 * It's an interesting theory, though, I hadn't thought of that, could be... but if it's true it'll be confirmed by an official source, so we should wait for that before we add it to the page. --Thetoastman 00:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It could be... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:53, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Notice also how his appearance seems to match that of Zahn when he dressed as Talon Karrde for the SWCG. Kuralyov 03:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Should I add something in about this? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Source
What is the actual source for much of this information, such as birth year and location? --SparqMan 05:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems like fanon, especially with the anon contributions. Kuralyov 06:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed it before, so I'm going to remove it again. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Nothing on this entry should be taken as fact since it is based on an E3 demo; the demo was made up to show off units and had no story in it at all. The background for this character will only be available once FoC is released. --Darth-Torpid_PG 10:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, wrong, because it's information about him. He's featured in the trailer; therefore, he and everything in the article is canon. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Although that is one of the developers you're talking to there, I must agree, the few stats and overall non-game information we got from the trailer should be reasonable enough to include for now. VT-16 05:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That was one of the game developers? Oops... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup. PG stands for "Petroglyph". That's usually their handles on forums. ;) VT-16 17:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I would know, seeing as how I had a large part in creating the character :) The trailer was also tailored to show off units. There's nothing in the trailer dialog that is flat-out wrong, but anything seen there is NOT from the story. The ONLY things that can be taken as fact are his name and his rivalry with Jabba.  His interaction with the Eclipse and the canon heroes is all speculation at this point because we have not revealed any story details.  I applaud the initiative to get Tyber on Wookieepedia, just as long as everyone understands that the entry is very subject to change. --Darth-Torpid_PG 10:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that... We've had some people acting like they make up canon every so often, so I'm kind of always on my guard... Anyway, thanks for the heads-up that it could very well change. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Wait a minute... how can this might be post-Endor if he has a rivalry with Jabba?

it is 100% pre endor the death star seen in during costrution in trailer. Jabba in trailer. do the math noobs. Unless it is 30% non-cannon like the original empire at war. it is pre endor. Ralok 19:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, no, because Darth-Torpid_PG is one of the game developers. I think he would know, not you. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The storyline starts at some point after the Battle of Yavin and goes up to at least the Battle of Endor. What the article means is that it might span beyond the Battle of Endor. -- I need a name 20:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

but the behind the scenes implies that his entire story is post endor. Ralok 03:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. It says that it could be post-Endor. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Picture
This guy looks like Lucius Malfoy. Kuralyov 03:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Great... First the Darth-Plagueis-looking-like-Voldemort thing, and now Tyber Zann looking like Lucius Malfoy. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

hmmm...he does bear a strong resemblance to Jason Isaacs(guy who played Malfoy). I am sure Corroney did this intentionally. -Taskmaster
 * Probably. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 02:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It bares more than a resemblance!!!

They're pratically the same person. It just goes to show what can happen when twits like Harry Potter don't revise their appirition spell properly! Jasca Ducato Sith Council (Sith campaign) 19:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No!!! Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Funny, I noticed the same thing before even coming in here. It must be Malfoy, the bastard is so evil, this role would fit for... wait a sec.. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Here's another image for comparison. I have a feeling we may be seeing more of Mr. Isaacs soon. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I would say it looks *exactly* like Malfoy. Interesting to see what Joe will say about it in his endnotes. --Azizlight 05:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've messaged Joe on myspace for absolute confirmation on the how and why of this, even though the article states he ran out of reference shots and went on a suggestion. He should reply within a day. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I for one think it's a cool thing to do. But do you need permission from the actor to do that sort of thing? --Azizlight 06:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought, because if this is going to happen, there's something else going on here *coughseriescough*. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Case in point this from the BTS: "Zann was included in Star Wars Insider 89 at the request of LucasArts, who wished additional publicity for him." There's something up somebody's sleeve here. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you're reading into it too much Riff ;-) They're just trying to sell the Empire at War expansion. Have they even began casting for Star Wars TV? --Azizlight 07:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh cmon, it's fun to speculate. No there haven't been any auditions or anything but it all makes you wonder, doesn't it. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting Tyber Zann is going to be in the Star Wars TV series? I hope not. Then again... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok so it's taking a little longer than I expected for a reply from Joe. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's okay. I have to sit and wait for the results of my admin nomination anyway. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, Joe never replied. What implications does this mean if he doesn't deny anything? Also could I still list Tyber Zann as a speculation for the series? It will irk me until it happens or doesn't. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Choice of weapons
Is that a Rawk chopped special in Zann's hand?Tocneppil 19:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good God, it is. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

IGN interview
I assume the background presented in "his" IGN interview is official information? Imperial cadet, kicked out by Thrawn due to suspected weapons-theft, gained information network thanks to his Imperial connections, had dealings with Jabba before his betrayal, offers "protection" to planets affected by the GCW. Nice stuff. VT-16 17:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I suppose so. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

change in text
Ok "Zann even went so far as to attempt to capture a prototype Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought for his navy." there is nothing saying that he want this ship for his navy, mabey there is an another reason no? He is part of the underworld so why want the biggest ship in the galaxy? It would just be a large target and if he is part of the galaxy underowlrd he would want to be able to hid. So I want it to be changed to "for unknown reasons" lepaster 19:41, 2 Oct 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a big ship. What else is he going to use it for? A coffee table? --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] 00:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. It'd make no sense for him to use it for something else. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Mabey to bribe some one or get infomation?? lepaster 20:24, 2 Oct 2006 (UTC)
 * And not use it in his own navy? He'd have to be incredibly stupid not to do something like that. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * He's part of the underworld that would put him into the same level as empire and rebel ranking not very underworld like!lepaster 20:27, 2 Oct 2006 (UTC)
