Talk:Darth Malak

message: The article says the Star Forge is in a heliostationary orbit over one of the star's poles.  Isn't a *stationary orbit above a pole impossible?  It would just be hovering a distance from the surface of the sun, which technically wouldn't be an orbit at all. --Matt Keleher 16:12, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
:Such things as a heliostationary over a star pole doesn't exist according to my modest knowledge in space mechanics ;) However it is a certitude the station is not orbiting according to the videos in the game: the stream of matter between the star and the Star Forge is not curved. Maybe the station is hovering above the star using the Force :P  --Fafner 07:28, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: On another topic, I have a doubt concerning the reason why Darth Malak converted Bastila to the Dark Side. It is said in the article they have the same type of mood, that seems a good reason indeed. But more pragmatically, like the Sith are in general, it would rather be that Dark Malak is very interested in Bastila's Battle Meditation ;)
To finish, I think the return of Dark Revan is badly explained in the article. If the article have to spoil the scenario, best say the whole thing :D I won't tell here, it should be in the article only ;) If no one correct this I will do it in a few days (no time right now). --Fafner 07:28, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, most probably he just wanted to use her Battle Meditation against the Republic, much like the Republic used (or tried to use) Revan against Malak himself. The return of Revan was, and is, badly explained, perhaps it would be better to add dark and light side endings, mentioning that the latter one is canonical. --Sikon 13:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I played the game, and Malak didn't want to turn her because they had "compatible" tempers or fashion sense, but simply because of her Battle Meditation. She was just one more tool in his arsenal. They make a big deal about her ability since the very beginning of KotOR after all, hard to miss that crucial plot element. -Hierogrammate 20:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The "Early Career" section has some particulary lame vandalism, but I don't enough to want to edit this myself. 129.2.213.123 03:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I noticed this when I looked at the article last night. Not the kind of thing I expected to find, and gives to me a new spin on the motto of "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit." I'm looking at Wikipedia with *very* different eyes now. It's the first time I log here and start "playing" with this, and what I immediately noticed and shocked me a bit was the ease in which anyone indeed *can* change the content, including this text I am entering now. As much as that troubles me, back on the topic: I have some very basic knowledge about the character to attempt to clean up the text a bit, but if somone is more knowledgeable about it... -Hierogrammate 20:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
