message: I believe it would be really nice to include at least a short list of HK-47 quotes.  They are after all very funny and some people search the net for hours looking for them.
:We can keep some quotes here in the article, but the main source for them should be Wikiquotes - check  out wikiquote:Special:Search/HK-47. Quack 688 09:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it possible that the name comes from the Quo Vadis song Hunter Killer or is this just some kind of fluke? Unsigned
"Hunter Killer" is an old trope from science fiction dating back some time.  It would probably be hard to find who used it first out of the uncountable many.  In any case, the article contains a fairly credible source that defines the origin of HK-47's name (based on an interview with Bioware staff).Tarinth 17:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "There can also be a connection drawn with Agent 47 of the Hitman series, who shares the same model number as HK-47. Both characters were created and engineered by their masters to become ideal assassins. In addition, the original title for Hitman: Codename 47 was Hired Killer 47, further adding credence to this theory. In Hitman, the game revolved around eliminating 4 of the 5 original creators, and in Knights of the Old Republic, HK-47 tells stories of the demise of 4 of 5 original owners. The revelation of the true origins of both are only revealed upon meeting this 5th "mystery" owner/creator. Also, in Hitman, the final mission has the hitman destroying the lab he was created in along with all his other clones. In Knights of the Old Republic II, HK-47's personal quest is to find the lab churning out the "cheap copies of himself" and destroy it (though this was later cut)."
With all due respect to the editor this sounds more like a conspiracy theory than the actual factual information that belongs in this article and encyclopedia. This information cites no reliable sources so I'll remove it until it can be proven, same goes for similar unsourced information in the same section, however I don't doubt the possibility of a relation between the two games. On a similar note I suggest we rename the "Name" section to something more along the lines of "Origin" or "Possible Origins" and include information on his creation both in game and in reality. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 23:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Here is some text for this.
:"The Star Wars universe is filled with strange aliens, but it is the humanization of these characters that naturally endears them to us. Thus, one of the big achievements of BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic isn't simply that it is a fun Star Wars-themed RPG, but that it put its own stamp on Star Wars lore with a great story filled with memorable characters. HK-47 is the best of them, and his disdain for organic meatbags, juxtaposed with his loyalty and affection for his master Revan, makes him a hilarious and compelling character."
:[...]
:"HK-47's extreme misanthropic nature, nasty sense of humor, and delight in himan suffering betray some of our own violent desires in the game, hold a mirror to Revan's dual history with both sides of the Force, and highlight the over-arching Star Wars theme of the potential for good and evil in all of us."

Tell me if you want more. It goes on about his history and whatnot, and more about what they like about him. Blake (Talk·Edits) 18:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
