SWTOR Free To Play
Is there a date yet for the free to play program for SWTOR? I thought I seen something on the website but was not sure if it had a date. Matt Seay (talk) 03:24, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Not that I know of. Judging from the ads I see on YouTube I'd guess it's already free to play. Don't know for sure since even though I own the game my laptop can't play it. Best I can say is try to play it and see if it's free or have to pay. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 03:36, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
On the site it says coming this fall, well its fall. But I will check it out later. Matt Seay (talk) 03:37, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Allright. Just a warning, pretty sure you have to own the game to play for free, don't think they do online play without the game discs. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 03:48, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
I do have the game. The reason I was asking was I was unsure when they were starting the free to play program. Matt Seay (talk) 03:49, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Cade might know whether or not if it's already started. Don't know how long the free part will be for, but don't image it will be for long. DarthRevan1173

RE Unidentified Female Rebel
The Unidentified Female Rebel in the picture is the woman in green. She needs a picture, so if you could can you crop the picture to just her and upload it to her page? --Zannabanna (talk) 20:55, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

(Long live Lord Revan) 21:04, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
In A War on Two Fronts, she helped Anakin, Steela, and the others get in and lied to the droids. I just watched the episode (The Soft War) and at the execution when Steela is about to start shooting (when she's like wait for it...wait for it), she looks side to side and on one side The Female Rebel is on one side and when Steela nods at them, the rebel along with the other rebels nod back at her (which indicates the rebel already knew Steela was gonna attack. Then the rebel was helping push back the droids. --Zannabanna (talk) 23:52, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
I would assume the rebel is a citizen. I've seen a few character models that look like her, but I'm positive when ever all the rebels nodded to Steela that was her. --Zannabanna (talk) 23:58, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe, just maybe we will have our own SW wikia, but this one for everything, including Movies, Films, Cartoons, Extended universe, and Fanon... Whether it be Canon or not. (--Long Live the Sith! (talk) 04:09, October 21, 2012 (UTC))
- Yes and no. This one doesn't tolerate Fanon at all. Thats what I like about this wiki. While not everything may not be up to date, it sticks to canon\what really happened in the movies, games, books, tv shows, and reference books. If its said in an article then you can be sure it happened. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 04:13, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
But, we could label the ones that aren't canon... Because some fanon follow the main story line. Either way, To be a true unlimited star wars wiki you need everything!
(Long Live the Sith! (talk) 04:17, October 21, 2012 (UTC))
- Well that is true. Still I more or less focus on the main canon. Usually from the novels. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 04:22, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
Either way, we could still do it! It could become the 2nd or 3rd most visited SW website, after the official one, and then this on I assume. (Long Live the Sith! (talk) 04:24, October 21, 2012 (UTC))

DOTJ
Hey-lo!
I noticed you created Dawn of the Jedi (novel series). I checked out the external link, and I'm wondering where you're getting the info on this being a novel series --- all I can find is "I am a huge Star Wars fan and when it was revealed you were going to write a book in the series, I was surprised (in a good way)." Did you take this to mean that DOTJ will be a book series? I'm reading it as the interviewer just referring to the Star Wars franchise as a "series." Or is there something I'm missing? Menkooroo (talk) 06:35, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I took "It came about because an editor I’d worked with on an original Hellboy novel moved to LucasBooks, and they were looking for someone to write the "first" Dawn of the Jedi novel. Very flattered that they chose me." to mean there's a series. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 06:39, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, nice catch. I completely missed that. The plot thickens! Menkooroo (talk) 06:40, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
- No clue if it's just a trilogy or duology yet. So created the series page, and if it's revealed to be just a duology or trilogy will change to reflect that. Also don't know if he's the only author for the series either. DarthRevan1173

- According to Starwars.com and Dale Pollock the films will be about Luke Skywalker and they will not be based on any expanded universe works instead being an orginal adventure for Luke and Leia to go on. No word on if Han is in the scripts but seeing how Harrison Ford hates playing Han Solo it is very unlikely that he will return. Matt Seay (talk) 21:20, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

- Thought Ford loved playing Solo. Will be interesting more than likely Han will be in it. Can't see them doing the new trilogy without Han. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:09, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
During the writing for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi Ford Kept asking Lucas to kill Han off. He felt the character was bland and had nothing going for him and he thought if he died that could have made some interesting emotional things for the Heroes to deal with. But as we all know he did not die. But The way I see it, if they are going with Lucas's treatments then it will be set 20-30 years after and it would be okay to have Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford back. Matt Seay (talk) 23:14, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Yep hope that they do. Chewbacca may be in it, since they are doing in original story. Don't know how it's going to fit into canon. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:19, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
As fans we can only hope for the best, I mean it can't get any worse than Episode I, but I do like that movie. They have the best intentions with it. If they treat LucasFilm like they treat Marvel then it should be okay. Matt Seay (talk) 23:24, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Hopefully. With VII, VIII, and IX being original it will be interesting. As long as the other movies are adaptation of the EU should be just fine. Hoping they will do the Darth Bane trilogy. Preferably with Bane played by Vin Diesel :D DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:33, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
I am not sure about adaptations of EU. The only one I know of is the Slaves of the Republic Story Arc on The Clone Wars, it was in the comics first. As much as I would love to see the Thrawn Trilogy in movie form that would mean definite recasting and no one wants that. Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy have said that and I quote, "We have so many comics and books with tons of potential." but I want original movies about these characters. Disney have said that they plan to, "Play around in the universe" which means spanning out to the minor characters and other aspects of the star wars cannon. Like I said they have all good intentions. Vin Diesel might make a good Bane lol. I want a Old Republic Movie myself. Matt Seay (talk) 23:38, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Take the books of the Old Republic that would be no issue for them to do. Just like the Force Unleashed novels, Republic Commando novels, and if they did, Legacy of the Force, Crosscurrent, Riptide, and Fate of the Jedi, with X-Wing:Mercy Kill. The actors are the right age they shouldn't have a problem with those. Would be a big deal with the others unless they do the other's in animation. Then they wouldn't have a big problem. Same thing if they adapt some of the games. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:45, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
True, I am very excited for this but I do have my concerns. I still want a George Lucas feel to it but I know the whole reason for him selling it was to hand it off to a new generation to make their own Star Wars movies and whatever. I still want that little bit of Lucas in there ya know what I mean? Matt Seay (talk) 23:49, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Yea I know what ya mean. With Lucas staying on as creative consultant and haven already written the story treatments. Should still have somewhat of a Lucas feel to it. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:53, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
I really think they should get Dave Filoni on the new films. He does a really great job with the clone wars and he would be great to do writing or anything for new star wars projects. As far as EU stuff I would like to see in movies. Number one would have to be Kyle Katarn. Since they are starting with, everyone assumes, the original characters, and going to other things, I would love to see a movie or TV series about Katarn. One thing that would be cool is if they got Pixar to do a animated show or movie. See, there are tons of great Ideas but it all comes down to getting the right people to do them.

Millennium Falcon
First of all, I was in the middle of completing Millennium Falcon's appearances section and the history will show this. I was working on finishing the book before continuing further. But I don't really care that you want to do it, go ahead. Secondly, a reference book can affect canonical elements, but it cannot change the physical properties of a text. It has no more power to make a scene a flashback that was not than it has to make a simile into a metaphor. Please remove the Flash tag from all appearance notes from the scenes at the beginning of the book. NaruHina Talk
02:54, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Before I do that, can you please elaborate further on how a canon reference book, has no power over what year is flashback in the book it said it is. I would like to know more before I remove the Flash tag. Just making sure I understand what your getting at. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 03:23, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Others seem to contradict that. If I can get an answer on what years are confirmed as flashbacks and which one's aren't I shall remove the tags. I don't see a point in removing them without confirmation that the year was in fact not a flashback. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 04:46, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Because whether or not a scene in the book is a flashback has absolutely NOTHING to do with the canonical elements the scene establishes. The Companion can say "That bounty hunter's name is T'doshok." It can say "That information in the book conflicts with this other book and this one takes precedence." It cannot say that "this scene in the book was a flashback" and make that scene a flashback if it was not. That's not canonical information. It's contradicting the book's physical text when talking about the book's physical text, and it's wrong. Hidalgo was incorrect and he has no control over Luceno's book. NaruHina Talk
07:55, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- I'll remove it in a few. I sent a tweet to Leland Chee and Hidalgo. After I see what they have to say, if they don't confirm it I'll remove the tags. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 19:25, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- You realize it saying that they were flashbacks is like a book saying Puck fought the Montagues in Macbeth? It's not talking about the history of the Star Wars universe, canonical information any official source can impact. It's talking about the structure of a real book you can read and see they aren't flashbacks. Flashbacks are designated as such in the text; e.g., the part where Cix Trouvee's exploits in 5 BBY are detailed as a story being told to the Solo family. NaruHina Talk
20:38, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes I realize this. However if either Hidalgo or Chee confirm that they are flashbacks. That will override it not being a flashback. DarthRevan1173

(Long live Lord Revan) 01:05, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
Oh but if you see the droid, he resembles a R4 unit and doesn't have a dome of a R9 unit—so is it still a R9 unit? Darth Pythonis (talk) 01:21, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
- If they crew of the show call it one it is. All comes down to what they call it in the show. If one of them identifies is as an R-9 it is. DarthRevan1173

Dark Apprentice
You reverted an edit I made to the Dark Apprentice article capitalizing an "r", saying it was unnecessary. I capitalized it in the first place because I felt that leaving it lower case is inconsistent with the other characters' pages, all of which have their eye colours capitalized, and therefore makes the page seem unprofessional as a result. 173.180.88.66 04:05, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
- You didn't just capitalize it. You did r/Red which was unnecessary. If it was Red instead of r/Red I wouldn't have reverted an edit. I haven't seen any pages doing the r/Red or g/Green which is why I felt it was unnecessary. DarthRevan1173

Congratulations!
Hey, Revan,
I'm not sure if you've seen, but after a close race, you're one of December's two Wookieepedians of the month! Congratulations on the honour, and thanks for all of your hard work. Take pride in your name appearing on the Main Page for the next thirty-one days. :D
Speaking of the Main Page --- if you look about halfway down the right side, you'll see Wookieepedia NewsNet, where we like to interview the WOTM winners every month. Would you be interested in doing an interview? Let me know! I could ask the questions here on your talk page, or by e-mail if you prefer. Congrats again! Menkooroo (talk) 02:08, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Sure we can do it right here. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 02:16, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I would also like to say congratulations as well. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:39, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Hanzo. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 19:47, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Keep up the good work, dude.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 05:04, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Kasra, I will. DarthRevan1173

- Thanks Hanzo. DarthRevan1173
- I would also like to say congratulations as well. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:39, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I forgot to congratulate you on being a Wookieepedia user of the month. Hope i get there some day lol. But seriously keep up the good work. Matt Seay (talk) 05:13, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Matt, I will. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 08:53, December 5, 2012 (UTC) - Sorry for the delay! Here are eight questions for ya. Feel free to answer them in as many or as few words as you'd like. Especially the last one; I normally ask more questions but I've truncated the list due to there being two interviewees this time around, so feel free to go nuts on it if you want. And let me know if you'd like any images used in the article!
1. Congrats on being elected the Wookieepedian of the Month. How do you feel? Was this something you ever expected to happen?
- I feel great. I was always kind of hoping to be Wookieepian of the Month one month just never thought it would have been so soon.
2. Tell us about the kinds of edits you primarily make. As what kind of Wookieepedian would you describe yourself?
- Mainly I fix redirects, remove fanon and unverified info, and occasionally add new info.
3. Ever tossed around the idea of nominating articles for Good and Featured status?
- I have a few times and actual just nominated one two days ago.
4. What attracts you to editing here? Do you recommend it to all Star Wars fans?
- The thing that attracts me to editing here the most is how factual the articles are here. I edit on a few other wikia's when I have time, but always find my way back here. I would recommend it to all Star Wars fans as long as they source the info and don't add fanon.
5. If you could change anything about the site, what would it be?
- Honestly I can't think of anything I'd change. I feel the site is good the way it is.
6. Give us the good ol' "How I became a Star Wars fan" story.
- When I was eight during the summer my neighbor let me borrow A New Hope on VHS and have been a fan ever since.
7. What are some of your favourite Expanded Universe works and characters? How about films?
- For works I have to say all of Drew Karpyshyn's novels, novels set in the Old Republic, Fate of the Jedi, Legacy of the Force, and Paul S. Kemp's novels. As for Characters I of course have to say Revan, Jace Malcom, Satele Shan and after reading Annihilation her son Theron and Gnost-Dural. My favorite film is Revenge of the Sith, as for characters from the film would be Chewie, Han, Leia, Luke, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Anakin.
8. Anything else you'd like to say to the community? Menkooroo (talk) 11:18, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
- I guess just that I'm honored to be part of the community and to keep up the good work. Everyday I come here I always learn something new about the characters I like.
It's no prob on the delay. As for pictures I'd like Revan_Headshot.png and Revan and T3-M4 TERC.jpg to be included. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 13:50, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up. I'll write out the NewsNet post tonight, and the retraction will be banished forever. Menkooroo (talk) 07:28, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- No prob, was removed per the users request. Just making sure it won't be published. Out of curiousity do you allow users to see how the interview looks before you publish it? DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 07:30, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think there's a way to do that. Is there anything in particular about which you're concerned? It'll look the same as the other interviews, and if there's anything you want changed or removed, I can always edit it after the fact. Menkooroo (talk) 08:32, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- The user who emailed me doesn't want to be mentioned in the email. Just making sure that they won't be mentioned. DarthRevan1173

- Interview has been published and should appear on the Wook's Main Page soon. Only had room for one of the images. Take a look! Menkooroo (talk) 03:41, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
The Force
For Appearances of force powers in a movie, TV show, etc. Should Force Choke be under Dark side of the force or just Telekinesis? Just wondering I was trying to sort out the appearances for the films. Matt Seay (talk) 22:49, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- It depends on your preference. I however list it under Telekinesis as [[Telekinesis/Legends#Force choke|Force choke]]. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:02, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, because for The Empire Strikes Back I listed it as follows The Force, Dark Side of the Force, Force Choke. I put Telekinesis with the other force powers. Matt Seay (talk) 23:11, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- If that's how you want to list it than it should be fine. There really isn't a specific way on how its done just mostly listed by user preference. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:21, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I just always think of force choke as a dark side power so that is how I listed it. Matt Seay (talk) 23:25, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Well it is and it isn't. It is primarily a dark side power, but there have been cases where a light side user has used it before. Take Anakin before he fell, and Gnost-Dural's cases for example. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:30, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Yes this is true, Kyle Katarn was known to use it too. But it is classified as a dark side power. So i guess it all comes down to how you see it. Matt Seay (talk) 23:35, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- The main reason it's classified as a dark side power is that it is one. Just not all the users are dark side users. That's why it differs on how it will be listed. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:41, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
So if a Sith/Dark side user uses it, it is classified under Dark Side of the Force but if a light side user/jedi uses it it is classified under Telekinesis. That makes sense to me. Matt Seay (talk) 23:51, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Something like that. It all depends on how you feel it should be listed. I generally just list the powers used in the appearances section regardless of who used it and which side it's affiliated with. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 23:57, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, force powers are a hard thing to list at times. Correct me if I am wrong, which I rarely am when it comes to the films, lol, but didn't Luke use force choke of the guards at Jabba's Palace? Matt Seay (talk) 00:00, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Yea he force choked the two Gamorrean guards who barred him entrance to Jabba's throne room inside the Palace. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 00:06, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thought so, I think it needs to be added under appearances for Return of the Jedi. Force Choke is not even listed. And that big spider thing, could that be called Beast Trick, like Meetra Surik and Obi-Wan used? Matt Seay (talk) 00:09, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
- The novel even confirms that it was force choke. I don't believe he used beast trick on it. It could be argued as beast trick for the Lego Star Wars games, but he didn't use it on the beast in the novel, and pretty sure he didn't use it in the movie. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 00:14, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
I think he just used a form of mind trick or something to scare it off. But anyway, I don't think beast trick came around til KOTOR II anyway. I could be wrong though. Matt Seay (talk) 00:18, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
- More than likely, but he only used it in the movie. The novel doesn't even have him using it just the mind trick he used on Bib Fortuna. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 00:24, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
Oh well, I will add the force choke to the appearances now. Matt Seay (talk) 00:26, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
The Clone Wars Season 5
Here is a website that has an episode listing for season five of the Clone wars. This may help the episode articles.http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/star-wars-the-clone-wars/episode-guide/EP01087361?aid=zap2it Matt Seay (talk) 08:28, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Seems accurate for now. I would check with CC757 and make sure he thinks it's fine to use before using it. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 08:32, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
I posted on his talk page about it. I am sure it will be though. Matt Seay (talk) 08:36, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- The Insider listing was supposed to be accurate until they airing changed. It may be but won't know till the episode airs. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 08:40, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
I know that some episodes can change air dates. Like the first four episodes of second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles were meant to be part of the first season. It is all how the studio wants sometimes and sometimes it has to do with meeting deadlines. Matt Seay (talk) 08:43, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Deadlines and bugets mostly. Also sometimes the creators get to chose what air whens. Like wise Yoda said "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future." I feel the same applies here. We know what episodes are supposed to air, we know when they should air, yet still a different episode could air at the last second. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 08:52, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah we will have to wait and see. Matt Seay (talk) 08:55, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
Ven Zallow
I don't understand why they would not just call him a Human. So this means that there is a species in the Star Wars galaxy that looks just like Humans but is not one. Would it be okay to make an article for Ven Zallow' Species then? Matt Seay (talk) 01:34, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- There have been many species that resembles Humans in the galaxy and chances are he may be one of them, but as of yet his species hasn't been identified. You can create the article as a placeholder until his species is identified if it ever is. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 01:37, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
Okay then. I guess it could be like the Original Star Trek series, there were so many aliens that looked just like humans yet they were not. I will go ahead with the article. Matt Seay (talk) 01:39, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
IMDB as a source
Why do you think that IMDb is not a valid source enough? Please explain it to me. Thanks, --XXLVenom998 (talk) 12:26, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Well mainly because anyone can edit it and add false info, and we'd never know the difference. Also it's not an actually official source in terms of being accepted by Lucasfilm. We at Wookieepedia prefer an official source and IMDB doesn't qualify. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 00:06, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
If you can find where IMDB gets their info from and see if it is an official source, it is like using wikipedia, wikipedia itself is not a valid source for info. You need to check sources and references for the info. Matt Seay (talk) 00:11, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
- IMDB doesn't tell you where they get their info. It has never been an official source and probably never will be. From what I've seen on here over half the users don't use it, nor want it used as a source. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan)
Thanks!
Hey! Thanks for updating all the Revelation links. If you want to save yourself some time and some headaches, though, you can always put in a bot request to change all the links. Menkooroo (talk) 15:24, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
- No prob. I don't mind doing it, however may put in a bot request later though. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 15:26, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
- How would I do that, since I'm not sure everything that links to it is for the Revelation (novel) only and not for the force power. DarthRevan1173

Re: Rans
Yeah, I just found a comment by Senator Ezran to the Trooper on Voss (in 3,641 BBY): "Fantastic! I haven't dined with a soldier since the Senate Gala, some years back, when Supreme Commander Rans was seated at our table....", indicating that his tenure as Supreme Commander during the GGW didn't end until about 3,644-3 BBY. Basically, we need to toss Fatal Alliance in a hole and forget about it, but until we can, Stantorrs is a black spot on the otherwise continuous tenure of Rans.

WP:KOTOR
As of 0:00 UTC (8:00 PM EST), I have assumed responsibilities for leading this project, due to my predecessor Cylka's inactivity. Wherever she is, I wish her well in her endeavors, and should she come back, I will gladly turn over leadership back to her. Over the next few weeks, I look forward to reviewing more articles and also wish to get more KotOR-related projects off the ground, and look forward to moving forward to bettering this project and ultimately Wookieepedia. Thank you for your continued service to Wookieepedia.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 01:08, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
Paran Am-Ris
It said during the start of the Cold War and the end of the Treaty of Coruscant, Chancellor Am Ris was killed in an attack and Dorian Janarus replaced him at the same year.--99.56.52.40 22:54, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
- And what source said that? As far as I know no source has verified that, hence it's unverified info. DarthRevan1173
(Long live Lord Revan) 22:56, December 20, 2012 (UTC) - Well, it was said in the Dorian Janarus page!--99.56.52.40 23:24, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Also with no source backing it up. Shall be removing it soon, since no source has verified Am-Ris's death. DarthRevan1173
