for all things jathniel
sometime blogger, full time nice guy. my thoughts on life, Yankees, baseball, collectibles* and comics... in that order.... sometimes...
* - also know as Star Wars, Transformers, GI Joe and other cool stuff from my childhood. Collectively known as toys to some.
Actually quite a few to choose from but narrowed it down to...
Darth Malgus. Not one of the more popular darksiders, but he is the main badie of SWTOR. Something about the half-burned face, the half-mask, the totally awesome looking lightsaber and the armor that just makes the man.
No question here. It's still Quinlan Vos. Not much has changed since I made this entry. Maybe next year, with a new movie coming out this year, this will change. But not this year.
Ok, this was another close one. I really, really liked Hux in TFA. Nothing like having a petulant child in charge of your military might (good going, Snoke). But gonna have to go with...
Grand Moff Tarkin.
Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. The only man in the galaxy able to command a Dark Lord of the Sith. He ballsy enough to destroy and entire planet. That's right, AN ENTIRE FLIPPIN' PLANET! So he made one mistake, one lousy mistake and that's what everyone remembers.* Whatever, he is still my favorite member of the Empire. And the fact that he was portrayed by the legendary Peter Cushing just makes it that much cooler. Oh, and let's not forget the little hottie girlfriend of his, Admiral Daala. And now that they've expanded his history via Clone Wars and Rebels, how could I choose anyone else. Really, need I say more?
* - Still working on that bit of fanfic.
So I tried doing this last year. Got as far as Day 4. This year I'm shooting for at least 15 days. Let's see how it goes. Since I'm starting late, I'm going to have to knock out days 1 and 2 right away. For the record, here's the list I'll be using. Borrowed the list from a site I used last year but made some changes since TFA has been released since then. That, and Rebels is now canon.
Bonus: Why I love Star Wars
This one is easy. Quinlan Vos. Let's break it down why is he not only my favorite Jedi, but the best and baddest Jedi around.
1) His attire. Not your typical "bathrobe and pajamas" getup. Nope. The arm wraps and the breastplate armor let's you know he means business. Combine that with the simple yet striking facial tattoo and the crazy hair*, you know he is not your typical Jedi at all.
2) His story. His history is the stuff of daytime drama. His parents killed by family, losing his memory, double-agent, Dark Side adept (temporarily), left for dead... I can go on but you will just have to read up on him yourself
4) His lightsaber... and balster. Yeah, that's right. He has the elegant weapon, and a good blaster. And that look you know he means business.
3) Appearances. He's been in the movies, comic books, cartoons and he's an action figure. That also means he is canon.
4) Attachments? He had them. Meet Khaleen Hentz. Separatist hottie turned Jedi girlfriend hottie. Love the purple hair.
Which leads to...
5) Korto Vos. Yeah, he's not the first Jedi to have kids but what he had to do to get this point. Ya gotta read his adventures to really appreciate this guy. Besides, check out that awesome facial tattoo.
*- Not sure if he has dreadlocks or it's just crazy hair. Different artist always depict him differently.
