Talk:Jan Ors

Appearances: Jedi Academy (Multiplayer only)
If a recycled player model counts as an official appearance (with the footnone of "non-canonical"), then I think we're opening the floodgates to a LOT of questionable material. Jan's model is one of the available choices in the multiplayer mode of Jedi Academy, but so are Desann and Galak Fyyar, despite being quite dead at the time. Darth Vader is playable in the multiplayer mode of Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, despite the game being set six years after Return of the Jedi. Should it be listed in his "Appearances" section? Or what about Mercenaries for Han Solo? Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for Darth Maul?

There is no hard rule regarding what qualifies as an appearance, but I think we're getting a little too far into the gray area here. Multiplayer deathmatch games don't tell any type of story, so I personally don't think they count as part of the game's narrative. -- SM-716 ...talk? 19:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree; Jan is not in that story. I do believe Kyle mentions her, though, on the level with the train on Coruscant (the last level on the first tier of selectable missions). He's flying the Raven's Claw and telling a story to Jaden, when they get the transmission from the conductor. BaronGrackle 10:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The Appearances section reflects this with the "mentioned only" modifier after Jedi Academy's listing. -- SM-716 [[Image:716chiss.gif]] ...talk? 21:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Jan Strange
Good work, jSarek, digging up info on the Jan Strange retcon made by the Dark Forces novellas. I wonder if it's worth noting that Jaymach's Jan Strange image clearly shows Jan before getting her giant cybernetic right hand?

Come to think of it, why has Jan never gotten one of those super-realistic fake hands that Luke got at the end of ESB? Jan had seniority in the Rebellion, after all.... -- SM-716 ...talk? 21:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I didn't notice that when I looked at the pic of her as Jan Strange...wow, thanks for pointing that out!! Perhaps she lost her hand during her tenure with the Imperials; maybe it was an accident, or perhaps was cut off as a punishment when she did something wrong. Either way, I'm going to put out the idea that she lost it while working with the Imperials, and that the Imperials were the ones who gave her the cybernetic hand. The Rebellion consisted of many different races who offered different types of technology; it's possible that the less racial diverse Empire didn't have such advanced prosthetic technology of their own. Either that, or if you're going along the "punishment" route, perhaps they gave her a crappy cyberhand model as a constant reminder to her of her error, yet still enabling her to operate at optimal efficiency, which sounds very Imperial to me. What do you think?? Again, this is all conjecture, and we can't include it in the article, but it IS fun to talk about. :D --Promus Kaa 17:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

wedding bells?

 * In the comic Equals and oppisotes Jan says that they are going to get married AFTER the war. The war that takes place in this story is the one that is in the New Jedi Order series. Also, did Jan and Kyle ever live together? thanks,
 * We have yet to see if they got married at the end of the war, or if the never-ending crises of the GFFA meant that marriage again had to wait. As for cohabitation, I don't believe it's been established, though they did share the same (rather cramped) ship on many occasions. jSarek 22:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Do they HAVE to get married? KEJ 23:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Kyle sure wants it, and it seems the Jan kind of does to, but not under the circumstances. jSarek 02:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm.... well, is it necessary for them to be married to continue their relationship? KEJ 12:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it is. It is immoral to live with some one before you are married.


 * "Yes it is. It is immoral to live with some one before you are married"....in the Star Wars galaxy. Try not to make this anything other than a discussion about the character. Anyway, Kyle's capture following the Vong War may have interrupted wedding plans, of course - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 23:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
