Mandalorian Wars
Hey,

What we've recently learned concerning potential the start-date of the Mandalorian Wars comes from the new Dark Horse series, particularly with the recent #0 issue's "Taris Newsfeed" feature -- it states that "the last Mandalorian conquest in the Outer Rim occurred over a year ago" (or words to that effect, which (come to think) hypothetically moves that date back at least as far as 3,966 BBY.

Although too, we do know from sources like the New Essential Chronology that the Mandos kicked off their war of subjugation around something like 3,995 BBY (the year after the Great Sith War ended), but those were all the way out in the sticks -- off the Republic's radar screens -- and most in-universe sources tend to begin chronicling the so-called "Mandalorian Wars" from the point where the Republic and the Jedi first got involved, which is much later down the timeline, and closer to the start-date of the KotOR comics series. (We don't really have much info on those early, early battles, and they were largely probing-strikes against lesser worlds anyhow.)

I do occasionally wish that John Jackson Miller had been *slightly* more consistent with the literal chapter-and-verse from the video games (getting Darth Nuke-ish, here), but 90% of the rest of the time, I feel that shaking up our expectations on this subject can only be what Martha Stewart used to call A Good Thing. Either way, it's shaping up to be a very, very interesting run on this series.

Actually, I think the bulk of the conversational history concerning the battles comes during talks with Candalore, the other clansmen in the Dxun camp, and down on Onderon (the guardsmen and others). Much of the textual backstory comes from a couple of datacards that you find on various corpses in the Dxun jungles.

Was trying to track down the Canderous convo-file through the Obsidian boards and through Google, but I didn't have a good deal of luck with it; there was another hard drive of mine which bore it early this past year, but it suffered internal damage around March(-ish).

Hi,

I think I still have some dialogue laying around here and there on my old PC, but there was this one conversation-recording project going on awhile back over at the Obsidian boards...been some time since I downloaded them, but they were transcribing the each character's dialogue into MS Word format for reference purposes.

Found one of them (Atton Rand...an RTF file):

crimsonkeep.com/downloads/kotor2sound/at-jedi-dia.rtf

The rest I'm still having trouble tracking down, but they're probably out there somewheres. At any rate, it's a nice resource to have.

Evidence for the Second Battles of Dxun and Onderon during the Mandalorian Wars:


 * It is stated in the game that the Mandalorians started their "march of conquest" at Dxun, raining down their ships and troops onto Onderon. The battle itself lasts only a few hours.


 * The Mandalorian occupation lasts for a number of years. Revan's re-liberation is established in the game as occurring at the very end of the war, not long before Malachor V.


 * Much of this history comes from encounters on Dxun itself, up to and including flashback conversations and a number of datacards discovered on corpses providing ample information and datelocks on many of these events.


 * In order for there to have been a liberation of Onderon, it logically follows that there would have had to have been a second campaign waged on the Dxun moon...which the game clearly specifies.


 * These principles have been discussed and vetted for nearly a full year now over on the TF.N Literature Forum boards, the Obsidian boards, and over at the Official SW Boards, and have not been contested in any way, shape, or form before this. These entries likewise come from extensive notetaking between these groups.

No problem. Battles, wars, and political articles are my favorite to work on, so the pleasure was...well, maybe not all mine. Kuralyov 03:51, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Is Jasca Ducato an official character?
Is this character included in any publication, or is he just your made up fantasy? I thought this site was supposed to only have cannonical stuff. 121 ABY?! That is, as far as I know, more than 80 years after any official fictional story in the star wars universe is supposed to take place. It really would be nice not to have people make up unofficial characters and their stories on a whim, and post them. If you want to be included in the Star Wars universe, go and get something approved by Lucas and published.[Unsigned comment by 141.195.140.105 ]
 * It's only on his user page, and I believe you can put anything you like on your user page. It's not like he's filling the Wiki with fanon: it's only on his user page. --Azizlight 23:38, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I understand what you mean (name) but like Azizlight said. He's on my user page, so no, he's not a canonical character but i just wrote it up anyways. Did you like it? Jasca Ducato 14:18, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I know i'm a bit late, as this conversation ended flipping ages ago!!!!!! But i think the story is wicked, i'm addicted! weird as that sounds, i was up till 1:00 in the morning reading it! BIG FAN! I want to know what happens after the prison!


 * Thanks, i cant reveal much more information until LOTF is released unfortunately. Jasca Ducato 19:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

PS Who said they went into a prison?

Sorry about previous posting
Sorry, I didn't look at the page close enough. I only saw the familiar character summary box, and skimmed the character description. I did'nt see the user designation. I figured somebody was just making up their own character and trying to pass them off as one from the books or something. Interesting story, anyway though.[Unsigned comment by 141.195.140.105 ]

Jango Fett and SuperShadow
Jango was a Mandalorian, but not a member of the Mandalorian species, he was a human. I think this is what the contributor meant. - Sikon [ Talk ] 05:59, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * That was what I meant when I put it in. -- SFH 06:04, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand your meaning, but that was his 'species'. If you put it under his affiliation i wouldn't mind so much. Sorry if i came across strong. Jasca Ducato 09:37, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Sith Civil War quote
Someone asking "do the Sith have a lot of civil wars?" doesn't really relate to the article, especially since the Exile was asking about earlier dissention among the Sith. It's like puttin in Revan's "Who's Bastila?" question as the opening quote for her article. The original quote was better, because Visas was descriibng the situation at the time: the Soth were all scrambling for the remains of their empire. Kuralyov 19:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Visas was explaining the Sith situation to the Exile. The fact that various Sith Lords fought each other for power after their defeat in the war doesn't really have anything to do with the Exile, other than the fact that two of the victorious lords started hunting him down. Kuralyov 19:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

SuperShadow quotation
Hey Jasca Ducato. While flavorful, the Nathan Butler quotation regarding SuperShadow does nothing but show one man's frustration. Besides adding nothing to the article, it also advocates violence against a specific person, which is not only a violation of Wikia's terms but also something in which Wookieepedia should not be involved. Please stop adding it. --SparqMan 20:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Red Sith
Could you please cite a source for him being the First? So far, in his two appearances, I have yet to find a quote or passage that names him the first.Cull Tremayne 05:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Dark Jedi
Hi. I was was wondering why you removed the statement that Revan and Malak were Dark Jedi in the Sith Empire (Jedi Civil War) artilce. Its not a major deal, of course, but I am curious... ;)--Sentry 18:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Soiyo category
Though your bio pages are very nicely done, I think you need to de-categorize User:Jasca Ducato/The Soiyo so it doesn't show up in the canon category list. &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  17:22, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Sub-pages
Er... How do you make sub pages, that Soiyo one is really cool, so could you tell me? User: Ruffles

Re: Legacy Era Sith
It comes from the Dark Horse publicity promo of either Legacy 0 or Legacy 1. Kuralyov 18:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Screenshots
''Hy, would you be so kind as to tell me how you managed to take screenshots of the computer as you have done here. I could really use knowledge like this.''
 * Ya, I just used the standard 'Print Screen' key while working with Windows XP – nothing special. After that, I pasted the captured screenshots, one at a time, into Photoshop (you could use Paint or another native image editing application if you are really desperate) where I resized them and saved em as compressed JPEG's. Then, I hosted them for free over at ImageShack...

''Also, do you know how to check the history of whats been on a screen just incase i need to search up so info. Many thanks, Jasca Ducato 17:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)''
 * Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean. I'm assuming that you are not speaking about the browser's page history. If your are talking about searching through a history of what has been displayed on the monitor, in general, there is no such record stored by any OS that I am aware of. That is, unless you have installed a type of key logging software ;).--Sentry 22:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Tiny thing
Hey, well I saw a tiny tiny 'mistake' to call it. In one of your head lines it says: Fall the the dark side. and I think you meant Fall to the dark side. And since I think it's rude to just go and edite some one's personal page I thought I let you know about it this way grtz. Galedze, your welcome

Replied.

Apology
Yeah, sorry about all those Revan edits - that was me (once again forgetting to log in). I was actually using the preview function, and everything would look fine. Then I'd post it, read through it again and see a *glaring* mistake. It was driving me to extreme lengths of frustration. I'm not usually that bad! *cries* Honest! :'( (Ulicus 17:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC))

SW Fanon
If you like to create fanon, why waste your efforts here where it is unappreciated. Go to Star Wars Fanon and take all your fanon with you where it can really be appreciated. MaulYoda


 * Erm, I'm on that website now! And yes, I do like fanon, I also like people to realise that its my userpage and I can do what I want with it. Jasca Ducato 12:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh save your lies, I checked your talk page there. MaulYoda 16:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC) I mean come one just look at Jasca's page it's a well organized page and personnaly I like that page more then well certain 'canon' pages. Just let people be, it's there page let them do with it what they want.Galedze 17:01, 26 june 2006
 * What they hell are you going on about!?! Jasca Ducato 17:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the intrusion, but I just can't figure out what the hell (some) people's problem is with how a person makes his own page.

Hey Jasca. ...Sorry, I guess this is unnecessary, but just so you know I'm on Wookieepedia too. -Aiddat 21:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Userpage
Your userpage is really cool! The way you wrote it I could have thought that it was a canon article.  Anakin Solo Jedi (Hero to the Enemy) 16:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

LotR Wiki
Heyo Jasca, just saw you made some edits on the LotR Wikia, glad to see another Tolkien fan. Most of us edit over at Tolkien Gateway, you might want to take a look at it as two wikis on the same subject can be rather conflicting. You'll find quite a few Wookieepedians over there as well. Keep up the great work! --Hyarion 01:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Luke Skywalker dead
It was me who had been removing the dagger from beside Luke's name on the NJO page. I thought it had been added on the premise that all those Jedi would be dead by 140 ABY even if not documented. I see that it was actually added because of the Force ghost appearance in Legacy. Sorry about that. I won't remove it. --Eyrezer 23:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Question about Aftermath battle of duro imgage
Hello there, I wonderd if you don't mind if I place your image of the aftermath of the battle of Duro on my user page. I won't place it untill I have heard you don't mind. Greatings, Galedze 13:06, 3 October 2006
