Mondo Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 She was supposed to be the golden force child 10 years after Exar Kun died according to the comics, at least from what I've researched. No mention of her in the games, but they mention Ulic, etc. What if I wanted to kill the other bounty hunters but still have the Twi'leks chase me?

Muad'Dib Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I don't know much about Vima Sunrider other than she was Nomi's daughter??? Anyway KotOR 2 takes place about 40 years after Exar Kun's war and in this game you find Nomi's robes...somewhere so I heard. But there are Jedi out there, according to the story, searching for the Exile (As the Masters indicate) or scattered in hiding. I suppose Vima is one of them. Plus the games don't exactly follow the EU to the letter as you've probably have seen, so for all we know there might not even be a Vima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan12177 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think I remember reading that in the very early stages she was considered for inclusion in KOTOR2, but later left out for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of her in the games, but they mention Ulic, etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My experience of Vima is from TotJ. In Knights of the Old Republic, The Freedon Nadd Uprsing, Dark Lords of the Sith and The Sith War she was just an infant/baby. In Redemption she was a young adult which gave me more insight into her character, but nowhere do I recall any mention of this 'golden force child' concpt of yours. Perhaps you'd care to elaborate?

Ulicus Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think I remember reading that in the very early stages she was considered for inclusion in KOTOR2, but later left out for some reason <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, no - originally she was slated to be the Bastila character in KotOR 1 (it explains the battle meditation) I'm not sure why they changed that, but I'm guessing so they could be more flexible with the character.

Muad'Dib Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Nope Matt7895, Vima was not mentioned in K1 or K2 as far as I've seen. The corpse you find inside the cave in K1 is of Duron Qel-Droma or somthing like that, he was the nephew or cousin of Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma.

Matt7895 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Ah yes I remember now, but didn't Jolee mention her in one of his fabulous stories? Or was that Nomi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 That's Nomi. Jolee says that the PC character reminds him of Nomi Sunrider who he knew a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulicus Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 If she were still alive, she'd be in her 40's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But they could have set KotOR earlier so she wouldn't have been... I guess they thought 40 years was a more reasonable gap between two Sith Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakron Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 It was not. I am very cynic over KotOR storylines since they make enoug references to those comics character to give the idea they actually know who they are and then pretty much ignore the same comics. As for Vima ... let me put this way, she was in the Tales of the Jedi comics that show a much diferent Jedi Order (not the prequels knock-off Jedi Order) and would simply not work in KotOR.

Chris Avellone Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Vima was supposed to be Bastila in K1 (seriously), but there are legal issues with using the name "sunrider" so we were not allowed to use it in K2. You'll notice Jolee mentions it in K1, however, but that was an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverwinterKnight Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Vima was supposed to be Bastila in K1 (seriously),<{POST_SNAPBACK}> that would have been interesting. although i wonder how bioware would have worked her story in, considering (as far as i know) the backstory they used for bastila isnt even close to what vimas backstory is like.

Goodwood Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Why would there be legal concerns with using the Sunrider name? Does someone else own that name? If so, give me a call and I can hop in my time machine to ruff'em up a little so they'll let BioWare use it for KotOR I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

213374U Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 That's odd, considering everything published under the brand 'Star Wars' belongs to LFL/LA. I wonder why wouldn't they be able to use it. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Drakron Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 As said some legal conflic reguarding the word Sunrider. Oddly enough when I googled it show up this: http://www.ncahf.org/articles/s-z/sunrider.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213374U Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Heh. I wonder if Sunrider is an actual name. I mean, it's not like they are naming some character 'Vima Microsoft'. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Drakron Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Likely, my guess it was "Sun Rider" because of Luke "Sky Walker" that was almost "Star Killer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nur Ab Sal Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Vima was first mentioned in 1991 Dark Empire by her descendant Vima Da Boda. Later various sources are saying that she was a great jedi of her times. Her absence in both parts of KOTOR is just stupid. She should appear as a head of the jedi council instead of that pathetic clone vandar. I can forgive ignorant Bioware but not Chris Avellone who is an EU fan just like me. She should have appeared not for the sake of continuity but becouse she's very interesting - only she made Redemption best star wars comic ever. Bizarre blurb "Vima was supposed to be Bastila in K1 (seriously), but there are legal issues with using the name "sunrider" so we were not allowed to use it in K2. You'll notice Jolee mentions it in K1, however, but that was an oversight." doesn't sound convincing. If that name was used in TOTJ and various books why exclude TSL? Are Obsidian a band of cowardly cheese-eating monkeys or what? HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyd-Rautha Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Her great-great-great grandaughter turns up in the Dark Empire Comics, but now with a different sirname, Vima Da-Boda, so if she didn't survive her offsping must have. Nomi's armband turns up, not seen anything else of the Sunriders though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
