. Strike a blow against her sexist claims.

Oh, come on, don't tell me that Quinlan Vos ruined dreadlocks for Jedi?

EU stuff I guess? I'm just going by the movie exploits of our favorite hentai tentacle demon here.
