Taris

Is Taris Juhani's homeworld? I had an impression that she was born in whatever the Cathars' homeworld is, then brought to Taris during childhood - similar to what haappened to Mission Vao. - Sikon 02:55, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Well... consulted the game... Juhani says her parents fled from the Cathar homeworld and she was raised on Taris, but there is no information which planet she was actually born on. Should we leave the homeworld as Taris or Cathar? - Sikon 03:39, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Leave Taris. As a note, neither Anakin nor Luke Skywalker was born on Tatooine. (Neither was Shmi, for that matter). Leia wasn't born on Alderaan, Anakin Solo wasn't born on Coruscant, etc.. QuentinGeorge 05:57, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Revan saves Juhani

It bugs me that this is stated as canon. The lightside *ending* is canonical, the route to that ending however, is not fixed. One can kill Juhani without being a "dark-side" player, especially if they are wanting to role-play an initial failure on the road to becoming a Jedi - like Luke in the cave on Dagobah - it also makes Vrook's continued dislike of your character make a lot more sense...

• Juhani's OS databank entry clearly shows she survived past Dantooine. QuentinGeorge 08:58, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah ok. Dang it. Thanks for the info. Though I don't really trust the OS when it comes to the games. They just took their info straight from the KotOR website, which is itself a little flawed, since the majority of in game evidence points to Malak and Revan being trained on Coruscant, when the site talks about their training on Dantooine. (195.92.168.173 10:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC))
    • Regardless, databank info is canonical. - Sikon [Talk] 18:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Sith EMpire?

Juhani was never apartof the Sith EMpire, why is that even there in the first place? User:RushinSundaws 1:52, 15 February 2006

- Yeah, just because she fell to the dark side doesn't mean she joined the Sith. Jessimaster 23:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Love for Revan???

...I've dug through the dialogue files with KOTOR Tool... there is no dialogue lines that I could find that carries any kind of romantic hints, subtle or otherwise. There closest I could find is a single line to a female Revan, near the end. Could somebody provide me with a screenshot of one or two of these lines? That's the only way I'll believe it. - The Doctor

To the dude who wanted screenshots of the Juhani Romance Dialog, here they are:

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] I think they took it out of the game... I had to use a savegame editor and flip some of the flags to get these images. Drak swordsman

Yeah, i was just playing it now, and: when i rejected Bastila's deal to become Darth Revan, Juhani was supposed to say something else when i talk to her as a female, but nothing.

Master Nikolce 11:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

To get that, the romance plot must be active: you must be a woman otherwise she speaks of admiration at best, never tell her she is a freak, never kill her.--Jinger 12:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Uncomfortable feelings

[Redacted by administration] - This is an encyclopedia talkpage where we discus the article not a fan forum to discus what we think about the character. The are other places you could discus this. Like here http://www.kotorfanmedia.com/forums. So enough with the fan comments!Jessimaster 23:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Game Events

During Revan's adventures, Juhani was sometimes on the verge of falling to the dark side once again—especially when she met Xor and prepared for revenge. Revan, however, managed to prevent the bloodshed by reciting the Jedi Code, which also worked surprisingly well in other situations.

The light side *ending* is canon, not every choice along the way. You can choose to let Juhani kill Xor and still keep her in your party and still end the game on the light side. (Ulicus 17:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC))

• For K1, the lightmost choices are usually presumed. Although I agree, the choice of the ending isn't binding in any way. (Neither is the romance possibility.) - Sikon [Talk] 18:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Aren't the romances referenced in KotOR 2 though? They're heavily implied if nothing else, be it LSF/Carth or LSM/Bastila.(Ulicus 15:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC))
    • There's also DSM/Bastila if you get the Sith Holocron on Korriban in K2. --Quinton 14:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)(User:CerberAsta of the ForceCerberAsta of the Force)

Major Quote

Can anyone think of a quote that could be major in terms of Juhani, like the other characters?

Master Nikolce 10:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

It may not be major, but I have found a quote that shows she has had some form of contact with a character similar to the Jedi Exile. unfortunately I am a bit of a novice when it comes to these things, so excuse me if I get something wrong, that and my memory isn't perfect, so it may not be word-for-word. "Then there was that woman who went off into the Mandalorian Wars, she was kind" -Juhani to Revan, when asked about her opinion on humans

Romance

Interestingly, as pointed out on TFN forums, Juhani's romance with a female Revan appears to be a conscious decision, not a programmer error.

void main()
{
int iGender=GetGender(GetPCSpeaker());

if (iGender==GENDER_FEMALE)
{
SetGlobalBoolean("T_JUHANIROM", TRUE);
}
}

- Sikon [Talk] 06:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but couldn't it be possible that the programmer accidentally typed in GENDER_FEMALE instead of GENDER_MALE, or accidentally replaced it without realizing it? I've never visited the forum mentioned, so I have no clue as to what the actual reason is. Drak swordsman 07:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

If you take into account that it appears in a gazillion other places, then no. - Sikon [Talk] 09:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• I don't have the experience to say otherwise, but are we CERTAIN that Juhani can only be romanced by a female Revan? Up in "Love for Revan?" section of this discussion page, there are screenshots posted of the final romance dialogue... all with a male Revan. Also, the Star Wars databank entry claims that she can be romanced regardless of gender. Has anyone here tried romancing her as a male, as opposed to reading through the game files? Is it just that some versions of the game let male Revans romance her, but not all versions? BaronGrackle 15:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • The romance dialogue with a male Revan was produced with a modified savegame. As noted, there are scripts that check Revan's gender before allowing romance, but they clearly expect a female Revan. - Sikon [Talk] 18:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah. Well, bah to modified savegames, and bah to inaccurate official sources! Trying to confuse us all, tsk tsk. BaronGrackle 10:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
    • So is Juhani or not gay, i mean we have Belaya and now Revan (if female) Jedi Dude 22:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Stanley Woo, one of Bioware's devs, confirmed on Bioware's boards that Juhani's romance dialogue was supposed to be female only, and that male Revan getting that dialogue was a glitch. Furthermore, if you patch your PC copy of K1, the male Revan can't access Juhani's romance dialogue. Between that, Belaya, and her crush on her master? Uh, yeah. Juhani's about as straight as Melissa Etheridge -Allronix

Age

Are we sure Juhani was born just beofre the destruction of her homeworld? Because that would make her around 7 at the time of KOTOR. Kuralyov 17:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• If so then the next question is, do Cathar mature quickly? DAWUSS 14:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Cathar was attacked many years before the Mandalorian Wars, there was plenty of time for her to grow up on Taris, there must be some mistake.

--Jinger 14:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

• • I agree completely Jinger, but good luck getting the people here to agree with you. Apparently THIS mistake in the NEC, unlike say "Darth Kreia" has been embraced by the community for some reason. (Ulicus 12:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC))

Belaya

[Redacted by administration] - Sikon 16:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Well you'll have to forgive me - I wasn't here when this "speculation" became old. I don't understand the problem, Juhani is clearly a lesbian, is it so unbelievable that her "close friend" was her lover? Not even worth a mention? Master Kavar 17:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Sure, Belaya would watch the stars with Juhani, and she turns to the Dark side if Juhani is killed. Lots of people turn to the Dark side or temporarily go mad when their good friends wind up dead (in the Star Wars Miniature game this is called Impulsive Savagery). And if Juhani is redeemed, Belaya may be grateful, but there's no major reunion scene and no big goodbye. They don't even speak onscreen. And, when Juhani and Revan run into that Sith archaelogist fellow on Korriban (I don't remember his name), Juhani tells Revan about his confession of love for her in a heartbeat; she never makes any mention of a relationship with Belaya back on Dantooine, or during the journey, or when confessing her own love for Revan. I don't think Juhani ever even mentions Belaya, ever. If anything, it was a one-side, unspoken, unrequitted affection, and the one character whom we know is a lesbian does not seem to have any emotional ties from it. -BaronGrackle 19:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• You're right; I can't provide the "hard evidence" that I would normally use before contributing something like this, but you have to keep in mind that Bioware was trying to be subtle. I can only guess at why (problems with Lucas Arts, the ESRB, angry parents, etc) but a lot of things connected to Juhani were cut or toned down (such as a female Revan love triangle). Acknowledging that this was Bioware's intention, one would have to look at the evidence that the game provided and come to the same conclusion. I can't refute Baron's idea about Belaya having an unrequitted interest in Juhani, but I think that's being just too literal with the source material. I don't mind that the section is disputed, but it should still be there somewhere. Master Kavar 20:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • After giving the matter some thought, I conceed that the Belaya romance section was perhaps too impartial. While I still strongly believe it was correct, I think my revision should make everyone happy. I went ahead and removed the speculation tag, fair? Master Kavar 19:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • What should or shouldn't have happened is not our problem. This is not the only homosexual reference in Star Wars, and Wookieepedia is not a place for general opinions. Perhaps the TheForce.net or the Jedi Council forums will provide the venue you seek for such discussion. Atarumaster88 20px ^{(Audience Chamber)} 04:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Not the only? Now I'm curious what some of the other ones are. 68.44.13.236 18:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Speculation Galore

[Redacted by administration] 67.142.130.14 23:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• I don't understand what you mean at all. Her relationship with Belaya is argueable, but the optional relationship with female Revan isn't. If all you have played is the original X-Box version then I could see how you might miss it, but it is there. Master Kavar 01:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[Redacted by administration] Aniki21 21:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Stanley Woo, Bioware official boards. Ran a query.
• Once again, the optional romance between female Revan and Juhani is not speculation in any sense. Just take a look around this very page; someone has already provided proof that the romance scripts were set to run only when talking to female Revan. If that's not enough for you, check the official Star Wars database; they get it half-right atleast by saying that Juhani is bisexual, because the player was able to romance her regardless of gender, due to a script bug. If you think you can re-write it to be more impartial, be my guest. Erase it again and I'll report it as vandalism. Master Kavar 00:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Search the discussion topics, Aniki21, you know it to be true. -BaronGrackle 00:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Accent

I doubt that Juhani's russian accent is due to her Cathar heritage. After all, the Tarisian gambler Niklos has the same accent. So, unless he was raised on Cathar before its destruction, I doubt that the accent is Catharese. Jedi Wolf 1:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• An excellent point. I've resigned myself to the fact that Star Wars accents are random. "But what about the Coruscant British accent?" Yeah, also random. Tarkin has the accent and is from Eriadu, Jaden Korr's male and female voices have no trace of such an accent, and the new prequel trilogy gives us constant exposure to Coruscant natives who also have different, various accents. -BaronGrackle 20:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• It's hard to say for sure; but we know she didn't pick up that accent on Dantooine, and it's unlikely she learned it on Taris. It may not even be a Cathar accent specifically, but a regional or racial thing. Regardless, it's worth a mention so I'd leave it the way it is. Master Kavar 01:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Hold up, apparently the 'british' accent is supposed to be a political accent, which is why many politicians have it, and why certain characters seem to switch between the two, depending on their settings.Xanofar 02:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Protection

I think things have escalated to the point of slapping a protection on this article, ALA C-3PO or the Jedi Exile. Admins, do you concur? Cutch 01:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• I must concur; this constant vandalism is just getting out of hand. I would like to see this page protected against new or unregistered editors, as all of the attacks seem to be coming from those sources. Master Kavar 05:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• The page wasn't protected to keep you from editing. It was protected because a lot of vandals have been vandalizing it. This, unfortunately, means that unregistered users such as yourself can't edit the article. However, you may want to consider registering—it takes about 30 seconds and doesn't even require an e-mail.Plus you'd be free to edit anything. --Imp 14:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

    • Well, I hope you can forgive me for paraphrasing 67.142.130.41; I decided to go with the meaning of her words, instead of her exact words. If you could refute a single point in the article I would change it, but you and those vandalising the page haven't been able to. If I need to post the entire final talk with Juhani with the male and female differences I will do so. Master Kavar 19:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[Redacted by administration] 67.142.130.41 22:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• Once again, I invite you to point specifically what the section speculates on, or what I misinterpreted. There is an optional romance with Juhani in the game that can only be accessed by a female player, this is fact. Juhani at times has seperate responses in dialogue that only activate if the player is female. At the end of the game she has two completly sperate dialogue trees for the player, and if the player is both female and has completed Juhani's side quest with Xor, Juhani will tell the player that she cares for her and wants to be with her. Like I said, the evidence exists within this very talk page, as someone took the liberty of posting a series of screen shots to prove it. None of these facts can be disputed or misinterpreted. As well, I was the one who created the Belaya section under romances, I am also the one who "corrected" it to be more impartial. If you can prove the evidence wrong go right ahead, until then stop making baseless accusations. Master Kavar 22:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• An "absolute concoction"? Let's look at the current Belaya paragraph:
  

"Though not entirely supported by evidence, some believe that Juhani and her childhood friend Belaya had a somewhat scandalous affair while they both trained at the Dantooine enclave, despite the Jedi code discouraging Jedi from the attachments of love."

• I've boldened the first two verb groups: "not supported" and "believe". It is true that the alleged romance is not indisputably supported, but it is also true that some believe it is there. I don't think you dispute those two assertions.
  

"It was because of their strong feelings that when Juhani fell to the dark side that the Council decided that Belaya was too close to Juhani to return her, that their strong passions would work against them if she were to try."

• This part is a fact from the game, supported by dialogue.
  

"(Indeed, if the player chose the dark path and killed Juhani, those strong emotions turned to vengeance against Revan and she fell to the dark side as well.)"

• Also a fact from the game, supported by dialogue. Anonymous person, the paragraphs are not nearly as conjectural as you imply. I myself believe that Juhani and Belaya had a sort of unspoken "summer romance" thing between them, the type that wouldn't cause scandal because it never really developed into much—though the feelings were there. Even if the sections were conjectural, the Behind the scenes sections of other articles have had much more extreme hypotheses. -BaronGrackle 03:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Juhani is a Lesbian. Get over it.

I don’t like having to say it like that; and let me put out this isn’t pointed against anyone in particular. I just can’t believe that after all this time this very obvious fact is still under debate. The original game writer confirmed her sexuality as well as dispelling the bisexual rumor on Bioware’s message board, and even the official Star Wars databank entry agrees that there was a potential romance between Juhani and the female Revan. If anyone is still not convinced by two official sources, I would also point out the game script that handles her romance plot (courtesy of Sikon):

void main()
{
int iGender=GetGender(GetPCSpeaker());

if (iGender==GENDER_FEMALE)
{
SetGlobalBoolean("T_JUHANIROM", TRUE);
}
}

Note “JUHANIROM”, as in “Juhani Romance”, the same naming code used for handling Bastila’s and Carth’s respective romance sub-plots. So by now any reasonable person should be able to conclude that Juhani is in-fact lesbian. Now that we have that established, I will pick apart my own writing point by point.

BaronGrackle already did a very good job on discussing the possible Belaya romance, so I have nothing more to add to that. The only thing I will say is that it makes no unsubstantiated claims; only describes what actually did happen between the two of them, and states that there could have possibly been more to them based on what we already know. This is perfectly legitimate for a “behind the scenes” section.

Now for Revan. This sub-section is written under the assumption that the player was a female, and followed the romance plot through to conclusion:

• This quote I chose from the last talk you will have with Juhani, after defeating Bastila on the Rakatan temple. It’s quoted word for word, and appears exclusively in the female Revan romance dialogue tree.

"On their journey together to stop the Sith, Juhani came to trust and admire Revan as a close and dear friend. However, in their appearance in the Knights of the Old Republic video game, their story could have turned out very differently if Revan was a woman."

• So far everything is correct. It acknowledges that Revan was a man and that he and Juhani were good friends, as is assumed by the LS ending. It also states that the following story only took place in the original video game, and only if the player was a woman.
  

""Starting with their meeting at the meditation grove, Juhani was charmed by Revan's persuasive personality, and perhaps even a little smitten when Revan told her that she was a beautiful and talented young woman. "

• When Revan does meet Juhani in the grove, the player has several “persuade” options available to help talk down Juhani. This section assumes that Revan is charming and a persuasive talker, just as everybody in the game describes her as being. But even assuming that Revan doesn’t use her persuade options, she still had to talk Juhani into returning. However Juhani does react differently to the persuasion of a female Revan, as I described:
  

[Persuade] Come now, Juhani. You are a beautiful young woman who has much talent.
[Success] I thank you for your kind words, Jedi. You seem to know just what affects me...

• The bolded section being said only to female Revan. Juhani in this scene sounds clearly charmed, or else she would have had no reason to say it, or she would’ve said the same thing to male Revan.
  

"Juhani eventually returned to the Jedi Order at Revan's urging, and soon after the two of them would be teamed up on a mission to stop the Sith. Throughout their journey Revan and Juhani grew closer; despite the turmoil in Juhani's spirit, and a few rough periods when Juhani would blame the destruction of her home world Taris on her, Revan was kind and patient with her. Eventually she worked out the emotional problems that had long plagued her with Revan's help, and it made their friendship stronger for it."

• I see no problem with this part; all of this happens in the game regardless of Revan’s gender or romantic intentions, as it was part of the LS storyline. Moving along…
  

"Unknown (presumably) to Revan at the time, Juhani had begun developing feelings for her, feelings that she did her best to keep hidden so as not to jeopardize their mission or friendship. At one time Revan even asked Juhani jokingly if she was "coming on to her", and she snapped back at her by calling her a "self-centered fool" to hide her embarrassment."

• At no point in the game does Revan seem to acknowledge Juhani’s budding interest in her, so I said presumably she was unaware. It’s only logical to assume that while Juhani and Revan were becoming friends that Juhani would be developing feelings for her; Juhani eventually falls for her, and those feelings didn’t just spring up over night. Juhani did keep her feelings a secret, as evident by their final conversation where Juhani begins by saying she might not ever have another chance to tell her, and then struggled to tell her even after that. I speculated as to her reasons, because duty and rejection are just universal themes when it comes to unrequited romance. Revan does get the option of asking Juhani if she was coming onto her, though maybe I took some liberty with the motivations behind Juhani snapping back at her. I suppose it’s just as possible that she was genuinely angry at her, I chose to interpret it as embarrassment.
  

"However after she, Revan, and Jolee were forced to confront Darth Malak's new apprentice on the roof of the Rakatan Temple, she sensed that their journey together would soon be coming to and end, one way or another. Fearing that she would never get another chance to voice her feelings, she finally opened up and poured her heart out and confessed that she loved her. Whatever Revan's feelings towards her, they would not stay together for long."

• All of this is true as well; the final conversation will only take place with Juhani if the player is female, has followed her sub-plot to completion, and talks to her after defeating Bastila (but before deactivating the shields). That final talk goes as follows:
  

"Juhani:This may be the last time I have a chance to talk to you...I just want you to know that I...that I..."
Revan: You do not need to say it, Juhani.
Juhani: But I feel I must. I have never said this before...I...I... I care for you. I do not know why. I do not know if anything will be possible, or if you even return what I feel. But I do know that it is there. I am sorry if this upsets you. I am so sorry if I am wrong, but I cannot deny what it is that I feel.
Revan: I feel the same way, Juhani.
Juhani: Now that I have put myself in this position, I know not what to say.
Revan: We have gone past words.
Juhani: Yes. I thank you. But as much as I may care for you, and you for me, first we must deal with Malak. After there will be time to sort things out between us.

• If there is any other way to interpret that conversation as anything but romantic intentions, I would be amazed to see it. Especially considering it's an exclusive, seperate line of dialogue from the male and non-romantic female version. And just in the interests of leaving the article ambiguous, I didn’t even say whether or not Revan returned her feelings. Regardless if they stayed together or not, Revan left the Republic a few months later for the unknown regions, and left everybody behind.
  
• This was one of just a few possible outcomes; aside from the canonical LS Male story, a LS Female could have not returned Juhani’s feelings, or fell to the dark side and killed her when she became the reborn Sith Lord. But since that was not the focus of the section, I decided to omit them. If someone else wants to add those possibilities back in they’re welcome to. But can we please put this debate to rest and put away all the revert wars and "disputed" tags? Master Kavar 23:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The problem is that, due to a bug in the game script, it is possible to get that final romance conversation, or at least a portion of it, as a male Revan. I used to hang around the BioWare and Obsidian message boards a lot and there were numerous reports of Male Revan characters getting that final conversation.–Sentry^Talk 23:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

        • Yeah, my verdict is in... she... likes girls. I mean doesn't the databank quote ("Depending on player choices, Juhani may be a romantic interest in the story, regardless of the gender of the player character.") seal the deal? Cutch 07:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

              • The movies and EU sections of the databank talk about fictional things are canon, unless they are overridden by later canon. In contrast, the BTS section talks about real-life facts and therefore can sometimes be wrong. - Sikon 03:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Wrong'…but worthy of mentioning in our BTS section nonetheless. Cutch 06:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes but why should we do this? Its an importent factor really, and if we ignore this whats to say people will want to ignore other things? Its best left as it is? Jedi Dude 10:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • How about we don't? If people can't handle it, they will be better off sticking to entertainment they will find more palatable, like VeggieTales or Davey and Goliath. I'd recommend Looney Tunes, but then they'd have to go to the Looney Tunes wiki and edit out all the references to Bugs Bunny's cross-dressing. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 13:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
    • "Political Correctness is just inverted McCarthyism." - Dennis Miller Cutch 17:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
      • That's not a solution, that's just letting the ignorant and prejudice have their way. If we're going to omit Juhani's optional relationship with Revan, then we might as well set Revan and Exile back to gender neutral characters to appease the vandals on those pages too. Interesting so far that those same vandals haven't showed up yet to debate Master Kavar 19:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

• Well, if cut content from KOTOR2 makes it into the behind-the-scenes sections of articles, why not include this information in this BTS section? Moreover, Abe Lincoln wasn't all that honest. Cutch 20:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
• If two official sources, the game script, and all of the dialogue I have transcribed here isn't a strong enough "basis" for you Aniki, I honestly don't know what would be. How much more proof do you need, or are you just objecting out of principal because you don't like where that evidence leads? Master Kavar 20:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Kuralyov, grow up and try to stick to defending the content of this article without making baseless personal attacks on people. That fact that you are taking any difference of opinion so personally greatly damages your credibility on this issue. [Redacted by administration] Aniki21 14:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Very little proof? The Databank and the actual decompiled game files are very little proof? I've said it before and I'll say it again: saying something repeatedly doesn't make it true. Your argument is no argument, and consensus is against you. Deal with it. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 14:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Here's an idea: why don't we present the precedents (i.e. other speculative information in other BTS sections) and put it to a vote? As a side note, what is everyone complaining about? IT'S IN THE FREAKING BEHIND THE SCENES SECTION! WE'RE NOT SAYING IT'S CANON!!!! Cutch 15:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• I'm still sort of confused on how that "romance" is canon since Revan was a male. Theoretically, does that whole line of action exist since Revan was male? Atarumaster88 20px ^{(Audience Chamber)} 15:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

O.K. let’s call the non canon Juhani/female Revan relationship a romance. How does this necessarily make her a lesbian?
Because Juhani has an attraction to women and not men, and wants to pursue a relationship with female Revan, and not male Revan. That makes her a lesbian. And I need to point out again it's not just me calling it a romance, the game writer, game script, AND the Star Wars Databank says that Juhani likes women too. Is that clear enough yet?
Even more perplexing, how does this make her an “open lesbian”?.
It's not as perplexing as you make it sound; Juhani openly admits these feelings to Revan at the end of their journey, that's where the 'openly lesbian' part comes from. For all we know there could already be more EU women who are lesbians but we don't know it yet, or that more characters' sexuality could be retconned in the future, but as of now Juhani is the only known character who is a lesbian. Although technically female Revan could be considered the first lesbian possibly, since it's the player that chooses which romance to pursue. If you really think that final conversation is so vague, I'd like to see any other possible meaning it could have other than romantic intentions. Your now arguing against official sources because you believe that their conversation is too vague and open to interpretation, but the intentions of the game writers, designers, and her entry in the Star Wars databank is anything but unclear.

• All I'm saying, just for the record: You would think people who read about aliens and a mystical energy field would be more open minded. Contrary to what people seem to think, we actually know what we are doing here. We aren't a bunch of hyperactive fanboys here, we are serious Star Wars fans who report on facts, and do original research into Star Wars fandom. We have had our lowpoints (ie the Great Edit War on Palpatine) but trust us: We aren't doing this just to push an agenda. -- SFH 02:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Well Darth Culator, you have certainly solidified your credibility on this issue with the exceptional level of maturity and objectivity you have shown here. The further correction of this article is inevitable so personal attacks aren't going to get you anywhere. Aniki21 04:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

• Regardless of what he said, (and I personally don't agree with his approach) there was really no need to respond to that. Suffice to say, that post did not help promote civility. Culator, if you read this, I encourage you to ignore Aniki21's comment- responding probably won't accomplish anything. Atarumaster88 20px ^{(Audience Chamber)} 05:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Let's just settle this

It's been five days now, long enough for everyone to have their say I think. The over-all consensus to me seems to be keeping the article the way it is, in which case we can take down the disputed tag. If that is not how you feel, the time to voice your concerns and suggest changes should be now. And by changes I don't mean suggesting removing any mention of Juhani's sexuality, since the evidence more than defends its inclusion. :P I'd like to finish this with all parties satisfied, but not at the cost of ommiting controversial information. Master Kavar 08:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Well, I apologize for not looking at this sooner. I forgot to place it on my watchlist. I'm not here to argue about removing Juhani's sexuality, but I'm curious as to why the romance section is so big. I mean, I know "sex sells" in media, but on a wikia? Case in point, I don't think Wikipedia's article on Marilyn Monroe talks the most about the parts of her people tend to remember most. It could be argued that it's a violation of NPOV to place an emphasis on the romance segment. I mean, Leia and Han, Luke and Callista/Luke and Mara, and Jaina and Zekk don't have a romance section as long as this one. Atarumaster88 20px ^{(Audience Chamber)} 03:08, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • It wasn't my intention to place extra emphasis on the romance section really; it does seem a bit long in comparison with other sections of its kind, but in a sense it's a bit like re-explaining the entire story between where Revan met Juhani up until the end. I think that's just the nature of describing an alternate storyline like this one. But if you think it's too long, how would you suggest slimming it down? Master Kavar 03:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
    • For a romance section about an alternate storyline that doesn't exist in continuity, I definitely think it needs slimming down. I suggest the removal of the sentence starting with "This friendship was not always easy . . . "- doesn't seem to add any new information. The sentence after that can actually be moved up to the main article- it is true for both genders of Revan. I question the value of the direct quotes in the following paragraph, though I could concede that. The sentence "However, after she, Revan, and Jolee . . . " similarly contributes nothing of value to the segment- it's already in the main article body. Finally, the last paragraph could be slimmed down some- that first sentence is too long. That's my take. Atarumaster88 20px ^{(Audience Chamber)} 04:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Your points are very well taken; in retrospec I did make it unnecessarily long, though I still maintain that it was all true and within context. Hopefully this latest revision should be enough to please almost everyone. Master Kavar 06:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
        • Thank you. This latest revision is much better- it gets the point across without being overly lengthy. You might also want to check the trivia section for another sexuality mention that could be removed. I don't know, but I would think we'd want to put it all in the same place.

The Information in this article seems... wrong

Ok... so she's seven in KotOR? What?

Whoever at LucasFilm placed the battle of Cathar at 3963 is obviously mistaken... it MUST have been one of the planets that the Mandalorians messed up BEFORE the MAIN Mandalorian Wars, during the period from 3976 BBY to 3963 BBY... especially since it's outside of the Republic anyway.

Urg. LucasFilm's continuity guys are rubbish. (195.92.168.166 12:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC))

• You raise a good point; Juhani states that Cathar was attacked before the Republic entered the Mandalorian wars, it was one of the reasons the Republic didn't intervene. Otherwise Juhani herself would not fit properly into continuity. Lucas Arts may have the authority to retcon whatever they want, but not if it's going to leave such a glaring plot hole. So what do we do about it? Exclude the new date, or use it and put aside a simply note the descrepencies, as was done with Kreia's article? Master Kavar 14:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I've just taken a look over at the Battle of Cathar article. I think it would be worthwhile noting the descrepencies in that article... because it seriously looks like Dan Wallace made another boo-boo. Sentry mentions that it was retconned, but retcons are supposed to fix things. The original (pre Mando War) date for the Battle of Cathar didn't NEED fixing... Dan could have had ANY battle be what galvanised Revan and had him marching off to war. Why did it have to be the battle of Cathar? (Ulicus 17:27, 5 November 2006 (UTC))
    • I don't particularly like the retcon, but I think that it can be made to work. If I remember correctly, Juhani never states how old she was when she left her home world, so the date of the battle doesn't really change her age. I am guessing that she was in her teens when she arrived on Taris.–Sentry^Talk 23:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

• Could we please keep complaints about the Juhani's sexuality stuff in the correct section? -- I need a name (Complain here) 02:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • He's obviously incapable of dropping the issue, despite being both factually incorrect and overruled by consensus. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 02:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
• Juhani states that she was a baby when her parents fled Cathar, but there's still a few unknowns. Like how long it took them to settle on Taris, or if Cathar's mature more quickly than most near-human species. But as it stands, the new chronology places Juhani's age at what, 17 by the start of the game? Master Kavar 02:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Why can't we just have two Battles of Cathar? Havac 06:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

@ Havac What, the Mandalorians left it standing the first time? :P

@ Sentry, I'm almost certain that Juhani states that she was a baby when she fled Cathar, and, either way - she refers to it as her homeworld. I wouldn't call a place I'd only lived in since my teens my "hometown"... it's a mistake, pure and simple, unless the situation that I inquired about over at the Battle of Cathar talkpage is what's gone down. (Basically, does the NEC say that Revan went to war straight after the battle of cathar, or straight after the "full details" had become known, ala the Revan article. If it's ala the Revan article, everything can be reconciled, as it's just a case of the full details not becoming known for several years :) (Ulicus 01:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC))

I just realized how weird this retcon actually is; 3963 BBY is listed as the year that Juhani was born, Cathar was attacked, and that Juhani's parents fled to Taris. That's all fine and good, but it's also listed as the year that Revan joined the war, and if that was the case Juhani would have met Revan as a baby. Master Kavar 01:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

• That could depend on the Cathar maturation rate. -- SFH 02:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Are you joking? I'm assuming so, but if not I cannot believe for a second that cathars are fully grown by the time they're seven. Neitehr can I believe that they'd have time to become fully trained Jedi by that point. (Ulicus 15:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC))
• Maturity rate is out of the question, as the Ultimate Alien Anthology says that Cathar are considered children until 11, young adults until 17, adults until 49, middle aged until 65, old until 89, and venerable past that. She'd still be a child if she was 7, and thus completely incompetent... which she wasn't. Piequals3 07:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Romance section

I put a {{rewrite}} template under the "Romance" section—the text currently reads like fan fiction. It should be rewritten in an OOU tone. --Imp 21:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

What exactly about it sounds "fan-fictiony" to you? It follows the story line as it happened in-game. It's a lower form of canon, but it's still canon to an extent. Just like the dark side Revan ending, which is also written IU perspective, and curiously without complaint. Master Kavar 16:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

"Starting with their meeting at the meditation grove, Juhani was swayed by Revan's persuasive personality, and even a little charmed when Revan told her that she was a beautiful and talented young woman. This would mark the beginning of a long and binding kinship that carried them through to the end of the Jedi Civil War." I'm sorry, but that's just speculation sprinkled with a little fanwank. --Imp 16:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, was Juhani not swayed by Revan's personality to leave the dark side? Wasn't Juhani charmed when she told her she was a beautiful and talented young woman? Didn't their friendship bind them until the end of the civil war? I don't see how I speculated on any of those points, regardless if you didn't like the way they were presented. I'll say I don't appreciate your fanwank remark either. Master Kavar 16:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Aha, but there is no evidence Revan said exactly that to her, nor that the romance progressed past a certain point. I meant no offense with "fanwank"; it's simply a term for a very specific type of fan fiction that embraces fan service. --Imp 17:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Aha!...Yes, you got me there. I included it because it's the first time Juhani reacts differently based on your character's gender. Maybe it's not completly necessary, but it made a logical starting point. And since no offense was meant, none is taken. My point is that I like the way it's written now; and I'm afraid writing it OOU will take something away from it. But then you're the mod, and my opinion is obviously biased (since I wrote the thing)but it seems completly unecessary when other BtS sections are written the same way. Master Kavar 17:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I completely agree with --Imp. Almost the exact same observation was made a while back yet very little was done about it. It’s nice that Master Kavar has finally admitted his biased position. I knew it was only a matter of time before an unbiased administrator took notice of this. 67.142.130.16 20:26, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I never claimed I was unbiased mysterious stranger. ;) I'd like to see anyone who has an opinion and isn't biased. But that's not the same as saying that my writing in biased. I still stand behind everything I wrote. And of all the people who commented only three were against it, which isn't too bad as far as I'm concerned. Master Kavar 22:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Well your opinion and your writing are biased. As pointed out by --Imp, what you have presented is largely unsupported by facts. Much of your "unbiased" writings consist of blatant improvisation. If presenting something as fact based on the way it “might” have happened isn’t biased, I don’t know what is. Jedi Avatar 23:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Imp believes that my writing was biased, but SFH also posted here a number of times in support of the article, and nobody has accused him of being a biased mod. Once again I've been accused of presenting statements without supporting facts, and each time I can trace any excerpt to an actual conversation that takes place in game, that any reasonable person could come to the same conclusion. And of course I'm presenting the romance on how it could have happened, because that's the way this non-canon romance plays out in the video game if it's followed through to completion. I don't see anyone rushing off to delete the Revan/Carth romance section, or the dark side ending. Master Kavar 00:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• "I don't see anyone rushing off to delete the Revan/Carth romance section" - Of course they're not, because that's a heterosexual romance. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 02:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Juhani was a bisexual female Cathar Jedi who followed Revan during the time of the Jedi Civil War. In aiding Revan she played a role in destroying the Star Forge and defeating the Sith Empire under Darth Malak.

• It is perfectly valid for the article to discuss Juhani's sexuality, but is it really necessary to define her by her sexual preference within the first sentence of the introduction? I realize that you are trying to make a point Darth Culator, but honestly, the inclusion of the link to Wikipedia's bisexuality article seems to be taking things a step too far. I mean, do we describe Anakin Skywalker as a heterosexual male human Jedi Knight or R2-D2 as an asexual utility droid? IMHO, the subject of Juhani's bisexuality is already emphasized far out of proportion to the amount of information we actually have on the subject… –Sentry^Talk 00:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The really funny thing is, I don't think that Star Wars needs to have any references to a character's sexuality at all. And I'm probably more conservative than the person (and there really is only one, according to CheckUser) who wants to gut this article. But they approached the issue the wrong way, and now I have to defend the opposite side because I hate vandals more than I care about and particular moral viewpoint. I'll go ahead and revert myself now, I've had enough fun at the vandal's expense for today. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk)(TINC) 00:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• I assure you, my problem with the section is entirely restricted to its prose. --Imp 00:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

IMHO, the subject of Juhani's bisexuality is already emphasized far out of proportion to the amount of information we actually have on the subject… With all respect, I disagree. All references to Juhani's sexuality has been confined to two small Behind the Scenes sections and two points of trivia, if anything it's one of the smallest parts of her page. If anything has been emphasized out of proportion, it's the debate on the subject, that somehow has yet to be embraced as canon despite numerous canon sources (It's the Jedi Exile's gender debate all over again). Regardless, I've said my peace, and if Imp still feels more changes need to be made I'll accept that, even if I don't agree with it. Master Kavar 03:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Can I go on a limb and suggest something that will probably be unpopular and make people mad? Revan has been canonically defined as light-side male. Therefore, we know that he obviously never killed Juhani, so Belaya's upset dialogue concerning Juhani never canonically occurred. Likewise, if the ability to romance Juhani is limitted to a female Revan, it also is not canonical. Mightn't that suggest that her sexual orientation is also non-canon? Just a thought, and excuse me if something similar has already been said, I just skimmed through some of the previous discussions.Darth Ceratis 04:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

• If we go with that, then it could also be non-canon that T3-M4 has resistance to memory wipes, as he only demonstrates that if he is chosen to save the party on the Leviathan. It would also be non-canon that Carth Onasi never thought he would love again after losing his wife (or did I make that up?), as he only mentions that to a female Revan. In KOTOR2, suddenly there is no evidence that the Handmaiden is even Force sensitive. The case of the three Jedi Masters and their lightsaber forms becomes completely sporadic, with them only knowing whichever form they happen to be teaching the Exile in that particular game. No, I'm of the opinion that information gathered from might-have-been scenarios can still be accurate. -BaronGrackle 16:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Good points. Although the T3 thing probably would still be canon, since it fits into the rest of the canonical play of the game.Darth Ceratis 02:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Juhani and the Battle of Cathar

Could we please sort this out? It's been a topic of conversation on and off for months now. Juhani's backstory does not mesh AT ALL with the chronological placement of the Battle of Cathar. Juhani fled her original homeworld *years* before the Mandalorian Wars Proper began. The NEC was wrong. Just like it was with "Darth Kreia". Surely the source material takes canonical precedence over the book that messed up the interpretation of said source material? (Ulicus 18:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC))

Here is what Juhani has to say on the matter:

The "early days of the Mandalorian war" might seem like it means 3963 BBY, given the start of the wars proper, but - coupled with the information below, it is quite clearly referring to early days of the period in 3976-3963 BBY when the Mandalorians were attacking worlds that weren't Republic members.

They can be allied to the Republic without being members... as we see below. (I don't recall this dialog from the game, it may have been cut)

This gels perfectly with Dorak's tales of the Mandalorians first ravaging worlds beyond Republic space. So, DID it happen in 3963 BBY? Thus making Juhani seven years old in KotOR, and having no time to have her Taris backstory?

No, it did not. I don't care what the NEC says.(Ulicus 01:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC))

Jedi Padawan?

Where does it say anywhere in the game that Juhani is a Padawan when she joins Revan and crew to find the Star Forge, especially when she addresses Revan as a "Padawan"?--Jedi Kasra 21:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

• It doesn't. In fact, there is more information that indicates the opposite. When Juhani is speaking of her Jedi Master, Quatra, she says that she could not remain to see how this one last trial would end up. So Quatra, therefore, obviously was at the end of Juhani's training and moved on to find other Padawans to teach the ways of the Jedi to. To me, this says that Juhani, with Revan's help of course, was successful and passed her trial. In fact, she even tells Revan this. I would say that this should make her a Jedi Knight. However, since we have no definitive answer on the matter, it would be safer to simply say "Jedi" in the article until we find out more.--Master Dakari 03:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• It seems to me that Juhani had indeed passed her trial to become a Jedi knight, not from the dialog, but from the fact that she was wearing the robes of a Jedi Knight (the red/orange variant) when she first joined the crew of the Ebon Hawk on her departure from Dantooine.

--CeilidhMakami 10:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Juhani's survival, revisited

So I figured this is better than restarting the first, over-a-year-old discussion at the top of the page. Anyway, we treat it as canon that Juhani survived here, and the explanation in the top discussion is that the Databank confirms it. From the DB entry, though, here's all it says on that section:

Her despair created a disturbance in the Force, agitating nearby animals and casting a gloomy pall on that area of the Dantooine grasslands. A Jedi initiate found Juhani there, but the Cathar was at first not yet ready to come out from seclusion. She was still grappling with her own demanding standards.

It ends with her still in the grove, as Revan finds her. I don't see anything in that that necessitates her surviving the encounter. - Lord Hydronium 22:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks to {{GameLS}}, this is now taken care of. - Lord Hydronium 09:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Her master, Quatra, underestimated Juhani's ferocious instincts. At the Jedi training compound on Dantooine, Juhani lashed out against her instructor and accidentally killed her.

Well, from this quote I took from the Databank, it is clear that the writer of Juhani's page was simply never successful in redeeming Juhani when he or she played the game. It's as simple as that. And I know this because what is quoted above it wrong. Juhani never killed Quatra. What really happened was that Quatra was simply feigning death in order to test Juhani one last time. This is clearly explained in the game when the PC is finally able to redeem her and convince her to submit to the Enclave Council and ask for forgiveness.

But in any case, this would actually not be the first time the Databank was wrong when talking about a KotOR character. They also said that Jolee Bindo (and his addition to Revan's party) was not crucial to the storyline and that the game could be completed without him. In fact, here's what they say:

Though a useful ally, Jolee is not crucial to the completion of the KOTOR storyline.

Uhm... WRONG! Has anyone ever tried to complete even Kashyyyk without Jolee? Much less the entire game? Goodluck.--Master Dakari 04:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Lost Jedi?

Why is this under her list of affiliations? Like the article itself says, we don't even know if she {and Jolee Bindo, for that matter.} survived the First Jedi Purge. So until we we find proof that she survived, I'm taking this off the article. Besides, the only Jedi party member from the first game that we know survived was Bastila Shan.--Jedi Kasra 21:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Revan and a young Juhani

It should be noted in the article that Revan was the one who convinced Juhani to become a Jedi. --Jedi Kasra 21:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• No it wasn't. Checked the TLK files (I have them available again). Here's what she says: "The one whose troops freed me and let me dream of seeking out and joining the Order. I... idolized him." However, she doesn't say explicitly that Revan came down and invited her to join the Order. More likely it was one of his followers who did that and his actions that inspired her. This is supported by another line made shortly afterward (if this dialogue is said after the big revelation): "Yes, it was you. I never saw you, else I would have recognized you, but it was your army that freed me from the slavers."

So no, Revan didn't meet Juhani personally. --Niirfa-sa 05:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

New Image

Is there anyway we can get a new image for the article? What happened to the image that used to be the main image for the Jedi Guardian article?--Jedi Kasra 00:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• O.K. I found the image. Here it is. Maybe someone could crop it to have her head instead of a full body shot.--Jedi Kasra 00:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Juhani was a Lesbian

Hm... not sure what more to say, but Juhani was a lesbian. How do I know that? Cause I wrote her, that's why. Probably shouldn't have said that either. I asked if I could, the boss said yes as long as I made it subtle. Didn't know how well that kind of thing would go over with LA.

People also seem to have the impression that this was a huge romance that was somehow cut back by LucasArts or someone. It wasn't. It was more of an Easter egg/little side plot thing I got to add in because it didn't require extra resources (only text which was being rewritten anyway) and my boss probably thought it would make me a happier employee.

Incidentally there were a whole bunch of lines written for Juhani where she comments on her distrust of Canderous (who I also wrote most of btw) that never seem to have made it into the final game. At least, I never saw them in any playthroughs or heard any comment about them. That was disappointing because I had hoped to stir something up there. :/ Oh well... —Unsigned comment by Hrungnir (talk • contribs)

• If you truly are by any chance the one who wrote her, I must say you made a lot of people happy, you didn't just stir up the bunch of homophobes you see whining around.--Jinger 23:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

• It's obviously not the developer... "I asked if I could, the boss said yes as long as I made it subtle" sounds most suspicious, haha. The writers just supply their material (yeah, there's nitpicking here and there), but the entire field of the character and his or her lines were not written by the same people (nor the same people who created the character), ie, one writer did not write for a specific character but split the writing between more than one individual. This mostly includes scripting. Anyways, I've played the game so many times I've yet to see anything "intimate." You have to remember her entire character is very "cat-like," and we knows cats are affectionate dispite many things, but that is besides the point. And before someone calls me a homophobe, I honestly would not care if LGBT characters were ever added, I just don't see this in Juhani at all. Dreadhand 08:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

• When/Why were all references of Juhani being a lesbian removed from this article? It does not matter what you would prefer to see or not see in the character (or what the supposed "writer" intended), but it DOES matter what was in the dialogue of the game. And there is a female-Revan only romance option with Juhani. At the very least, this should be mentioned in the "behind the scenes" section of the article, as Revan is officially a male and therefore that romance was non-canon. (But there are also implications that Juhani was in a romantic relationship with another female padawan, the quest-giver.) Juhani is the first lesbian character in STAR WARS, possibly the first homosexual at all, and that is notable. fodigg ^(talk) | 19:59, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
  • To clarify, yes I am objecting to the fact that the word "lesbian" was removed in favor of "female that could be romanced by a female". Omitting the word implies that the word is obscene. It is not. fodigg ^(talk) | 20:02, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
    • Of course it's not obscene, it's an oou term though. I don't think it belongs there, that's why I removed it.--Jinger 17:32, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
      • Since when are descriptive terms being used as in-universe and out-of-universe? That is a meaningless distinction. Language is language. Furthermore, you removed it from a "behind the scenes" section. fodigg ^(talk) | 18:07, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Reminder

That's also a warning, at this point. This isn't the place for social commentary, or vague personal attacks ("homophobe") on users or fans. Message boards and blogs are the place for that, not encyclopedias. Graestan^(Talk) 23:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
