Talk:Wat Tambor/Legends

There's no point in that spoiler tag, the page is so short that you can't avoid seeing it. --Imperialles 15:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe true, but it's the idea behind it that is important. A spoiler averse user may see it on the page and avoid it. It doesn't hurt anything to leave it in there until we lift the EPIII spoilers. --SparqMan 15:34, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

How does Wat Tambor die (movie, not novel)--wattamb2000 7:09,july 21 (GMT)

 * Pic would be nice--wattamb2000 7:27,july 21 (GMT)
 * Pics are hard to come by. It will take time. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:03, 21 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I got one. he is stabbed in the chest!(just as I suspected)--wattamb2000
 * He went out with a scream, but was cut with Cat, Shu, and San.--wattamb2000
 * T'Bone's new RotS Cut Scenes section has an image of Wat's death. Not in the film, though - Kwenn 23:57, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Just something I thought of...
Okay, we have a Skakoan here in a pressurized "body suit". According to many sources, when a Skakoan's body depressurizes, boom, he blows up. But in both the Clone Wars cartoon series and Tambor's death in RotS, they don't blow up. First off, in the Clone Wars series, okay, a few of them fall off of the boarding ramp to the Hardcell transport. But then, Anakin chokes one until his suit just gives way. Now, maybe Anakin was able to contain the explosion, and possibly even the same for Wat Tambor on Mustafar. But in the HoloNet News in an Insider issue, a group of two or three Skakoans depressurize themselves to blow up the cage that Tambor's in. Now, it is me, or is something a little wrong here between the facts and the cartoon and the movie? Cmdr. J.

 * Actually, we don't see Tambor die in the movie itself. And the exploding Skakoans first appeared in the comics, so I'd just dismiss the ones in the cartoon as an aberration. (Especially since it contradicts in so many other places with canon as it is.). QuentinGeorge 00:15, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, thanks for that little bit there, Quentin. But, it would have made the movie a whole lot better if Wat Tambor exploded onscreen like many Skakoans in the past. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 00:17, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe they implode rather than explode? -- Riffsyphon1024 00:25, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Possibly. But then again, since they didn't have Tambor's death in the movie, we'll never actually see a Skakoan implode/explode (except for that one Star Wars: Republic issue, forget which one) or tell if that is actually what happens when a Skakoan becomes depressurized. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 11:55, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, one last thing: Maybe when a Skakoan dies with his suit on, he doesn't really have to implode/explode. The only problem with that theory is that in the Republic comic, someone shoots a Skakoan with a suit one, causing him and two other to blow up. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 11:57, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * It's the suit that causes the explosion - its the explosive decompression of the pressurised suit they wear. A Skakoan without a suit would just die. QuentinGeorge 12:11, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * But then, why didn't Wat Tambor explode when Anakin pierced his suit? Cmdr. J. Nebulax 12:15, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, but at Starwars.com, there was a picture of Anakin and Obi-Wan dueling, and it also said something about "Wat Tambor's corpse litters the floor of the conference room." I'll get pics soon. Gwai Lo 18:23, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Somewhere in the Sith Snapshots (I think, I'm not sure). I haven't looked through them all yet.


 * In the RotS novel, Tambor tells Vader he can take whatever he wants. Vader thanks him and takes Tambor's arms, followed by his head; his lightsabre doesn't actually pierce the pressure suit at all - Kwenn
 * Okay, I understand that, but I believe there was a picture that shows Anakin's lightsaber piercing Tambor's pressure suit. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:30, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * From the picture, which I messed up so badly with the links, I still don't think the Skakoans explode. Maybe they look like they deflate, I have no clue. Gwai Lo 22:36, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * No, Skakoans do explode/possibly implode. They definitely don't deflate. But, what I'm thinking is, if Anakin could be able to kill Skakoans, he probally used a Force trick to keep them from exploding/imploding. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 23:41, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * The Making of SW3 book confirms Wat Tambor is grabbed by Anakin and starts to beg for mercy but is stabbed. (The comic reveals he is stabbed in the chest.)--Wattamb5000 14:13, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh, we know he was stabbed in the chest. Admiral J. Nebulax 14:18, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
