Maccabe Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 From what I can gather only humans can be Jedi Knights with Yoda being an exception. Does anyone know for sure if there is a rule stating that only humans can be Jedi's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's I've never heard of any such nonsense. If anything, this picture from the Jedi Council from episode I seems to indicate that humans are a minority among Jedi since Mace Windu is the only Council member who is human. You might be getting this confused with the Imperial Star fleet's supposed human-only rules (The Thrawn storyline of Star Wars novels mentioned this specifically).

csyphrett Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Anybody who is force active can be a jedi. The rules were for only the young to be trained. I havent read any of the expanded universe but the movies imply that Anakin and then Luke were the oldest apprentices accepted for training.

Lord Liaden Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Certainly the Clone Wars animated series has been rife with non-human jedi, including Anakin's own padawan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Are there any Wookiee Jedi? Or Sith? It seems like the Dark Side would really suit a short-tempered space sasquatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Onassiss Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's There used to be a "humans only" rule, but they got rid of it when 3E came out. Oh wait, that wasn't Star Wars, that was Dungeons & Dragons... and it wasn't Jedi, it was Paladins. Anyway, it was a stupid rule and everyone hated it so good riddance.

Mister E Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's 1) The Far Side of the Force is composed entirely of cows. 0) Droids are such disgustingly broken force wielders that (even more so than Bruce Lee) it is impossible to catch them using it on camera.

wrestlinggeek Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Any sentient being with Force abilities can be trained as a Jedi. The Sith rules on non-humans change depending on the writer. There has never yet been an Ewok Jedi in cannon (as far as I know), but there is at least one in my timeline set 1000 years after the movies.

Old Man Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's In my timeline the fragments of the second Death Star eventually rain down on that particular moon of Endor, reducing it to a sterilized cinder.

Starcloud Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's There's not enough mass + velocity there to cause a catastrophe like you want. You'd need a mostly intact asteroid traveling at cometary speeds. That doesn't mean the moon can't be rendered uninhabitable. Maybe the Empire took revenge once the Rebels left Endor, and just slagged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need a mostly intact asteroid traveling at cometary speeds. Or just toxic debris. You know, moon sized space station don't exaclty get a TCO Certificate and Recycling instructions. And when you know the EU, you might know what happened to Honoghr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what exaclty do want to say with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcloud Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's "sterilized cinder" implies a massive firestorm and impact. I'm not saying there wouldn't be environmental damage, in local areas where Death Star debris landed. I'm saying a planet-wide catastrophe would have to have a different cause.

wrestlinggeek Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Seems to me that the Rebellion wouldn't just pack up and leave a danger to Endor after their victory. After all, if they can stay around long enough for a celebration, they can stay long enough to clean up the worst of the mess. Get it while it's still in orbit and send it into the system's sun. Or whatever they needed to do. And yes, I do know about Hongohr, but that was a crashed ship, not a disintegrated one. And the Empire acted to artificially make the disaster even worse, under the guise of cleaning it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Re: Alien Jedi's Wasn't it a crashed ship full of bio weapons?? No, it was just an old warship. But even our old warships (or our modern ones) are far from being environmental friendly. Take that to the epic scale of Starwars and then take into account that they need a lot more energy to fly between stars. Should be by far enough to poision an entire planet.
