[edit] Yuuzhan Vong War? What?

Where did this whole "Jaden looks for his former master after the Yuuzhan Vong War" stuff come from? Unsigned comment by 71.163.162.225 (talk • contribs).

  • Here. Specifically, the paragraph directly to the left of the screen cap of Kyle and Jan. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 20:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how do we know he is male?

  • It says under his gender that he is male. Anyone know how we know that? Miniman 16:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
    • The New Essential Chronology refers to him as male, AFAIK. -- I need a name (Complain here) 17:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Hasn't the New Essential Cronology been out for a long time? If it refers to Jaden as Male than why did it take this long to get into the article? 65.27.139.162 10:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
        • It's been in the article ever since it was confirmed that he was male, some people just keep changing it. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
          • Yea, but it's nothing like the way people keep trying to change the Jedi Exile to male. That's still going on. Xepeyon You Speak, I've Spoken 05:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
            • You know, I'm pretty sure Jaden is canonically female. If you go to the cheat console, type "sex ", with a space after it, which is the variable that determines the voice, it shows the value. For example, if you are male,it will say, "sex" is "m", default "f". The game default is undoubtedly female. Try it yourself. Somebody, however, keeps deleting any edits that say so. Probably just one guy with nothing better to do can't stand the idea of Jaden being female, and won't even allow for the POSSIBILITY in the article. Let's see how long it is before he deltes this post. Less technically and more personally, I think the story works better if Jaden is female. Not only is Jennifer Hale a much better voice actor than Phil Tanzini, (all due respect to Phil) but it would appear that Jeff Benett and Jason Marsden recorded their voices with the understanding that Jaden was female. At least, that's what I and all my friends say, based on their tone of voice. Telling me that Jaden is male is basically saying that Rosh and Kyle are both gay. Puhleeze, people!
              • Sourcebooks trump game settings. It doesn't matter what the default is if another source outranks it. Revan could be default female, the Jedi Exile could be default male, doesn't change a thing: Jaden Korr is a dude, and thus everyone should be undoing your edits.
                That being said, I do agree that Jen did a much better job voicing her. But, sadly, that doesn't matter either. (by the way, in the future, please sing your posts with four "~'s") Din's Fire 997 08:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
                • (I got an account!) Well, I guess you're probably right about the sourcebook trumping the game settings. (Although, if you think about it, doesn't that seem a bit backwards that we're trusting a book to tell us about a game instead of the game itself?) I'd like to see that book myself. I'm kinda wondering if some people might be reading more than is actually there. It says right there in the article on the New Essential Chronology that it conflicts in some areas with established canon, so I guess you have to decide for yourself what to believe when that happens. I'll give you, though, that Jaden is probably male. (In the unlikely event that with the release of Crosscurrent Jaden's gender is established as female, I'm gonna have a good laugh JK And since you mentioned it, both Revan and the Exile's game default gender is male, not that that has anything to do with anything.)
                  So, Din's Fire Guy, I noticed you were the one who undid my edit. All I said was that Jaden was a female Twi'lek in the Planet Hoppers probably because that's the game default. You can't say that isn't true. And, you shouldn't say that such is thing is very likely non-canonical, because that's an opinion, not a fact, and encyclopedia entries are supposed to be impersonal. ( So, the four "~'s" automatically put in the date and time?) Jedi! 05:30, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Its not backwords, its the right way. Otherwise we can say that the Dark Side ending is possible. The NEC conflicts with canon? Alot of stuff conflicts with canon. Look at the new Clone Wars series.Zakor1138 05:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. The Dark Side ending is possible. It's a video game! It doesn't really have anything to do with the movies. It's not like say, Sid Meier's Gettysburg where you know the real ending is that the Union wins. The game is open-ended, so it depends on the player. I'm not saying that there's no such thing as canon, but some people put too much importance on it. Jedi! 06:32, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
    • But this is a wiki about all things Star Wars, and canon is taken very seriously here. The Jedi Exile's page is a result of that. Zakor1138 00:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lightsaber?

Is there a source that specifically states that Jaden constructed his own lightsaber without any instruction? Having played the game, the backstory for Jaden's lightsaber seems to have been intentionally left out. It's possible he got it some other way. Israi 17:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

  • From Jedi Academy's opening crawl: "JADEN KORR, a promising student from Coruscant, is en route to the Academy after achieving the impossible: creating a lightsaber without any formal Jedi training...." That's the only time I remember it being mentioned. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 22:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Interesting. I always skip the opening crawl.... --Israi 00:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canon Appearance

I think that that File:Jaden-hm.jpg is his canon appearance. In the multiplayer loading screen, you can see him looking like that fighting a Twi'lek jedi, the concept art looks just like it, his voice sounds human, and it's on the game disc.--1upD 20:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

  • The thing is that Jedi Academy has all sorts of appearances for different Jadens on loading screens, concept art, and game disc/manual illustrations. Besides, isn't that illustration on the game disc a blonde guy? And I think there are other different versions on the other discs as well. -BaronGrackle 21:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Nowhere does it say that's Jaden on the multiplayer loading screen. -- I need a name (Complain here) 14:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
      • No, but the guy there looks just like the Human Male concept art and the pic printed on the disk. We know he's a human male.--1upD 20:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
        • We are only certain that he is a male, not necessarily Human. Let us pray and hope he's related to Vani Korr. Stake black msg 14:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
          • We know he's human from the voice, and Vani Korr.--1upD 20:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
            • No we don't. -- I need a name (Complain here) 20:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
              • The voice may indicate something, but for now, nothing can be assured. Stake black msg 21:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
                • Well, when will we know? Other sources indicate Rodians and Kel Dor sound different than humans. He has a human voice. His official human appearance is probably the one on the disc on the loading screen and in the concept art. Can I at least put something in "behind the scenes"?--1upD 00:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                  • So? That doesn't mean Jaden couldn't have learned Basic. He was born in Coruscant, so it's quite possible. I think the Bts section has enough info on that subject. Stake black msg 16:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                  • *SIGH* Yes, but if he was a Rodian or Kel Dor, he would have a MAJOR accent. Their vocal chords are probably TOTALLY different than Humans.--1upD 20:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                    • Hmmm...on the LOTF page here, it says Jaden will appear in Fury. Maybe we'll see his species then.
  • You might be correct, but that's not enough to define anything =/ And that can't really be taken as the truth, since we've never seen Rodians or Kel Dorians speaking Basic, so... Stake black msg 22:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Plo Koon speaks Basic in Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns. It's pretty much the same as a human, except his voice goes through that metal mask thing first. -- I need a name (Complain here) 22:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
      • And Reelo Baruk, a Rodian, speaks Basic. Yes, Rodians and Kel Dor have typically sounded slightly different than humans... but that could just mean that the game developers didn't want to invest the time, money, or disk space to record all of the male Jaden's dialogue two more times. His voice seems to hint at him being human, but until that's inarguably confirmed, it's speculation. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 19:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
        • Jaden Korr's dialog also came in French and German. I do not hear a clamor for those accents to be the canon voice. Some things just cannot be known. Karohalva 19:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
          • well, yea. the other languages are so people who don't speak English can play the game without using a dictionary. 69.118.103.231 17:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
            • and what use, may i ask, would a dictionary be? AdmirableAckbar 17:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

A TRANSLATION dictionary mabye?SargeLIVES 23:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Is it just me or is the image used on the main page centered more around the Stormtrooper rather than Jaden? Giga Hertz 11:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

  • The point is to *not* show his face, since his species aren't defined yet. Stake black msg 20:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homeworld?

  • What's the source for Coruscant being his homeworld? Jasca Ducato Sith Council 19:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Jedi Academy opening crawl. A promising student from Coruscant. --RedemptionTalk 20:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kor or Korr 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Almost a year ago, there was a discussion about how some JA game manuals listed Jaden's last name as "Kor." The guy who brought it up had seemed to be the only one who had this error in his manual, so it would appear that the consensus came to be to make note of it on the page as being a typo with his booklet. Now, I have a made a brilliant discovery. In my manual, it almost always states Jaden's last name as "Korr," except in the "Credits" section. Under the "Voice Cast" subsection, Jaden's last name is "Kor," as the guy had alleged. It also makes other spelling errors, like spelling Bob Bergen as "Bob Bergin". It is my assumption that this Credits section was added late in production and was done sloppily to get it in in time. So, I have to ask all of the members of Wookieepedia to join hands and sing to look in their manuals in the "Voice Cast" section to see if you have it as well. --FireV 17:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Just checked it, mine says "Kor" in the credits section too. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 17:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Mine too. And as far as I can tell, it's "Korr" EVERYWHERE else. So should we remove the section of the article about the discrepancy? Seems kinda silly to have all that for one typo. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 18:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I think we should. Seeing as it is just one of the smallest of typos, it probably doesn't need its own section. Maybe it can be sneaked into the BTS section, if at all. --FireV 20:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Done. It's gone. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 20:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Jedi Jaden Korr

Page??? Unsigned comment by 74.245.90.197 (talk • contribs).

  • Kind of dumb that they offered alternate endings but choose one as cannon. Unsigned comment by 76.178.136.87 (talk • contribs).
    • They kind of have to, if they want to make future games. jSarek 02:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Not really, offer alternate beginnings.

  • That might work for a following game, like at the beginning of KotOR II where you have your choice of Revan's alignment and gender from KotOR, however it would get too confusing when it gets referenced later. -- Reignfire (Holotranceiver) 04:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • it also allows for people to see how the game fits canonicaly without having to play the game also it allows players to choose how they want to play the game but still fits in with the rest of the star wars universe. Dark Lord Xander (Embrace The Dark Side!) 04:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thats gonna leave a mark

He KILLS rosh?!?!? gosh i dont wanna turn to the dark side. and in the light side he gets his arm chopped off? wow thats gonna leave a mark

[edit] Fury appearance

The article mentions very briefly Jaden's participation in the Battle of Centerpoint Station. Can anyone with a copy of Fury tell me if there is anything more with relevance that could be added to the article? Stake black msg 01:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

  • There was nothing more than him being mentioned with other Jedi who were getting ready for the battle. Can't find the book to give you an exact quote though, sorry. NighthawkLeader 04:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I see. If his gender is also implyied in the novel, it would be great to know. Thanks. Stake black msg 01:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Nope sorry. All it says is in a section with Kyp looking around the shuttle Broadside, he saw "Jedi such as Valin Horn and Jaden Korr among them, anonymous behind their visors." NighthawkLeader 02:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Aw, I see. Thanks for the info ^^ Stake black msg 18:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
"He was still active in the Order as of 40 ABY. He assisted Jedi Master Kyp Durron, Valin Horn, Dr. Seyah, and several other Jedi on a mission to destroy Centerpoint Station during the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War. At this time, Jaden was still a Jedi Knight."
  • Where is this from? I know that he makes an appearance in the novel, and this is correctly cited in the article, but nowhere in the book does it specify his rank! As Nighthawk leader already posted, the only thing the book does says about him is that he was simply a Jedi among the strike team headed toward Centerpoint Station. You cannot read into something that isn't there. For all we know he may very well be a Jedi Master by this time. I'm not going to say he was, because we don't know. But evidence would point to its plausibility. One such example: the fact that he began (and completed) his training in 14 ABY, three years before Master Sebatyne's own master began hers (in 17 ABY).--Master Dakari 03:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

What page is he mentioned on in Fury?????


Hey, Rash could have been a girl, and u put male.. i demand change

[edit] Infobox image

I've been gone awhile, so please correct me if my information isn't up to date. But while it is known that Jaden is a male (given the choice of pronoun used to describe him in The New Essential Chronology), we're still unsure of his species. And that's the problem with the current infobox image: he has obviously human hands.

I don't mean this to come across as a whiny bid to get the old picture restored... but the hands were purposefully obscured in the last one. If there are no objections, I'd like to replace the current image with that old black-and-white picture of Jaden's back that everybody hated. -- SM-716 File:716chiss.gif talk? 23:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

  • The previous image was indeed much better. This one hasn't the "epic" feeling that was in the other, in my opinion, a big loss for a jedi main picture. Kaal 13:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the image from the infobox because, to put it simply, its has no use being there. All we know about Korr is that he was a male, which is already clearly stated in the infobox in the gender field, so having a picture of a torse is totally pointless and a waste of space. No-one wants to know what a Hoth warm suit look likes, if they did, they would look it up under an apparel article or something.


There is no reason that thisarticle needs such astupid main image. It will be just as informative without the distraction. And I hope no-one ocomes back with "it's better than nothing", because it is nothing, so it's not better than anything. So, once again, it's gone. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 22:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Please refrain from removing information (that is, the infobox image) from the article. Thanks. --Imperialles 22:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "So, once again, it's gone." How about no. You don't get to make that kind of decision on your own, and if you persist in trying you will be blocked. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 22:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Jasca, rather than unilaterally removing something you think is stupid, why don't you just fix it? I'm sure you could find a better image if you tried. It worked well enough for the Jedi Exile article. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
      • Ah, that was my bad, SM-716. I didn't know about the different hand models for the Hoth jumpsuit - I thought they were just the same gloved models. A quick check revealed I was wrong. In that, a revert back to the old image would probably be best, unless a frontal view could be snapped where the hands could be cropped out without a problem. Jorrel Fraajic 22:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Can we please unblock now? I have some edits to make. Stake black msg 02:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I see it is still the hoth suit picture I would like to help but how does one restrict their search to images?SargeLIVES 23:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Jaden! Hang on, the camera is a bit messed up.

Just wanted to know: What happened to the colourless image with Jaden holding a lightsaber vs snowtroopers? I mean, it looked cool, it gave a good impression, etc. This new one I think isn't worthy to be Jaden Korr's main image. Could someone give me an explanation? 59.100.157.5 06:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

When I said 'worthy' I don't mean like 'Kyle Katarn's Awesomeness' worthiness, but of Wookieepedian standards. I see that people in the topic above have dicussed it but no action has been taken thus far. Mathos Rin 07:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

May I see some response or action, please? Mathos Rin 11:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LS/DS Ending

As far as I know, no source has actually confirmed a Light Side ending for Jedi Academy. All we know is that Jaden is Light Side as of the events of the Yuuzhan Vong War, years after the events of Jedi Academy. Considering that a Dark Side Jaden would be far from the first NJO member to commit atrocities and be redeemed to the Light, and that the Dark Side ending *explicitly references this possibility* (Luke telling Kyle "There is still good in him...", we have no reason to say that the LS ending is canon, as opposed to Jaden killing Rosh, stealing the Scepter and eventually being stopped by Kyle.

Unless we have a source specifically saying that Rosh Penin lives to become a Jedi, that Jaden heroically defeated Tavion and the ghost of Marka Ragnos, that Jaden never turned to the Dark Side, or flat-out "The Light Side ending of Jedi Academy is canon", this should be marked as uncertain and the DS ending should be given equal canonicity as the LS one. The sources given in this article certainly say nothing of the kind; I'm changing this unless anyone has any objections.

DarthUr 11:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

  • I want to agree with you. I really, really want to agree with you. But I can't. The New Essential Chronology states:
    "Jaden Korr's heroics brought an end to the [Disciples of Ragnos] crisis, as well as pride to his teacher."

    and the Essential Guide to the Force states:

    "The spirit of Sith Lord Marka Ragnos inspires a Sith cult, but is defeated by Jedi trainee Jaden Korr, a student of Kyle Katarn."

    and most importantly,

    "Tavion resurrected and was quickly possessed by Ragnos's spirit, but Jaden Korr defeated them and brought an end to the cult."
    So yeah. The light side ending is totally canon. Heck, when I went to look up those sources, even I didn't think there'd be that much evidense, but sadly, there is. Din's Fire 997 17:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
    • All right, reverting then. DarthUr 19:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Paul S. Kemp to write Jaden Korr SW novel

It has been approved by Lucasarts et al. But according to Paul's website, he has gotten the go ahead to write a novel with Jaden as his lead character.

If you are unfamiliar with Kemp, he writes in the Forgotten Realms universe and is quite talented. Every bit as good as RA Salvatore. Anyway, I just thought you lot would like to know.

Title Crosscurrent

[edit] Human Confirmed!

I went to Paul Kemp's Livejournal and asked him under the discussion section about Jaden's species. He replied that he was human. The source is here (at the bottom):

  • Finally! Thanks for the link. Now we only have to decide what his canon face is.:) (Hope it's going to be the black one. I played with it.)QuiGonJinnAlways remember, your focus determines your reality. 20:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Hm, unfortunately him being Human still doesn't help image wise. Was he blonde, brunette or black? Stake black msg 20:13, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
      • You could probably just ask the author. He took five minutes to answer my question. I'm not joking.Muldoon X9 22:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
        • Aw, I was hoping he'd be a Kel Dor. But anyway, here's to hoping no one will constantly dispute this like they did with the Jedi Exile's gender. :P --Golden Monkey 22:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Even thoug i'm male jaden will always be a female white skinned twi'lek to me canon be damned.Xion1212 05:04, 3 January 2009 (UTC)xion1212

  • Is the author bound to pick one of the faces as canon? None of those faces might fill the character he's penning. --Black Jack Scarron 00:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • It's my understanding that with the exception of George Lucas (and to a smaller extent, Leland Chee), statements given by an author or other creator outside of the publication itself is not included within the SW canon hierarchy, and therefore should not be included in the in-universe section of an article. While I have no doubt that Mr. Kemp plans to make Jaden a human in Crosscurrent, at most we should keep that information in the BTS until it appears in a preview, Crosscurrent itself, or another licensed source, after which we can incorporate it in the in-universe section. --Muuuuuurgh 02:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Since we now know (until official release of the novel) that Jaden is a human male, I've done this pic (using Raven Software's model viewer), representing three of the possible appearances. Maybe it could fit in the article, I don't know. Anyway, here it is. -- Kaal 13:43, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
  • well i used the ginger on the right. his face just looked to me like it fit with the voice. again i wonder if the author looks at these faces and thinks," gee, do i really have to pick between these? " .

i guess we'll have to wait to see concept art and finally the final cover art before any face is made canon. --Black Jack Scarron 00:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Just wondering: is it ever planned that Jaden will appear on the cover? --Kaal 12:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Powers and abilities

The Word also gets used about a million times. Could use a clean up69.179.79.114 04:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)--Jlryan 18:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

  • I've cleaned it up. How does it look now? Stake black msg 14:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

It does read easier. Im thinking that this section would be better as a list of "known to have used" powers and abillities since there are so many it is unavoidable to be what looks to me as one huge freaking run-on sentance. Im going to give a shot at it and see if I can clear it up some more. Revert if you like your version better.--69.179.79.114 18:10, 13 May 2009 (UTC)--Jlryan 18:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

K I cleaned it up to how I thought it should be. Please revert/edit if you feel it could use a further change/revert.--69.179.79.114 18:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)--Jlryan 18:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

didnt remember i had a user account on here, silly me --Jlryan 18:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

  • I have a few issues with this new version. First off, it's supposed to be unbiased and confirmed by facts.
  1. Some claim to have witnessed him using others during his career. Any sources to confirm that?
  2. (Jaden took these three on at the same time!) What's this exclamation mark doing here? This sentence is uneeded.
  3. Kyle Katarn, who also displays similar feats and believes that no force skill is inherently good or bad, its how you use it. Should be in past tense, and could use a rewrite, it doesn't need to look exactly with what he said in the game. Stake black msg 11:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
    • I've done some more change. Less biased and removed speculation. Stake black msg 11:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

ok and so why didnt you edit my version wrather then reverting back to that old trash version and then try to doctor that up? You listed the few things that were "wrong" and then didnt bother to edit out those few things? It still reads as a huge run on sentance. What the fuck ever--Jlryan 15:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Well, I'm open to suggestions, but I didn't think your edit made it less of a run-on sentence. Stake black msg 11:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Well it did. I deleted a ton of crap and put the huge section listing all the possible force powers in one line and all o fhis duels in one line. Sorry I didnt realise my edits were subject to your direct approval oh grand gate keeper. Likie I said WTF everJlryan 12:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

We all have the same goal here, guys. Here are a few issues I have with the section's current edit:
  1. By the time he had reached Knighthood, Jaden could even sense Humanoid life fatigue and dodged a sniper shot from behind. This is describing the effects of Force Sense, yes? Let's take it out. That kind of information belongs in the Force Sense article, as it applies to any character with a Knight level of Force Sense.
  2. But perhaps the most incredible of his abilities, was his capacity for mastering both light and dark-side oriented Force powers, including Force Absorb and even the ancient dark side power Force Drain. We don't know that Jaden learned these. Let's add them with the other powers, changing the paragraph to something like: "But perhaps the most incredible of his abilities was his capacity for mastering both light and dark side oriented Force powers. This can be in part attributed to the teachings of his master, Kyle Katarn, who also displayed similar feats. Throughout his lifetime, Jaden may have learned Force powers ranging from Force Protection, Force Healing, Mind Trick, and Force Absorb to Force Drain, Dark Rage, Force Choke, and Force Lightning." -BaronGrackle 20:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

looks familiar but yeah I agree that it looks good.Jlryan 07:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Action VI transport

Action IV transport?

In this article it says that Jaden used a Praxeum owned Action VI transport, but in the game, the ship looks nothing like this transport. Is there a source affirming that it really is an Action VI? Stake black msg 14:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

  • I edited the article. Someone misunderstood. The Action VI Transport was the one that Jaden crashed next to when investigating Blenjeel. He used parts from that Action VI to repair his own ship, which I don't believe has its own page but appears at least twice in the game (once in the intro and again in the Mission to Blenjeel. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 17:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
    • The ship on Yavin IV is the same as the one in Blenjeel, and it's not an Action IV Transport, I think. Stake black msg 23:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jaden Korr's secondary weapons.

Korr had costructed a lightsaber with no Force aid, but, maybe taking after Master Katarn, did use and rely on other weapons. This was apparent after the encounter with Rax Joris, but Jaden particularly favored one blaster. This was his trusty DL-44, which he kept concealed on his person at all times. Korr used many other weapons, including a Stouker conc rifle, Imperial Heavy Repeater, and others.

[edit] Jaden's Secondary Weapons

Jaden Korr relied on other weapons apart from his lightsaber. He may have took after Kyle Katarn to do this. The most noted was his DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, which he usually concealed somewhere easily accessible.

[edit] Crosscurrent Cover

  • Jaden is on the cover. Human Male. Thank god they didn't choose one of the faces from the game. He's white, shoulder length brunette hair greased back into a ponytail. Will someone use the cover to finally make a decent main picture for the article? --Black Jack Scarron 22:48, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
    • Actually, that is an old republic jedi, not jaden.Meesa yoda 22:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
      • Correct. The guy on the cover is the Jedi Relin, who is mentioned in the summary. Xicer9(Combadge) 22:57, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Mis-direction, beautiful. --Black Jack Scarron 01:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Abyss (novel) appearance

Current Image

Jaden Korr guards the a door to the jedi council from Han and Leia in Abyss (novel). It portrays Korr as a male. Is this even worth mention? // fodigg 16:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I believe not, because he was already established as a human male. --Revan, Prodigal Knight 19:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

  • so... this is how Jaden looks like? everyone okay with it? the uploader of thie picture says "This is Jaden Korr. TROY DENNING HAS SPOKEN. Abyss, page 126, bitches." i don't have Abyss so i'm not sure. (i did not upload this image.) –MuanN 11:51, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Abyss only says that Jaden is a tall male with brown hair and dark eyes. I don't think the picture is an offical one, just a representation of what he looks like, but I'm not totally sure because I didn't upload it or anything.--Red haired jedi 17:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Troy Denning calls him a brown-haired male. Process of elimination rules out every other depiction. In one sentence, Denning wiped out years of ambiguity. Probably by accident, based on what Sue Rostoni has said, but there it is. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 17:49, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Well this is nice, finally we can put a face in his article --Revan, Prodigal Knight 10:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Are we sure he's not dark-skinned? Because the current image looks like he's got red hair.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 16:53, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, Abyss indirectly states that Jaden's lightsaber was single-bladed, as well (though I'm not sure it said anything about the color). I think the statement was made when Jaden attempts to help the heroes apprehend Bazel Warv; It mentions that he switched to a backhand grip on his saber so he could strike with the weapon's hilt easier. -MPK 23:05, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

MPK, could you make a quote from this, please?--Revan, Prodigal Knight 03:24, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Page 226: "Han pointed his blaster pistol at the Ramoan's back, and Jaden and Avinoam flipped their lightsabers around so they could use the hilts like clubs." To me, this implies that his lightsaber is single-bladed. Anyone else have thoughts? Also, are we still going to have all screenshots of Korr only show him in his Hoth gear? -MPK 22:23, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
  • When it comes to lightsabers, whatever he's using in Abyss needn't necessarily be the same as he used during the game. He could've changed preference in the intervening 30 years. Nick Fel 15:30, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
  • Although I'd like to have as much closure on Jaden's character as possible, that statement is not necessarily concrete enough to assume it's a single blade (could be a DB with one end deactivated - who knows). I agree the single-blade is indeed implied, but I think we should probably wait on it. --Xepeyon You Speak, I've Spoken 04:53, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Uh, if Jaden Korr was described as having dark or brown hair with dark/brown eyes, then that picture is not representative. The dark-skinned Jaden would better fit the profile with his dark hair, eyes, and skin. I guess this won't be cleared up until Crosscurrent is released, but that picture is misleading. Unless, however, Jaden was not referred to as having dark eyes. I haven't read Abyss, so I wouldn't possibly know. Just saying.97.90.19.187 00:42, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Taspir/Light Ending: Alora?!

In chapter Biography/Jedi Knight it says:

"[…] Alora was eventually left dangling for dear life over a ledge. Jaden offered to help her and take her back to the academy for help, but Alora lost her grip and her life. […]"
―Someone[[Here on Wookiepedia|[src]]]

I do like the idea of Jaden offering to save Alora, but I always end up hacking her to pieces (In the Light ending, too). So the question is if this information is actually correct.

In the beginning of the level Taspir III(second part) Jaden talks with Alora about this. --Revan, Prodigal Knight 19:04, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jedi Master ??

After 29 years of service in the Order( 14 ABY - 43 ABY ) and two wars, Jaden is always a knight? Maxattac 13:50, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, until a source comes out that makes him a Master. As of Abyss, he is definitely still a Knight. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 13:53, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

It's impossible, the authors have forgotten the date of his entry into the New Jedi Order. If he had 20 years old in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, he is 49 years old in Abyss. Maxattac 14:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

It's not impossible. No canon source to date has stated that he is a Master, therefore he is not one. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel)

Jaina and her peers have been in the order much longer and they aren't Masters. The new order doesn't seem to be quite so free and easy with the rank. Nick Fel 16:00, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

  • How have Jaina and her peers been in the New Jedi Order longer than Jaden? Jaden joined up when he was older, certainly, but he's been a Jedi Knight from 14 ABY to 43 ABY = 29 years. Jaina only became a Knight in about 27 or 28 ABY (15-16 years) and was an apprentice since 23 BBY (20-21 years). Perhaps the Force isn't as strong in him as it is in Jaina or Lowie or whoever else, but Jaden did defeat the Disciples of Ragnos and has been a strong Knight for almost 30 years.

    • Uh, yeah. Somebody clearly lost track of when Jedi Academy was set or something. Nick Fel 18:02, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
