It's worth clicking on the Bear Clan link. THere you'll see a picture of a Padawan kid that looks like Shaak Ti but younger. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif

PLease, don't someone start with Jedi from the EU.

James, you left out Luke Skywalker in the Classic Trilogy.

[Luvinna.]

What's wrong with the EU Jedi? They're still Jedi.

And here's another question for you, Justin: What about Aalya Secura (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/aaylasecura/eu.html)? She's an EU Jedi who's in E2.

[Blizzard]

Very cool linking all the names, James! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

[James]

Thanks Blizz

I don't like EU, specially theJedi from it, namely Mara Jade

[Jedi D'oh]

What's wrong with Mara? Maybe you didn't catch her from the beginning. I read the Zahn novels as they came out in the early 90's. She was a great character that got better as time went on.

[Jedi D'oh]

Why don't u like the EU? Just curious.

[James]

It just donesn't fit in with the PT eg. Jedi in love (that's the worst)

[Jedi D'oh]

In my opinion, that's the whole point of the EU. The jedi in this era do things differently because the lore has been destroyed by the Empire so Luke sort of has to make it up as he goes along.

But that's cool. This isn't the place for an EU discussion, but I'd love to get into one with some of you guys and pick your brains for a bit. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Rogue_0009]

And you can't seriously expect the author's to be able to divine the future or what George's head, he liscensed out his creation and everyone either has to deal with it or leave it alone.

[James T. Skywalker]

If I may, I will provide my own list of the Jedi that Darth James has not listed--those from the Expanded Universe...

~James T. Skywalker

[Justin]

What about Aalya Secura? She's an EU Jedi who's in E2.

She's in the film, so she counts.

[James]

I included Aayla Secura

[James]

Why did GL incorporate Aayla Secura into the films if she's from the EU. I don't know much about the EU, I'm just asking what time period is she from in the EU: before TPM or after ROTJ or whatever... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

From EU to Episode II: Aayla Secura
June 18, 2002


No Small Parts


The old actor's maxim speaks of there being no small parts, and that is very true for Star Wars. The visual tapestry is so dense with meticulously planned detail that even the most briefly glimpsed characters develop a following. Fans venerate characters like IG-88, Snaggletooth, and Aurra Sing even though they don't have a word of dialogue, or even a full minute of screen time. Their designs are so intriguing that they demand extra attention. Sometimes, this is supplemented through licensed products, like action figures or spin-off fiction, which allow collectors and readers to learn more about said characters.

With Aayla Secura, the process had an interesting twist. She was already an existing heroine, with a built-in audience of comic book readers who understood her origins before she ever made it onto the screen. After seeing artist Jon Foster's original cover art for issue #33 of the ongoing Star Wars series, Writer/Director George Lucas saw star potential. Aayla Secura, a blue-skinned Padawan, embodied Jedi strength and Twi'lek femininity in an eye-catching combination of beauty and power. It was the perfect ingredient for the action sequence recipe Lucas and Industrial Light & Magic were constructing, layer-by-layer.



Episode II was well into post-production when the decision to add Aayla was made, so the casting and costuming of this particular Jedi happened mostly at ILM. Stepping into Aayla's droid-kicking boots was Amy Allen, a Production Assistant working at ILM. It was a fortuitous delay in an unrelated film that saw her entrance into Episode II. "I got to do a lot of hands-on work and really get involved with all the shows that were going on at the time," recounts Allen. "This included A.I., Jurassic Park III, Pearl Harbor, and all the really big shows. I was on Gangs of New York for quite a long time and then it went on hiatus because the movie release date was postponed. That's how I ended up working on a stage unit for Star Wars, which was a blessing in disguise."
A graduate from San Francisco State University, Allen studied film and sought work in the Bay Area, landing a job at Industrial Light & Magic. Though her work was primarily behind-the-scenes, her role as Aayla was actually not the first blue Twi'lek Allen performed. "I had been a Twi'lek for the Episode I DVD," she says. In a modification to The Phantom Menace for the DVD release, Senator Orn Free Taa's formerly human-filled Senate pod was instead populated with Twi'leks. "George [Lucas] decided, last minute, to replace that shot. So, I was actually a blue Twi'lek probably two months after I started at ILM."

Allen underwent makeup and a headdress fitting, and was dressed in a Senatorial aide gown designed for Episode II. She was shot against greenscreen, supervised by John Knoll, one of the Visual Effects Supervisors for both Episodes I and II. "I was interested in being in front of the camera, but it's nothing that I actively pursued," she admits. "But when an opportunity arises, one must take it!" Little did she expect what was to come.

Plus she's HOT

[Jedi D'oh]

So all that means is if he finds another little EU thing he likes, he may put it in the movie. It could happen. Then that no loger makes it EU?

The character, and the actions that character takes in the film, are no longer EU. But their events in anything other than the movies are still EU, since they don't take place in the movies.

Levels of Continuity... sometimes it helps to know them. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Hy you forgot vodo bass.

Darth James the jedi form the EU should be counted.Just because they were made by other people and there life was written by other people than george dosent meen they shouldnt be included. Do you really think gEORGE CAME UP WITH EVERY CHARACTER WITH A NAME I THE MOVIES

[James]

I don't recognise the EU, and I have read so little of the EU that I don't really know any Jedi from it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/saber.gif

[Darth Vegas]

How about Master Sifo Dyas, and uh Count Dooku...........
....................

[Aayla]

What's wrong with EU? It's great. And Mara Jade is a great character. I liked her from the very beginning. She's the one who turned to the Light Side.

of course I recognise them because they were made up by GL and are in the films. As for Aayla Secura, I recognise her even thogh she was orginialy in the EU. Why? Because GL incorporated her into his film. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[James T. Skywalker]

That, and Darth James couldn't include Sifo-Dyas in his link-list because the starwars.com Databank doesn't have a listing for him yet (because we don't actually know anything about him, in the films OR in the EU).

A few Jedi from Episode II who don't have Databank entries, but are mentioned as survivors of the Geonosis Battle:

Agen Kolar (Zabrak)
Roth-Del Masona (human)
Sora Bulq (Weequay)
Tarados Gon (Klaatoonian)
Joclad Donva (human)

From the Ask the Jedi Council (http://www.starwars.com/community/askjc/jocasta/askjc20020903.html) section of starwars.com.

[JediKeri.]

I think what makes the Fandom of Star Wars that it is today is BECAUSE of the EU. Now granted I grew up with the movies, and I didn't read any of the books til High School, but it's because of those books that drew me in and cemented my fangirlism.

You may call the EU what you will, but the Books do play a big part in the SWU even if you don't recognize them.

I happen to think that Star Wars fans should, but that's an opinion of a die hard Star Wars Fangirl, with no life at the moment style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Luvinna.]

Has anyone mentioned Even Piell (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/evenpiell/index.html)? I didn't see him listed anywhere.

[Darth Vegas]

JamesTSkywalker,
(because we don't actually know anything about him, in the films OR in the EU).

Actually we do know some things............he was a leading member of the Jedi council, he was supposedly killed over ten years ago..............

Besides, who said I was pointing him out to Darth James?

I was simply pointing out that no onw had mentioned them in the thread yet, when they are bonified Jedi, or at least were.

[James]

Let it be, JamesTSkywalker and Agent Bond. I concede that Sifo-dyas was a jedi, he was mentioned in AOTC, he is not an EU character

And Luvinna, you'll find Even Piell on teh first page of this thread

Actually, they address the issue of Jedi in love in the latest book, Destiny's Way. Luke runs into a Jedi from the Old Republic who'd been gone for about 50 years and they kind of twist eachother's brains around about that and other issues.
