Malak's lower jaw

Cassidy
in Star Wars: General Discussion

I didn't feel like registering at any K1 forums so I'm asking here. In one of the visions that Revan has in K1 and during the vision/fight/scene in the tomb on Korriban in K2, Malak has his lower jaw but in K1 toward the end we see that Malak wears that metal plate to cover his massive wound, his lower jaw is completely gone. Does anyone know how he lost it? The story never told how he lost his jaw in neither game and I have wondered for a long time.

Lost it to some Jedi Master during JCW, Kavar maybe or maybe Aimo's concept :thumbsup:

Can you confirm this or is it simply your theory?

According to the StarWars.com Databank:

 

"Malak was a tall human who was horridly injured in a lightsaber duel. A swipe from a laser sword severed his lower jaw, and Malak was forced to wear a metallic jaw guard that hid his disfigurement from view. The guard also included a vocoder, through which Malak spoke with an eerie metallic tone."

But then there's the question of who did it.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I always figured that he got in a fist fight with a siberian tiger. :-

Ok then. Thank you. Too bad they don't mention who severed his jaw.......

Malak:I am the ultimate Sith Lord nothing can stop me!

 

Revan:Betcha' a 100 creds you can't stand up to a siberian tiger

 

Malak:Deal!

fifteen minutes later

Revan:OMG! Malak what happened to your jaw?!

 

Malak:Aw who cares, wheres my hundred creds?! :-

If I remember it correctly, I believe an Ewok severed his jaw.. stole the lightsaber, stabbed Malak in the lower jaw, walked around and went into Exile on Endor.

 

Interesting. When I clicked on the link to the Star Forge, I saw this at the bottom:

 

The Republic used a captive Revan to piece together clues as to the Star Forge's location, and eventually discovered the Unknown World. Republic forces attacked en masse, and despite devastating losses, were able to defeat Malak and the Star Forge.

 

So I guess the lightside ending is official for KOTOR? :-

Seems so.

I saw that not too long ago at Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revan ).

 

As for who severed Malak's jaw, I think it was purposfully left a mystery(or the writers were too lazy to think of someone).

Good lord they made Cranor Jax the sith lord? THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! he barely had eanough control to lift a sphere let alone perform with his lightsaber (ugh that sounded bad :shifty:" ) but anyway, I find it odd that they say that it was the Temple at Malachor that changed him, I was led to believe that it was the star forge that warped him because of it's incessant draw to the dark side

Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

 

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

A duel withy another Jedi, eh? It would have have to have been after the Mandalorian Wars (look, I used three "have's" :- ), as he still had his jaw during that Dantooine Cave flahsback. And as I'm guessing he didn't fight any Jedi during the Mandalorian Wars, this fight must have taken place during the Jedi Civil War went he went all eeev-il. *raises eyebrow and lifts pinkie to corner of mouth*

 

Also, Malak was supposed to be an absolute thug with a lightsaber, so probably only someone very skilled could have done it too him - maybe Kavar?

Or...perhaps Malak decided to carry out an attempt to overthrow Revan, but as fate would have it, the attempt on Revan's life resulted in the loss of Malak's lower jaw?

  • Author

Nah... I don't think so. If Malak had tried and failed to kill Revan, Revan would have killed him, not let him live to try again later.

Oh thats an easy answer, he hit on revan. Revan put him in his place and she sliced his jaw so he couldnt talk anymore lol.

1. Revan would never tolerate such usurping insolance; but would simply kill the fool to serve as an example.

 

2. Revan is a guy. The Star Wars database says so. :D

Since this isn't the spoilers forum...

 

When you meet Kavar the first time in the Onderon cantina, Mandalore is surprised to see Kavar: he thought that Kavar died in a fight against Malak. Kavar says he almost did, so it must have been a tough fight. Maybe Malak lost his jaw in that fight and in doing so, gave Kavar the opportunity to flee.

 

2. Revan is a guy. The Star Wars database says so.  :D

Lies! All lies! Exile is a guy, though.

 

My favorite theory still is that Malak tried to shave with the 'saber. Only Kyle Katarn is cool enough to trim his beard with a lightsaber.
