Talk:HK-47

Just to clear up some confusion about HK's creation; HK himself says that he was created shortly after Revan and Malak "began [their] war to conquer the galaxy". That is, after the Mandalorian Wars. However, he was sent to assassinate "Mandalore". I don't know who this Mandalore was supposed to be, but we know Mandalore the Ultimate had already been killed at Revan's hands. It's possible that this new Mandalore was attempting to rally the defeated clans as Canderous would later do. Bear in mind that there are also a few pretenders to the Mandalore title running about during KotOR itself, too. Either way, it's stated explicitly that HK was built after the Mandalore Wars. --Fade 09:06, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * I'd always seen Revan as having fallen sometimes during the wars, and thus his "war to conquer the galaxy" having begun secretly during that time. This allowed for HK-47s construction as WELL as being sent after Mandalore. In KotOR 2 however, it IS explictly said that it was after the battle of Malachor V - which is why we have the continuity glib with the Mandalore (when KotOR 2 repeatedly states that *no* new Mandalore after Ultimate arose aside from Canderous), not to mention Mandalorian Space... after the Mandalorian Wars - WHAT Mandalorian space? Oh Obsidian, had you only paid attention to all the dialog files. Like how they say in KotOR 2 that KK-47 can speak only "600 languages", whereas in KotOR 1, it's six THOUSAND... *sigh* (195.92.168.169 12:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC))
 * Ok, just did a check on the dialog thing. Can't find the "Six thousand" remark anywhere by HK-47 in KotOR 1. Which is odd, because I'm sure I remember hearing it whilst in the Sandpeople camp. Whatever, looks like I was wrong in that regard. (Edit: It was actually the first HK-50 you meet in KotOR 2 that says six thousand... how stupid am I?) The stuff about the mandalore stands though.

 * Where was it stated that HK-47 survived until the Battle of Yavin? Gwai Lo 18:28, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * In Star Wars Galaxies: Trials of Obi-Wan, HK-47 is an NPC on Mustafar. - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:42, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Image
I think the old image was better. This one is distorted. - Sikon [ Talk ] 05:15, 14 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. I reverted it and it is better. If someone finds an even better picture please add it to HK's page but do not overwrite this image. He could use another shot. Perhaps an in game screen shot or some concept art. I don't know what the official websites have exactly for him. I'm going to go take a look and maybe add something here.--DannyBoy7783 05:41, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * the one with the vents looks better than the one you just reverted too. talk about crappy ingame graphics... --Razzy1319 05:43, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I added an image from an official Bioware KOTOR wallpaper. It shows HK quite well. The one with the vents is ass and doesn't show the character as well as the original or the new one.--DannyBoy7783 05:54, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * the close up is good too but the vents not only showed the entire frame of the hk series but it also defines its purpose. --Razzy1319 06:05, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, upon examing the picture again I decided it was pretty good so I uploaded a slightly larger version and included it lower down the page. It doesn't "define his purpose" though. It's just what he looks like on the character alignment screen in KOTOR 1.--DannyBoy7783 06:48, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * the picture with the vents, has mood and presence perfect for someone like HK. making it almost as if the picture defines him as a character. the picture from the character alignment screen looks very bad. --Razzy1319 07:15, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you are confused. The vents image, while a render for the wallpaper, is more or less the same as how he looks on the character screen when you pause the game. It does set the mood for him because he's aligned as "evil". The photo here and the character screen are more or less the same thing. Anyway, I don't even know why we are arguing about this...kind of pointless. The pictures are good the way they are now, that's all that matters..--DannyBoy7783 07:50, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Hey, what happened to the old image? It was much cooler...--Xilentshadow900 00:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

HK-47 in Star Wars Galaxies
What does HK-47 do on Mustafar? Perhaps a little additional information on that could be used in the article (since the player is the one who destroys him, we can't necessarily identify who kills him, but some of the non-player related incidents could be included in this article IMO) - DAWUSS 7:33, 30 Jan 2005 He is building an army and is preparing to create another droid revolution like HK-01 and IG-88 Swerto 14:56, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Is Star Wars Galaxies really the same level of canon as other games anyway? I mean, come on, according to Galaxies, there were hundreds of Jedi running around during the civil war. I really don't think it should be placed in HK-47's main biography. It's not a story based video game, therefore it doesn't fit into the continuity.(Ulicus 18:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC))
 * For now we can put a disputed tag over his Mustafar deeds. --Redemption 18:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Leland Chee has said that nothing is overlooked in Galaxies, barring a few randomly spawned NPCs. No tag. Cutch 19:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, this cements the fact that Leland Chee is on something, but whatever. (Ulicus 19:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC))

Major Error
In the article it states that HK-47 started a civil War. This is FALSE. It was a HK-50 that started it. I've removed the section. --Shaoken 08:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Name inspiration?
I've been browsing and discovered that the Hunter-Killer Probot's abbreviation is H-K Probot. Since it and HK-47 have similar capabilities and functions, is it possible that it's name originated from it, at least partially?

Surprising Height
Is anyone else surprised that HK-47 is supposedly 1.8 metres when he's about a head (or half a head) taller than all the other characters in the game? (barring Malak and the Wookies) When you consider that the average *stormtrooper* is 1.8 metres, it does seem a little darn weird.(Ulicus 23:29, 14 June 2006 (UTC))

Mustafar redlinks
... are no more, because they are now linked.. They refer to the Star Wars: Galaxies game, and now point to the relevant information. Not sure why someone reverted my work the first time, since the links are good, cover the material, and etc. Try to use the discussion page before reverting someone's work the first time. Adaon 01:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, we don't use those links. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Uh, why not? The SWG wiki is linked in many places here. If you don't link to those, you won't be able to link anywhere. Unless you take the information from there and use it here. But that's ok, I've seen this sort of thing before. Have fun with your wiki, I was trying to help. I won't bother. Adaon 01:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Linking to the Star Wars: Galaxies wiki in the article isn't a good idea. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

How about some reasons before (or, in this case, after) reverting my work? "Isn't a good idea" isn't exactly a clear answer, given that the bio information comes from the game itself. You won't find any information on the Kubuza area et al. outside of a SWG information site, and the wiki is a good one. Anything besides "uhs" and opinions about what is and isn't a good idea? I could care less about ol' HK, I just happened to notice the redlinks and thought "hey, I know where that information is," so I linked it. Like I said, I've run into this before, and don't want to get sucked in. Leave it as it is, it's fine with me. Next time though, really do try to give real reasons for not liking someone's links. You might get some ass in here who actually worries about these things and not someone easy going like me. Then it's a revert war, people get banned, blah blah. The discussion page is here - discuss before reversion. It's a standard practice at Wikipedia, it ought to be here, too. Bye! Adaon 01:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Is it me or does that image of HK-47 seem less menacing than the game model.--Darth Oblivion 02:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I actually think he looks more threatening. -- SFH 02:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The one thing that caught my attention was the increased size of the photoreceptors.--Darth Oblivion 02:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
