Talk:Aruteous Gunnay

Slain by Vader's lightsaber around the same time as Rune Haako?

Gunnay was killed in the Control Room, and Haako in the Conference Room. Rune Haako 23:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't Haako killed in the Conference Room in the RotS book (Matthew Stover), but in the film, he is killed in the Control Room? Gunnay too. Mastermundi 14:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC) Isn't that body in the conference room Wat Tambor? Mastermundi 09:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC) I know, I just couldn't see the bodies.

 * I think that Haako was killed in the Control Room, along with Gunnay. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But what about the pic of Haako's body that I posted that's in the conference room?--Rune Haako 21:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, who knows. If Haako was killed in the Control Room, it's probably a technical glitch. Or maybe Vader decided to Force-throw some of the members around. ;) Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but some others were also killed in there. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 21:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Since Rune is (apparently) standing right beside the entranceway of the conferance room during his "No! Nooooo!" spiel, I've come to the conclusion that after Anakin slashes Rute Gunnay, Rune retreats into the adjacent room with Wat Tambor (seen in the background when Anakin turns to show his Sith eyes). He certainly had enough time to do so while Anakin was busy going over and slashing that random Neimoidian controller after Rute. He and Wat are then both killed off-camera by Anakin during the cutaway. As far as I can tell, he and Wat are the only two who are actually killed somewhere besides the control room.

In any event, I've amended Rute's bio to simply say Anakin kills him immediately after chopping Poggle in half. - Kooshmeister

 * No problem. - Kooshmeister

Name.
Now that I think about it, are we sure "Rute Gunnay" is this Neimoidian's actual name? Considering the fact that he was named this after he was mistaken for Gunray, is this name canonical? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 00:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, unlike, say, Qi Zhu, "Rute Gunnay" actually comes from a published Star Wars book, Dressing a Galaxy. And the roots of the name come from a mistake made by James Luceno in Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary. It's a silly name, but it's definitely not fanon if that's what you're asking. - Kooshmeister
 * And also, leaving aside the fact that out-of-universe it's a ridiculous in-joke/poor attempt to fix Luceno's screwup, looking at it within the context of the actual SW universe, it's certainly within the realm of possibility that Nute would come to have an aide whose name was phonetically similar to his own. - Kooshmeister
 * While this name comes from a canonical source, that doesn't mean this is the canonical name. Could someone provide the exact quote in which this Neimoidian is named? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I spoke to someone who owns the book and they said there is not precise quote about Rute, but the name simply accompanies a picture of that Neimoidian. What more could you ask for? :) - Kooshmeister
