Zayne's Master

• A note on Zayne's Master; the name comes from the Dark Horse Audiocast over at Sw.com's Comic-Con section, so this might not be the correct spelling (though this spelling has been used in other fan works). That's why I haven't made it a link yet - Kwenn
  • Speaking of that audiocast, you wouldn't be willing to *wink, wink* it to me? --Imp 20:31, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
    • Can't, since you can only hear it online at Hyperspace. Besides, it's pretty boring; the news has already been covered over at TF.N, and aside from the names of new characters - which are also around on the forums there - there's nothing worth hearing - Kwenn
      • Ah, all right. Could you post the list of the new characters here? --Imp 20:37, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
        • Characters (helps if you have the KotOR comic cover for reference): kid with green sabre at front is the (anti-)hero, Zayne; the old guy is known as 'Camper'; the chick with the staff is Jarael (sp?); the Valorum-a-like Jedi dude at the back is Master Lusion (sp?), the badass droid is L-B, and the Snaggletooth (yep, confirmed as such) at the bottom is The Griff. No major characters from KotORs I or II feature (though may well have cameos), though locations from the games are seen and events are referenced (I assume the Mando War). Oh, and the audience at Comic-Con went wild when the DH guys announced the name of this comic series! - Kwenn
• Just made a major edit to the page based on the comics through issue 2. I'll be going through and adding more to all of the KOTOR comics characters in the next few days.--Breathesgelatin 08:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Carrick?

• What's the source for Zayne's last name? MarcK 04:49, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Comics Continuum has posted the February releases from Dark Horse. The blurb reveals Zayne's full name - Kwenn

Exile?

Zayne cannot be the Exile. There is one reason, but it overrides any speculation: according to Leland Chee, Exile's gender hasn't yet been determined by the time the first KOTOR comic was released. Of course, if they decide to make Exile male, Zayne can always be retconned to be the same person in the process of making the comic series, but it couldn't have been the original intent. - Sikon [Talk] 04:18, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• This is impossible, it mentions in the Knowledge board "please, no one ask about the Exile's gender, she is canonically female". StarWarsDude2007 23:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
• Well I actually agree. Chee is also on the record as saying that he's rooting for the Exile to be female. But a LOT of fans on the Dark Horse boards are thinking that Zayne will be the Exile or another KOTOR character. I'm more inclined to believe that he will ally himself with one of them. I can edit the BTS if you think it's best however. - Breathesgelatin 05:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Chee maybe rooting for it, but it may not happen that way. I see only three possibilities. Zayne is either the Jedi Exile (which would mean the idea of female would be out), Darth Nihilus (that would be cool and interesting), or another Kotor character. DarthMalus 18:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree, but his story is so much like the Exile's that it's almost eerie. The thing about easy connections, the Mandalorian wars, and "The young Padawan's fate was, at last, in the hands of the five Masters." that's the Exile, pure and simple. —Unsigned comment by 141.154.216.52 (talk • contribs)
    • You forgot the fourth possibility: he is just that, Zayne Carrick. Why does every single character need to be connected to the game, especially given Chris Avellone's comment that KOTOR is notorious for constantly introducing new cast? (I know it, I know it! Lucien is Kavar and Q'anilia is Visas! It's so blatantly obvious!) - Sikon [Talk] 18:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
      • I think that these two (completely individual, separate, and no way related to KotOR II individuals) only prove that Zayne was at least meant to be the Exile, even if he isn't. —Unsigned comment by Bredd13 (talk • contribs)
      • You may have noticed that Chris Avellone isn't doing the comic. Kuralyov 03:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
        • Zayne couldn't have been meant to be the Exile, for the reason I mentioned. And while Avellone isn't doing the comics, he was speaking about the general trend of the KOTOR franchise, not Obsidian's policy. - Sikon [Talk] 05:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
          • • well now the exile is confirmed as female its deffo not going to be Zayne Jedi Dude 21:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Eye Color

Someone seems to be mistaken about a lot of KOTOR comics characters' eye colors. Looking at the last page of KOTOR 1, it seems that Zayne's eye color is brown. Definitely not blue as was previously in his infobox. If someone wants to call it hazel though... I'd be open to that. - Breathesgelatin 11:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Zayne is not Revan or Malak

I deleted that from the Article, there is no way Zayne is Revan or Malak, first and most importantly for Malak, Malak was his original name not an alias same with Revan and other then the fact Malak is a Bald, tall man. For Revan once again Revan is not an alias but his actual name and Revan was never described as mediocre like Zayne was. —Unsigned comment by 64.136.26.228 (talk • contribs)

• So? I think it's obvious to everyone but fanboys. - Sikon [Talk] 00:39, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, there is always a possibility. Malak was always referred to as Vader was referred to by Obi-Wan in ANH. Though for now, it's just Malak. --Redemption 15:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
    • After reading issue #6, I'm convinced that the Associate is Kreia and that Zayne is Sion. John Jackson Miller basically said that we are going to see some characters in the series "assume new identities" as characters from the games. Lonnyd 21:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Thank the maker that you deleted that. The crap that people come up with. And "assume new identities" sounds more like the comic book writers ignoring the game's storyline completely and doing whatever they want.

Image

File:Zaynewithouttext.jpg File:Zaynewithtext.jpg So. Here we have two image. Which display Zayne in full, lightsaber drawn. Perfect for infobox. However, do we go with the one with the text or do we go with the cropped (if I could, I would have simply gotten rid of the speech but that looked awful).--Redemption 15:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Personally, I like the photoshopped one. - Breathesgelatin 18:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • But as a rule we don't use Photoshopped images, at least not to that extent. Whiting out the text boxes is fine - Kwenn 18:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Speaking of images, this article is in dire need of some, just thought I would point that out as I don't have a scanner. Lonnyd 11:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
    • I can take care of that. So, the second one with a whited out text box? Alright. --Redemption 15:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
      • What if we changed the main image to this one:

http://img317.imageshack.us/img317/497/ze7zo.jpg

It's from Brian Ching's Blog, so it's official. Personally I prefer this one, since it's clearer and just as good. I've got a bigger version which I'll upload unto the wookiepedia, but I want opinions before doing so ;) --Sauron18 16:50 28 June 2006(CDT)

• There goes my image...good find btw ;) -Redemption 21:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks, there's a lot in his blog: Valius, Gryph, Lucien, Raana Tey, etc.... --Sauron18 16:50 28 June 2006(CDT)
    • • the current image is squashed, it looks riduclus. im not sure how to sort it... Jedi Dude 22:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
        • Refresh the page. That's what happens when someone uploads an image over another. -Redemption 22:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
          • I was wondering why the picture was changed? I know Cade has new clothing and style now, but the other one was better IMO, for the character's profile (Full Body, clear pic). I'll change it back, if someone disagrees we can talk here.--Sauron18 00:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
            • Is it me, or do Zayne's eyes in Turnabout look weird, like either replacements of dark side?
              • They do look yellow. Drewton 20:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

What if Zayne turns out to be...

Probably jumping the gun here a little bit but what if Zayne does turn out to be Sion, Nihilus, Malak, or whoever? Will the atricles simply merge together? Or would it simply give the Anakin/Vader treatment and keep them seperate? --Redemption 17:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• The pages would most likely be merged together,like how Darth Krayt's page got merged with Asharrad Hett's page after they were revealed to be one in the same in Legacy # 15. Although I highly doubt that he is either Sion, Malak, or Revan. StarWarsDude2007 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Zayne won't become Malak for obvious reasons (they are very different physically). If he becomes Nihilus or Sion, we can hold a vote. - Sikon [Talk] 17:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I guess it would depend on the nature of Zayne's personna. If he literally takes on another personna, as Anakin did, then we'd likely leave the articles as they are. But if he takes a new name, a la Dooku or Palpatine, we'd merge - Kwenn 17:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
    • If there is officiol word that he is Nihilus/Sion, then the articles will likely be merged. Why? Nihilus and Sion's articles are smaller than average. . .and, well, so is Zayne's, so combining these articles would make them significantly larger. Warhobbe 05:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Zayne's is smaller than average? What average? - Sikon [Talk] 05:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
        • I believe the "Destroyer of Worlds" prophecy is to vague to assume that it would be Nihilus considering that Sion/Atton blew up Peragus. Basically anyone can argue Zayne is such and such because they glassed a planet or two... Maybe that portion in the behind the scenes should be removed as tentative.
• I'm wondering if Zayne actually turns out to be Atton. Atton is the "fool" who hunted Jedi and conceals most aspects of his identity, including a rather dark past. This sounds very much like Zayne... or his possible future. Was his path down the Dark Side aided by the fact that he survived Serroco whilst Gryph was vaporised? He fits very well with this "big change" kahoot, except for the fact that Atton never knew of his force-sensitive nature and didn't become a Jedi until the Exile trained him. Still, Atton is a notorious liar and traitor - did he want the Exile (or Kreia) to know who he used to be before he was Atton? Retcons and/or a cunning measure of plot-bending (ie. Revan's mindwipe) could still make it possible. In any case, I feel that the Knights of the Old Republic series hasn't finished with Atton... --Kessel 19:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Zayne isn't Atton, for the very reasons you listed. - Sikon 04:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
• Zayne being Atton isn't impossible. I'm not sure whether the age is right, but with the smallest amount of lore bending it could be entirely plausible. Can we entirely trust Atton's word? --Kessel 07:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
• Revan would be a great possibility. Master Lucien uses the word "revanche"--nice foreshadowing. Also, I think of Zayne as a little more human(e) than Malak, Nihilus, or Sion. Revan was described more ambivalently than those three. We'll see. Naysayers abound, but I am thinking Revan. Graestan 04:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
• I think that he could be Atton because they do have similar physical also if the yellow lightsaber does mean he is a sentinel that would explain why Atton was trained to be a sentinel. Darth Nezzera^{(In umbris potestas est)}30px
• And I'm thinking your wrong. He's not Revan and Atton was never a Jedi. Revan's life and history was of course talked about in KOTOR I and II and Revan doesn't even come close to what Zayne did or how Zayne acted. Revan had diferent Jedi teachers than Zayne.

Zayne never expected to go far; he lacked confidence in his abilities, performed poorly for a future Jedi, and was treated as little more than a source of comic relief. his Jedi abilities did not advance as far as he might have hoped for while at the Academy.

he would be thrown right in the middle of the emerging Mandalorian Wars, chased by the Republic and the Mandalorians alike.

This is not Revan at all.

• Zayne is an anorexic bisexual android vampire magical girl from cyberspace. Everybody knows that. Now let's drop the issue. - Sikon 08:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
• Zayne is obviously not Malak, as Malak has been proven to be Alek Squiquargesimus(sp?) and, unless i'm mistaken, the "Revanchist Leader" is Revan. It states these in the articles of both Revan and Malak. - Elshnair 11:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • This is, of course, only speculation, but I think that Zayne becomes Nihilus, based on the 'Destroyer of Worlds' part. Drewton 01:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Obi-Wan

Don't see how this is relevant... - Sikon [Talk] 10:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

It shows that Zayne could end up like Obi-wan. That just because hes clumsy in trainying it doesnt mean he wont be powerful later on. --Darth Malice 17:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Saber color

Since when does saber color denote whether one is a "Jedi Sentinal" or not? - 205.188.117.7 19:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• • it doesn't, apart from in games. which this isn't Jedi Dude 19:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• So should this be in here? - Angel Blue 451 19:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Any game-based Jedi classes speculation certainly shouldn't be in the article. - Sikon [Talk] 19:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• I agree. I'll remove it. - Angel Blue 451 19:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • • However, it would seem that the author is consciously going with the color-to-class route. Notice how all 5 of the Taris Masters - save one - are Consulars, and all carry a green lightsaber; indicative of their class. The only exception is Lucien, who is a Guardian and carries the corresponding blade color (blue). I don't think this is mere coincidence.--Master Dakari 06:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
      • "It would seem" is not the same as "canon". And we don't know if Lucien is a Guardian, or even if all Jedi fall into one of these three categories to begin with. - Sikon 07:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Huh? I'm not following you. Agreed, a class for Zayne should not be listed because it hasn't been confirmed, and the reasonings behind his yellow lightsaber have been listed on John Jackson Miller's Star Wars blog. However, how do you not understand that Lucien is a Guardian? After Zayne has contacted Master Vandar, and he and Jarael rescue Gryph from suffocation in an environmental suite, Zayne makes the statement, "The masters on are ALL Consulars -- all but Lucien!" This would means he is either a Guardian or Sentinel. Considering he is wields a blue lightsaber (opposite his fellow master, consulars, who are equipped with their corresponding color of green), and has little love of, or patience with, meditating, and he is noted to be even more of a warrior than his own father (who was a great warrior Jedi who fought in the Great Sith War), then it is HEAVILY and explicitly implied, even if not stated directly, that he is a Jedi Guardian.--Master Dakari 23:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• No, this doesn't mean he was either a Guardian or Sentinel. We don't know if all Jedi are necessarily either Consulars or Sentinels or Guardians, even in the KOTOR era. - Sikon 05:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • This is not a matter of debate. The answer will come on it's own time.

--LordSquint25cnt 09:16, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Image caption

"Zayne during last talk with Jarael."

This should be changed, since it isn't the last time he talks to her. I can't think of anything at the moment.--Darth Oblivion^Comlink20px 03:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Affiliations

As we all know, Zayne basically ran away from the Jedi Order, thus he could not be considered to be affiliated with them or the Republic (Karath is also hunting for him). Being that he is technically an outlaw, wouldn't it be appropriate for "Formerly" to be placed in his affiliations and the infobox changed to a criminal one? --Redemption^20pxTalk 21:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But he hasn't committed any crimes, has he? even though he is on the run. Ajeanette 14 February 2007

• Actually, he did... He was involved in two scams (one on Vanquo and one on Telerath). - Sikon 11:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Well if you follow this line of thought then all of Masters Lucien, Q'Anilia, Feln, Xamar, Raana, Krynda Draay and Haazen should be given Criminal infoboxes. Zyane is still techinically a member of the Jedi Order... more so than his former masters. He is still affiliated with the Jedi Order and Republic even though he is very much so on the run from them. However, technically he is on the run from the Jedi Covenant who framed him. He committed scams for his own sake, but other than that he still has a very strong Jedi character. And he is even aiding the Republic and its citizens wherever he goes. I think he should keep a Jedi character infobox and shouldn't be listed as formerly until we know whether his situation is settled or not. Just my take on it. -- Master Dakari 19:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
    • I agree with Master Dakari, and the infobox has been changed. Jasca Ducato _{Sith Council} ^{Sith Campaign} 09:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Zayne and Master Vandar

In the article it says that Master Vandar taught him on the Dantooine Academy for a few years. Should we put Master Vandar as a "Known Master" of Zayne, or is this a case like Yoda where Vandar possibly taught most of the Jedi?--Jedi Kasra 09:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think it is the same situation as with Yoda. However, Yoda us still listen as a "Known Master" of many Jedi even after they moved on and became the assigned padawan to another Knight or Master. Some of these include Dooku, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. I don't think it would hurt if Vandar was listed as a known master to Zayne. He has clearly made a strong influence on the young Jedi, being the only Jedi Zayne trusts enough to contact, and the Homecoming issue suggests that Lucien Draay and his fellow masters reluctantly accepted their assigned padawans after seemingly being forced to do so. So, Zayne had to have had another master between his initial training as a Youngling and his time with Lucien.--Master Dakari 22:45, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Age

• Has there been any mention to Zayne's age yet?Darth Matas 22:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
• He's about 19. --Kessel 18:20, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Main Image

Hey, I recently noticed that KotoR artist Dustin Weaver released a sketch he made of Zayne in his livejournal. Now, this "sketch" is really quite complete (more so than his normal Zayne), and I think it would be perfect as a main image for this page, but I'm wondering, since the specific art itself isn't in the comics, whether we can actually use it here.

I remember hearing once that an artist's sketch of a character can only be used if he actually draws the character into star wars canon at some point, and this is the case here, so I dunno. Anyways, for those wondering, they can find the image here:

http://dustinweaver.livejournal.com/1873.html

I really like it, and think it would be great for a main image, and I'd like to hear what other people have to say. --Sauron18 21:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Being that the image is found only on the blog and we are already in the red with the current one (a consensus that has yet to be closed), it would be best if we stayed with what we have until consensus is closed...which by the way doesn't look good towards blog images so don't get your hopes up. --Redemption^20pxTalk 21:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Revan and Malak using Zayne

I know you'll think that I'm crazy, but could it be that Revan and Malak made Zayne the Covenant's distraction, so they could get to the Star Forge? I can't believe those dudes would do something evil like that to poor little Zayne! Well, if the Covenant was going to prevent the Sith from returning, too bad it didn't happen after Revan and Malak were born! Get it? - Will Karner 3:04 P.M., 5 December 2007

Enough! We are all gowing tired of your pointless speculations. - Lord KAJ ^{– Company Office} 20:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Wanna bet, wise guy? At least, I have a few users on my side. And by the way, you forgot the "r" in growing. If some of my "pointless speculations" come true, you guys owe me an apology! - Will Karner 5:15 P.M., 5 December 2007

Oh forgive me for leaving the "r" out wont you. I really dont care if you have users on your side, and if and when any of your pointless speculation turns out to be true, noboady will owe you an apology because until it is confirmed it is just that...SPECUALTION. Which is not allowed here. Are we getting the message im sending?. - Lord KAJ ^{– Company Office} 22:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Knight

I know that Zayne's still a Padawan, but he will become a great Jedi Knight. I would just like to know when and soon the time will be. Do you all believe he would turn into a Knight of the Old Republic? Trust in the Force and you will find the answer.72.14.84.112 13:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC), 23 December 2007

There is no such thing as the force, it is fictional. I highly recomend you take yourself off into the big wide world and start interacting with people instead of trying to provoke users into talking to you. - Lord KAJ ^{– Company Office} 15:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Now hold on a minute there, fella! What I'm trying to say is that we can't leave the category "Pre Ruusan Jedi trainees" on forever. Zayne has to become a Knight someday and somehow. I just know it! And I'm just asking you to give it a bit of thought. 75.69.169.86 21:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Skywalker?

Errrr, I haven't read the KOTR comics before, so apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree, or going over old stuff, but having just read the first issue of VECTOR, that seems to suggest the Zayne is a Skywalker. (ie the figures in the eon spanning vision at the beginning are all undeniably Skywalkers, with the exception of Zayne). Zombi.Wan Kenobi 13:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

• No, it does not suggest that Zayne is a Skywalker. MuanN 21:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Maybe, but what if Zayne WAS a Skywalker ancestor? Perhaps on one of his sisters' side of the family or such. 72.82.4.250 05:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
    • We don't deal with what ifs. Please quit while your ahead with the pointless and irrelevant speculation. --Redemption^25px(Talk) 05:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
      • Issue 31 confirms that Zayne is not a Skywalker in any way. On the letters-page at the end of the issue, assistant editor Freddye Lins writes: "Zayne is not related to the Skywalkers. Sorry to burst your bubble for that kind of continuity!" Jediphile 16:03, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Not smart enough

Why doesn't Zayne just change his name, his clothes, and hair so the Covenant won't know who he is? 72.221.69.79 00:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

The Force. Zayne could easily disguise his physical form, but he couldn't possibly disguise himself from Q'Anilia's Force Sight. Furthermore, he is certainly not experienced enough to practise special disguising Force techniques, such as "Art of the Small". --Kessel 13:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't he at least prove to his masters that he's not the future Sith by demonstrating his actions of kindness and compassion? Revan showed his to the Rakatan elders when he was redeemed, so why not Zayne? 75.69.169.86 19:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Infobox image

Would this work for the infobox image?

File:Zayneinfobox_Layer_1.jpg Drewton 02:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• Per a previous consensus vote, we are not to use imagery that is exclusively found on artists blog - even if the said artist regularly does the pencils of said character. We can only use model sheets found on the blogs for behind the scenes sections. --Redemption^25px(Talk) 02:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Ah, okay. Is there a more recent one we could use from the comics, though (besides Vector)? The current one looks more like a Hobbit. I remember a good picture of him from #21; I'll see if I can scan it tomorrow. Drewton 03:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

This one would work very good once a bigger picture is released. thumb|left|150px| Drewton 16:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC) Here's a cropped version from a bigger picture: thumb|right|150px|Cropped version Drewton 12:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Any thoughts? Drewton 00:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

His eyes aren't very clear and he's looking away from us... and it's all from a bit of an odd angle. Oh, and is it me, or does Zayne look like he's suffering from typical dark-side scrunched-up grayface in this image? --Kessel 20:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

When we get a high-res version of this image, it might look nice for the infobox. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 21:57, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I concur - and it looks like Revan might get a new infobox image too. --Kessel 13:26, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Civil War complications

I seriously can't get why Revan and Malak's betrayal, as someone said in a revision summary, has "nothing to do with Zayne?' What's that supposed to mean anyway? Couldn't you at least allow to put in what will happen in the future, as in the Sith returning because the Covenant was so blind to see who would turn to the dark side? That's not fanon or speculation, is it? I just want a right to know! 72.82.9.127 21:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• We don't know what exactly the Covenant knows. Maybe they do know Alek will turn. Who knows. Keep that kind of crap out. --Redemption^25px(Talk) 01:31, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Pray tell me, do you mean Zayne wasn't a part of the Civil War or you wanted him to have nothing to do with it? 72.82.9.127 00:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Zayne might not even live to the time of the Jedi Civil War. Nothing's been confirmed about it. Drewton 01:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Romance

Who do you think Zayne is likely to go for? Jarael or Shel?

• The talk page is a place used to discuss how to make the article better, not to discuss the love lives of the characters. If you want to talk about things of that nature, I suggest you find another forum, such as the Jedi Council Forums over at TheForce.net. Darth Anakin 23:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually, don't you even remember about Shel and Zayne talking about wanting a relationship in issue 24? That proves it. I'd bet $20 on them making love in secret to make their child if I have to. 131.109.225.3 20:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Yea but which one? that is the question Darth Anakin. Darth Rorac

Question

I was wondering, a long while back, Zayne and Jarael were sparring, and Jarael got ahold of his saber. Apparently, they (Jarael and Camper) were testing some sort of invention Camper created that repelled lightsabers. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about, do you know what they were called, assuming they were given a name? 74.167.170.215 15:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

• They were called vambraces, and it was in #13. Drewton 15:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Name Pronunciation

Is the first syllable in Zayne's surname supposed to be pronounced "Care" or "Car", as in the respective words? This has been something I have questioned for some time, and I was wondering if anyone had some answers.205.209.93.44 00:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

• I've always pronounced it "Care", but I suppose it would be pronounced "Car" because of how it's spelled. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 00:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Sith!

thumb| This is, I take it, just an effort by Zayne to look the part? I wonder where he got the robes and contact lenses from... --Kessel 17:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Definitely an act. Unless if John Jackson Miller's suddenly completely changed his character. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 17:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
  • There is no doubt it's an act, since the real Muur Talisman was still worn by Celeste Morne when she was locked in Lord Dreypa's Oubliette in issue 28. And she still wore it when Vader awoke her in Dark Times issue 11 some 3944 years later. Jediphile 16:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Crew

Should we maybe put a box at the bottom that lists all the people Zayne has helping him, like we have for the Jedi Councillor pages and for the ones who are in the Ebon Hawk?Sithlordsforever 17:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Not really needed. The boxes at the bottom are for professional organizations. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 01:27, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

New main qoute

Okay, I really think it's time for a main quote change. The current one - from Alek in Crossroads - is about who Zayne was back in Commencement, not about the person he is now. I propose this one for a change:

I like it so much that if it wasn't FA, I would have changed it long ago. Mauser 14:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• I agree. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 15:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
• As do I NaruHina ^Talk 20px 15:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
• Go for it. --Redemption^25px(Talk) 15:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Party Member?

Does anyone else think it would be cool to have Zayne Carrick as a party member in a KotOR 3? He could use his vambraces as a weapons in unarmed combat, but would have to be slightly older. And if not a party member, then maybe just an appearance?

This ain't a speculation page man so don't waste this article with them. User:Master Shannara October 16, 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Class

Seriously I think it's time to determine Zayne's Jedi character, either Guardian, Sentinel, or Consular. What have we learned so far? DarthWill3 17:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• Evidently not Wookieepedia's policies on original research and fanon. -- I need a name (Complain here) 18:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Well, I'm just trying to figure out Zayne's skill as a Jedi through research. By comparing the articles to him, I happen to know his Force Push must've been as strong as Yoda's. Also, he seems to ferret out injustices, such as the Padawan Massacre. I think he tries being more on the defense in lightsaber combat. Whether he's Consular or Sentinel, I can't make it out. DarthWill3 20:51, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
    • It's still fanon, and his Force push being as powerful as Yoda's is absurd. Drewton 20px ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 21:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
    • According to the KOTOR RPG book, Zayne has the "Skilled Adviser" ability which is only available to Consulars.Skyrocket 12:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
      • And that's supposed to be proof? Come on, anyone can learn to be an adviser, besides he's never been strong in the Force, and Consulars focus on the force! He's never been one for saber combat either, he's more into talking, sneaking, blasters, that kind of stuff, just like a Sentinel! (yeah, yeah, an assumption, I know, but it's still reasonable!)--Fekyu (talk) 23:44, April 10, 2015 (UTC)

Infobox

Shouldn't we change his infobox from Jedi to criminal since he declined to return to the Order and the infobox is meant to represent his current status in GFFA? QuiGonJinn^{The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.}20px 16:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

• Actually, Zayne might have been knighted after all, but I think he'd save that as a surprise. If you must know, the Council may have assignment him to Gryph, making sure the Snivvian comes out in one piece. DarthWill3 00:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

New lightsaber

Do you think his old weapon was lost in the bombardment on the Estate? The new one looks a little curved. We'll need a pic of that. DarthWill3 16:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Here you go: photo bucket dot com )/albums/d7/Saskei/Miscellaneous/Zaynes_New_Saber.jpg Feel free to crop/edit as needed Darth Endis 14:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• I'll need to know how to do that first. DarthWill3 03:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Don't worry. I've done it and placed the picture in the article. QuiGonJinn^{Always remember, your focus determines your reality.}20px 11:23, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Is the curve in that saber enough to add Zayne to the list of people who use curved-hilt light sabers? Skyrocket 212:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure that it could be considered curved since Zayne's lightsaber has only a slight curve or bend at the top of the hilt. If you compare it to other curved lightsabers, such as the lightsaber Karness Muur from the Old Republic wore, it doesn't appear to be truly curved. Cylka^-talk- 00:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Picture from Legacy #31

thumb|right|Vision of Zayne Carrick to Celeste Morne would there be a place for this picture? MuanN 01:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but right now the article has as many images as can be shown without being too crowded. Any additional images may disrupt the flow of the article. Cylka^-talk- 00:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Lightsaber Style

From what we've seen what can we say about Zayne's preferred lightsaber style? Given that it was seemingly Lucien's favored style and the core of lightsaber training I think we can safely say Zayne is pretty familar with it. It also looks to me like he clearly used it during the Duel at the Draay Estate. I'd also say he might have favored elements of Soresu and Niman given his desire to avoid bloodshed and tendency to try and talk his way out of situations rather than fight. Skyrocket 21:58, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Goethar & Zayne

Should we add the picture about Goethar threatening Zayne? What do you think?--LordSquint25cnt 10:40, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A note for the editors

Even though the article's Biography section remains sourced and up to date, there are other area that require work for this FA. I'm talking about P&T, P&A and BTS, which for the most part remain in state they were back when the article was featured 2 years ago. Actually, the current state they're in is sufficiently below our current FA standards and requires major work. We don't want the article to lose its status, do we? Mauser^Comlink 22:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Zayne Carrick FA Removal

I'll tighten the writing a bit and work on BtS. Can anyone else do Personality and Traits and Powers and abilities? PointGiven ^{(But...it was so artistically done...)} 23:11, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

• I'll try to work on the article in the next weeks, but that's a lot to cover. We'll have to check all 41 issues of the comics (#9 and #16 are Zayne-free), the Handbook and the Campaign Guide for the new info. If you'll take the Bio (polish the prose for the last 3-4 story arcs) and the BTS (This place has miriads of new facts that can be used), I'll do the P&T and P&A part. Mauser^Comlink 12:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Zayne in the Vision

Does anyone think the Skywalkers descended from Zayne? He appeared in a Vision with Cade, Vader, and Luke-all Skywalkers.

War

We really need to update this article with the events from War. I'd do it myself, but sadly, I've never read War.--ARC Commander Colt (talk) 20:48, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Other Behind-The-Scenes Notes on Character Creation

While it is clearly stated that he molded the idea of the look of the character on a Young Christian Slater, what if I told you I knew the other person/body actor that the artist/co-creator of Zayne Carrick based on and could upload the original concept art of the character?

His name is Brandon Dale and he was also used as the character model (at least in comic book form) of Darth Thanaton in the Old Republic? I feel that it's a disservice to this person who has the actual proof yet never quite gets his due from everybody from the 501st down to the wikis. But that's just me.

Someone get back to me to discuss it?

Jedi Knight

"Zayne Carrick was a male Human who was a Jedi Padawan and later a Jedi Knight during the Mandalorian Wars."
Can someone point me to the source of this info, if there is one? Nothing in the comics or anything else I read regarding Zayne pointed towards him becoming a Knight. In fact, IFRC in the last issue of Demon, he directly turned down an offer to rejoin the order. -- Commander Awesome (Talk - Contribs) 00:31, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

New Canon

Zayne Carrick is briefly mentioned in the novel "Kenobi", on page 265. Most of his backstory is Legends (although he's described as a "half Jedi" who at some point wasn't officially a part of the Order) but it might be worth noting that he's not just a Legends character. 108.162.159.101 07:00, April 21, 2017 (UTC)

• But the novel Kenobi is Legends as well. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 07:16, April 21, 2017 (UTC)
