Wookieepedia talk:Votes for deletion/Tràkata (second vote)

This is what used to be on Talk:Tràkata. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Source?
Yeah, what's the source for this stuff?
 * wikipediea has a mention of Corran Horn using trakata against Yuzhan Vong on Ithor . Does someone know the source of this information? NJO sounds like, which is something I'm not familiar with at all. SolusKad 22:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

not quite the thing i think it is... Corran Horn's style is simply the use of his dual-phased lightsaber's length adjustment, not switching off his saber entirely.

How's Anakins slaughter of the droids like Trakata? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log) 02:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Neither Shatterpoint nor EP3 novel has ever mentioned such form as the Appearances section previously claimed. Please kindly verify whether such form exists at all. Darth Kevinmhk 03:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know Maul used this technique to crush a door lock without making noise in Shadow Hunter, by igniting the saber and immediately switching it off again, but there was no mention of this being a special technique, or named Trákata. This technique is frequently used in fan films, however, if that is of interest to the Behind the scenes seciton.DarthMRN

Where does the term Trakata come from at all? As far as I can search, it was not in Fightsaber, not in Shatterpoint or EP3 Novel, not in Ultimate Visual Guide or Prequel Visual Dicts, not in Power of the Jedi Sourcebook. Darth Kevinmhk 14:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Where in Sidious's duel with Yoda does he use Trakata? I just watched it and it is not there.


 * I suppose that it's not toatal Trakata, but kinda. He hides his lightsaber until Yoda confronts him, and every time he uses force lightning, he puts it away. I think a better example of trakata is in BattleFront II, where he only takes it out when attacking or blocking. It's completly concealed while he's jumping, moving, or using the force. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that what I just described was Trakata... --Maaul--(Send Message 16:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Shatterpoint
Now that it has been confirmed in the VFD discussion that Trakata doesn't appear in Shatterpoint (searching for "kata" yields no results for the digital copy), shall we start a second VFD or just tag it verify? - Sikon 19:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's not from Shatterpoint. Since nobody seems to have heard of it, anywhere (it also fails the CUSWE test), I think it should just go. If someone ever finds a source, it can be re-created. Would it be stepping down the slippery slope of chaos if we reopened and extended that VFD? Failing that, I say start a new one. Valin Kenobi 21:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I was sure I had seen it in Shatterpoint, but I may be mistaken. I shouldn't have answered with such certainty.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 21:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No sweat, it happens.--Valin Kenobi 21:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Are we going to VFD it again?-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|20px]] 04:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
