Talk:Jaden Korr

Yuuzhan Vong War? What?
Where did this whole "Jaden looks for his former master after the Yuuzhan Vong War" stuff come from?
 * Here. Specifically, the paragraph directly to the left of the screen cap of Kyle and Jan. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] talk? 20:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

how do we know he is male?

 * It says under his gender that he is male. Anyone know how we know that? Miniman 16:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The New Essential Chronology refers to him as male, AFAIK. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 17:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hasn't the New Essential Cronology been out for a long time? If it refers to Jaden as Male than why did it take this long to get into the article? 65.27.139.162 10:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's been in the article ever since it was confirmed that he was male, some people just keep changing it. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, but it's nothing like the way people keep trying to change the Jedi Exile to male. That's still going on. Xepeyon You Speak, I've Spoken 05:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Lightsaber?
Is there a source that specifically states that Jaden constructed his own lightsaber without any instruction? Having played the game, the backstory for Jaden's lightsaber seems to have been intentionally left out. It's possible he got it some other way. Israi 17:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * From Jedi Academy's opening crawl: "JADEN KORR, a promising student from Coruscant, is en route to the Academy after achieving the impossible: creating a lightsaber without any formal Jedi training...." That's the only time I remember it being mentioned. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] talk? 22:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I always skip the opening crawl.... --Israi 00:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Canon Appearance
I think that that Image:Jaden-hm.jpg is his canon appearance. In the multiplayer loading screen, you can see him looking like that fighting a Twi'lek jedi, the concept art looks just like it, his voice sounds human, and it's on the game disc.--1upD 20:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The thing is that Jedi Academy has all sorts of appearances for different Jadens on loading screens, concept art, and game disc/manual illustrations. Besides, isn't that illustration on the game disc a blonde guy? And I think there are other different versions on the other discs as well. -BaronGrackle 21:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Nowhere does it say that's Jaden on the multiplayer loading screen. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, but the guy there looks just like the Human Male concept art and the pic printed on the disk. We know he's a human male.--1upD 20:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We are only certain that he is a male, not necessarily Human. Let us pray and hope he's related to Vani Korr.  Stake black   msg 14:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * We know he's human from the voice, and Vani Korr.--1upD 20:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No we don't. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 20:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The voice may indicate something, but for now, nothing can be assured.  Stake black   msg 21:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, when will we know? Other sources indicate Rodians and Kel Dor sound different than humans. He has a human voice. His official human appearance is probably the one on the disc on the loading screen and in the concept art. Can I at least put something in "behind the scenes"?--1upD 00:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * So? That doesn't mean Jaden couldn't have learned Basic. He was born in Coruscant, so it's quite possible. I think the Bts section has enough info on that subject.  Stake black   msg 16:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * *SIGH* Yes, but if he was a Rodian or Kel Dor, he would have a MAJOR accent. Their vocal chords are probably TOTALLY different than Humans.--1upD 20:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...on the LOTF page here, it says Jaden will appear in Fury. Maybe we'll see his species then.
 * You might be correct, but that's not enough to define anything =/ And that can't really be taken as the truth, since we've never seen Rodians or Kel Dorians speaking Basic, so...  Stake black   msg 22:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Plo Koon speaks Basic in Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns. It's pretty much the same as a human, except his voice goes through that metal mask thing first. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * And Reelo Baruk, a Rodian, speaks Basic. Yes, Rodians and Kel Dor have typically sounded slightly different than humans... but that could just mean that the game developers didn't want to invest the time, money, or disk space to record all of the male Jaden's dialogue two more times. His voice seems to hint at him being human, but until that's inarguably confirmed, it's speculation. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] talk? 19:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Jaden Korr's dialog also came in French and German. I do not hear a clamor for those accents to be the canon voice. Some things just cannot be known. Karohalva 19:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * well, yea. the other languages are so people who don't speak English can play the game without using a dictionary. 69.118.103.231 17:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * and what use, may i ask, would a dictionary be? AdmirableAckbar 17:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

A TRANSLATION dictionary mabye?SargeLIVES 23:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Image
Is it just me or is the image used on the main page centered more around the Stormtrooper rather than Jaden? Giga Hertz 11:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The point is to *not* show his face, since his species aren't defined yet.  Stake black   msg 20:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Homeworld?

 * What's the source for Coruscant being his homeworld?  Jasca Ducato Sith Council 19:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Jedi Academy opening crawl. A promising student from Coruscant. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 20:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Kor or Korr 2 - Electric Boogaloo
Almost a year ago, there was a discussion about how some JA game manuals listed Jaden's last name as "Kor." The guy who brought it up had seemed to be the only one who had this error in his manual, so it would appear that the consensus came to be to make note of it on the page as being a typo with his booklet. Now, I have a made a brilliant discovery. In my manual, it almost always states Jaden's last name as "Korr," except in the "Credits" section. Under the "Voice Cast" subsection, Jaden's last name is "Kor," as the guy had alleged. It also makes other spelling errors, like spelling Bob Bergen as "Bob Bergin". It is my assumption that this Credits section was added late in production and was done sloppily to get it in in time. So, I have to ask all of the members of Wookieepedia to join hands and sing to look in their manuals in the "Voice Cast" section to see if you have it as well. --FireV 17:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Just checked it, mine says "Kor" in the credits section too. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 17:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mine too. And as far as I can tell, it's "Korr" EVERYWHERE else. So should we remove the section of the article about the discrepancy? Seems kinda silly to have all that for one typo. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] talk? 18:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we should. Seeing as it is just one of the smallest of typos, it probably doesn't need its own section. Maybe it can be sneaked into the BTS section, if at all. --FireV 20:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. It's gone. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] talk? 20:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Dark Jedi Jaden Korr
Page??? Not really, offer alternate beginnings.
 * Kind of dumb that they offered alternate endings but choose one as cannon.
 * They kind of have to, if they want to make future games. jSarek 02:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That might work for a following game, like at the beginning of KotOR II where you have your choice of Revan's alignment and gender from KotOR, however it would get too confusing when it gets referenced later. -- Reignfire (Holotranceiver) 04:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * it also allows for people to see how the game fits canonicaly without having to play the game also it allows players to choose how they want to play the game but still fits in with the rest of the star wars universe.  Dark Lord Xander  ( Embrace The Dark Side! )[[Image:Neo-Crusader_emblem.svg|20px]] 04:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Thats gonna leave a mark
He KILLS rosh?!?!? gosh i dont wanna turn to the dark side. and in the light side he gets his arm chopped off? wow thats gonna leave a mark

Fury appearance
The article mentions very briefly Jaden's participation in the Battle of Centerpoint Station. Can anyone with a copy of Fury tell me if there is anything more with relevance that could be added to the article?  Stake black   msg 01:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There was nothing more than him being mentioned with other Jedi who were getting ready for the battle. Can't find the book to give you an exact quote though, sorry. 04:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I see. If his gender is also implyied in the novel, it would be great to know. Thanks.  Stake black   msg 01:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope sorry. All it says is in a section with Kyp looking around the shuttle Broadside, he saw "Jedi such as Valin Horn and Jaden Korr among them, anonymous behind their visors." 02:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Aw, I see. Thanks for the info ^^  Stake black   msg 18:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

"'He was still active in the Order as of 40 ABY. He assisted Jedi Master Kyp Durron, Valin Horn, Dr. Seyah, and several other Jedi on a mission to destroy Centerpoint Station during the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. At this time, Jaden was still a Jedi Knight.'"
 * Where is this from? I know that he makes an appearance in the novel, and this is correctly cited in the article, but nowhere in the book does it specify his rank! As Nighthawk leader already posted, the only thing the book does says about him is that he was simply a Jedi among the strike team headed toward Centerpoint Station. You cannot read into something that isn't there. For all we know he may very well be a Jedi Master by this time. I'm not going to say he was, because we don't know. But evidence would point to its plausibility. One such example: the fact that he began (and completed) his training in 14 ABY, three years before Master Sebatyne's own master began hers (in 17 ABY).--Master Dakari 03:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

What page is he mentioned on in Fury?????

Infobox image
I've been gone awhile, so please correct me if my information isn't up to date. But while it is known that Jaden is a male (given the choice of pronoun used to describe him in The New Essential Chronology), we're still unsure of his species. And that's the problem with the current infobox image: he has obviously human hands.

I don't mean this to come across as a whiny bid to get the old picture restored... but the hands were purposefully obscured in the last one. If there are no objections, I'd like to replace the current image with that old black-and-white picture of Jaden's back that everybody hated. -- SM-716 talk? 23:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The previous image was indeed much better. This one hasn't the "epic" feeling that was in the other, in my opinion, a big loss for a jedi main picture. Kaal 13:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm going to remove the image from the infobox because, to put it simply, its has no use being there. All we know about Korr is that he was a male, which is already clearly stated in the infobox in the gender field, so having a picture of a torse is totally pointless and a waste of space. No-one wants to know what a Hoth warm suit look likes, if they did, they would look it up under an apparel article or something.


 * There is no reason that thisarticle needs such astupid main image. It will be just as informative without the distraction. And I hope no-one ocomes back with "it's better than nothing", because it is nothing, so it's not better than anything. So, once again, it's gone.  Jasca Ducato Sith Council 22:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Please refrain from removing information (that is, the infobox image) from the article. Thanks. --Imperialles 22:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * "So, once again, it's gone." How about no. You don't get to make that kind of decision on your own, and if you persist in trying you will be blocked. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Jasca, rather than unilaterally removing something you think is stupid, why don't you just fix it? I'm sure you could find a better image if you tried. It worked well enough for the Jedi Exile article. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, that was my bad, SM-716. I didn't know about the different hand models for the Hoth jumpsuit - I thought they were just the same gloved models. A quick check revealed I was wrong. In that, a revert back to the old image would probably be best, unless a frontal view could be snapped where the hands could be cropped out without a problem. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 22:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can we please unblock now? I have some edits to make.  Stake black   msg 02:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I see it is still the hoth suit picture I would like to help but how does one restrict their search to images?SargeLIVES 23:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey Jaden! Hang on, the camera is a bit messed up.
Just wanted to know: What happened to the colourless image with Jaden holding a lightsaber vs snowtroopers? I mean, it looked cool, it gave a good impression, etc. This new one I think isn't worthy to be Jaden Korr's main image. Could someone give me an explanation? 59.100.157.5 06:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

When I said 'worthy' I don't mean like 'Kyle Katarn's Awesomeness' worthiness, but of Wookieepedian standards. I see that people in the topic above have dicussed it but no action has been taken thus far. Mathos Rin 07:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

May I see some response or action, please? Mathos Rin 11:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

LS/DS Ending
As far as I know, no source has actually confirmed a Light Side ending for Jedi Academy. All we know is that Jaden is Light Side as of the events of the Yuuzhan Vong War, years after the events of Jedi Academy. Considering that a Dark Side Jaden would be far from the first NJO member to commit atrocities and be redeemed to the Light, and that the Dark Side ending *explicitly references this possibility* (Luke telling Kyle "There is still good in him...", we have no reason to say that the LS ending is canon, as opposed to Jaden killing Rosh, stealing the Scepter and eventually being stopped by Kyle.

Unless we have a source specifically saying that Rosh Penin lives to become a Jedi, that Jaden heroically defeated Tavion and the ghost of Marka Ragnos, that Jaden never turned to the Dark Side, or flat-out "The Light Side ending of Jedi Academy is canon", this should be marked as uncertain and the DS ending should be given equal canonicity as the LS one. The sources given in this article certainly say nothing of the kind; I'm changing this unless anyone has any objections.
