[edit] Main Image

Could anyone get a better pic for his main image? Zao was a very wise jedi master, yet this pic makes him look like an idiot.--DarkShroud 01:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taoism

Much has been made of the fact that the Jedi beliefs seem to be a sort of bastardized Taoism. It is interesting to note that Zao's behavior and interpretation of the Force dovetails much more closely with traditional Taoism than those of mainstream Jedi.

Even the name sounds Chinese. -69.249.92.211 04:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I believe it is Chinese. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Where are these images from? I don't think they were done by Duursema, at least they don't look it. Cull Tremayne 10:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gray?

Where is the source for Zao being a gray? Darth Byss 16:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • He did operate quite independantly of the Council... -69.249.85.13 17:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Which would make it fan speculation. Unless someone in canon called him gray, we can't. Gonk (Gonk!) 14:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Like Zatoichi?

Has anyone thought of Zatoichi when they read this? They are both blind, they both carry blades inside of a cane, they are both very skilled swordsman, and they both work independantly.It may just be me, but I thought I should point that out. Darth Scath 05:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

  • It's not just you. The archetype of the blind master swordsman definitely hails from Zatoichi stories. Vryce 20:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
