[edit] Coruscanti
Um...She's not really Coruscanti. She's a Corellian Human born on Coruscant. QuentinGeorge 12:21, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- She was born on Coruscant; therefore, it's her homeworld. The article makes note of her parentage anyways, so everything's good. Kuralyov 14:29, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Luke wasn't born on Tatooine, neither was Anakin, Shmi or Owen Lars. Leia wasn't born on Alderaan. Yet these are listed as their "homeworlds". And for pity's sake, she doesn't need to be in a category named "Coruscanti". QuentinGeorge 20:57, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Luke came to Tatooine when he was, what, one day old? And lived there for 19 years. Same with Leia for Alderaan. Adi's parents came from Corellia, yes, but she was born on Coruscant, she spent her childhood being raised in the Jedi Temple, she lived there for her whole life - she's Coruscanti.
- ALL Jedi lived in the temple pretty much their entire lives. You'd better change Mace Windu's homeworld then, and Obi-Wan's, and Dooku, and Eeth Koth and Oppo Rancisis and Qui-Gon, and pretty much every other member of the order. QuentinGeorge 05:45, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- But none of them were also born on Coruscant, like Adi was.Kuralyov 05:47, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Don't be too sure about that. The "homeworld" is meant to be listing what planet the character considers their homeworld not the narrow sense of where they were born. QuentinGeorge 05:56, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Here's another example: I was born in Connecticut. I have lived in Connecticut my whole life. My parents are from Pennsylvania. They moved to Connecticut before I was born. Would you consider me a Pennsylvanian?Kuralyov 22:12, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Here's a better (and more appropriate) example. Your parents are American diplomats, and you are born while they are posted in Kuwait. Are you a Kuwaiti? QuentinGeorge 05:49, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I fail to see how it's more appropriate. The answer would be yes, unless you were born in the American embassy, a practice we have no idea is applicable here. Additionally, Corellia and Coruscant are part of the same state; the US and Kuwait aren't. We don't know if Adi even has ever been to Corellia. Kuralyov 13:45, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- My point is that as long as the Offical site does not change her Homeworld from Coruscant to Corellia, we must consider her homeworld Coruscant. www.starwars.com is the most canon of all the sites, so we must believe what they write. - TopAce
- Starwars.com is a collection of canon information, but not canon itself. If the movies contradict what is listed on the official site (as they did in the case of the length of the Executor) then we must go by the information provided in the movies, which are G-level canon.--Eion 18:49, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

[edit] races and species
does any one have The New Essential Guide to Characters because i was looking through it a while ago, and i swear that Adi Gallia and Stass Allie were listed as near humans (i think there species name started with a "c") and if there are humans what is that thing on their head?--Davin Rayce 20:31, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- You are thinking of Depa Billaba. QuentinGeorge 20:45, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Or, you're misremembering "Corellians with silly hats" as non-human. 8) Gallia and Alliee wore "Tholoth headdresses" with "organic tentacles", according to the Databank. — Silly Dan 21:13, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- nevermind then--Davin Rayce 01:59, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

- Actually, it does say in the NEGTC that Adi Galla is near-human. It also said Barriss Offee was a human and mentioned nothing about her being Luminara's apprentice, so I guess you can't believe everything you read. :) StarNeptune 04:43, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mistake
In the star wars episode 3 trivia book it states: wich Jedi Dies on Salcumi or something like that, and the awnser is Adi Gallia!--wattamb2000
- The book is incorrect - as it is Stass Allie which dies on Saleucami. QuentinGeorge 07:06, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Saber Colors
I notice in TPM, 3 Jedi had Dark Red Sabers, but in AOTC, the color are limited to Purple, Blue and Green. When Maul revealed the Sith were alive, did that make the Jedi limited the colors to avoid confusion between Jedi and Sith? —Unsigned comment by Double D (talk • contribs).
- I don't recall any jedi having red sabers in Episode I. -LtNOWIS 04:27, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Acording to Hasbro, the three Jedi with Dark Red Lightsabers (TPM) were Adi Gallia, Depa Billaba and Even Piell. Double D 20:03, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if hasbro can be seen as a authenic source... But the Adi Gallia page on the offical Jedi Power Battles website (see here), in the "Characters" section, states that her lightsaber color is Crimson (Red), and has a picture of her with a red lightsaber... I'm not sure if Jedi Power Battles can be seen as canon or not... But it is interesting that it says Adi Gallia had a red lightsaber... 141.154.179.65 04:24, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I thought all games and books were part of canon, therefore, that would mean that Adi's lightsaber was canonically red. Also, the Mace Windu article says: "In Jedi Power Battles, Mace's saber is blue, and the Mace Windu Episode I Action Figure has a blue saber. Therefore, in Episode I Mace had a blue lightsaber". That same thing could be said about Adi Gallia.. She had a red lightsaber in Jedi Power Battles, and her Episode I action figure had a red lightsaber, therefore she had a red lightsaber. 141.154.159.11 20:40, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- To make things even more confusing, on the cover of Jedi Apprentice: The Dangerous Rescue (which takes place in 42 BBY) Adi has an orange lightsaber. Again in Cloak of Deception (33 BBY), she is mentioned to have a blue one. If they continue to be this inconsistent with Adi's lighsabers, she'll soon have them in all the colors of the rainbow :) --Tinwe 18:38, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Is it possible Adi had more than one saber at a time, maybe she used different sabers at different times. Double D 20:09, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe she only had one saber, but changed the crystals in it to change the color. I remember in the KOTOR games, all you had to do to change your lightsaber color is change the lightsaber crystals you have in it. I just added mention of Adi's lightsaber colors in her Behind the Scenes section.141.154.178.39 22:49, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- She also has a red blade in Emissaries to Malastare, set after Episode I, and in other comics, I believe. We never actually see her lightsabre blade in the movies, though (she appears only in Council scenes in TPM and AotC, and is replaced by Stass Allie for the arena fight and RotS) - Kwenn
- Just so I don't get confused, From some sources, It said her saber was "Dark Red". When you guys say "red", do you mean normal red or dark red? Double D 21:40, 11 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Well anyway, my first question was why Adi changed from Dark Red to Blue, after Darth Maul revealed the Sith, did the Jedi become prejudice, ("do they judge people by the color of their lightsaber")? Double D 19:17, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- She actually also has a blue lightsaber in Cloak of Deception. My assumption would be that Adi Gallia had two lightsabers, and by the time it gets to AotC, she had lost the red one. KastMorben 10:46, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- In Jedi Starfighter, during one of the video clips, it shows her with a blue lightsaber fighting in the backhand style. —Unsigned comment by 66.118.101.36 (talk • contribs).
- C'mon, guys, does it really matter? If there's one thing the prequels showed us, it was how disposable lightsabers really are. In every Episode of the prequel trilogy, a Jedi character either loses their 'saber (sometimes multiple times), has it confiscated, or has it destroyed. Their solution? Build/acquire a new one. Heck, even Luke loses his weapon in The Empire Strikes Back. Cutch 18:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fighting style
Is there anymore information about her backhand fighting style beyond that it is what she used? —Unsigned comment by 68.170.167.56 (talk • contribs).
- Not other than the reason it was used was to counter-act weight difficulties. 83.71.47.135 23:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Also it seemed to reflect her extremely fast and agile nature, at least in Power Battles. Almost certainly a variant of Form IV. CaptainMorgan 02:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it's not a variant of Form IV. I don't really think her style (Shien) isn't a variant of anything. It's a seperate and rare style. 96.240.194.128 04:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually it would seem that her style is indeed a variant of Form V, as her style doesn't correspond with the classical definition (take a look at Anakin's Opening Stance). Perhaps she uses elements of both Form IV and Form V, since she is seen using the backhand grip but strikes very fast and uses aerial assaults often. CaptainMorgan 23:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

- Adi Gallia's canonical saber form is not given AFAIK. Please do not use Wookieepedia as a place for fan speculation; it is not condoned. Atarumaster88
(Talk page) 23:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well this article and the Shien artcle both say that Shien was her style, so I'm guessing there must be some canon source that says Shien was her style.72.79.214.141 00:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. I read in a star wars anuual book that she used a reverse grip of shien. User:The prof
[edit] Quote
Any suggestions for the article's opening quote? I added the current one, but don't really like it. Although it shows Gallia's attitude, it doesn't really deal with her. Cutch 20:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, I just found this one: "Better a few faithful supporters than a wealth of false friends." Whaddaya think? —Unsigned comment by Cutch (talk • contribs).
- Good, let's keep that - TopAce 10:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- how about a quote from Jedi Starfighter: "Shooting star to old folks home." what do you think? User:Quinlanfan 23:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe as part of one of the subheadings, sure. Cutch 05:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Leia and Luke
I also know that Leia Organa Solo In training with Luke Skywalker has two lightsabers one of them blue but in the book The New Rebelion, Luke gives her another lightsaber that had a red blade. Leia surprised luke during there spar when she disarmed him. Luke was then proud of her fighting techniquesFile:250px-TheNewRebellion.jpg —Unsigned comment by Jedi master Aaron Telfore (talk • contribs).
[edit] Hair/baldness
Since Adi's actress was bald is Adi technically bald then? Because in the article it doesn't say she has a hair color or that she is bald. JediNTT307 20:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC) Okay?? JediNTT307 20:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- Since her helmet was never removed and her hair was never specifically mentioned (as far as I know), we can't say for sure. Saying Adi was bald because her actor was bald would be wrong (many actors are known to wear wigs and costumes; nobody really looks like this) and pure speculation. // ~mikah~ 01:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I know it would be wrong to speculate that, but I was just thinking. thanks. JediNTT307 01:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
