Forum:CT Archive/Merging articles

It should be noted that Decipher has made mistakes with certain character cards. In the cards for Lathe and Gamall Wironicc, their images are instead of Nysad and Umpass-stay, respectively. Yotts Orren also had the same situation, his card being a photo of Klaatu. However, in July, Leland Chee solved the problem with Yotts Orren, as can be seen here, retconning him into the green Nikto on the second skiff. He also said he was planning to retcon Lathe into the as-of-yet Unidentified Kajain'sa'Nikto (vintage Kenner Nikto), and considered making Gamall Wironicc a Klatooinian from Phantom Menace. Until/if the one or hopefully both retcons come into effect, should we merge Lathe and Gamall Wironicc into Nysad and Umpass-stay, and consider them the same characters?

Merge the articles, at least until/if they are retconned

 * 1) Look identical, same outfit, used a photo of the other character? Certainly just the same character period IMO. As for the Lathe/Gamall Wironicc backstories, maybe incorporate them into the behind the scenes section, or even try to incorporate them into the bios, seeing as there aren't any real contradictions?

 * If the consensus agrees with me, considering Lathe and Gamall Wironicc's info canon to the other characters can be tricky, but here are my thoughts: Lathe's card info is that he was one of Jabba's vile Nikto henchmen, and was leaving Tatooine to see what the galaxy had to offer, and hated the slave trade deep down. All these would seem to be in conflict with Nysad being fiercely loyal to Jabba, but maybe they could both somehow be worked out as canon? Perhaps he was fiercely loyal to Jabba, but then had a change of heart, though Nysad's card does show him during the Battle of Carkoon. Gamall's info is that he was a strange wanderer, could be worked in with his slavery. And he was rumored to have sacrificed himself in battle so that his comrades could live, which might be thought of as a huge contrast to Umpass-stay's story, unless we make note that that info was rumored, so it therefore could have been completely untrue as far as rumors go. Surviving and being stranded on Tatooine is even more tricky in working in with Umpass-stay's servitude to Jabba, just another part of the story? Missing what he would never be could easily be worked into Umpass-stay's info, as it doesn't necessarily relate to that heroic sacrifice backstory. Hanzo Hasashi 23:30, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
