About Komari Vosa

I've read her entry in the official Databank and I just can't believe that she killed 20 mandalorians...which comic or book is that in?
And c'mon- at the "battle" of Giladraan there were barelly 10 mandalorian warriors ambushed by at least two times more Jedi and yet she killed 20? What, did they stand in front of her not moving?
I don't want to start a flame war, but it sounds kinda rediculous.As much fan of the mandalorians I am I can't believe that Boba can kill 20 jedi, even padawans in one battle, let alone a un-trained adept 20 "seasoned" warriors...

 

Think of all the Jedi Jango killed with a rock, and a garrote, and his bare hands, among other things, and be happy.

 

A rock?

 

Yeah, Jango bashed a Jedi's head in with a rock in Open Seasons.

 

it was studly.

 

The comic book was "Jando Fett-Open Seasons", she is not credited but we know its her (she has one or two lines), cuz shes besides Dooku and looks the way she should

 

I thought that "loudsmouth" was hit by a rocket, as at least half a dozen other Jedi were.

 

i don't have the comic with me, but i don't think any of them were hit by the rockets.

 

Blasted good comic, too. And for cartoonish art, looked blasted 3D to boot.

 

No, she isn't hit by a rocket (I just checked), She is seen at least five times:

1)Coming down the transport ramp, beside Dooku
2)Talking to the Mandalorians before the attack (Arresting or whatever)
3)Deflecting the first bolts that go towards the Jedi
4)Cutting a Mandalorians throat with her lightsaber
5)Looking sad and regretful next to Dooku and other Jedi after the battle is over

 

The abttle could have been bigger than what was shown

 

Well, she survived the battle because she shows up in Bounty Hunter. She is the Jedi that Dooku hires Montross and Jango to find as their contest to be the clone father.

 

O ya, I remember that. LucasArts gave Vosa very... interesting clothes.

-The Scummy-

 

There is no way the blonde Jedi girl is Vosa.

 

Yeah. Cuz' people never dye their hair...

 

I believe that the holo that Dooku sent to Jango advertising the Vosa bounty showed a head-holo of her in original Jedi form and she had blond hair.

The hair change, along with the skin change, is probably a result of her Darkside use or drug experimentation. Or it could have something to do with her joining the Bando Gora cult---they seem to like to make people look a bit odd.

 

The Bando Gora messed her up big-time. Remember, they had the secret ingredient for Death Sticks. Pretty bad stuff happened to her when Dooku abandoned her.

 

I'm guessing that the "special ingredient" isn't love...

We really need more info on the Bando Gora. They were interesting and quite freaky when they snuck up on you in Bounty Hunter. If only Gamer had lasted longer, then we would have gotten "Cult Encounters of the Star Wars Universe" which could have had info on them.

Incidentally, there seem to have been other female BG other than Vosa. Gamer 10 mentions that "Bando Gora Force witches" raided Outland Transit Station, but doesn't give more info. The article was not talking of any part of Bounty Hunter, as far as I can tell, just using the settings.

 

The Bounty Hunter Strategy Guide has a little bit on them. There are two types of Bando Gora listed - the Assassin and the Captain. The Assassin is the main BG encountered in the game. The Captain is the white-faced masked BG encountered in certain areas. For the Assassin it says:

Not much is known about these shadowy followers of the Bando Gora cult. For centuries these grave-dwellers on Bogden's burial moon Kholma used ancient poisons to perform rituals on the dead. Their minds have been reduced to a primal state. Under the Dark Force powers of Komari Vosa, they now serve as her assassins, wreaking havoc on the galaxy's most powerful industries, as in a recent slaughter at a Commerce Guild summit.

For the Captain, it has:

Also known as the Bando Gora High Priest, these imposing masked figures wear the skull of the flying terrodaak and carry a mysterious staff used in ritualistic Bando Gora ceremonies. They serve as henchmen to Komari Vosa and are the enforcers of her will. They command groups of Bando Gora assassins in murderous assaults throughout the galaxy.

 

At the Battle of Galidraan the Jedi and the Mandalorians equally suffered great losses, Open Seasons just doesnt show it.

No they didn't.

Jango and Silas were the only Mandalorian survivors. The Jedi suffered 50% casualties.

Pfft. Dream on Mandy-fanboy.

 

The Jedi though considered it as great a loss as did the mandalorians. Both Morally and Quantitavely.

 

Actually, the Jedi suffered more than 50% csualties- "less than half survived..."
Furtheremore, they outnumbered the mandos, just look at how many republic ships there are. Judging by how many Jedi were on the ramp of the first ship there are more that 40 in that battle.

 

She was way to close to Ventress both in look and back story.

And the Mandalorians suffered even heavier casualties. Komari killed twenty Mandalorians alone, and, judging by the comics, Dooku and the others killed their fair share as well.

There's likely have been even more Mandalorians there as well. What's your point?

I wouldn't use "number of ships" as a way to gauge Jedi numbers. The one in TPM only had two Jedi, remember? It's possible that all the Jedi were on one ship, and the others were carrying supplies, back-up personnel and even prisons for anticipated Mandalorian prisoners.

I count the number of Jedi as consistently under 20. Any higher than that, and you're extrapolating figures out of guesswork and thin air.

She was way to close to Ventress both in look and back story.

Both were based on the same AOTC artwork.

But Komari preceeded Ventress, making her the original.

Never stated anywhere.

Dooku considers it a blunder, but never compares it to the Mandalorians losses.

When talking to Silas, he clearly calls it a "massacre", clearly showing he considers that the Mandalorians suffered an even GREATER loss.

In terms of psychological effects:

For the Jedi, Galidraan was a minor, poorly handled skirmish, with no impact on the Order as a whole - it was simply small and unimportant enough for them to shrug it off. The only Jedi affected were Dooku - who considered it a reason to leave the order - and Vosa, who first slipped to the Dark Side during it.

For the Mandalorians the battle was a complete disaster, undoing the work Jaster and Jango had done to build up the group, and effectively ended them as a force in the galaxy, until Alpha-02 rebuilt them during the Clone Wars.

Clearly, any objective examination concludes it was not "Both Morally and Quantitavely." equivalent a loss for both sides. That's pure hyperbole.
