This sure puts a perspective on things. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Is this for real or some joke? Katana Geldar 08:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

To be fair, that is potentially a 10,000th of one percent (0.0001165595508%) of the population if one were to take Curtis Saxton's numbers at face value and give Coruscant a population of 500 trillion. Dangerdan97 00:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Maybe "Jax Pavan" is the "John Smith" of Star Wars... no, wait, that's Jon Antilles. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 01:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, according to Traitor, Coruscant's population is about one trillion people. Let's let the real canon sort things out instead of the pretend wannabe canon of Mr. Saxton. :-) Goodwood ^{(Alliance Intelligence)} 05:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

You're equating the planetary population for two widely different eras. Traitor takes place after several wars and several cataclysmic battles on the world that often left it in ruins. VT-16 21:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

And even if one trillion people, that is 0.000582797754% of the total population of Coruscant. :) -- Riffsyphon1024 06:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

But where in seven Corellian hells did this come from? I think it's silly that we can allow an Agent Smith or Lintilla into SW. How did it happen? Was it like Lintilla in Hitchhiker's? Katana Geldar 07:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean, "where does it come from?" The source is in the article. Judging by your examples, you're thinking this is some kind of cloning or duplication thing going on. It's not; these are just folks with the name "Jax Pavan." Just like these guys all have the same name. No big deal, except the fact tells us a little about human name distribution and Coruscant. jSarek 07:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

And that's a good thing because it makes things seem more realistic. You would expect names to repeat anywhere there is that many beings. And this is just Humans. Imagine how many aliens share that name. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

If your intrested in where it came from, Katana, I'd take it up with Lord Hydronium RC-1136 ^Copy 07:28, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

• Ahh, another blow against minimalism. So, is anything said about the rarity of the name? Is it common or uncommon? VT-16 21:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Let's just hope Jax is the SW equivalent to Jack, so as to add some plausibility to its profusion. Dangerdan97 18:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Use of "cum"Edit

Since what I put in my edit summary accidentally got cut short, I'll put it here. "Cum" is a legitimate preposition and is NOT interchangeable with "turned." Pavan is both a Jedi Knight and bounty hunter at the time of Coruscant Nights so the use of "cum" is justified. He doesn't turn from one to the other. Just a little reminder.

• Unfortunately, for better or for worse, the word has another, more recent and better-known vulgar meaning that obscures its prepositional usage. I'd strongly suggest replacing it with the far less controversial "and." At the very least, we should probably italicize it, since it's generally only used in Latin phrases, even though it has a lengthy attestation in English. jSarek 01:17, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
