[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Ventress gets the DELUXE character development treatment! Background, motivations, you name it- they mange to bring up a shiton of new questions regarding her people though...and the Sith. And what is called "Sith Magic" by the Jedi. Hell, we even get the original design for Darth Maul- a "Sith witch" realized in the series in the form of Mother Talsend. You'll see. By the end, you'll be a fan of Ventress as a character- she's much more fleshed out than Dooku, who so far remains a mystery...though you do get to see a bit of the beutiful world he aparantly owns. Not only all that, but the CW crew decided to break with Tartakovsky's series regarding her- she definitely will [b]not[/b] be serving Dooku toward the war's end and meeting her end against Anakin atop some myan-looking temple thinger. The Z-95 in CW is the predesessor to the EU Z-95, so the resemblence is like seeing a 68 Corvette and a '78 model- you can tell they're the same make, but obviously not the same model. I had not noticed it, but No, we dont get to see the Juggernaut design in use...at least not as of season five's sixth episode. What exactly have you read of the KOTOR comics? The stuff you'retalking about is the War series- which would be like issues 80-90 or something if they were numbered that way. If you missed the AMAZING stories that led up to that, it's nine trade paperbacks long, but well worth it all! ALL the issues are written by John Jackson Miller- and this guy has such a feel for the soul of Star Wars that he should be tapped to write the new movies. I have them promised to another friend for a read, but after that I'd gladly loan them to you to read. This is what the first trade and it's art looks like- look at the preview pages http://bookstores.darkhorse.com/salestools/firstlooks.php?theid=13-990 The Mandaolrian Horde from KOTOR is a lot different than the Mandos from CW though- it's 3000 years prior and the galaxy is a much less explored and less setteled place- with the Republic only about a third of it's CW size- and the Mandalorians are nomadic raiders that shun any kind of centralized governmental authority- but they're unified under a single leader with the purpose of invading the Republic... What's so cool here is that they conscript the populaces of worlds they take over- having a standardized Mandalorian style armor that can be configured for whatever species wears it....which is pretty refreshing in it's novelty! But that's not to say that veteran warriors like Rholan Dyre wear that crap- the older guys all have unique and specialized armor that serves as their public face and reputation- and in their society, a person's accomplishments are all that matters- not money.
