Talk:Atton Rand

Atton "Jaq" Rand?
Whats the whole deal on "Jaq"? Where did that come from? - Redemption
 * Yes, I was wondering that too. Removed. Also removed "Category:Galactic Republic military officers". - Sikon [ Talk ] 12:06, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * But he was. Kuralyov 01:23, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * A Galactic Republic military officer? What makes you say that? - Sikon [ Talk ] 01:44, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * He himself says in the game that he fought in the Republic military against the Mandalorians. Kuralyov 01:53, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * The Jaq thing I found in the Strategy Guide for KOTOR II. User:RushinSundaws
 * It's also reprinted in the new Visual Guide. Tam 15:58, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yet we never hear him called by his nickname... DAWUSS 19:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, here's a thought: What if Jaq's his real name and Atton is an identity he chose for himself? This idea came to me with those Twi'leks on Nar Shaddaa saying Atton wasn't Atton at all.... DAWUSS 21:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's kinda' what I thought, too. Exile Catherine 04:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC) Exile_Catherine

Vfd
Is this meant to be nominated for a Vfd? I can't tell. --SparqMan 01:47, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Why should it? He's a valid KOTOR II character... oh, wait, it's the k2char template that's being VFD'd, so it shows here as well. - Sikon [ Talk ] 01:55, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Redeemed Jedi?
Atton wasn't a Jedi, was he? Then why is he in the category Redeemed Jedi ? ----Inmobilus 20:01, 16 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * He became one of the Lost Jedi. QuentinGeorge 20:06, 16 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * We don't know if he became a true Jedi. The term "Lost Jedi" is figurative. - Sikon [ Talk ] 01:14, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Romance
This is purely speculation but I think I'll leave it here for you guys to consider.... Does anyone else think that Atton was supposed to be the (female) Exile's lead romance? He hints at it a few times when speaking to Bao-Dur and Mical, Kreia mentions it to the Exile when she mentions about what he fantasizes about, and at Malachor V, the Exile even asks Kreia if Atton loved her, and perhaps this'll be up for interpretation, but I almost saw it as being asked with a bit of excitement and curiosity, like she can't wait to find out and hear the answer she wants to hear. If you ask me, I think Atton was supposed to be the lead romance, but there obviously isn't anything to solidify that thought. - DAWUSS 7:52, 30 Jan 2006

[square thingy] Yeah, I think he was supposed to, except I've never made a female Exile. I mean, better than hooking up with Bao-Dur or his former Padawan or one of the droids or Hanharr or something... Not A Member 19:15, 6 July 2006
 * Indeed. It was cut from the final game (like oh so many other things. . .) but Atton was supposed to die in a femal exiles arms on Malachor V. Well, if you have more influence with him than Mical, I suppose. Google it. Warhobbe 01:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Only if Atton didn't defeat Sion. If he did (this was going to be a player-Atton controlled fight) then he'd just leave with the Exile. --Redemption 01:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, if the Exile had more influence with Mical than with Atton, Kreia twisted his jealousy until he fell to the dark side and confronted Mical on Malachor. In the sound clip I heard, he makes a comment about having loved the Exile. Exile Catherine 04:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)Catherine_Exile

His homeplanet
Serroco people found in the refugee sector on Nar Shaddaa look like Chinese, or Asian in general. Since Atton doesn't look like an Asian, could he be from Eres III? 82.50.21.162 12:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd say he is Corellian. Plus, Chinese, or Aisan in general does not exist in Star Wars.


 * It is interesting to note that during the game, he is also introduced as the "Enchani-skilled pilot". Could this be any consideration to an Enchani heritage or just something perhaps he was trained as under the Sith? Mikda Fopal

 * I always thought Atton looks like Aladdin from the disney presentation of the story.--Logan Felipe 04:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Not Necessarily a Jedi
Why does this article state that Atton was trained as a Jedi by the Exile as if it were fact? Truth of the matter is, he CAN become a Jedi. He doesn't become one during the game necessarily. Therefore, you cannot state it as fact until some later source comes along and tells us as much. Gah.(Ulicus 23:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
 * See Talk:Mira. - Sikon [ Talk ] 04:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Removed 'Sith-Assassin' Link
I've removed the link to Sith Assassins, since Atton was an "assassin for the Sith" - but not a "Sith Assassin" in that sense.(Ulicus 23:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC))

Picture
Can we get a better picture than that? It's so dark and...bad.Bredd13 18:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Technophobia
Who put the thing about his urethra in there? How is that true? And how do we know that? I'm removing it.


 * It's probably due to Atton's obvious distrust of droids, like when he accuses T3 of stealing the EB or say that droids "break in the head." But calling it technophobia is probably going to far, given that he has no problem with flying the Ebon Hawk. Jediphile 21:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Provide transport for Coorta?
I've heard this theory before, but I've never seen anything to support the idea that Atton was supposed to help Coorta bring the Exile to the Exhange. Even if it does make sense, and explains why Atton is on Peragus, it should marked as conjecture, or else the source of that information should be given. Jediphile 21:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It never once mentions anywhere in the game that Atton was helping Coorta. Doesn't Coorta's miner's log say that the "science officer", really HK 50, was going to help him? Darth Macropolis 17:12 January 6 07

The Jaq Issue.
I noticed a fiew disguessions up. i don't remember him being calld Jaq in any canon source either. can anytone explain? Valin &quot;Tnu&quot; &quot;Shido&quot; Suul 21:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * He is called Atton "Jaq" Rand in Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide so it is right. Green tentacle 08:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Atton Rand was originally supposed to be the name of the main character of the early production version of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, but was cut out of it. The player character was eventually named Jaden Korr. If the player beats the game at least twice and gets both "light side" and "dark side" endings. User:Kami-Sama

If you read the qouteation above (forgive my poor spelling) it says that atton rand was originally designed as the main character in Jedi Acadamy so dose that mean they are bothe eaqual in power and abilitie. User:Kami-Sama

No. It means that he was originally concept art for Jaden (with the name "Atton Rand"), but was replaced by Jaden (or even kyle's other apprentice, who actually resembles him quite closely, now that I think about it)--Logan Felipe 03:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
