    Am I the only one here who thinks Nuru will become Spiker? Aside from both being Chiss Spikers heritage and origins are shrouded in mystery and unknown, even to himself. So what if Nuru survived the Clone Wars and had amnesia/memory loss but Big Gizz kept him safe and thus Nuru became Spiker, surviving no longer a Jedi, no longer remembering but becoming a Mercenary.

    I haven't been reading the Nuru books, but that's a great catch. Although it would be... decidedly odd, if true.

    I thought the same thing since Gizz and Nuru were in that comic together.

    I agree, great news! I've always liked Spiker and was curious about his backstory. I think that story, if it were to be told would be very fascinating indeed.

    Spiker as a force user, I like that ;)

    @Milachi108, thanks for the link to the blog post about Ryder's panel.
    It was really interesting to hear him talk about the potential of the connection between the characters. I hope we see this become a reality one day.

    I hope he loses his force powers. We don't need an another jedi running around after the Purge.

    Sounds interesting, although I'm also not enthused about more Jedi surviving the Purge.

    Of course, it would be even funnier if he turned out to be "Red-Eye" Baldarek, Kyle Katarn's favorite bartender :eek:

    Yes, like CeiranHarmony said, he'll probably get amnesia, perhaps even some brain damage that affects his intellect :)

    Am i the only one that doesn't want spiker to be a jedi? Due to hundreds of diffrent authors making expanded universe books/comics etc and a lot of them not doing their research, as well as the fact that everything written in the eu is canon untill deemed non canon, there are more jedi that survived the purge then jedi who got killed.

    I really like the character of Nuru Kungurama and I was disappointed my library never got the fourth book in that series because I really wanted to see how everything turned out (and Wookieepedia didn't really update Nuru's page sufficiently). Given his connection to Gizz, it wouldn't surprise me if Spiker turned out to be Nuru with amnesia (or something).

    you realize spiker originally hated big gizz and only pretended to be friends with him? why would that be the case if he was naru?
