    If you can't decide, just turn out the lights and imagine.

    Wise words. My Jaden was always a guy though. I might make Jaden female next time I play the game.

    For a good portion of my files, I played Jaden as a lightside male. I did play one as a female though, just so I could picture myself being Jaden and make the decisions on my own terms..

    just like KOTOR. I mean, Revan: Male or Female?

    I say Male human because that's what's on all the promo material, the voice doesn't have any "alien effects" applied to it, and the model doesn't pass inside itself as much with him.

    Female twi'lek.

    I tried making Jaden a guy once, but it just didn't feel right.

    But touching yourself feels right when Jaden is a female Twi'lek? :p

    But personally I like Jaden as a Kel Dor male just because Luke needed one in the NJO.

    LucasArts has a general policy that the main character in SW games that have character creation is canonically male, human, and lightside. The only exception is KoTOR II, where the Exile is canonically female, but still lightside human.

    I've heard that before, but the Exile as a female doesn't seem right to me, for a lot of reasons. For example, I think the Handmaiden is a far better character than the Disciple. It just doesn't seem right.

    Well, the Exile is referred to as a heroine in several Essential Guides, so yes, the Exile is female lightside human canonically.

    The main reason was people complaining thinking that Revan being female was a better story plot in KoTOR. However, Lucasarts had (and still has, considering Force Unleashed) the "male lightside human" policy regarding canonicity, so they threw the fans a bone by making the Exile female.

    Ugh all those Carth/Revan fan girls.

    Revan could be a girl, but Carth is too much of a sissy for her. She should be hooking it up with Big Z. Revan as a guy works too, but if anything I find the roles should be reversed. Revan could work better as a girl then the exile. But then the bastila romance cancells out and alot of people are generally unhappy.

    Then again, you'd be suprised how much femslash fan fiction you can find of people thinking Revan and Bastila are lesbian lovers.

    Mmm...fem Revan and Bastila...

    Whoops. Mind in the gutter. Anyway, yeah, I think female Revan and male Exile works a whole lot better than what we're being told. But hey, I don't have to obey canon in my own mind, so there.

    As for Jaden, I think a darksider zabrak female would be good, if for nothing more than changing things up a bit. Besides, the search for Jaden Korr is an excellent starting point for another Katarn game.

    I agree. There is nothing so boring and predictable then to have Light-Sided Human Male as the default canon type in video games. It would be cool to read stories of a non-human female as the starring character, and to se how she sees things.

    I noticed the Zabrak female Jaden and the Zabrak males on the Jedi Council had hair. Why doesn't Bao-Dur or Maul have hair? Are there any others that don't have hair? :confused:

    I.U. Maybe they preferred to be bald.

    O.U. The makers chose for them to be bald.

    I doubt Maul would look even half as cool if the guy had a mullet.

    Jaden is totally human female for me.


    EDIT: And lightside, though I would be more than happy to throw that all away for a sequel with Kyle hunting down evil Jaden. But Lucasarts would never have the cojones to make the official ending to JA dark side, even if they could get a great redemption story out of it.

    It depends on what the designers had in mind meanwhile designing a game.

    A person equipped with a certain set of skills play - and thefore "feels" different than a person with another / a different set of skills.

    This is also applicable to body form.
