Stupid Question Edit

• I didn't read the old-school SW comics and I see a picture of Thon with opposable thumbs.

Can this guy weild a lightsaber? And what is the lifespan of his species? --The truth hurts... 20:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Yes, Thon can weild a lightsaber. And as to the lifespan of his species, that is canonically unknown at this point. Feel free to browse his page if you're interested in more info about him.—Tommy^{(Clean face and hands)The Anvil} 21:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually, we do know the lifespan. However, this isn't the place to be discussing it. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 21:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me Admiral, I couldn't read the PFD, could you tell me right here? --The truth hurts... 23:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Clean Up TagsEdit

Why is this article continuously bombarded with cleanup tags? I have already re-written a little of it, and the rest of it reads very well. --Darth Mantus 09:07, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Elaboration from RPG sources Edit

Added the details of Thon's origins as known to the Jedi and of the Great Sith War era

Size Matters Not Edit

How big are we thinking this guy is? Doesn't matter, I'm just a little curious. And is there a date of death? Quidon88 19:19 May 16 2006 (UTC)

• That's a difficult question because he seems to change from comic to comic. But we most often see him with Nomi Sunrider who is 1.6 meters. Often times his shoulders are significantly taller than her head so I would estimate him to be about 2 meters at the shoulders. Other times he is shown as being about level with Nomi or slightly shorter. So I would say his is somewhere between 1.5 and 2 meters. He is pretty wide and long too. An all around big guy. Nomi was scared of him at first after all. And his strength in the Force is amazing too. But that's another topic. --144.92.215.78 21:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Kyp-Durron

Eye InconsistencyEdit

Similar to Thon's size (he seems to grow quite a lot from Tales: Knights: The Saga of Nomi Sunrider #4 to #5), Thon's physical aspect also changes. This is particularly notable in his eyes: Look at this image from #4 (left) and #5 (right) - and none of those eyes are even similar to the pupil-eyed image in Power of the Jedi Sourcebook (main image for the article). I frankly consider this inconsistency important enough to deserve a menction under "Behind the Scenes", talking about "artist interpretation" of the character or anything.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

ImageEdit

The infobox image just looks strange to me. I appreciate the work that went into whiting out the background, but his legs were also blanked out and that maked the image looks ridiculous. The newly uploaded EGttF image is by far one of the best quality images of Thon to date. Why don't we put it in the infobox? - JMAS 04:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Eh...I'm not a big fan of the EGttF image, at least in the infobox. Like all TLE's stuff, it's not particularly clear, and has some funky colouring. I'd prefer a POTJ headshot with the shoulders and legs left in, and to put the EGttF one back in the P&A. -- AdmirableAckbar ^[Talk] 16:51, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Quotes Edit

As with images, I'm not a big fan of adding quotes to non-contemporary sections of the biography. I realize that there is a desire to add quotes to the first few bio sections, but those quotes have a lot more to do with his later life. Are they really necessary? Graestan^(Talk) 03:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

• That's fine, I understand what you are saying. You an roll them back ;)—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 03:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Are they formatted right? The first one doesn't seem correctly punctuated. I am not stalwart against their inclusion if they're both 100% kosher. Graestan^(Talk) 03:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Funnily enough, I've got one more I was planning on adding tomorrow.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 03:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
• The first quote, in my opinion, is unneeded and doesn't really add much, but I don't mind it too much. The second one, though, definitely needs to go, because I don't see any relevance to the section at all. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 22:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • The first one was chosen due to the first sentence of that section. Considering that the section is titled, "Jedi Master", the second one was inspired more by the section title, and additionally on the section's content. If they are so unnecessary as you all have deemed, then remove them. Sorry for trying to make the article better.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 22:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
    • I don't recall anyone attacking you or giving out about your edits, so your defensive tone is unnecessary. Grae merely asked if they were necessary and I voiced my opinion that they weren't. These things will happen on a wiki, and there's no need to take it personally. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 22:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Nothing personally taken. I simply stated my opinion. I feel neither attacked nor have i taken a defensive position. This has happened before, where my perceived "tone" was misconstrued as one of hostility, & you & I have recently discussed this. Apologies if my choice words led you to believe I felt otherwise.—Tommy9281 ^{(Peace is a lie)} 23:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Watchman Edit

What system was Thon Watchman of? It seems a bit significant to me, perhaps we should mention it? 70.26.58.188 04:12, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
