Obscured by a Force power

Underwear 1

 * 1) I'd vote for either of these, or even for a picture of her in any clothes from the face down. I just don't like having her face clouded by some Force bubble or whatever. Kuralyov 06:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * yep, agree, but this one is better ]:-> SkywalkerPL 10:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Underwear 2

 * 1) Though I think we should remove some color. Master Starkeiller 08:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

If female Exile is canoned...
Will this article start refering to her as the canon female, like the Revan article does with the canon male preferance? And what art work will be used in the photo?


 * Sure, why not. Jasca Ducato 18:16, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes it will (I'll take care of that :)). However, Obsidian's promotional picture will probably be left, as it's the only known image of the Exile. - Sikon 17:01, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sure someone can donate a photo (or in our case, a screenshot) (maybe myself, if no one else wants to) of a possible female Exile, and then we can edit any other article that mentions the Jedi Exile accordingly. - DAWUSS 7:19 PM 30 Jan 2005
 * If the female gender is canonized, then I'd suggest using the female face that they show in the little booklet you get with the game. Whenever they show the user in example screenshots, the face is that of a blond woman.Cull Tremayne 02:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I like lightside male better.
 * Erm, ok. Jasca Ducato 19:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I kinda like the light side male story also cuz the story line with the Handmaiden and Atris is very interesting. User:24.209.197.137 20:45, 5July 2006 (UTC)

"Can't we just pick light side male by default until it's decided by an official source?" -MPK


 * well, apparently its confiermed as canon, hes a female :P we need to sort the article and pic out. Jedi Dude 20:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Jedi Dude: where at? Randy Starkiller 20:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Look at the bottem of this page, apparently its in the New Droids guide. Jedi Dude 20:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like confirmation from someone besides an anon before we change anything. - Lord Hydronium 20:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * well, it looks like hes defoo a she. Jedi Dude 11:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, in the opening, Sion says that the Exile is "one last Jedi who has yet to choose HIS true role in the galaxy." Jedi Striker 22:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC) (actually added by User:24.209.197.137)
 * What opening? - Sikon [ Talk ] 08:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, dude, the opening of the game, where Sion tells, "We have all but destroyed the Jedi Knights. The Old Republic is crippled..." That opening, remember? --User:24.209.197.137, 20:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sion never ever says that. The correct line is "And now you run in search of the Jedi. They are all dead. Save one. And one broken Jedi cannot stop the horror that is to come." If Sion did say that, please give me the location and I'll look it up. Though it will prove fruitless since it might either be that you aren't setting Exile to female or the devs forgot to an extra line where he says "her". They did the samething with Revan. If you set Revan to female, the council scene will still refer to her as a male (though the holograms say different). And take the word "him" lightly, male terms are typically used when a gender isn't specified. Sion isn't going to say "him/her"... --Redemption 00:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe the user is referring to the trailer, which does indeed refer to the Exile as a male. Here is the video:


 * http://youtube.com/watch?v=A_ejqgr-7JE&search=KOTOR


 * Nevertheless, this trailer, like most erroneous promotional material for KOTOR2, is not canon.--Sauron18 01:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Not only that, but it's full of inconsistenties. The heads are all KOTOR I, M4-78 can be seen...and that isn't even Sion's voice. --Redemption 01:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The trailor also shows men as the exile almost all the time. And when u pic a character the first choice is a man. I personally think that it should remain anonomous. But If it is canonized I think we should listen to what the GAME says, not the opinion of some idiot who wrote a book.
 * Hey, guess what? Exile is female. Books are more canonical than game mechanics. Newer sources override older ones. And I really should give you a cool-off ban for calling Dan Wallace an idiot. -- Darth Culator 01:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Newer sources override older ones? So what if a book was wrote and they said luke skywalker was a Female and fell to the darkside?? Then that is what is cannon? I don't think so. Flint-007 01:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Of course it wouldn't override that, because movies override all things. And the Exile is canonized as female, so we have to except it. One cannot pick and chose their canon, that's movie purism. -- SFH 01:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Now you're just being obtuse. Look at the article on Star Wars canon and come back once you understand the difference between C-canon and G-canon. Within the realm of C-canon newer sources generally override older ones, but nothing overrides the movies. And player selectability is a "game mechanic," which isn't canon. Also, cannon go "boom!" -- Darth Culator 01:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * So instead of listening to the source that originaly created the damn character, we listen to what some writer wants it to be. It's the same damn thing as what I wrote above. Flint-007 01:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not the same thing. If anyone thinks that Obsidian Entertainment or any of its employees are 1/1000th as important as George Lucas, then they have serious delusions of grandeur. Hence the difference between G-canon and C-canon. C-canon gets rewritten on a regular basis, the movies do not. If Obsidian or their fans don't like the Exile being female, that's just too bad. That's the danger of working for Lucasfilm. Game developers don't write the canon, Lucasfilm/Lucas Licensing does. If they wanted the character male, they should have forced the player to be male. As far as Wookieepedia is concerned, The New Essential Guide to Droids has set the policy for us. Any attempts to change the Exile's gender to anything other than female on any article will be considered vandalism and the editor will be banned for up to a week. Attempting to argue the point will be the same as arguing with a brick wall. -- Darth Culator 02:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * First of all that ratio is incorrect because George Lucas didn't write the book. Second, it would be the same thing if bigshot Dan Wallace wrote that Kyle Katarn was a shemale. So would we all beleive that?? No. Flint-007 16:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I was using George Lucas as an example of the difference in scale between C-canon and G-canon to illustrate why your first example was dead wrong. I'm not surprised you didn't understand that. Your second example is also wrong because Katarn's gender is cemented in canon by the game storyline, which the Exile's gender wasn't. If the developers wanted the Exile to be male, then that was a pretty stupid decision on their part. The Exile's gender was canonically fixed by the NEGD. No other explanation or justification is required. -- Darth Culator 17:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * She's a she! Thatis it and that's that. And that how it is and the way it is. KEJ 16:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No, the developers didn't want the exile to have a certain gender. SO WHY DO WE GIVE IT ONE?!?!
 * It's easier to implement in novels in comics that way DAWUSS 21:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And we didn't give it one. Look, I'm not happy about giving Jaden/Revan/Exile a canon gender but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. If we just ignored that the book says "heroine" then it'd be like sticking our fingers in our ears and going "LA LA LA LA". Unless another book says that the Exile was male (and it'd need to do so very specifically considering how he is used when gender is unspecified) For now, deal with it. --Redemption 21:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Because, and that's the point people constantly miss, it's not the KOTOR II developers who run Star Wars. - Sikon [ Talk ] 05:11, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Easter egg?

 * An easter egg exists when using the random name generator where the name Lann Darth is available.

Could anyone explain why this is an easter egg? "Darth" as a last name may be peculiar, but I'd hardly go so far as to call that an easter egg. Is the name supposed to resemble a better known one? 82.92.119.11 14:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

DS picture
Can we get the promotional picture of the DS male Exile? It looks just like the one in the article, but the opposite. I think that would fairly portray the two possibilites offered by the game. Varas Halcyon 12:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

nickname tag
Does anyone think this artical quaifies for a " " tag? His name was not "Jedi Exile" however he is called that IU LTIC so it doesn't quaifis for a " " tag.
 * For all we know his name might have been "Jedi Jospeh Exile" or some strange name like that. We could, but i don't really mind either way. Jasca Ducato 18:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Jedi Exile was NOT called "Jedi Exile" IU. - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Erm, seeing as thats what Darth Sion calls him, he is called it IU. Jasca Ducato 19:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So add the tag?
 * In-game characters speaking English call him Exile, but I am not sure about Jedi followed by Exile. As in the first game, only aliens call him with the custom name. I vote for the tag anyway MoffRebus 01:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't get why this article is called 'Jedi Exile'. That name may be more self-explanatory, but in the game the character is almost exclusively called just the "Exile". (see Wookieepedia:Naming conventions)--Sentry 01:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * To repeat: in-game, he is just called "the exile". Without capitalization. - Sikon [ Talk ] 02:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And capitalization is relevant why? In any case, the title of the article has be capitalized because the word exile would, in this context, be used as a proper noun.--Sentry 03:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Why not rename the article "The General." Sure there were lots of Jedi Generals, but given in context, it would be easily recognized. You would also be able to remove the nickname tag. My suggestion to Mr. Che is that The General be made official canon. Revan was easier to do, as the name the player chose was chalked up to a reprogrammed identity. The Exile doesn't have amnesia, so you can't blame the player chosen name on that.--PhilCarr 15:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah. It's always been the Exile. Thats the way he is always referred to. General is only by Bao-Dur. Exile is by Atton, Kreia, Vrook, Zez, Grenn. That's the way he is mostly known as. The Exile. Plus, calling someone Exile just sounds cooler. "This is your gift to the galaxy, Exile..." --Redemption 23:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

--BHRamsay 18:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)== Exile confirmed as female ==

I just picked up the New Essential Guide to Droids, and in it, a number of references are made to the Jedi Exile (such as in the entries for the T3 series and HK series). In all of them, the --BHRamsay 18:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Exile is referred to as female. This seems as good of a confirmation as any that the Exile is canonically female. Also, it consistently refers to her as a "heroine" - seemingly implying that the light side ending is canon, though that's not definite. - 15:30 CDT, 28 June 2006
 * About to make some edits to clear this problem up. - Breathesgelatin 00:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Three NEGD quotes (emphasis mine):

"Five standard years later, T3-M4 reappeared aboard the abandoned freighter Ebon Hawk, where he fell into the company of the heroine known only as the Jedi Exile.''"

"HK-47 teamed up with the heroine known as the Jedi Exile to battle a trio of Sith Lords."

"G0-T0 soon became mixed up with an exiled Jedi Knight and her mission to destroy the Sith Lords."

I'm not really interested in that era, and I've never played the games. But that looks pretty much like a deliberate editorial decision to me. -- Darth Culator 00:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Full clearance to change all "he"s to "she"s? And get Disciples bio filled out? --Redemption 01:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This is great, now maybe some of the fans who were mad that Revan wasn't awoman will drop it now, I approve of the Exile being a female, even myself being a guy. User:RushinSundaws 9:14 27, June 2006
 * Actually, I have no intention of dropping it. Exile could have gone either way for me but I couldn't stand the Male Revan story. Revan/Bastila reminded me of the horrors of the AOTC romance. --Redemption 02:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I'm not happy, because it looks like that's the only thing they thought of, not how it contributes to the story. The Handmaiden has gone from a woman who learned of her Jedi heritage, broke her oath, forsook her master and sisters for the Exile, and later was forced to fight them to...just some woman.  Atris isn't the woman who battled feelings for the Exile only to feel betrayed when he left, she's just got some sort of grudge.  I have nothing against female heroes, and agree we need more, I just don't think this was the best choice for one.  Ah well, what's done is done. - Lord Hydronium 02:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * YAY!!!!! For now, use Template:Exile. Also, it's good to see that they adopted "Jedi Exile", which was originally a fan nickname - hailing from IMDB, if I'm not mistaken. - Sikon [ Talk ] 05:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, there's a plus side to this. That's a damn funny template. - Lord Hydronium 06:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Except Atton was actually referring to Revan... but I think nobody cares. - Sikon [ Talk ] 06:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I would favour a female Exile just because it removes the slightly surreal concept that every single person in the galaxy either falls to the dark side or is redeemed to the light because they fall in love with The Exile. - BHRamsay 18:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now if they would only have a story where a character actually does fall to the Dark side and stay there. It happens, you know, like with Palpatine or Maul. The galaxy goes on. :-) -BaronGrackle 22:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Image
I think we need an image that a) embellishes that Exile's female and b) obscures her face. Like this one (example, sucks). - Sikon [ Talk ] 08:23, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Why not have a picture of her wearing a mask from the game?--Dil 10:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it would look horrible, I think. Someone can try it, though. -Sikon [ Talk ] 11:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Do we want similar thing as we have on Jaden Korr? QuentinGeorge 11:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * yes, but how could we make sure that the figure looks femanine? is it now confirmed that the exile is female yer? Jedi Dude 11:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Look up - Kwenn 11:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I like that picture, if only becasue it would appear to have the head of my all time favourite version the Exile from all the different times I've played through KotOR II, I think maybe the best way of doing it would be to try and get a pic of the Exile from behind, and then just crop the head off, I'd recommend doing it with Jedi Master robes, they look pretty good. Basically, do the same thing as Jaden Korr. 95 Headhunter 13:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we should keep regular Jedi robes, simply because that's what Exile wears for the trial flashback. Also, why show her from behind if the head gets cut anyway? - Sikon [ Talk ] 15:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * i dont think female exile is the way to go. all the jealousy of handmaiden and visas is gone and the interactions with people from your past make more sense as a male. the game trailer shows the exile as a male, plus the exile "jesus"head is really cool.
 * well thats nice to know anon, but shes a she, its canon. back to the picture, what are we gonna do? theres no point in cropping the head off, it won't look very good, we need to get a Jaden shot. Jedi Dude 16:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just take a random appearance. There is no reason to hide the face; it just makes it look stupid. -MPK

I suggest these. I'm not joking, we now that she wore this on Peragus. Killik Brain 20:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunatly we don't know if the Exile was a white, black, asian, or hispanic woman. --Redemption 20:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Face it, the Exile's appearance will probably never be specified by an official source. Just get a screenshot that doesn't hide her face and go with it.-MPK
 * By doing that we'd be declaring that face canon, which would violate the policy. -Redemption 21:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, it would be far better to have no image than an image that sucks. -MPK
 * Okay. Go get an image that is so much better then anything shown. Since so far, all you've done is complain without contributing anything useful. --Redemption 21:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I don't have to do better to be able to complain. -MPK
 * You didn't need to tell us that for us to know...--Redemption 22:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The solution is to desaturate the second underwear image to almost greyscale level just like it was done in the Jaden Korr page and there will be no issues of canonicity. It's not like there are options for obese, ematiated, or one-legged Exile... The model of the Exile is the one shown in the picture, we're 101% sure she wore that while on Peragus (well, didn't wear anything actually), and without color we won't be able to see if she's white, black, blue, or green. That IS the Exile's ass no matter what. --Master Starkeiller 21:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, that's up to everyone else if they want a desaturated image of the Exiles back or a full color one with the head simply blocked off by her hand or something. Either way is fine by me. -Redemption 21:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but the desaturated back shot is the only way to deal with issues of racial identity and clothing at a particular time. It's indisputable. The only problem with it would be that it would make Wookieepedia look like a sexist site. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/3.gif --Master Starkeiller 21:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * MPK, your not even a member, so you can harly blame us for being sceptical of you, your critisim isn't useful, its just pure complaining. so either suggest how it can be improved, make your own picture or stop moaning. Jedi Dude 22:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually he is a member. (whom so kindly decided to mock me on his userpage...)--Redemption 22:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I prefer this one, the third picture in the top row. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm... I'm sorry, but we're not actually going with an underwear shot, are we? Shall we go ahead and change the pic of Leia Organa Solo to one in her golden bikini? :-) For what it's worth, I agree with Silly Dan on favourite shot--there's just something hokey about obscuring a person's face with a Force power. -BaronGrackle 22:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree about the obscurings: they're too obvious and silly. The underwear shots are subtle and I like the angle. The only problem...she's in her knickers. Something like this with clothes would be great. Bookwormdarlin 06:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Why don't we get a pic of the Exile in the spacesuit while walking outside Peragus? MoffRebus 08:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That'd be goofy. [[Image:Animated Sith.gif]]  Master Starkeiller talk
 * Well, it would have to be something that hides her completely, since we don't know her skin color or hairdo or eye color or... Maybe we could go for a Jaden-solution like they did in Jaden Korr. KEJ 09:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If I may make a suggestion, why don't we find a picture that shows various possible faces for the Exile? 11:42, 29 June 2006
 * because we don't want mutiple shots? they'd take up alot of room we really do need a Jaden Kor type shot, that eliminates the custom elements of the exile but shows what we do know, the blue blade and the robes from the flashback. And that pic with the force thng does look dodgy im agreeing on that. Jedi Dude 17:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In reading this debate I am starting to realize the real value in Bioware clothing Revan in full helmet and all conceling cloak. BHRamsay

Canon Male
Who keeps changing the whole article up to a female? Lightside male is the canon for the jedi exile jeez. Someone should clean the thread up later.
 * You really haven't been paying attention to the "thread" up there, haven't you? -- SFH 04:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Dude, have you not been following the events of the last few days? Or are you just being obtuse? Look a little ways up the talk page, or buy a copy of The New Essential Guide to Droids. They changed the Exile from a hero to a heroine. There was a note embedded in the page source which explained this, and you deliberately ignored it. I am required by the terms of that warning to ban you for a week. I've reverted your edits and I suggest you be a little more attentive when you come back. -- Darth Culator 04:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm confused, could someone explane to me what is going on? Darth Xarcon 12:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * To put it simply. The Exile is feamle. Jasca Ducato 17:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Realy? Thats strange (at least to me!), because in the game the gender of the Jedi Exile may very. And last time I checked, the game came out before The New Essential Guide to Droids. Darth Xarcon 1:10, 5 July
 * True. But canon is usually the most recent and NEGTD is the more recent one. Unless a comic, book or otherwise declares Exile male, then it's sticking to female. --Redemption 18:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Excately, think about it. We don't obey laws set out 5,00 years ago before those set out 5 years ago, do we? Because the NEGD came out after the game, the NEGD sets the canon. As for the game having mutiple choices, thats just game mechanics. In canon, there has to be a set continuity that is followed, otherwise the galaxy will blow up! Jasca Ducato 18:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Darth Xarcon 1:34, 5 July 2006

Female!
This news made my day DarthMalus 04:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Meh. We don't need a female PC for TSL just because the first one was male. Too bad the lack of need doesn't change anything. -MPK

Well, MPK can you start signing your posts right. if you do ~ ~ ~ ~ without the spaces it does it for you. and having a female chracter helps to bring more balance to the canon community + more females may be entiched to start playing games if they know women are having there share of parts to. Jedi Dude 16:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The vast majority of people who play this game are males, that leaves many people ver angry. It's all because of this "women's rights" stuff. What do they want next? The right to vote?

why bother about the Picture so much?
Just state that "in the course of time a lot of confusion around the true look of the knight known as "Jedi Exile" has been created, so the approvedly female Jedi often is shown in variying skin colors, looks and even - genders".

Thats meeting the "facts" nearly correctly and even covers the promotional pictures, package design etc... --18:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I fail to see a reason why we need a picture at all if it won't show the Exile's face. A picture is supposed to show what a character looks like. By hiding the face, the picture does NOT show what the character looks like, which is what the picture is supposed to do. -MPK
 * I have to agree. I get just as much information about this character by looking at a picture of a faceless female body in jedi robes as I would from reading that she is a female jedi.  It just doesn't seem necessary; especially considering how much it's being changed and argued over.  If the image is illustrating something else relating to the exile, such as a notable encounter, then I'm all for a picture that shows that while obscuring the exile, but the profile picture seems like it's only feeding disputes without providing me any new information. the Ash lad 17:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I would suggest either no picture at all or a picture showing varied possible appearances for the Exile - male and female. 11:44, June 29 2006

I don't think we need to bother with worrying what the Exile's class is, since it's just a game element. -MPK 18:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * well, your first comment anon with 'genders' is wrong, the exile is female, thats now a fact. A picture is needed, not a picture with several different parts, a normal profle shot, but to do this we need to hide the customised part of the character, in this case the face. (We use the blue lightsaber and robes because of flashback)Jedi Dude 16:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What flashback shows that she wore these robes and used this lightsaber while fighting Darth Traya in the Trayus Core? 'Cause if there is such a thing, I might change my vote. [[Image:Animated Sith.gif]]  Master Starkeiller talk
 * Well, we know she fought in the Trayus Core. We know at some point she wore Jedi Robes (Jedi Trials flashback) and the lightsaber is just the default lightsaber if you do not answer Attons questions on your lightsaber. --Redemption 20:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there no part in the game when she's just wearing a face masking hood like Sidious? This would be best IMO --Sauron18 16:40 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, my objection is that we don't know about what she wore while on Malachor and the picture shows her wearing Jedi robes on Malachor while for all we know she could be wearing a kimono and gym shoes. That's why I voted for a Peragus underwear picture. [[Image:Animated Sith.gif]]  Master Starkeiller talk
 * as redemption said, there are circumstances in the game where we see perhaps, a big perhaps what the exiles robes/saber color is. thats what we need, i know its a big perhaps but its better than having a strange pic...or a underwear pic. not agreeing with ppl saying its wrong and stuff, i just don't think for an article this importent its enuff. tis all Jedi Dude 23:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well these pages have sported Modded pictures before,usually attributed as such, just find a mod that give you a face conceling robe, not unlike the one Kreia wears for most of the game. As for Saber colour Such things will be solved in time, eventually a canon class and colour were found for Revan so this will be dealt with as well. I prefer Yellow (Sentinel). It's a good short term choice to settle on since they have the greatest amount of skills, and thus ability to exploit some of the game's deeper secrets. IMOHO.-- BHRamsay 11:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter. We can't just "assume" the Exile was a Jedi Sentinel. The Exile thats the main picture now is just the default Jedi Exile. --Redemption 11:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * While the CSG ranks are (now) canonical, their correspondence to lightsaber colors isn't. Exile's lightsaber color means nothing. - Sikon [ Talk ] 12:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What does the exact opposite of the model LFL used for publicity?? In other words, the promotional male exile is in the game, which is his opposite? The female version of that one? --Sauron18 15:12 01 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Male Promotional is skin PMHC01A. PFC01A is actually, the female head blocked off in the screens I took. Brown poneytail, funny looking face. Of course I don't think that holds much. --Redemption 22:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * True, but that would be the best guess we really have. --Sauron18 18:08 01 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Is this the one which is the counterpart of the promotional male?

 * For what it's worth, the manual uses three female heads, most of them this one (the only one used in an in-game closeup of the Exile). There's one instance of this and two of this. - Lord Hydronium 07:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * WARN about BMPs, for sanity's sake! Or save them in normal formats. - Sikon [ Talk ] 09:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

HOLD ON!!!
Everyone is going on about how the Exile is now female. But if i remember correctly we previously had an arguement on this page regarding whether or not we sould add Sith to the infobox. Part of the evidence to support this was a link to a post on the starwars.com forums by Leland Chee;

 ''"...Holo-cron and crew hadn't made the decision on which ending/gender was canonly correct. I just wanted to know Vips, do we know yet? 

Not yet.

While an Exile gender determination is imminent, there hasn't yet been a call to determine which ending is to be considered canon."

This was posted on the 21st February 2006. Now my question is, was the New Essential to Droids printed before, or after the 21st? Because if it was printed before then i'm sorry, but we can't consider the Exile female! Jasca Ducato 09:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * We've known that the official gender chosen would be female since around April (I think Chee said it), but until it was canonized on print we wouldn't do it. Either way, the NEGD was released June 27, Tuesday. --Sauron18 04:34 02 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Does it matter? Only the release date does. - Sikon [ Talk ] 09:37, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What? Anyways, it's official, that was the point, so this point has essentially been adressed.--Sauron18 04:40 02 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The point is Sauron that, if it had been printed before 21 February then we would still have to consider the Exile male. Jasca Ducato 17:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And my point is, February was a very long time ago, both the book and the decision to make it female were "recent" in comparisson, that's all I was saying. --Sauron18 12:15 02 July 2006 (CDT)
 * No, Jasca Ducato, we wouldn't. Because Leland Chee's comment is just that, a comment, and the NEGD is an official source. Also there's no way Exile's gender would sneak in without Lucasfilm's approval. - Sikon [ Talk ] 17:17, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you even pay attention to what other people say? Jasca Ducato 18:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter anyway, since NEGD was released AFTER that statement. So said statement is now nullified. Besides, I believe whichever VIP it was who was campaigning for the Female Exile thing noted, a coupla months ago, that the gender would be set in a forthcoming publication - Kwenn 18:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Alignment
The Exile is described as a heroine in the NEGTD. Malachor is said to have been destroyed; this only occurs in the light side ending. The canonical ending is, therefore, light side. - Lord Hydronium 09:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC) "..Holo-cron and crew hadn't made the decision on which ending/gender was canonly correct. I just wanted to know Vips, do we know yet?" "Not yet." "While an Exile gender determination is imminent, there hasn't yet been a call to determine which ending is to be considered canon."
 * Yea, but the Exile was described as a hero in previous books and look how that turned eout. Look at the archived history of this talk page and you'll see. Jasca Ducato 09:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it turned out that it was confirmed in this book. I fail to see how that negates it.  And that doesn't address the Malachor point. - Lord Hydronium 09:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hero can also be used for female beings, and thus causes no problems. The Exile is female and was a light sider. If you attempt to revert the page a further time then you will be breaking the three revert rule and I will be forced to ban you. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 09:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Erm, no i will not be breaking the three revert rule, because my reverts are correct. It doesn't decide whether the Exile was light side or dark side because, as Chee has said, it has yet to be decided and "will not be decided in the near future" (i think that's it). As for Malachor, i don't have a clue what your talking about! Jasca Ducato 09:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Jasca, I'm afraid you're incorrect. This clearly establishes the Exile as LS. QuentinGeorge 09:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

- Leland Chee

While I want to see an LS Exile, I think the word "heroine" isn't sufficient. I previously thought that the NEGD proved that Exile was LS by confirming that Malachor V was destroyed - something that only occurs in the LS ending - but now it seems that there's nothing in the book said about its fate, except that it was the place where the HKs destroyed G0-T0. - Sikon [ Talk ] 09:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * There you have it, the Exiles alignment has not been determined. No i would revert it again but seeing as you'd proably ban me for illegal reasons i will not, unless it isn't done soon. Jasca Ducato 09:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It was to be decided in the future, as it has now in the New Essential Guide to Droids. You will be breaking the three revert rule and I will ban you, as your edits are based on old, false information. Additionally, the NEGtD states that Malachor V was destroyed...this happens only in the light side ending, as the planet survives in the dark side ending. More proof that the light side ending is correct. As I have said...change it again, and I will ban you. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 09:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Show me a quote saying it was to be decided and i'll relent. But until then... Jasca Ducato 09:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The VIP's at that time said "not yet" and that there "hasn't been a call yet". That statement, however, was several months ago, before the New Essential Guide to Droids was published. As it has now been published, and the Exile is called a heroine, she is now a light sider. Try asking the question to the VIP's again, and I guarantee you that they'll say she was light side now. And once more, you have failed to address the Malachor V issue. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 09:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * As for the Malachor V issue, if the book supports a LS ending (which doesn't make it canon, seeing as they called the Exile a male in previous books) it would say that. They're not stupid enough to put contradicting infomation in their workings. They're not gointg to call the Exile a hero of the Republic and then say that she wen't on to become DLOS! are they? Jasca Ducato 09:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And if what Sikon just said is anything to go by then we cannot hold the book in any contempt whatsoever. Since, if i remember correctly, the HK's engaging G0T0 was removed from the final game, and thus not canon. Jasca Ducato 09:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If it's in the book, it's canon. The book itself establishes canon. - Sikon [ Talk ] 09:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Romance
Since this has been canonized should we add a section on her love life like Revan's page. "Already you presume much."
 * Love with whom? Atton or Mical? Or maybe neither?

- Kreia

- Sikon [ Talk ] 11:09, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We don't have enough info to determine what is canon but i bet we will when kotor 3 comes out --Dumac 18:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Categories
Where did the article categories go?? MoffRebus 15:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? They're still there. - Sikon [ Talk ] 15:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Companions
Now that the Exile's gender and alignment has (finally) been canonized, who are her real companions? We know that Hanharr is definitely not, but what about Brianna/Mical? Does this mean that the Handmaiden simply didn't go with the Exile? This is really only an in-game device, but still...maybe the Companions Templete should be changed.
 * I wouldn't be surprised if the storyline is retconned in the future in order to make Brianna a member of the Ebon Hawk's crew since her presence does not actually cause any continuity problems and she is rather popular. But for now, I guess that she officially played no significant role in the Exile's campaign...-- Sentry &#91;Talk&#93; 22:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I still treat her as that same somewhat interesting, mostly useless until you Jedi-ize her, lovestruck ho she always was.SithPower 01:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Canon Ending
Has Leeland Chee determined anything about a Canon ending for KOTOR II. just wondering
 * Nope. Though NETD suggests LS. Considering Malachor V is destroyed and the Exile is referred to as a heroine. --Redemption 21:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it'll be LS, plus it'll be easier to explain places like Dantooine which are supposed to remain dead in DS ending, not to mention the state of Telos the time we see it after K2 DAWUSS 21:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
