Year of birthEdit

Is Corran Horn actually born in 18 BBY? When his grandfather Nejaa Halcyon died a year ago in 19 BBY I heard that his father Valin was only 10 years old. Which means that it is impossible for Corran to be born in the following year!

• Yes, the Horn family history is painfully convoluted, a result of early the early EU thinking the Clone Wars happened earlier than it turns out they did. As of right now, we're not sure exactly what part of it needs correcting. jSarek 11:33, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)
• It's best to ignore any Clone Wars dating in a book dating before 1999. (Though, I find it ironic that the Marvel comics don't seem to have the same problem. (Indeed, in many cases they have the opposite problem - having Clone Wars events occur far too recently). QuentinGeorge 11:36, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)

PowersEdit

• so do we know why/how horn's family lack telekinetic power?
  • It's just a quirk in their Force abilities. It's not explained any more than Jaina Solo's afinity for machines, Jacen's for animals, or Cilghal's for healing, for example. It's not explained why some Jedi are better at certain skills and worse at others; they just are. 71.236.33.191 03:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I, JediEdit

The events of I, Jedi need to be described in much more detail, I think. They're a major part of Corran's history, but they're barely touched upon at all here. 71.236.33.191 03:54, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

• Maybe, but a couple preceding sections are shorter and have similar amount of material in novels. -Finlayson 23:31, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Corsec pitureEdit

Does anybody have a better version the cg pic of him. An actual screenshot would be better than just a pic of the model. The pic is kind of grainy, and a background would make a huge difference.Darth Benobi 12:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Top picture Edit

Is that actually Corran at the top of the page? It looks to young for him. I'm pretty sure that's actually Ganner.

• Yes, that's a picture of Corran from the NEGtC. Note Corran's green robes.
• Sorry, it was I who changed the picture to what it is Now It just looks better to me, is that okay? I didn't know how to edit pictures but.. I figured it out? beginners luck I suppose. ^_^ -Darth Mikaillov
  • There was some doubt if that was really Corran Horn before. -Finlayson 15:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I know! It doesn't even look like him.. im like what the heck??? has to be changed right now. -Darth Mikaillov

The info box image in the infobox should have the same width as the info box. I beleive 300px is the correct width for that. -Finlayson 19:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• I think 250px would be preferable, that is the default infobox width. Plus, it looks good even with lower screen resolutions. And to the first person who wrote: Yes, I believe that is indeed meant to be Corran, but what happened to his beard is anyone's guess. --Tinwe 16:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

File:Iii.JPG

• I really wonder why this pic here isn't used... - or, why we don't stick to the one out of the NEGtC... it's better than the current one. ~ Tracyn 16:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • That one was used before. I would add it but there's already a Kieran Halcyon image in there. Maybe put it somewhere else.. -Finlayson 21:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

The top image seems to come from this cover: The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide (Japanese Ver.). -Finlayson 03:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Isn't the current image Kyp Durron? —Unsigned comment by 24.158.73.178 (talk • contribs).

• • It was used by me, its not ganner, its either corran or kyp. Jedi Dude 22:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I believe that's a silver lightsaber. If so, that's Horn. -Finlayson 02:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Then again Horn is described as having a beard early in Dark Tide I. -Finlayson 15:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
      • That's why I think we should put the pic of him with beard on there again. The current one is causing only confusion. I'd say either one of the NEGTC images, or the one from the Japanese Final Prophecy cover ~ Tracyn 15:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
        • Sounds good to me. -Finlayson 17:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
          • Alright, I replaced the image with the one from TFP. If this image is not wanted, feel free to revert. ~ Tracyn 19:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

NJO Section is Lacking Edit

• A good portion of the war is glazed over. Corran returns for a pretty big role in the the EoV duology, and was mentioned throughout many of the books after, yet the article skips from Dark Tide all the way to TFP. Also it fails to mention his return to Rogue squadron during the war (I think this was mentioned somewhere in DW) ThrawnRocks 23:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • True. More details from Dark Tide would help. He does more than just fight Shedao Shai. -Fnlayson 21:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I added a few sentences on what Corran did in the Dark Tide books. Please review. -Fnlayson 01:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

LotF Edit

He's in Bloodlines, so should the part at the bottom about him being excluded be taken out?--Etapelba 20:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

missing stories Edit

how come there isn't anything in here about his capture of zeka thyne or his trip to garqi the first time? i think those are important because he made a enemy with thyne cause of his arrest and the trip to garqi is the reason he joined rogue sqadron? should we add these or will it make the story too long? Groode hdoge 19:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Rank... Edit

• Someone added to the article that by the time of 19 ABY, he held the rank of Commander. Any sources on that, because I think he was already Major, if not Colonel. When he entered service again in Dark Tide, he was Colonel, and I think it's rather weird when he got promoted twice while out of service (from Commander->Major->Colonel). ~ Tracyn ^(Talk) 10:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, from what I inferred, Commander is the rank just junior to General (as Wedge is a Commander for the early X-Wing novels and refuses a promotion to General). Unless Wedge is being promoted an excessive amount at once, that puts Commander at the top of the "junior" office ranks. IMO, it would go: Captain->Major->Colonel->Commander . I get most of these relations from Star Wars: X-Wing: Isard's Revenge when all of the characters are promoted while still retaining their unit structure. Wedge becomes a General, his second-in-command becomes a Commander (Tycho), his two senior leaders (Hobbie and Wes) become Colonels and Corran (the last flight leader) becomes a Major. I need to double-check this against my book when I get home, but I believe that's the way it goes. -M.Madison (not logged in) 12.163.186.226 14:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm reading The Bacta War right now and Corran is a Leiutenant, so unless he gets promoted from Lt. to Capt. between this book and Isard's Revenge, then he must get bumped up to Captain in Isard's Revenge, not to Major. - JMAS 14:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
      • Right. In Isard's Revenge, Wedge is promoted to General, Tycho to Colonel, Hobbie and Wes both to Major, Corran and Gavin to Captain and the rest of the Rogues to "something other than Flight Officers" (Lt probably). -Fnlayson 17:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
      • I'm pretty sure it goes Major->Commander->Colonel. Either way, though, it would be nice to know when he was promoted from Commander to Colonel. I'd always thought he just received that rank when he returned to duty in the Yuuzhan Vong War, maybe to make him equal in rank to Gavin...but that's nothing more than speculation.

"Stackpole's Mary Sue" worth mentioning? Edit

I was reading I, Jedi and it occurred to me that Corran could be considered a Mary Sue, i.e. a character created by the author who goes on to upstage all the established characters. Stackpole not only retcons the events of 11 ABY to include Horn, but also throws all kinds of threats into the mix that weren't seen in KJA's books and shows us that if Corran weren't there to save the day behind the scenes, then Luke and everybody else would be pretty thoroughly boned.

On top of that, Corran also criticizes Luke's handling of Kyp Durron, believing that Kyp needs to be sent to Kessel or something even though he's no longer under Kun's control and has been redeemed. This may or may not be Stackpole voicing his opinions on the subject using Corran as a proxy. If so, it would explain why Luke is unable to satisfactorily counter Corran's arguments and just kind of grudgingly acknowledges that Corran is making sense, but still disagrees with him.

In addition to that, Corran has more insight into things during the Jedi Academy portion of the book than anybody else. The way he mentions that the ideas being batted around by the other students wouldn't be good enough to trap a stintaril, let alone Kun, and then goes on to tell them what to do after Kun is no longer listening in, and everybody is like "Yeah, what a great idea! That's what we'll do!"

I also found this thread:

http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=79578&start=60

Almost forgot: besides the Rogue Squadron comics from Dark Horse, I can't think of a single story off the top of my head written by Stackpole that didn't feature Corran or Hal Horn. Even in the comics, Corran made a guest appearance in a couple of issues.

If this is too POV I apologize, but it just seems a bit too blatant to ignore entirely.--HanShotFirst 21:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• A couple of comic issues is almost nothing. There's a ton of RS comics Horn is Not in. You have to remember I, Jedi is written from Horn's perspective and he is arrogant until he really decides to be a Jedi on Courkrus. -Fnlayson 23:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Of course Corran Horn is in stackpole books, it is his main character. Most authors will use their characters in almost every book they make.(UTC)
• I agree with you. I've read all the X-Wing books, I probably own most of them, and it seemes like Corran is "teh ulitimate pwn!" I've tried to count the amount of times Stackpole indicates that Wedge and the others would be properly effed without him showing up to magically save the day and lost count. I haven't seen the comics, so I can't comment on those, but maybe it's the same there. And even after he decides to be a Jedi, he's still a cocky little bastard. I really want to read a novel where he recives his comeuppance.FullmetalWookiee 19:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Blade length messed up?Edit

"Corran favored a dual-phase lightsaber and constructed one shortly after he left the academy to search for his wife. The lightsaber's initial phase was a 133 centimeter length silver blade due to a Durindfire crystal, but by twisting the grip a second crystal fell into place and the blade lengthened to 300 centimeters and changed to a brilliant purple."

If this is accurate, then his lightsaber is almost ten feet long in its second stage... nearly twice as tall as Corran himself. How can this be accurate? What is the source? Israi 00:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• The 133 cm length is from I, Jedi. That's 52 in or 4.36 ft. For the 2nd phase, Dark Tide II says it was purple and more than twice as long. Not sure about the exact length. -Fnlayson 04:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • ...is Stackpole really that dumb? That's almost as bad as having to listen to Mark Hamill explain how swords weigh 40-50 lbs. Claymores, regarded as the longest and most unwieldy of swords, average about 107 cm in blade length. So picture William Wallace's sword from the movie, multiply that by three, and you've got Corran Horn's "I'm so totally not compensating for anything" lightsaber of d00m. Israi 16:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Well he almost he almost never uses the double length blade. You want to complain about SSD lengths too? -Fnlayson 17:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
      • That's probably why he never uses it. It's pretty much for the element of surprise, like the Vong he beat by stabbing the elongate blade into his eye. It's more like a lance in that phase than a sword, which is probably how Stackpole intended it to be, not a mistake over a ridiculously large sword. Wildyoda 17:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
        • The fact that his saber's usual blade is already so much longer than any normal lightsaber (longer than Braveheart's claymore, remember?) seems to imply that Stackpole simply didn't know what he was talking about....Israi 23:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
        • Indeed. Authors often have ridiculously long swords. However, there may be an out - the blade of a lightsaber is (presumably) weightless, so Corran's sabre wouldn't be any heavier with its incredibly long blade. It would look dumb though. QuentinGeorge 23:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Corran in Jedi Academy? Edit

I was playing it at a friend's the other day, and in the scene where the padawans are assigned masters, there is a goateed human man standing off to the side with Katarn and a few other older people, presumably the other masters. This is right before Raltharan is assigned to Horn. Is this Corran? Or does that model change each time? Kuralyov 03:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

That might've been just an extra. But Skywalker does mention Corran (You have to listen closely because Katarn starts talking as the scene shifts)and seems to be giving him orders just like he did with Katarn. This is all off camera but there is that little tidbit. ~Anonymous Star Wars Fan

Corran = Joe FlaniganEdit

In the image to the right, Corran looks nearly exactly like the actor Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis. Might be worth a mention in BtS. ~ CorranFett ^(Talk) 18:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

LongestEdit

Wow...the longest article on Wook. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12) talk 10:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Introduction Edit

-The introduction to this article seems too long. Then again, this article is full of too-long things: The article itself and Corran's lightsaber, for example. Anyone else think we ought to cut it down? Elex Wulfen 05:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• As much as I love the fact that Corran Horn has the longest article, it's getting to be a load issue, simple things, like the first quote, should be shortened. KierenHorn 23:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Iella Qote Edit

I have a quote for the relationships section about Iella:

Somebody tell me what they think of that replacing the current one.—Darth Malevolous^{(Through power I gain victory.)} 20:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• That's . . . not about their romantic relationship. The current one should stay. Havac 05:09, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Corrans Image Edit

Anyone notice how he seems to fluctuate between ages, hair color, hair length and beard through all those pictures? He seems to take after Bilbo Baggins in one shot, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in another. Why is that? Is he having a style crisis or something? FullmetalWookiee 05:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

• Well I can tell you that for one image (probably the one you mean when you say he resembles Bilbo) Michael Stackpole was asked to stand in as Corran. He did so, even though he knew full well he looked nothing like how he'd described Corran. I suppose then, while the image is to the best of my knowledge canon, Corran being balding, graying (at that stage), and somewhat on the heavy side is not canon. One could easily say that in that picture he was in disguise (given his company, Mara Jade and Talon Karrde, that is quite plausible), but no, that's not intended to be his normal appearance. Jenosidanian 23:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

New information to be added Edit

On p. 136 of The New Jedi Order Sourcebook, under the Mara Jade section, Corran Horn is mentioned. "Mara Jade and Jaina Solo encounter a refugee ship pursued by a Yuuzhan Vong frigate on Mara's first mission after the birth of her child. Aboard the refugee ship, self-exiled Jedi Corran Horn has faced the newest Yuuzhan Vong weapon - the Jedi-hunting voxyn - and barely gets away in an escape pod. Only quick thinking and excellent flying allow Mara and Jaina to rescue Corran's pod before it plunges into a nearby gas giant". This doesn't seem to pose any continuity problems, but I thought I'd leave this Featured Article's author to add it. 86.140.64.226 18:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Shorter quote Edit

Why is there such a long quote at the start of this article? There are other character's with eulogies and you don't see theirs at the start of their article. This introduction is enormous. Some people simply want to find out who he is, without having to read for five minutes. If someone wants to know more than the introduction, they read the rest of the article. The introduction is not consistent with this article's featured status. Also, if you are going to put someone's eulogy at the start of their article, they should actually be DEAD FIRST... (- -) 19:16, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Good points both. I actually refused to put that quote into my Finnish translation of the article because it is simply too long.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 19:31, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

• • I'd really like to change it, but seeing as this is an FA, someone with higher authority should do that. Maybe put up a request to change the quote in the Senate Hall or somewhere.--ID-21 Dolphin 19:45, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
