Legacy #19: Claws of the Dragon, part 6 (of 6)

Hi! Welcome to the world of Star Wars!

 

I might be taking the information we've been given too literally when we're talking about estimates.

But it's my observation that you and Jan generally don't tell us stuff when you can't, and hint but don't outright lie to us.

So, Jan's told us that Cade is about 21 and that Morrigan is about 41 (though Calixte looks older, but I'd...guess that's not her real appearance?)

If Morrigan left 18 years ago, Cade would have been about three. But in the scene where she leaves, she says she's been out in the field for two years. That would imply that Cade was already born when she went out into "the field". Was her affair with Kol something that spanned multiple field assignments or am I taking ages too literally?

 

Dunc stole my line.

 

Well, the next previews can get interesting...Will Gunn discover her long lost brother? Will she shoot him down at last? Is the fact that she´s never allowed to shoot him down the reason of her attitude towards her mother? Did they argue about this? A conflictive family, no doubt.

 

Well, "about 18 years" is a ballpark figure.

 

As I recall, Isard wasn't so badly stacked herself. She just scared everyone off with other personality traits. Calixte is damn cuddly in comparison. And what a moue she makes!

 

Don't get too locked into any particular timeline at this point as far as ages and events go. We'll give you more info as we go along with the story.

Promise...

 

See, this is a calm, rational, sensible response that any right-thinking fan would be utterly content with.

It does however, completely overlook the fact that YOU HAVE BLOWN MY MIND WITH THIS TWIST AND I MUST OVERANALYSE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL!

 

Thanks, John and Jan!

So, now we have the what (or, some of it) and are waiting for the why. I can't even begin to imagine...

 

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but now that this has been revealed, it tickles me that Nyna and Morrigan share a page in 0.5.

 

So true! That would be pure SW. It would also explain why Gunner is such a skilled pilot. Her, latent Force abilities.

 

Which is why I wonder why Allston bothered to make Lando a dad at such an old age. Was it to hint at the fact that if Lando could do this then Luke is not too old to have another child...the possible ancestor of Kol and Cade???

 

I think Allston just wanted to make sure Lando added something to the next generation, since we're running out of new-generation characters. I doubt it's major foreshadowing. We know men don't lose what it takes to make babies as they age. It's not really necessary to prove it.

 

I know this is random but is Corde pronouned cord or core-day? Its been driving me crazy.

 

Going by the fact that Calixte is pronounced calix-tay...I assume we're going with the latter.

 

Cord.

 

Fitting, considering her role as mother to the galaxy.

Morrigan: The name's, Corde. Morrigan Corde.

Random: As in zip?

Morrigan: As in umbilical. Now, where's my ride?

 

silly imperials..

 

It's funny; I've been automatically accenting Cordé (see? There I go again) this whole time, only to realize the other day that it wasn't.

D'oh.

 

It is? Cool. I couldn't figure it out, so I just say Nyna. Which could be "neena" or "nina," I s'pose.


We need a Pronunciation Guide, lol.

 

The way I see it is


Nihl ? Knowledge of the force 7
Raw Power 6
Combat Skills 7
Total ? 20

Talon ? Knowledge 6
Raw Power 6
Combat Skills 7
Total - 19

Krayt ? Knowledge 8
Raw Power 7
Combat Sills 8
Total ? 23

Cade ? Knowledge 6
Raw Power 9
Combat skills 8
Total ? 23

Truly this system never fails.

It does seem odd that Anakin is the only Skywalker who never actually showed any uber power.

 

Well I'll be damned.

 

This is the way I've been pronouncing them:

Nyna Calixte=Nine-uh Ka-lix-tay

Corde=Cord

Shado=shadow

Sazen= say-zen

Cade Skywalker=mud (when Deliah next sees him...)

 

And that'll be in Issue.....?

 

HAHA Poor Deliah...doesn't she understand that Cade is just too much man for any one woman?

Hm...well besides Corde and Shado, I've been saying them right, I guess. I've been saying Shay-do, which is silly really considering I know a guy who pronounces his name "Shadow" and the spelling's not too different.

You sure Cade's not Cad-ay?
