Jedi Exile's gender
The New Essential Guide to Droids is somewhat special in the sense that it answers one of the questions that have been discussed in the Star Wars fan community since the release of Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords - namely, the question of the Jedi Exile's gender. In this book it is established that the Exile is a female, and thus the book breaks with the tradition of making characters that originate as customizable characters in video game male.
