Talk:Rahm Kota

Death
Which source states that Kota was killed? I know that if the player in The Force Unleashed is a dark side character, but that doesn't unnecessarily mean he would kill all the light side Jedi he encounters. Remember Tavion from Jedi Knight II. - TopAce 18:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Juyo
This guy has to use Juyo. I mean, If he dosen't I'll pay anybody a thousand bucks...


 * What leads you to this belief? - TopAce 21:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Funny you should ask... Juyo was regarded by Nick Gillard to be a Form that was based off Kenjutsu in Real Life. This was because it was created when Samuel L. Jackson mentioned to Gillard that he had been a big fan of Samurai films as a kid and wanted his Jedi to use a style that embodied that genre. (Prior to the filming of AotC) Accordingly, All of the other lightsaber Forms that were created, with the exception of Shien, were created with techniques garnered from both western and eastern sword arts. Juyo itself was created purely from Kenjutsu, a sword art practiced by the Samurai before their decline. So, Juyo is an artform carrying the legacy of the Samurai. General Kota has been stated to be a "Samurai Jedi" and some of his looks are obviously based off of Samurai fashion.

So, accordingly, Juyo would be the most apropriate Form for him to be a practioner of. That, and since Juyo was the best Form for killing, it makes sense that he would have used his skills to survive Order 66.

Actually, Im a bit suprised you couldn't come to this conclusion yourself...

That is lovely conjecture. Kota using Juyo is not, however, supported by a source. SinisterSamurai 22:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually it was conjecture, but now it has been stated in The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide that Kota does use Juyo :) Grunny 03:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Starbird
Is it just me or does kota sport a Rebel alliance Starbird?-Sith my ride

After TFU
In the canonical version of TFU, Kota is still alive when the story ends. At the ends of the graphic novel and book, Kota is a Jedi and a founder of the Rebel Alliance. What's up with that? What happens to him? Why dosent he complete Lukes training later? Unsigned

Also, his affiliation should include Kota's Militia as well


 * I suppose we'll get a few answers sooner or later (same with Juno Eclipse, her fate after the events of TFU remains unknown). As far as Luke's training is concerned, Kota probably didn't take part in it as Obi-Wan surely wasn't aware of Kota's survival. (Mister D 01:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Mister D)


 * We're definitely going to find out seeing as how Haden Blackman has specifically stated that he is interested in continuing TFU's storyline, albeit Galen Marek will only be mentioned due to his unfortunate passing at the end of the game. Linkstarwars 23:45, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Kota's image is far too big
What a giant image! Can we lower the size?--Windu223 22:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hoth-a-like
Kinda reminds me of "Jedi vs Sith's" Lord Hoth (Jedi).Tocneppil 09:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Funny, I thought the exact same thing. Telos 03:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Quote
On the latest documentary for the game, we see Cully Frederickson reading one of Kota's lines. I can't remember what it is exactly, but it sounds like he's addressing the secret apprentice (as the end, he says something like "...and Vader sends a boy after me?" Also, from the sound of things, he becomes a teacher to the apprentice.--Sith Alchemy 101 09:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've got it now-"Months of attacking Imperial targets and Vader sends a boy to fight me?" --Sith Alchemy 101 16:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Eye Color
Do we have any proof of what his eye color is? Im removing it until we can source it. The Secret Apprentice  ( Personal Comm ) 19:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * dark brown/black. if you look closely at the cut scene prior to the first level

New picture
The new picture used in the biography has a brighter background, but the previous one looked more realistic. Drewton 16:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Duel with Marek
On the page it is said that to end the duel with Kota Marek force pushes Kota out the glass floor sending him falling to Nar Shaddaa. Is this what happens in the Graphic novel? Because in the novelization it happens a little differently. After Marek blinds Kota, Kota releases a telekenetic blast, like a force repulse, that shatters all viewports and Kota is sucked out. But Marek believes that Kota leapt out... I have not seen the Graphic Novel yet, what do you guys think? Bantha Rawk 18:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I have the graphic novel and, from all appearances, it looks like after Marek blinded him he took a step or two backwards (while clutching at his eyes) and the glass he stepped on, that had already been weakened from the duel I imagine, cracked and broke. He then, naturally, fell through the hole. Darth Endis 19:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Blind Photo
Don't we have a picture of Kota when he was blind? JediNTT307 19:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Here's one: but i don't know if there's enough room in the article. But i really think they're should be one. JediNTT307 02:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

The rest of the story...
Aren't you guys supposed to add in some more of TFU, instead of lazying around? I can't take anymore of you ignoring someone who's trying to help while you keep on doing nothing!! 72.209.10.107 14:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wookieepedians are all volunteered, so they essentially only edit what they want. Feel free to get an account and make the additions yourself. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Nar Shadaa...?
In the Wii, PS2 and PSP versions of TFU, Galen finds him in a bar on Nar Shadaa, and later metions Garm Bel Iblis helping him to get to Cloud City... So the canon version would be that he landed on Nar Shadaa, and during the time Galen had to be treated for his injuries from Vader he went to Cloud City?Stormie Fan 17:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Force Sight
Does anyone think Kota uses Force sight, as he clearly tries to fight, the Emperor and Vader,and seems like he can see them


 * I believe most Jedi are taught the rudimentary basics of Force Sight, however also, and this is pure biology, when you lose one sense, all of your others become sharper. Keep in mind also that there is a long period between Kota's duel with Galen and his fights with Vader and the Emperor. So he certainly had time to either perfect one of his senses or train in Force Sight. Linkstarwars 23:49, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Master/Knight - General/Senior General?
Kota has been specifically been refered to as a Jedi Master, has he not? If so, then he should have been a Senior Jedi General (military titel for Jedi Masters), as and not simply a Jedi General (military titel for Jedi Masters).

Kota is called simply General by many, but even members of the Jedi coincil were referred to simply as Generals in speech, when in reality their ranks were that of High Jedi Generals. Therefor, it should be edited so that Kota is a Senior Jedi General.


 * Note, though, that Kota did not lead Clonetroopers into battle, prefering his own Militia. The title of Senior Jedi General may not have applied. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 19:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That's a fairly weak assumption. If it was true that the title Senior General had anything to do with leading clone troopers it would be most likely that the title General would have the same requirement. Kota is most definitely a General, that's a fact, and he didn't like commanding clones, also a fact. The military ranks among Jedi are fairly straight forward, namely: Commander(Padawan), General(Knight), Senior General(Master), High General(Council member). Since Kota is a master, all logic points to him being a Senior General. There were Jedi Generals long before the Clone Wars, so the titles can have little to do with leading clones as opposed to leading military forces in general. - NiklasWB 22:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No, that's not correct. There should be only 20 Senior Jedi Generals in the GAR, according to ORBAT. Nowhere does it say that every Jedi Master was appointed Senior General. It merely states that every Senior General was a Jedi Master. For example: Luminara Unduli, a Jedi Master, and Commander Gree leads a legion - thus making Luminara an ordinary Jedi General, also according to ORBAT. grobiano

Kota states in the game that his connection to the force was "severed" or something like that. He must have been lying the whole time however, or how else could you explain his amazing ability to move while blind, fight with a lightsaber, and use the force to snatch Palpatine's lightsaber from his cloak. AM i correct in this assumption? (71.245.179.166 01:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC))
 * He could always have regained his connection to the force. Several characters have "severed" their ties to the force, only to regain it simply through a need for it. Kyle Katarn, for instance.

Clones
Why did he refuse to lead the clone troopers? Was it because he didn't know the army's origins? Was he prejudiced against clones? Did he not want to lead a slave army? &mdash; Aiddat (Holonet) 21:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * He didn't trust them. // ~mikah~  21:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

No! they were unfit for battle!


 * He saw them for what they ultimately boiled down to (regardless of all attempts at "humanizing them") - "human droids."

What happens to Kota after the duel on the death star?
Does he stay with the Rebel Alliance and isn't important because he his connection with the force is weaken? Does he die? ––Bron Hañda 22:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * He has his connection back (grabbed Palpatine's lightsaber). Where did the random "fact" of death come from?
 * After Kota's dual with Starkiller, Kota temporarily lost his connection to the force. With Darth Vader and the rest of the Galactic Empire hunting down rebels and jedi, is it very far-fetched to think he was killed? ––Bron Hañda 19:55, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If he stays with the Alliance why is he not on Yavin in A New Hope? I think a sequel is inevitable 1705jallen

lightsaber
In the mission to correlia he activates a lightsaber. Who's lightsaber did he activate since galen had Kota's lightsaber. Ason Trayon Feb.18 2009

Well I think that the Novel's point of Marek with Kota's lightsaber was artisitc license. Lucasarts didn't change the hilt for the different costumes, which they could have done, and in the comics it's also a blue version of the original, like in the game. Also, Kota does less damage on Cloud City than normal, so perhaps it's a training saber.

Oh, sorry, I see your point. Kota has a new blue lightsaber after losing his green one, but then gets the green one back. Here's a thought: maybe Vader kept the first saber for proxy- so he could use 2 blades and Kota found it. User talk:1705jallen

Lost connection with to the force?
After being blinded after his dual on the TIE Fighter Construction Facility, Kota told Starkiller that he lost his connection with the Force. With his connection lost, how did he snatch Palpatine's lightsaber with the Force durring the Battle on Death Star I? ––Bron Hañda 17:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Major Adjustments
Wow. This page is really short. It REALLY needs to be replaced with this: User:Cavalier_One/Kota. Any arguments, especially from the author of that page? — Excelsior,   The Flash  - ( Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay! ) 21:04, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for noticing my effort to improve this article. At the moment, though, I do object to it being transferred across. As the author of the aforementioned page, I can tell you that it is not finished, and therefore will not be posted until I am satisfied with it. At that point, it will be run through the featured article process. Until that time, please do not copy the information across to the article. Any attempts to do so will be reverted. Thank you. - Cavalier One FarStar Logo.jpg( Squadron channel ) 08:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay then. You got it. — Excelsior,   The Flash  - ( Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay! ) 20:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Age
On the article, and on the Tfu website, Rahm joins the Jedi at age 18. Now isn't Anakin the oldest Jedi ever execepted since the Ruusan reformation (1000-19 bby). He was 9. Yes N-I-N-E! Should there be a retcon for this? Say, Kota was a padawan and he left the order on his own homeworld. Like Obi-wan in the Jedi apprentice series. I'm Just sayin', little weird.

If Kota lived in such a volatile environment, he probably was trained to stop him going to the dark side User: 1705jallen

How does Kota die?
In Return of the Jedi, Yoda states that after he dies Luke will be the last Jedi. Does anyone know at what point Rahm Kota dies?--69.140.203.207 19:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * As of now, no knows how/when Kota died. And by the time of ROTJ, there were still plenty of Jedi around anyway, so it's possible that Kota survived to hear of the Emperor's death. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 19:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Rouge Shadow? Really?
Can someone please correct the spelling to ROGUE Shadow (under Alternate Ending)? I haven't played the game, but I assume the ship is not named after a type of cosmetic.
