Talk:Mando'a/Legends

Was Mando'a the language Jango spoke to Boba in Episode II -- SFH 19:11, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC) It has been requested that this article be alphabetized for easier finding. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:37, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:37, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * No, at least according to Boba Fett: The Fight to Survive, it was Huttese. --Azizlight 04:55, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Damn Tatooinian influences. Doesn't the galaxy get any bigger? -- Riffsyphon1024 04:58, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Of course not, we're talking about George Lucas here ;-) --Azizlight 05:09, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Huttese is more of a Nal Hutta influence, and since Boba had no association with the Mandalorians until adulthood, there's no reason for him to speak Mando'a. QuentinGeorge 05:58, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Except for the fact that his father had previously been Mandalore.


 * Jango does indeed speak Huttese to Boba. And it doesn't appear that he taught the kid Mando'a. You can be Mandalore without it...but the more traditional Mando'ade disapprove.  KarenTraviss 15:01, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

fanon
Warning put because of fan-made words
 * Since we've decided to deal in only canon here, any fanon words should be taken off the page totally. Can someone familiar with this do so? QuentinGeorge 00:16, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Um... Karen Traviss herself? -- Riffsyphon1024 00:31, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, that may be a bad idea: "I can't endorse anything. Technically and legally, the work I'm doing belongs to LFL. If I added this on a Wiki (as distinct from putting in a disclaimer about it, for example) then I'm going to run into trouble. There's a fine dividing line for me between editing a statement that anything that appears on the Wiki is not official, and actually breaching my contract with LFL by publishing what I've done. I hope you don't think I'm being awkward, but if I start getting too involved with this on a non-LFL site before the information is made public via LFL, then I'm in trouble. So...unless it's already been done (I haven't looked at the page yet) I would prefer a blanket statement that none of it's offical. Does that make sense?" The best thing to do would be to wait for an official release, then edit it all from there. Xilentshadow900 01:21, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, fully understood. We wouldn't want her to lose her job now would we? -- Riffsyphon1024 02:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope, which is why I've been maintaining the Mando'a page. Xilentshadow900 02:43, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Should we go ahead and and delete the fanon section? I'm itching to do so. Xilentshadow900 19:05, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)

New wiki?
Would it be useful to have a separate non-canon Star Wars Wikicity? There is a non-canon Star Trek one in addition to Memory Alpha. Either that, or perhaps there might even be enough interest for a Mando'a-specific wiki? I'd appreciate any comments on this. Angela (talk) 07:53, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * New wiki? By all means, go ahead. Xilentshadow900 12:50, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * The thing is, Star Trek has a lot of licensed, non-canon material which the makers of the TV series and movies completely ignore. In Star Wars, everything in the Expanded Universe outside of the movies is still supposed to be 100% compatible.  Even though Lucas was free to overwrite any EU material he wanted in the prequel trilogy, and may do so with the rumoured/planned TV series, old EU lore was actually incorporated into the movies (Coruscant, Lorrdians, etc.). The non-canon ST wiki seems to focus on their EU, while Memory Alpha is the equivalent of a SW wiki which only covers the six films.  &mdash; Silly Dan  13:10, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think a new wiki is really needed. I say we remove the fanon words and just keep the ones we know, and then when the dictionary comes out, we add all the words and info to the article. --24.247.124.158 14:18, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * In answer to the question someone asked me about separate or non-separate - not my call! KarenTraviss 15:01, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * An OOU page that combined that canon and fanon Mando'a words could be interesting (citing the locations of work and collaboration across message boards), while the IU page would contain exclusively canon words. --SparqMan 00:49, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Dar'jetii
Are we sure this is a translation of Sith, especially since Siit means Sith? Wouldn't Dark Jedi be more accurate? -- SFH 21:11, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey, You can trust anything you see on this page. Dar means no longer, and Jetii means jedi. Dar'jetii means no longer a jedi. Ms. traivss and mr. kaufman themselves made em up. My (and Tracyn's) sources are only the best. Xilentshadow900 21:25, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)
