You gotta admit, for an old guy with a head shaped like a novelty condom, he sure got a lot of chicks.

"Damn! Another girl! Ah well, let's try again dear!"

Woohoo! I've got an awesome (IMHO) name and story for the Jedi, and I like to think it's a little different direction than has been typically seen lately. Too bad we won't know the winner until the next update though.

BTW, anyone else notice that this Jedi's lightsaber is quite similar to Mace's first saber from TPM? (although the top partially covered by her hand looks a bit different.) I bet it's the same prop. I thought of trying to explain the resemblance in my entry (maybe she especially revered Mace so she patterned her saber after his) but I didn't have room. Somebody else should take that resemblance and run with it ... I'd enjoy seeing what explanations people come up with.

If they accept mine (fat chance) I'll have quietly worked my bounty hunter character, Lawg Skrak, into the canon.

I'm new to WTS. When do they post the winning entry? (for the female Jedi?)

And I'm sure glad my username on Hyperspace is my real name. happy

Also, does this mean the winning entries will be included in any new Star Wars Encyclopedia, if they ever get around to putting out a new volume?

The female Jedi is kicking off Round 4 of WTS, so the winning entry won't be posted for another 6-8 weeks.

The winners of Round 3 should be up hopefully within the next week or two.

Hard to say, but the entries do get put into the Holocron, which means they're official and can be used in upcoming stories and included in reference books as future authors see fit. Abel Pena has said that he'll try to work in some WTS items in his articles and stuff.

I'll be pout later, so here's my submission early:


Minique Chio

Discovered by Plo Koon in the wake of the Stark Hyperspace War, Minique Chio soon rose to the rank of Jedi Knight very quickly under his guidance.

She displayed an affinity for coordination during her brief apprenticeship, spending many hours in the map room. That inclination also often drew her to the Jedi Archives, despite her lack of fondness for Master Nu.

As such, she would often bring work with her to a quiet section of the temple gardens, where she met padawan Arydon Loryeh- there for much the same reason. Almost of the same mind, a close Force-bond developed between them.

Upon her knighting, she helped coordinate operations throughout the galaxy- a role that grew increasingly vital upon the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Soon joined by Arydon, she headed all briefings held within the temple, including the Outer Rim Sieges one for which Master Kenobi was in attendance.

Afterwards, passing Anakin Skywalker in the hall, Chio and Loryeh headed for the war room. There she would deliver her final dispatch, sending U'berill Xz't's padawan, Gen Doleknight, to oversee an AgriCorps operation.

Two days later, the world came to an end. Rocked awake by an explosion, she found the Jedi under siege. Alongside Arydon, she joined in the temple's defense under Cin Drallig's leadership.

Once Drallig fell, Chio and Loryeh tried to save as many padawans as possible, but only managed to hide one, Zett, before the 501st arrived. Arydon fell in the ensuing firefight, his death shattering Chio's emotional restraint through their Force-bond.

Despair flowed out of her in a shower of Force lightning- killing the troopers around her as she collapsed to her knees. Suddenly she felt a dark presence lock onto her and close in.

Unable to find the strength to flee, she sat there as the shadow hunting her loomed over. In the final second of her life, as the lightsaber swung towards her neck, her mind managed to briefly shift away from Arydon to a final thought: "Skywalker?".





Not much in the way of continuity here- except referencex to my Tzizvvt submission (in the hail-mary-pass of possibly both winning, this explains how Doleknight could survive to become an inquisitor while Xz't had to deal with Order 66). Cin and Zett are obviously ROTS characters.

I liked the idea of her being more of a "desk job Jedi" though. Had to drop my references to Jerec and T'ra Saa though.
