Are there any known homosexual or bisexual sentient beings in the Star Wars Universe?

- I can't imagine how this could be useful knowledge in the least, and I don't really want to, but I'll ask anyways....why do you need this? Jaygo Katarr 18:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Curiosity. korydvandyke 14:57, 18 November 2008 [UTC]
not our place to ask this person asked a question. and we are going to give them the answer Ralokthebetter 23:36, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Knowing that gives more realism to the universe. Klow 19:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I am pretty sure that asking that question violates some regulation. GAdmiralPawn 21:01, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Violates what? Asking an open and logical question in regards to Star Wars? korydvandyke 18:02, 09 December 2008 (UTC)
- It theoretically might violate Rule 5 of the Knowledge Bank, but as it seems more out of legitimate curiosity than prurient interest, we haven't been given cause to delete it. jSarek 19:27, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- Those clones were like spartans you know. Ghost Maker 10:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- No they weren't. Karen Traviss has almost explicitly stated that she didn't base the Mandalorians and the Clone Troopers on Spartans. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 13:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- So which comes first; George Lucas's movies or Karen Traviss's novelisation of George Lucas's movies? Maybe a great read, but I just saw the movies. I saw men living, eating, training and practically sleeping together. Seemed pretty Spartan like to me.Ghost Maker 06:34, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- In other words, you saw . . . every single military force since the dawn of civilization. jSarek 06:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Which ever way you want to swing it. Maybe I should have included that they were subject to military drill from infancy, just like the Spartans... for those who don't quite get it. I've heard a U.S. Marine spokesman compare his own force to the Spartans, saying they were modeled on them as the greatest warriors in history. The term "Spartan" isn't always synonymous with homosexuality, but if Karen Traviss is implying that nothing like that went on in George Lucas's vision, then I'll take her word for it.Ghost Maker 07:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Karen Traviss was referring to how she based the Mandalorians (and the Clone Troopers trained by them) mostly on the Celts and not the Spartans. It was on the FAQ of her website I believe. But the idea of military training starting from childhood and being pervasive throughout the culture is not uniquely Spartan at all. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 00:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, this was a simple question. Now it's just getting stupid. User:korydvandyke 19:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- If Karen Traviss had to make a 'specific' assertion about her portrayal of the Clones having their training based more on Celtic values, than that of the Spartans,'outside her publication'in a FAQs forum, then clarifacation is warranted and not entirely obvious in the novel itself. So I am justified in saying, again, that the Clones were 'like' Spartans... Then maybe someone could have added, "but they were trained by Mandalorians, who are intended to be more like Celts in Karen Traviss's book, because they fought in clans"... Instead of enlightening discussion, it just gets turned into some uneccessary debate. But thanks anyway. I think.Ghost Maker 04:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
