Talk:Denal/Legends

Jet trooper? Is Denal a clone jet trooper? What about rex?

Substantial Re-Write
Denal, along with his squad for this mission, are no more jet troopers then Rex. Simply because you use a jetpack when the situation would require it does not mean that said clone is specifically a jet trooper. I also removed the portion about the possibility of Denal being at Teth because the novelization of the movie expressly states that only six troopers from Torrent Company survived the battle and they are already accounted for by name.

connection with clone jet troopers

 * He has to be a clone jet trooper if he uses a jetpack. Rex uses a jetpack, but he can because he's an arc captain(?) and even if he isn't who is?
 * Not so, pal. Signing your comment would be appreciated too so I can use something other then "pal".  Anyway, a jet trooper is a clone specifically trained in aerial tactics and the use of a jetpack to fight or perform other missions.  Jetpacks are also available to other troopers for assignments requiring them, but simply using a jetpack does not immediately mean said trooper is expressly a "clone jet trooper". --Shadowxander 03:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If the "Twilight Disaster" episode is real then its pretty safe to say he's a Jet Trooper since he would have only appeared with a Jet Pack--Butters4115 03:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. Rex appears with a jetpack in the movie and Duel of the Droids but isn't a Jet Trooper.  I can't see only two appearances as solid proof.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-Jet Trooper person, I just don't think we should jump to any such conclusions without some kind of real proof.  Compare it to real-world military terms.  A soldier who has to jump out of a plane during one or two missions is not a paratrooper.  Paratroopers are specifically trained as part of a unit who specialize in insertion by air.  The same, I believe (as I can never be sure what'll be changed when it suits the writers), holds true for jet troopers. --Shadowxander 01:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Im just saying if we only see him when he's uses a Jetpack then it makes it look like he's a Jet Trooper--Butters4115 03:10, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You might very well be right. I'm definitely not saying my opinion's the only right one and you've got a good point.  If he only ever uses a jetpack on screen and there's no word from a higher source, I'm all for him being put down as a jet trooper.  Just like I said above though, I don't want to jump to a pre-emtive conclusion.  I say we wait and see where they take the character. --Shadowxander 01:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

--ARC commander3 14:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Well, if he wears a jetpack in every appearance, then he has to be a jet trooper.

Canon?
The majority of this article now comes from the Clone Wars cell phone game. While well-written and interesting, I was under the impression that cell phone games like this are considered non-canon. Should this stay? --Shadowxander 05:10, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, a source (game, book, comic, etc.) is considered non-canon if it contradict other sources. And while this game has some odd plot points, they can be explained, at least for me. But I think we should ask Leland Chee about the canonical status of such games, in order to clear that.
