Talk:Ysanne Isard

Existential state
What source states that Isard was captured rather than killed? --Demented Smiloid 17:12, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * While improving the main Wikipedia's article on Isard, I stumbled upon the SW Databank article which states that she died at the end of Isard's Revenge, which is precisely what I had thought. I've corrected the article. --Maru 13:04, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Reread Isard's Revenge. Stackpole has a habit of killing off his Star Wars characters only to later reveal their not dead. However, here the reveal is something the folks writing the databank didn't figure out because he drops the clues but never the physical reveal. Iella Wessiri corner's her in her own quarters on the Lusankya and tells her that instead of killing her, she's going to lock her away in a private cell aboard her own ship where the only beings she'll ever see are the droids that will bring her her food. Then Isard moves to stop that from happening only to get shot and we see her "death" through her own eyes. Yet if we merely go by death through someone's eyes in Stackpole's Star Wars book, then Corran should have died in Rogue Squadron, The Bacta War, and Onslaught as in all three cases he believes he is dieing but is later proved wrong.

There was more than enough time for medical assistance to be brought in. Moreover, pay attention to where she was shot, the stomach. This can indeed be fatal, but it is more likely to be less fatal than a shot somewhere else. But the real clues come at the very end of the book. Corran mentions an area of the ship where only droids can go and Illea is suddenly coughing into her hand before giving an explination. Stackpole's already laid the first set of clues and now he's reinforcing those earlier clues.
 * Well, as of now, Isard is dead. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Can we assume that Ysanne Isard's surname was pronounced "eye-sard" to make "Iceheart" a homonymic pun? --SparqMan 03:54, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)

needs "Behind the scenes" and first appearence. --UVnet 09:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Evasive action pic

 * I don't think I've ever seen Isard without a scowl on her face. Come to think of it, the picture with the smile is one of the most distrubing things I've ever seen from Star Wars. I don't know why. -- SFH 15:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Text at beginning of article
For the sake of a situation at hand, you'll note that Isard's childhood image size of 150 pixels causes the text at the beginning to the article to do strange things, such as what the image shows. Recently, as can be shown in the article's history, the image size was reduced to 130 pixels in order to fix the text issue. User Jack Nebulax, though, decided that the image for him was "too small" and he did not like it, so it was changed back to the 150 pixels despite the efforts of another user (and I am not referring to myself). The issue of the text remains and since it was cited that I had not made a complete complaint about it, here it is. I am not asking to fix this for my sake or because I don't like it, but for the article's aesthetic and readability levels.--SOCL 22:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll change it, then. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Beaten With an Ugly Stick?
Where is that pic of her as a youngling from? It looks to me like a piece of 8-year old fan art. No offense. --Quidon88 14:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Click on the image. It lists the source.  -Finlayson
 * Why don't you check before you complain next time? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Do we know how old she was in that picture?--SOCL 15:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say under ten standard years old. I have no clue what her actual age was at the time. It would be helpful if we knew when she was born. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * First: Yes, but I prefer having it the way it is. Second: Plase don't post in the middle of a discussion. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter anyway, now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. The reason I ask it because, if we cna pinpoint how old she was in the picture, which was in 19 BBY, then we pinpoint what year she was born.--SOCL 20:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we can't, and it wouldn't be a canon birth year. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, we don't, but how would it not be canon? If we had canon evidence that said she was [given age] in [given year], wouldn't it be logical to find a canon answer to her birth year?--SOCL 03:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If we guessed at her age, it wouldn't be canon. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, you've misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about guessing, but finding it by a process of simple mathematics.  Again, if we have a canon source that told us how old she was at a given date, we could then do some simple subtraction and find out during what year she was born.  That's not guessing.  That's why I ask, do we have a source as to how old she was in the picture?--SOCL 15:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * None that I know of. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
