And instead of Bo-Katan, I found…Kayma Arn. The names even rhyme.
Can I stress the word 'exactly' enough in saying, "Bo-Katan looks exactly like my impression of Kayma Arn?" Perhaps not the hairstyle, but the similarities are…mind-blowing. If ever I found a picture of a character that looks exactly like another character, that above picture is it.
Pity that the picture below would never happen with Kayma and Thorn. Kayma would be shooting the other way.
Do your impressions of Kayma match mine? Is this how you would have imagined Kayma?
Dmitri Pendragon
Jedi Artisan
You already know how I imagine Kayma, but except for the hair color, yeah, it's pretty close. (Also, who is the other person in the almost-Kayma-and-Thorn picture? Because it looks like Obi-Wan, but if it's Obi-Wan, why is he wearing that armor?)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's Obi-Wan. He's wearing Rako Hardeen's armour—he was in disguise as a bounty hunter to infiltrate a plot to capture Chancellor Palpatine.
DeleteThose episodes were the best. Obi wan was actually running-from-slash-chasing Maul and Savage, while helping fix Mandalore, saving his girlfriend, and (supposedly) Palpatine (which unwittingly solved his Maul problem x)
ReplyDeleteKayma is hard to compare to a CGI cartoon, but I was thinking more along the lines of Shae Vizla.
Wait...*looks from Dmitri to Sunblade* were you guys, like, discussing Kayma's appearance or something?
Yeah, I didn't watch them, but I read their summaries. (Although out of all the Clone Wars episodes, those are the ones I'd want to watch most.)
DeleteI had a look at Shae Vizla. Very close, but I think Bo-Katan is closer to my mental image. Is Shae related to Pre Vizsla? Their names are spelt differently, but they're both Mandalorians…
No, not quite. On the Underground, Leilani posted several fan pictures of CaC2 characters. Here's the one of Kayma: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34741167/Other/Dolls/Star%20Wars/Kayma1.png
Yeah I figured
DeleteThey are of the same clan, Vizla
Hmm, well, now you know. May as well cross them and take the middle ground
Ah, I see
Vizla and Vizsla are spelt differently, and Shae Vizla's page said there was no established connection between the clans. I read that after asking.
DeleteHuh, is that so. I'll take your word for the reading, though I would say it could pass as the small change of 3000 years more easily than a coincidental similarity.
DeleteOh, and their names only rhyme when you pronounce Arn wrong xP remember, we use alllll our letters here ;)
ReplyDeleteI tried pronouncing Arn again, and I can't see how I'm not using all three letters. ARN. Or AHN. I pronounce those basically the same. Maybe I'm pronouncing Bo-Katan wrong.
DeleteWe pronounce R as "arr" and H as mostly silent. Katan "kah-tan" and Arn "arrn" British people and thus Z-landers pronounce them the same way. Also, it seems you tend to pronounce "r" where there is no "r", such as in Javez. It's just pronounced as it's spelled, " Jha-vez"
DeleteOn the R thing, it's that New Zealanders lengthen the A when it's an open syllable and it sounds like an R or an H.
DeleteI actually pronounce my "a", like in Kat"a"n, differently depending on the word. Like, I say "Kuh-TAHN" but I say words like "can't" and "stand" (and "and", for that matter) without the AH sound.
