SSD Lusankya - The Ysanne Isard appreciation thread

Greetings, exalted ones!

I've just opened a new website, "Imperial Women", a site about all the female Imperials, such as Isard, Mara Jade the Emperor's Hand, Tavira... (It's still under heavy construction, though.) The URL is:

CENSORED

Since Iceheart will be among the first ones featured on my website, I wanted to celebrate the start of my homepage by starting a thread dedicated to this impressive villainess, offering a home to all of those who want to discuss about Madam Director and her fascinating different-colored eyes.

Let's see how many will post here!

too tired to post much now but i will be a regular
Isard is cool

 

Er... yeah. Isard is one of the few villans I can stand

Yeah, exactly. You gotta hate her for what she did to our heroes, but then you love to hate her if your catch my drift.

And those multicolored eyes are way cool

Plus she was the only post-Palpatine Imperial besides Thrawn who actually kicked some butt. After that, it was just squabbling warlords.

 

A thing that came to my mind just recently: I used to be a great fan of the TV Show "The Munsters" (does anyone remember that one?).

And I always thought that Lilly (sp?) Munster's hair - which was long and black with one white strand - looked real cool. In fact, I liked it so much that I decided that when I'm old enough to have white (or at least grey) hair, I'd dye my hair black and leave one white (grey) strand as it is.

But only recently I had the thought that Ysanne Isard's hair has the same coloration as Lilly Munster's! Funny, eh? That I haven't made the connection earlier.

MTFBWY, Devi

Polgara the Sorceress has hair like that, too. So does one of the X-Men . . . I think. Let's face it: Black hair with a white streak is just too cool. [fae_silly]

 

Would this thread like Senate representation? I love Ysanne Isard, and would also love to represent the thread in the Senate (or the Empire, if you wish.).

I'd feel honored if you did that

 

Alright, here's a discussion question that came to my mind when I recently re-read the "Mara Jade - BTEH" comic: What do you think did Ysanne Isard wanted to do to Mara Jade?

My guess is that she didn't want to kill her; she "just" wanted to brainwash her, then send her after the people she really wanted killed.

Bye till soon,
Devi

*hehe*

I forgot to mention ? my roleplaying character, Devika Jade, also has long black hair with two white streaks

Bye till soon!

Does anyone of you know the book "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende? Or at least the movie "The Neverending Story II"? Anyway, there is this villainess called Xayide, who is like some sort of sorceress (Dathomir witches, anyone? ), who has long black hair and different-colored eyes (though the eyes thing is only in the book, not in the movie ) And she's really sexy (there's this undercurrent of her being seductive towards Bastian, which is really creepy since he is a kid, a little boy), and really heartless and evil. And in the movie, she also has this motive of wanting to bring "order" to Phantasia (sounds really Imperial, eh? And she has this armored guys around her (they actually turn out to be just armors, with nothing in it), like stormtroopers...)

Guess who she reminded me of?

And of course *hehe* I've also been really fascinated by Xayide as a kid (she is cool); and by Cruella de Vil (sp?) from "101 Dalmatians" (black-and-white hair, cruel, evil...). (And I've liked those cats with different-colored eyes, too.) See a pattern here? I'm probably genetically predestined to be an Isard fan

Isard is cool.

Devi - You don't have to wait till your hair turns grey to have Isard's style. Just die your hair black and have the part you want white bleached by a hair stylist.

Why! Oh Why! Did they have to destroy the Lusankya!!

 

Feeling honored to have you here, Cmdr Mitthrawnuruodo!

Good advice. Now I have no excuse to not do it

Why! Oh Why! Did they have to destroy the Lusankya!!

There, there... At least she had a glorious end. "Born" tearing up whole square kilometers of Coruscant, died tearing up a Vong worldship. Wow!

*bows head in rememberance of the glorious SSD Lusankya*

 

Yeah but ...I'd rather have her survive the war and defeat the Vong the other way!!

I know what you mean. Btw, I have my Isard haircolor(s) now, and have received the first compliments for it. *proud smile*

 

***The "Is Isard really dead?" discussion***

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the following topic: Is Isard really dead? Or is there a living Iceheart somewhere in the post-"Isard's Revenge" GFFA? Either another clone (after all, why should an important personality like the Director of Imperial Intelligence have had only one clone made of herself? ) or the original. If you really want to speculate, there is even a slim possiblity of the clone from Isard's Revenge surviving - we know that in the X-Wing books, ppl. can survive having a building collapse on top of them.

As for the original Iceheart surviving, I think that theoretically, it's entirely possible. Think about it - in the Isard death scene in Isard's Revenge, Stackpole did not explicitly say "Ysanne Isard died." He avoids such a definite, unambiguous statement. All it says is, "the world grew dark around her". This can mean she died; but it can also mean that she merely lost consciousness, right?

Also note that Stackpole specifies that Ysanne was shot in the stomach by Iella, not "between the eyes" or "straight through the heart". A shot in the stomach isn't necessarily lethal, especially in a galaxy where they have bacta tanks.


I've even seen an interview with Stackpole himself(sorry, don't know the URL right now, but I'll post it once I find it again) where he was asked about the possibility that Isard survived after Isard's Revenge. He said (I'm paraphrasing), "She's most probably (not "definitely, without a doubt") dead, but then, bacta can heal a lot.(!)"

So the possible (speculated) scenario is a follows: Isard gets shot in the stomach. She loses consciousness, but is put into a bacta tank just in time and survives. Then she is convicted to lifetime imprisonment on the Lusankya in a non-public trial just as Iella had predicted. She lives as "an anonymous prisoner, cared for by droids, forgotten", with only a few select ppl. in the NR knowing where she is; so the public simply assumes that she's dead.

Of course, the above scenario leads to another question: The Lusankya was destroyed in Rebel Stand, so if Ysanne Isard was kept there as a prisoner, we have to assume that she was brought somewhere else (to another prison facility?) before the fact. (Assuming that she hadn't died of natural causes in the meantime.) Unless the NR folks were so cruel that they simply left her there locked into her cell, so that she died when the Lusankya rammed the Vong worldship. (Damn Rebels! )

Anyway, for those of you who understand German, you can find a discussion thread with a detailed explanation on the "Isard survived" speculation here:


http://pub1.ezboard.com/fdiecantinaexpanduniverse.showMessage?topicID=724.topic

And now I'd like to know what your thoughts are. Did Isard survive? Would you like it if she had survived? Let the discussion begin!

 

Too bad poor Face never got to kill her.

 

Yeah, exactly!

 

**My Isard Barbie**

(or what happens when Devi has too much time on her hands... )

[image=http://www.geocities.com/mathura108/isardbarbie_eveninggown.JPG]

(for a better, non-distorted version of the pic, use this link)

If you want to know how I did it, I used the "design your own Barbie" page on the official Barbie website, then saved the image on my computer and did a little editing in MS Paint to add the white streaks in her hair and the red left eye. When choosing the dress, I imagined Iceheart going to some elegant Imperial reception (as seen in the BTEH comic) and wanting to look good for Palpy.

 

I can't access it! Dammit!

Oh well.

You should buy a Barbie doll and do a custom job. I want to do that for Mara and some other characters.

Ah, screw OOPM!!!!

Aargh!! I almost expected that. Darn Darth Geocities!!!

Try to copy and paste the link, then it should work:

Actually, I am in the process of doing just that. I promise to post a pic when I'm done, provided my scanner doesn't fail me.

 

I can see it! I have a magic computer!

 

Hmm...I knew I had seen this before somewhere, and here it is! With all the Isard clones running around I thought you might like this upped, Devi!

 

[face_shocked] how come i never found this!! i must give my patronage to such a thread as this

 

Heheh you have your own appreciation thread.
