[edit] The Miraluka or the Miralukas?

If I remember correctly, Visas refers to representatives of her species as "the Miralukas". - Sikon 08:14, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Initiates of the Sith says "The Miraluka of Alpheridies." MarcK 09:23, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Power of the Jedi sourcebook also has the plural as Miraluka. I'd be inclined to think the game, as usual, is in error. QuentinGeorge 09:27, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I've mistaken. "The Miralukas" is heard exactly once in the game, other times it is "the Miraluka". I suppose it's the same kind of spelling error as "Bastilla" in Disciple's speech. By the way, why "as usual"? Does the game have other contradictions with something? - Sikon 09:48, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I hope you're being sarcastic. KotOR I & II created more contradiction than I'd like to recall Linkman95 00:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
What about...Miralukans? Could that be it? Sounds kinda nice--but what do the books say? Guest 03:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Common Names

What names are common to the Miraluka?

[edit] Eyes

I'm seeing some contradictory information with regard to Miraluka eyes. The text of this article says simply have non-functional eyes (which is highly plausible; their ancestors once had normal sight, and vestigal organs are common enought in the evolution of a species), but the infobox claims they have no physical eyes at all. Also, this picture shows Visas Marr with empty eye sockets, though given the scarring, it looks as though her eyes were gouged out rather than having never been there. So which is correct?

    • From Unseen Unheard, which I think is the only time we actually see a Mirualuka's eyes, they have sockets that are empty. Visas' looked that way because Nihilus scarred hers. Kuralyov 15:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vision?

can miraluka see 360 degree's around them o r the limited to human sight? and if other jedi hear the crys of people dieing on a large scale (like obiwan) do miraluka see it? Hicups0002 may7,2006 11:18

  • They don't "see" at all. Their perception of reality cannot be defined by a "line of sight." When Kreia teaches the Exile about seeing through the Force, she has him close his eyes and "feel" the Force. The Exile reads the minds of the crew and then further stretches out his "sight" to where he could percieve everything on the ship, even "the hum of the hyperdrive." It's hard to describe, but a Miraluka "feels" the world around him, so I guess you could say that it is like having a 360 degree vision. And I would guess that the Miraluka would feel large-scale destruction much the same way a trained Jedi would. I don't know if that helps. (Sirius Shadowflame 02:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC))
    • How about the in-game Force Sight, available to Kreia, Visas and the player (who gets it from Visas as an influence reward)? It's almost like conventional sight, except that the world appears grey and organics have a glow. Gameplay mechanics? - Sikon 15:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I'd be willing to chalk it up to gameplay mechanics, much in the same way Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess handled Link's wolf form senses. The game visualizes the world as another species senses it. Or the movie Daredevil, in the shots when we see how he hears. (Sirius Shadowflame 17:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Force sight

So here is an interesting question, could miraluka have been able to see things not connected to the force such as Vong or Ysalmari (spelled wrong I'm sure)? 70.152.43.245 06:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Errr someone special?

  • To expand on that question, would a miraluka within an ysalamiri's "anti-force bubble" be blind? {{SUBST:User:Xavius/Signature}} 10:37, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I guess so. Don't add it into the article though. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 10:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • The RPG, which I believe Wookiepedia considers canon, does indeed state that Miraluka are blind to creatures like the Vong and that their sight does not function in areas where the force is dampened, such as near ysalamiri. Should this be added? 99.154.44.67 08:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
    • If you could give me the exact name or link to the source that you are referring to, I'd be happy to check it out. Cylka-talk- 08:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] miraluka jedi are rare?

"Despite their inherent connection to the Force, Miralukan Jedi were quite rare, and Miralukan Sith were completely unheard of in the Galaxy prior to the years following the Jedi Civil War."

just wondering what the source is for this? in 'tales of the jedi: dark lords of the sith', when introducing shoaneb culu it says "her people, many of whom become jedi, see only in the force."

Philby 15:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Many Miraluka became jedi, but there weren't many Miraluka. 75.18.33.252 20:00, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Original Homeworld?

What was their original homeworld? If I believe correctly, there was only a colony on Katarr, before they moved to Alpher.

[edit] red skin?

all of the pics show them with red skin, can we add one thta doest to show thart not all of them have that? Jabberwockxeno 17:38, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
